What's your sentence?

     This coming semester, some of us will be reading the book Drive, which discusses the value of intrinsic motivation. The book is a great read and really helped me strengthen my ideas on the importance of being engaged and committed to the work being done, whether it is the work we create for our students or the work we do as a staff.  
     The author, Daniel Pink, also created this 2 minute clip that the design team watched the other day at the conference at Tunnel Hill.  This short video made me think about my "sentence."  What mark or difference do I want to leave?  Is it better, as the video suggests, to try to do one simple thing well, instead of becoming muddled by trying to do too much? 
      After watching the video, please respond and let me know what your sentence is.  How do you want to be remembered?
