Lady Gaga and the Life of Passion – The New York Times
I suppose that people who live with passion start out with an especially intense desire to complete themselves.

I suppose that people who live with passion start out with an especially intense desire to complete themselves
-
they often have a fervent curiosity about their inner natures and an unquenchable thirst to find some activity that they can pursue wholeheartedly, without reservation
-
They construct themselves inwardly by expressing themselves outwardly
-
A life of passion happens when an emotional nature meets a consuming vocation
-
they have high levels of both vulnerability and courage
-
Passionate people often discover themselves through play
-
Second, people with passion have the courage to be themselves with abandon
-
Who would you be and what would you do if you weren’t afraid?

The Big University – The New York Times

Category Archives: 21st C Learning
What kids and teachers can do…ARE doing!
Some people collect stamps. Some collect rocks. People collect many things.
Me? I collect examples of the work that students CAN do.
Many people underestimate what children can do as “school work.” What if “school work” were more “real-world-work” sourced? It’s happening at so many innovative schools. It’s happening at Mount Vernon, where I am blessed to work.
Largely because of the work that we do at Mount Vernon Presbyterian School and the Mount Vernon Institute for Innovation, I collect inspirations and examples of children doing “school work” that many might deem “adult work” for later in their lives.
This TED video from Cesar Harada is one of the best samples of “school work” that absolutely can be done by children. It’s worth your 10 minutes. And it’s worth you helping to make such work even more of a reality at the schools near you.

In 2010, when Gever Tulley, Anya Kamenetz, and I spoke at the same TEDx event, we talked offline about the eventual rise of “hyper-local micro schools.” Here’s an article about just such things beginning to disrupt independent school education.
