dream inspirational-life reality
In order to make anything a reality, you have to dream about it first.
kids reality littles
Learning between grown-ups and kids should be reciprocal. The reality, unfortunately, is a little different, and it has a lot to do with trust, or a lack of it.
leaders-of-tomorrow today ears
You must lend an ear today, because we are the leaders of tomorrow
meaningful encouragement growing-up
Young people are often asked, 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' and given advice about how to lead meaningful adult lives, but where's the encouragement to lead meaningful lives right now?
motivational young-entrepreneurs world
There's no committee that says, 'This is the type of person who can change the world - and you can't.' Realizing that anyone can do it is the first step. The next step is figuring out how you're going to do it.
causes adults problem
Let's abolish the term 'childish' because adults normally cause the largest problems.
senior my-family persons
My family joke that I'm really a very senior person who accidentally happens to be 11.
war ignorant world
If I had my way, I'd end all wars and poverty. We should all be more aware of what's going on in the world around us and less ignorant.
reading three able
I was thrilled to be able to read at three. I just thought everyone loved reading as much as I did.
kids giving cynical
We always reference kids but very rarely ask their opinion. Our inexperience might be what gives us the ability to teach our elders something, due to the fact that we are not jaded or cynical.
kids goal adults
The goal is not to turn kids into your kind of adult, but rather better adults than you have been.
real school technology
To try to teach ignoring technology is to ignore the progress that we have made over the last century. If school is preparation for the real world - a real world that is increasingly technology-driven - then to ignore technology is to become obsolete.
fun children thinking
Students read for tests and because their parents ask them to, but I think it's very important to tell children that you can read for fun, too, and to understand human spirit. It builds empathy.
enthusiasm popping bubbles
Enthusiasm just creates bubbles; it doesn't keep them from popping.
