NOT FOR MYSELF ALONE

If humans had taglines, what would yours be?

TAGLINE FOR HENRY

My tagline comes from a source of inspiration going back to 1968. I’ve written in the past about having given up a family farm in order to go teaching. The teachers college I went to for my two year course was Graylands Teachers College in Western Australia.

I worked very hard and was always committed to wanting to teach because I wanted to be somebody who helped others. I graduated with a quite excellent Teachers Certificate.

Throughout the time at Graylands I often reflected on the college motto. It was in Latin and stated “Non Nobis Solum” and translates as “not for ourselves alone”.

For my tagline I singularised that statement to become “not for myself alone”. I’ve tried very hard over the years to be there for others and the Graylands Teachers College Motto certainly helped in terms of focusing me on this tagline.

Not for myself alone.
