Scary Stuff! I spoke to an artist last night. She was doing a painting during class one day - and she misunderstood the question, therefore, instead of painting only the bowl of flowers, she drew the whole room with the bowl of flowers inside. She w…

Very powerful, Igno! The far side of the continuum of your last question can even be more detrimental to the potential of the learner itself. -How many learners have you discouraged when they were trying to find the code for their own safes? It's…

The Safe

Is a safe supposed to be locked?
Not if it is the safe called potential...
The greatest gift a teacher can give is the code that will open the safe.
For every learner, the code may differ, and therefore the teacher who believes in the learner is the persisting, caring and resolved opener of the safe.

Sometimes we need an empty frame!

Sometimes we want to really listen. But, as someone once said, we are often not listening, but rather reloading! Well, I am again poaching one of the ideas off my own website, http://www.pixelpostcards.com to share here.

This week we were on holiday. Family camp. This meant no-camera-dad-please. Or so I thought. So, I packed them away. On Tuesday morning I went fishing with my son. Long walk. No fish.

Bonding time...
And I learnt the value of… Continue

On Guides and Guards...and the little voice of criticism...

Fascinating.
Just think about it. Who has been your most serious, most devastating critic in life?


Probably you.



As I was out taking pictures one morning, there was a guard. I don't know what he was taking care of, but it made me think. If there's… Continue
