”The famous Italian diver Enzo Maiorca dove into the sea of Syracuse and was talking to his daughter Rossana who was aboard the boat. Ready to go in, he felt something slightly hit his back.
He turned and saw a dolphin. Then he realized that the dolphin did not want to play but to express something. The animal dove and Enzo followed.
At a depth of about 12 meters, trapped in an abandoned net, there was another dolphin. Enzo quickly asked his daughter to grab the diving knives.
Soon, the two of them managed to free the dolphin, which, at the end of the ordeal, emerged, issued an "almost human cry" (describes Enzo). (A dolphin can stay under water for up to 10 minutes, then it drowns.)
The released dolphin was helped to the surface by Enzo, Rosana and the other dolphin. That’s when the surprise came: she was pregnant!
The male circled them, and then stopped in front of Enzo, touched his cheek (like a kiss), in a gesture of gratitude and then they both swam off.
Enzo Maiorca ended his speech by saying: “Until man learns to respect and speak to the animal world, he can never know his true role on Earth.”

More validation... "Empathy is the future of experience. Customer empathy will be used as a differentiator with brands demonstrating knowledge of their customers & the unique ways they can serve them.” @Adobe Digital Trends Report 2021 https://t.co/Sz2FHZFPHE
We are all born curious. Yet, as we grow older, our curiosity diminishes. We fear judgment and think asking questions signals incompetence. We have this wrong.
The good news? We can recapture that inquisitive instinct.
Here's how.

My dad passed away a month ago. He never fully understood what I was doing in grad school.
I found this notebook a few days after he passed. He always cared and he was always trying to understand.
Love this story as it challenges us all to think differently about competitors. “Sharing with a friend is even more beautiful. … It was just magical.” https://t.co/8Op06YBFYO
#Empathy-based models are a much-needed alternative to the deficit model for education that is so pervasive in climate change education and many other social issues impacting the world all around us. @oupblog@DerekGladwin

@News12CT Yes - all children need to wear masks in school because not all children are vaccinated and the variant is causing a rise in cases. Do we need to even say this at this point?
