being a class act

i can't take credit for the following list (the author's name escapes me at the moment--to him all credit is due) but i have been given a lot of opportunities to practice that i can speak to! 

introducing these to my students this week to create a culture that rises above the norm/expected in good and refreshing ways:

1)  live according to your own high standards

2)  be calm and graceful under pressure

3)  model the type of behavior you want to see

4)  let your humanity lead you toward greater compassion; be courteous in conflict

5)  transform ordinary moments into something meaningful and memorable

6)  express beauty, truth, and goodness

7)  tell the truth and turn defeats into progress

8)  raise the integrity of all situations

9)  foster and encourage the unique differences in others

10) increase the confidence and capabilities of those around you
