let's talk about this (update)when we talk about achievement and success...
our bad:
1) we're basing all our data on tests that measure things we really don't believe in
2) the data is biased.. leaving out info that would completely mess up the pretty numbers
this.
this is what's urgent.
people feeling like they matter..
we keep overwhelming ourselves with possible solutions
we keep throwing tons of money at possible solutions
we keep writing more rules and blaming more people in search of possible solutions
we can't stop long enough to realize we're running the wrong way
life is really simple
detox to get back to simplicity:
1) notice - be mindful of what's going on around you
2) dream - imagine yourself solving/curing/doing/creating
3) connect - to people and content to make your dream/passion/project a reality
4) do - play offense - just do it
the one skill everyone needs - knowing what to do when you don't know what to do - being usefully ignorant (erica mcwilliams) - those four steps - that's it. practice those four steps with anything you want to learn - and then - like breathing - you will always know what to do when you don't know what to do.
let's get on with...
cognitive surplus - via shirky - where generosity takes over
digital equity - via grammatis - ahumanright.org
leveling out the playing field - via rosling
community as curriculum - via cormier
= people matter most
