Not Everyone Will Like Us

Kevin Eikenberry shared on his blog 5 lessons we could learn from Elvis Presley. One thing that particularly struck me was the one that said embrace those who embrace you. He then went on to explain that being influential doesn't mean everyone has to agree with you, see your vision, or even like you. In fact when trying something new that is bold and different will make some people very uneasy.

Esperanza Elementary in itself is something new and different. Then there are certain aspects of the school that are new and different. In order for us to be successful it is critical that we stay focused on what we want to accomplish and not be swayed because someone happens to be critical of what we are doing.
