Heard this in a cool TED talk clip. A very strong lesson and takeaway for me.
The speaker had observed children’s habits closely, and shared an anecdote.
In a drawing class, an otherwise uninterested-in-school 6-year-old was keenly drawing something. When the teacher went to the child and asked her what she was drawing, the girl replied, “I’m drawing God”.
To which the teacher said, “But no one knows how God looks like.”
Pat came the reply, “They will, in a minute!”
The takeaway?
Kids don’t care about being wrong. That’s why they learn so much in such a short time, like picking up new languages, without a care in the world of what others think!
