Brave Work

0 false 18 pt 18 pt 0 0 false false false

Seth Godin's recent blog, If your happiness is based on always getting a little more than you've got..." suggests that by following the "system" you have unwittingly turned your happiness over to the gatekeeper and "prevented yourself from the brave work that leads to a quantum leap."

 

Think about education.  

What is the message underlying the daily experiences of children in school?

 

Is it reinforcing those behaviors and attitudes that equate fulfillment and happiness with high scores and awards? 


Or is it guiding children to develop their unique potential, embracing learning as the path towards a lifetime of doing their "brave work?"
