When we depress, we believe we are the victims of a feeling over which we have no control.

If you improve education by teaching for competence, eliminating schooling, and connecting with students, the test scores will improve.

Using no control and using humor will build a relationship and make a dent to where the client puts the counselor in their quality world and then begins to relate and seek out the counselor. Effective therapy begins with the acceptance of the therapist into the client's quality world.

If you want to change attitudes, start with a change in behavior. In other words, begin to act the part, as well as you can, of the person you would rather be, the person you most want to become. Gradually, the old, fearful person will fade away.

The ultimate use of power is to empower others.

When we label anyone 'bad', we will have more trouble dealing with him than if we could have settled for a lesser label.

Told that the passing grade is a B or competence and that we will help you to get there, students do competent work. The lowest passing grade in the real world is competence. Why do schools accept so much less?
