Human beings are works in progress that mistakenly think they’re finished. The person you are right now is as transient, as fleeting and as temporary as all the people you’ve ever been. The one constant in our lives is change.
from #DanielGilbert (1957) #TEDTalk at #TED2014 (March) titled “The psychology of your future self” in #Vancouver
I wish all schools would adopt a #PositiveEducation approach and teach our kids what we need as humans to #thrive and create a meaningful and fulfilling life. Research shows that we don't intuaitively know how to do that. In fact, we often strive for goals that we (falsely) assume will make us #happy - a phenomenon called #miswanting.
