More quotes by William Glasser
It is almost impossible for anyone, even the most ineffective among us, to continue to choose misery after becoming aware that it is a choice.
William Glasser
We learn... 10% of what we read 20% of what we hear 30% of what we see 50% of what we both hear and see 70% of what is discussed 80% of what we experience personally 95% of what we teach to someone else
William Glasser
They have this big book called the 'DSM-IV,' you know, that is supposedly written about crazy people, but I think it is a book that is written by crazy people!
William Glasser
To focus on discipline is to ignore the real problem: We will never be able to get students (or anyone else) to be in good order if, day after day, we try to force them to do what they do not find satisfying.
William Glasser
If everyone could learn that what is right for me does not make it right for anyone else, the world would be a much happier place.
William Glasser
The ultimate use of power is to empower others.
William Glasser
There are only two places in the world where time takes precedence over the job to be done. School and prison.
William Glasser
If you want to change attitudes, start with a change in behavior. In other words, begin to act the part, as well as you can, of the person you would rather be, the person you most want to become. Gradually, the old, fearful person will fade away.
William Glasser
We don't focus as much in schools on educational knowledge which requires thinking and application, as we do on acquiring facts.
William Glasser
Unlike the weak, the strong neither give up nor are driven by pain into rash or stupid behavior. They don't like pain any more than anyone else, but they are not willing to settle for short-term relief if it means reducing their options later. They don't rob Peter to pay Paul, they face reality now.
William Glasser
Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.
William Glasser
Sex is on the minds of most people, especially those who shouldn't be having it.
William Glasser
When we depress, we believe we are the victims of a feeling over which we have no control.
William Glasser
Don't marry someone you would not be friends with if there was no sex between you.
William Glasser
When we label anyone 'bad', we will have more trouble dealing with him than if we could have settled for a lesser label.
William Glasser
The answer lies in preventing these failures, not in looking for better ways to fix the people who are failing.
William Glasser
We almost always have choices, and the better the choice, the more we will be in control of our lives.
William Glasser
You can acquire a lot of knowledge without ever going to school.
William Glasser
We may be up against a stone wall, but we don't have to bloody our heads against it unless we choose to.
William Glasser
We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.
