Craving Desires |
''O que é bonito me encanta, mas o que é sincero me fascina.'' “Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun, more last than star…” — E.E. Cummings |

Notes"Nowadays, we lavish praise on our children. Praise, self-confidence and academic performance, it is commonly believed, rise and fall together. But current research suggests otherwise — over the past decade, a number of studies on self-esteem have come to the conclusion that praising a child as ‘clever’ may not help her at school. In fact, it might cause her to under-perform. Often a child will react to praise by quitting — why make a new drawing if you have already made ‘the best’? Or a child may simply repeat the same work — why draw something new, or in a new way, if the old way always gets applause?"The science of why instilling admiration for hard work rather than raw talent is the key to fostering a healthy relationship with achievement and cultivating a well-adjusted mind.

Pretty medieval manuscript of the day is a leaf from a lovely fifteenth century Franciscan breviary. I love the border! I think the initial shows the Veronica veil.

Notes"If you see that some aspect of your society is bad, and you want to improve it, there is only one way to do so: you have to improve people. And in order to improve people, you begin with only one thing: you can become better yourself."Leo Tolstoy (via explore-blog)
