This Is the Sign of a Great Thinker, According to Jeff Bezos and Adam Grant

Snippit:

*Because wisdom isn’t found in certainty. Wisdom is knowing that while you might know a lot, there’s also a lot you don’t know.

*Wisdom is trying to find out what is right rather than trying to be right.

*Wisdom is realizing when you’re wrong, and backing down graciously.

*Great thinkers aren’t afraid to be wrong. Great thinkers aren’t afraid to admit they don’t have all the answers. Great thinkers aren’t afraid to say “I think” instead of “I know.”

“I can truly say that Kavya is the heart of our girls track and field team. She leads our team in a quiet way, always quick to volunteer to run an event if a teammate cannot. She is always a steady and consistent performer, a factor in every event she competes in. Her work ethic is second to none, and is a big reason why she is all-state in the triple jump.” – Neville Anderson, Head Coach, Varsity Track & Field

“Grant is new to our track and field team, furthermore, he signed up to join our distance squad. Grant has worked hard! He has embraced the teams ‘we can compete with anyone’s’ culture. Grant’s improvement in the 800M has been dramatic and truly reflects how hard he has worked. His performance is a contributing reason why our 4×800 relay is currently ranked second in Class A Private.” – Neville Anderson, Head Coach, Varsity Track & Field

1. A faculty member will give you a warning.

2. After the warning, that faculty member will infract you and you will serve detention. This will be communicated to your parents as well.

3. After you serve detention, if another infraction occurs, you, your advisor, and your parents will meet with Mrs. Zalac and there will be escalated consequences.
