Knowing what is and knowing what can be are not the same thing.

Virtually all of life's ills boil down to mindlessness. If you can understand someone else's perspective, then there's no reason to be angry at them, envy them, steal from them.

My ideas sometimes get the better of me. Before I clearly explain one, another comes to mind and seizes my attention.

Once you've seen there is another perspective, you can never not see that there's another point of view.

People are at their most mindful when they are at play. If we find ways of enjoying our work blurring the lines between work and play the gains will be greater.

If we respect students abilities to define their own experiences, to generate their own hypotheses, and to discover new ways of categorizing the world, we might not be so quick to evaluate the adequacy of their answers. We might, instead, begin listening to their questions. Out of the questions of students come some of the most creative ideas and discoveries.

Wherever you put the mind, the body will follow.
