在课堂上，我是热情的，在生活中，我是积极的；在人前，我是乐观的，在人后，也总留给别人一个印象，我要当一个强者。就像头两年我跟我的学生提到的，鼓励他们要做LEADER，TO LEAD A TEAM, TO LEAD A LIFE...我跟学生讲，历史上，能被记住的名字，大凡都是那个NUMBER ONE，奥运会上，只有得了金牌，才能博得众人的喝彩，学校里，只有当那个状元，才能真正给父母添光，每个行业的领军的第一人，才是真正的强者。。。我一直都是这样的坚信着这样的道理，也一直以这样的理论来进一步论证这20多年来的高处不胜寒，并以此自我宽慰，自我解嘲。

然而，随着成长的步伐迈出年少轻狂，开始步入人生更深的思考，我才突然发现，自己被自己的理论绊住了双脚，以致前进的道路，越走越窄。。。
