proverbs(31,11);
My self improvement book for this year was proverbs from the King James edition of The Bible. Proverbs is very inspirational and filled with wisdom. The chapter that I most enjoy reading is chapter 31 because it tells the story about a perfect women that I one day hope to become. Some qualities that I love about her is that she was very determined, dedicated, and loved everything she did for others. My favorite verse that goes with her story is "for her price is far above rubies." As a teacher I want to set an example to my students of good morals. As I looked up the definition for a virtuous woman, It meant having or showing virtue, especially moral excellence. I want to impact the lives of my students, and be continually selfless in my inculcation of them.
Did you know that Orthodox, and some Conservative Jews, chant this poem in Hebrew to their wives before the tradional Friday night sabbath dinner?
