Quotes
"The principle goal of education in the schools should be
creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply
repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative,
inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept,
everything they are offered.”
www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/j/jean_piaget.html - "I could not think without writing.”Jean Piaget"
Jean Piaget
"Of course children
benefit from positive feedback. But praise and rewards are not the only methods
of reinforcement. More emphasis should be place on appreciation--reinforcement
related explicitly and directly to the content of the child's interest and
efforts"
"As you consider
whether to move a child into formal academic training, remember that we want
our children to do more than just learn how to read and write; we want them to
learn in such a way that they become lifelong readers and writers. If we push
our children to start learning these skills too far ahead of their own
spontaneous interest and their capacity, we may sacrifice the long-range goal
of having them enjoy such pursuits."
"Passion
is also about pursuit. It is not passive.
People with passion are driven to pursue and create. They may read books and
observe others, but they are not content being bystanders. They feel an
overwhelming urge to engage, to experience for themselves and to test their own
capabilities. Passion compels us to act."

It’s an energy source. When you’re on fire about what you do, it energizes you, and you
can
put that energy back into your work. Instead of the energy drain that work
represents for so
many people, your work actually becomes an energy gain. So not
only are you getting energy
from what you’re doing, you also aren’t having to dig into your energy just to get
through the
day. The energy differential is huge.
