Successful teachers are comfortable with the unknown

Its difficult to teach in an environment where you dont know the future of your classroom budget, the involvement of your students parents, or the outcome of all your hard work. On a more philosophical level, educators who teach the higher grades are tasked with teaching students principles that have a lot of unknowns (i.e. physics). How comfortable are you with not having all the answers? Good teachers are able to function without everything tied up neatly in a bow.
