This video reminds me of the influence we can have when we choose to act consistently in a way that serves the world. Others get pissed off. They want to bring us down with them. Their playing small wants to keep us from playing big. School Portrait (2011) from Michael Berliner on Vimeo. It’s easy …

What If I Was Wrong?
Consider for a minute that the world, and humanity, had a right way of operating. I ask you to consider this because we currently don’t live in that world.

These Are My Kids!!
Ok, they’re not ACTUALLY my kids. If there was a way to put videos on my vision board of my life in 10 years, I would put this video on it though! Jimmy Kimmel asked parents to play a trick on their kids after Halloween – telling them they ate all the candy they collected …
