"Stop focusing on the futile: making the haters like you. Focus on people who like you. Spend time cultivating relationships with those who like you and perhaps they'll come to love you (and you them.) Focus on helping and serving others and being kind. Choose to ignore those who may be speaking negative about you - that can quickly become paranoia. Usually people aren't even talking about you at all - I hate to tell you what I tell myself - you're not that important.  Keep perspective and keep to your task."

"Each week, I ask my Information Literacy for Teaching and Learning students to respond to a few prompts in a letter to me.

Haves and Wants. That's what swapping is all about. Schools don't just have "wants," they have needs. During these difficult economic times, school budgets have been cut, libraries are out of date, and teachers usually have to resort to buying their own classroom books and other resources. Swap.com has over one million members that have listed over 2.5 million items they have to swap. Our community is based on sharing; swapping stuff people have for stuff people want. Swap4Schools is an initiative designed to match swappers' Haves with schools' Wants. It's that simple. If you are a school employee, create a free account, build your want list and donations of books, movies, etc will come to directly to your school. If you are a swapper, there is no better feeling than knowing your unused item will help educate kids across the country.
