The secret to success is simple: find talented people, pay them fairly, and then get out of their way.

A boss motivates you with pressure, but a true leader motivates you with purpose.

It's more expensive to lose a good team member than it is to pay them fairly. Pay them what they deserve.

It's amazing what someone can achieve if they just push through the tough parts instead of giving up.

Don't count yourself out. The people in charge often aren't geniuses—they're just regular folks who stuck with it.

Don't stick to one way of teaching. If a student is struggling, try explaining things in a way that makes sense to them.

Nothing comes easily.
Success never happens on the first try.
Every task takes longer than planned.
Every challenge is tougher than imagined.
You must will it into reality.
And you have to claw your way forward, step by step.

🔢 "The number of" – Singular Verb Rule 📘

Remember: The number of + plural noun always takes a singular verb.

✅ Correct Examples:
👨‍🎓 "The number of students is eighteen."
🏠 "The number of houses is increasing."
📱 "The number of smartphones has grown."

🚫 Common Mistakes:
❌ "The number of students are eighteen."
❌ "The number of houses are increasing."
❌ "The number of errors were high."

💡 Quick Tip:
Focus on the word "number" — it’s singular!
If you mean "many" and want a plural verb, use "A number of..." instead.

✅ "A number of students are absent."

When talking about multiple individuals, we say:
“their behaviors” ✅ (plural)
Not “their behavior” ❌ (singular)

🎯 Why?
If “their” refers to more than one person, the noun should generally be plural. This keeps the sentence consistent and clear!
🌟 Examples:

✅ Not all children can control their behaviors.
(Meaning: different children may have different behaviors to manage.)
✅ I began observing their behaviors in group settings.
(Each person’s actions are being noted individually.)
❌ Avoid: “Not all children can control their behavior.”
(This can sound like they share one single behavior.)
