THE FINAL LESSON: SOME LAST-MINUTE REMINDERS FROM MR. SALSICH 1. When reading a challenging book... -- remember the mountain trails in New Hampshire -- keep your hard hat handy -- use a pencil like a walking stick 2. When writing an essay ... -- remember that a house can't be built without a plan and a foundation -- above ALL, be clear! -- delete unnecessary words like a gardener pulls weeds -- use special tools just every so often, to add a touch of gold to the writing -- don't forget to clean up and polish at the very end 3. When discussing in class ... -- be kind to your classmates by using SLANTS 4. Whatever is happening, remember ... -- don't judge --be patient -- keep a beginner's mind -- trust -- accept -- let go 5. Finally, remember ... ALWAYS SHOW DIGNITY, BECAUSE YOU ARE LIKE LIGHT FOR THE WHOLE WORLD
