“The biggest fear of my life is living. My second biggest fear is dying.”
Marya Hornbacher

Brené Brown
“You share with people who've earned the right to hear your story. ...You have to earn the right to hear my story. It's an honor to hold space for me when I'm in shame.”
Brené Brown

“DIG Deep = "get deliberate, inspired, & going"

Deliberate in their thoughts and behaviors through prayer, meditation, or simply by setting intentions;

Inspired to make new and different choices;

Going. They take action.”
Brene Brown PhD LMSW

B.F. Skinner
“Severe punishment unquestionably has an immediate effect in reducing a tendency to act in a given way. This result is no doubt responsible for its widespread use. We 'instinctively' attack anyone whose behavior displeases us - perhaps not in physical assault, but with criticism, disapproval, blame, or ridicule. Whether or not there is an inherited tendency to do this, the immediate effect of the practice is reinforcing enough to explain its currency. In the long run, however, punishment does not actually eliminate behavior from a repertoire, and its temporary achievement is obtained at tremendous cost in reducing the over-all efficiency and happiness of the group. (p. 190)”
B.F. Skinner, Science and Human Behavior

“Seven Rules Formulated for Teaching Arithmetic:
1) Consider the situation the pupils faces.
2) Consider the response you wish to connect with.
3) Form the bond; do not expect it to come by miracle.
4) Other things being equal, form no bond that will have to be broken.
5) Other things being equal, do not form two or three bonds when one will serve.
6) Other things being equal, form bonds in the way that they are required later to act.
7) Favor, therefore, the situations which life itself will offer, and the responses which life itself will demand. (p. 101)”
Edward Lee Thorndike, The Psychology of Arithmetic
