The Big Deals and Little Details

How to understand someone? Be quiet and listen, even if you disagree—sometimes especially if you disagree.

An apple a day for teacher:

"No matter how old we are, we never lose that thrill of
having a paper come back with a gold star on it."

"One of the best gifts you can give your students is your optimism about their abilities and choices."

"A rose is a rose--unless it's an art project, in which case it is whatever the artist imagines it to be."

"We hear someone’s helpful advice

not when they are ready to talk,

but when we are ready to listen.”
