Lesson #5: Jaw-dropping moments can get you further than clear objectives. It’s hard to resist the allure of a clear milestone, but try a bunch of experiments and come back when you've found something that makes you say “holy s**t.” #x10th https://t.co/1kNE0FtcCS

"Wielding little more than a pencil, a slide rule and one of the finest mathematical minds in the country, Mrs. Johnson... calculated the precise trajectories that would let Apollo 11 land on the moon in 1969 and... let it return to Earth." (@margalitfox) https://t.co/AoHQWMc7ys

Something to consider....

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Greatness is something you pursue, not something you achieve.

It starts with holding your present self to higher standards than your past self.

You don't get to lower the bar once you've made it. The higher you climb, the more responsible you are for continuing to raise it.

Kids don’t need to be punished. They need to be told why their behavior was wrong and how they can make it right.

Kids don’t just need to feel that they can count on others. They need to feel that others are relying on them too.

“Building new, outlandish never-before-seen things is inherently uncertain… In fact, no matter what you do, you’re going to be wrong most of the time. I’ve found the trick is to understand that being wrong can be a good thing.” #19momentsofX https://t.co/ksePgIvUR9
