How Do You Grow as a Person?
Personal growth is a continuous process of understanding and developing oneself in order to achieve one’s fullest potential. It involves improving self-awareness, developing talents, enhancing quality of life, and contributing to the realization of dreams and aspirations. Unlike the physical growth that happens almost automatically, personal growth is a deliberate, intentional journey that requires effort, reflection, and persistence.

What Does the Conductor Actually Do in an Orchestra?
The conductor is like the director of a movie. The actors technically do all of the work. They each have their own lines just like each musician has their part to play. Very often though, they are focused only on their part. And as performers, if left to their own devices they would probably try to out-perform the people around them. The conductor keeps that in check. It’s his or her job to make the whole production enjoyable, not just the individual performances.

Beyond Reporting: Teaching Children to Stand Strong Against Bullying
After about a year of dealing with it for my son, we decided to go scorched earth. Every single time an incident happened we would escalate it. Teacher, vice principal, principal, controller, school board trustees.

Echo Chambers and Confirmation Bias: Trapped in a World of Yes-Men
Imagine a world where you only hear things that agree with your existing beliefs. No dissenting voices, no uncomfortable truths, just a constant stream of reaffirmation.
This is the allure of the echo chamber, a space where information is filtered to reinforce a specific point of view.
While comfortable, echo chambers pose a significant threat: confirmation bias, the tendency to favor information that confirms our existing beliefs while dismissing anything that contradicts them.
