In Harry Wong's last couple chapters of his book, he discusses the differences between a worker and a leader. I really like how he explained some of these things, "A worker cares about time and money...A leader cares about enhancement and cooperation." He goes on to say that leaders are professionals, and that professional teachers are in charge of their class. Wong also says that "Leaders have control over their own live" because they choose their lifestyle. Something that I personally believe is a choice is happiness, so I believe that these two things relate with each other.
In my classroom, I will choose to be the leader and I will choose to be happy. Wong says, "A person's behavior will determine what choices that person will make." My behavior will eventually effect other people, so as long as I am able to keep choosing positivity, I will have a successful classroom.
Being an "enhancement person" will be another important factor to my happy and successful classroom. I will strive for greatness to help my students and other teachers around me.
