Compassion is kinder and healthier than empathy.
Evidence: when we feel others’ pain, we often get overwhelmed and withdraw. When we feel concern for their pain, we reach out and help.
The point of compassion isn't to share their feelings. It's to care about their feelings.
We will be discussing big questions tomorrow at the BestChance conference. The @MonashEducation PlayLab will be showcasing Conceptual PlayWorlds in the context of the 2022 Early Year Learning Framework - then to reflect on how it is different from regular play-based practice
We pay too much attention to the most confident voices—and too little attention to the most thoughtful ones.
Certainty is not a sign of credibility. Speaking assertively is not a substitute for thinking deeply.
It's better to learn from complex thinkers than smooth talkers.
It's better to be the wisest person in the room than the smartest.
People prove their intelligence by showing what they know. They reveal their wisdom by integrating what everyone knows.
Intelligence can be used to advance personal agendas. Wisdom guides groups to shared goals.
