ERIC THOMAS, PH.D. IS A CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED AUTHOR, WORLD-RENOWNED SPEAKER, EDUCATOR AND PASTOR.
"AS LONG AS YOU'RE BEING A COPYCAT, YOU WILL NEVER BE THE BEST COPYCAT."

"I DO NOT TAKE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER CONSTRUCTED ANYTHING."

"CAN YOU HONESTLY SAY THE ENVIRONMENT(S) YOU ARE IN WILL YIELD THE KIND OF HARVEST YOU ARE EXPECTING?"
ERIC'S SPIRITUAL WALK, TENACITY, AND DRIVE ARE THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF HIS QUOTE, "WHEN YOU WANT TO SUCCEED AS BAD AS YOU WANT TO BREATHE, THEN YOU'LL BE SUCCESSFUL."
" SUCCESS, MEANINGFUL SUCCESS, BEGINS WHEN WE TAKE OWNERSHIP AND ACTIVELY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR PART IN THE SHORTCOMINGS OF OUR LIFE."
DRAWING FROM HIS PERSONAL EXPERIENCES: HOMELESSNESS, THE ABSENCE OF HIS BIOLOGICAL FATHER, ACADEMIC STRUGGLES, AND VARIOUS OTHER OBSTACLES, ET'S LIFE STORY ALLOWS HIM TO CONNECT WITH OTHERS FIGHTING FOR GREATNESS.

"SOME PEOPLE WANT IT TO HAPPEN, SOME WISH IT WOULD HAPPEN, OTHERS MAKE IT HAPPEN” - MICHAEL JORDAN"
ET'S PASSION IS NEVER MORE EVIDENT THAN WHEN HE'S IN A SCHOOL, CHANGING THE LIVES OF STUDENTS FOREVER. WHETHER HE'S MEETING AND GREETING STUDENTS WITH WARM HUGS AND A BITE TO EAT ON BITTERLY COLD MICHIGAN WINTER MORNINGS OR HELPING THEM TO RECOGNIZE THEIR SUPERPOWERS IN A DISTRICT-WIDE ASSEMBLY, WHERE ET GOES, GREATNESS FOLLOWS.
“STOP THE BLAME GAME. STOP! STOP LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW AND LOOK IN THE MIRROR!”
ET BELIEVES THAT EVERY KID HAS THE PROMISE OF GREATNESS WITHIN THEM — EVERY SINGLE ONE. THE KEY TO NURTURING THAT GREATNESS IS KNOWING EACH CHILD'S UNIQUE APPROACH TO LEARNING. BY IDENTIFYING THAT UNIQUE APPROACH TO LEARNING, THEIR "SUPERPOWER," TEACHERS ARE BETTER ABLE TO COACH THEIR STUDENTS TO GREATNESS! UNFORTUNATELY, MOST KIDS DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT THEY HAVE A SUPERPOWER AND, THAT'S WHERE "YOU AIN'T THE BOSS OF ME" COMES IN. EVERY STUDENT CAN SUCCEED! THEY JUST NEED THE RIGHT TOOLS TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. EVERY CHILD WANTS TO ACHIEVE GREATNESS; IT'S OUR JOB TO TEACH THEM HOW.
"PAIN IS TEMPORARY. IT MAY LAST FOR A MINUTE, OR AN HOUR OR A DAY, OR EVEN A YEAR. BUT EVENTUALLY, IT WILL SUBSIDE. AND SOMETHING ELSE TAKE ITS PLACE. IF I QUIT, HOWEVER, IT WILL LAST FOREVER."
I FIRMLY BELIEVE IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOU CAN FLY, YOU'LL ALWAYS THINK YOU CAN'T.
