Burnout. Be careful.

As I mentioned in the blog “personal determination” posted by Bobby, I found the article “Burnout a reality for many in clergy” in Honolulu Advertiser (2006.08.20).
its first paragraph are as follows:

“Wayne Cordeiro, pastor of New Hope Christian Fellowship, hit the wall about two years ago. He went to see a psychiatrist, who told him he was on the road to emotional and mental breakdown.”

“Hit the wall” means “come up to the limitations or almost beyond one’s ability and exhausted” Although this article about a pastor, it ought to be a warning to us. There is a limit to everything.

What do you think about ‘Burnout’and teachers? How can we overcome?
