I think too often we are infatuated with the thought of the
next big thing. However, that is not the way the world works or life works.
Life does not have big problems every day and there are not big discoveries every
day. Big problems are often made of many little problems we let build up, and
big discoveries are often built on the backs of several smaller discoveries.
Rather than focus on the big, maybe we need to focus on the basics.
In education, we need to focus on what we can truly do to change and innovate
education to serve the next generation of people; we really have not done that in
decades. Remember, technology is a tool not a change.
In life, perhaps we need to focus on the minutia such as:
respect, courtesy, acceptance, and we need to judge less. We need to understand
rather than just listening to respond. We need to remember that social media is
not an excuse to act like a horse’s behind. We need to remember that we are all
human, and we will probably all need each other at some point; whether we know
it or not.
2019, the big idea is a small idea; let’s just be kind to
one another, and not just on Christmas. This is a perfect world thought, but
what is bad about reaching for perfection?
