In Praise of
You're A Worthwhile Person in More Ways Than a Million
Thank you very much for sending me a copy of your new book, You're A Worthwhile Person in More Ways than a Million. I appreciate both your kind words about my speech in Brooklyn and the fact that you took the time to generously send me a complimentary copy of your work.
It is clear from the subject matter of your book that you recognize the importance of identifying the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary. In a way, that is part of our mission at the New York City Department of Education. We set high expectations for our students and our staff in an effort to cultivate greatness at every level in our system, so that ultimately, as your epigraph by John W. Gardner maintains, both our pipes and our theories will hold water.
Thank you again for the copy of your book and best of luck in the future."
