The first thing, of course, is to find a vacancy, a place where a teacher is
wanted, and the second thing is to make the school officials believe you are just the person for
the position.

Composure, a level head, a knowledge of what you want done, and why you want it done and
faith in your own ability to have it done gives composure to the whole school. Restlessness, lack
of faith in self, fear of failure, these bring about the very conditions you are striving to avoid,
The school takes its coloring from your
own attitude,
The petty worries of the
school room must not be carried to your home or boarding place.

I received comments on how extraordinary it was that I could keep up speaking for exactly 45 minutes. Indeed, in an age of soundbites lasting some seconds and of quick quotes in the news, all those minutes do seem like an eternity, easy to get lost in. Yet, wait a moment. Television is not the only place where speeches are given. Some hundred thousand teachers teach every day. They all speak 45 minutes, more times a day. They have been doing this for years. Every teacher knows exactly when the time will be over and that by then his speech will need to come to a natural end. It is this tension that determines the success of a lesson. It is a sign of the times that we forget these daily achievements in education. A million students daily attend several ‘live’ lectures and this in secondary education alone. These are high ratings!

[On famous Nobel Laureate Niels Bohr]
[Niels] Bohr's sort of humor, use of parables and stories, tolerance, dependence on family, feelings of indebtedness, obligation, and guilt, and his sense of responsibility for science, community, and, ultimately, humankind in general, are common traits of the Jewish intellectual. So too is a well-fortified atheism. Bohr ended with no religious belief and a dislike of all religions that claimed to base their teachings on revelations.
