breaking assumptions

“revolution is about breaking assumptions

— benjamin zander

more quotes from the video:

“what assumptions are we making that we don’t know we are making?”

– ‘awareness’ is a word that comes through very often in work lately. how can one be aware of something that s/he doesn’t know s/he should be aware but isn’t aware of. somewhat resonates with what zander is saying though not exactly the same line of thoughts.

“we assume that success is measured in wealth, fame, and influence… over here, we only measure success in how many shiny eyes there are.”

– as teachers, how do we keep our learners’ eyes shiny, daily, monthly, annually, for as long as they are in our classes/school, and learners in society later?
