Quote for Today
"We usually get what we anticipate"
Claude Bristol
Discussion about the Quote
When Steve showed me this quote, I was thinking about "if you can see it, then you can be it." If a person can see themselves become a doctor, then they can take the steps to get there.
In my life, I can give this example...

Quote for Today
"Great discoveries, lucky accidents and the prepared mind."
Discussion about the Quote
If you have been educated and if you know a lot, then when something unusual happens, you will be able to respond to it. Steve told me a story about how penicillin was discovered ... mold from an old sandwich had fallen in a bacteria experiment and killed the bacteria in the dish. Instead of throwing away the experiment, the scientist was prepared and made a discovery: penicillin.

Academic Activity: Steve showed me the following website tinyurl.com/tonywagner7skills
Thought for the day:In the new global economy, with many jobs being either automated or “off-shored,” what skills will students need to build successful careers? What skills will they need to be good citizens? Are these two education goals in conflict?
Phrase for the day:
Thought for the day:In the new global economy, with many jobs being either automated or “off-shored,” what skills will students need to build successful careers? What skills will they need to be good citizens? Are these two education goals in conflict?
To examine these questions, I conducted research beginning with conversations with several hundred business, nonprofit, philanthropic, and education leaders. With a clearer picture of the skills young people need, I then set out to learn whether U.S. schools are teaching and testing the skills that matter most. I observed classrooms in some of the nation’s most highly regarded suburban schools to find out whether our “best” was, in fact, good enough for our children’s
future. What I discovered on this journey may surprise you.
The Schooling Students Need
One of my first conversations was with Clay Parker, president of the Chemical Management Division of BOC Edwards—a company that, among other things, makes machines and supplies chemicals for the manufacture of microelectronics devices. He’s an engineer by training and the head of a technical business, so when I asked him about the skills he looks for when he hires young people, I was taken aback by his answer.
“First and foremost, I look for someone who asks good questions,” Parker responded. “We can teach them the technical stuff, but we can’t teach them how to ask good questions—how to think.”
“What other skills are you looking for?” I asked, expecting that he’d jump quickly to content expertise.
“I want people who can engage in good discussion—who can look me in the eye and have a give and take. All of our work is done in teams. You have to know how to work well with others. But you also have to know how to engage customers—to find out what their needs are. If you can’t engage others, then you won’t learn what you need to know.”
I initially doubted whether Parker’s views were representative of business leaders in general. But after interviewing leaders in settings from Apple to Unilever to the U.S. Army and reviewing the research on workplace skills, I came to understand that the world of work has changed profoundly.
Today’s students need to master seven survival skills to thrive in the new world of work. And these skills are the same ones that will enable students to become productive citizens who contribute to solving some of the most pressing issues we face in the 21st century.
