Rethinking looks good on paper

Oh dear, you mean we are in charge of our destiny?

 

Rethinking public education in 2015 makes sense to Baby Boomers.

Rethinking mid-life, right now, is a much tougher sell to Boomers.

In either case, it is done to change the trajectory.

The 2nd best time to rethink was yesterday.

The best time is today.

Do something that scares you, or something you “absolutely don’t have time for”, like take a walk outside.

Ask, “Am I satisfied?”

A summary of how and why Finland is rethinking education is here.

(Summary: By 2020, Finland plans to phase out teaching individual subjects such as math, chemistry and physics, and instead teach students by ‘topics’ or broad phenomena, so that there’s no more question about “what’s the point of learning this?”)

Who teaches us this?

Are owls wise? Are we?

 

Who teaches us this?

Theory is meaningless without action.

Knowlege isn’t power.

Knowledge is only the seed of power.

Power comes from action.

Taking risks is risky. So is playing it safe.

How do we improve without these special, daily moments?

Disney motivational keynote Speaker
This is a ridiculously small goal.

 

Here’s to hoping today provides us multiple moments of undistracted, unmedicated, peaceful introspection, in spite of the heavy burdens on our shoulders.

In these moments, our attitude is adjusted in a more deliberate way.

An intentional, good way.

This basically is a daily habit we master or don’t master.

PS. The photo above shows a bar set dangerously low. How about:

“Go a lifetime without complaining and see what happens.”
