William Crain – Noted psychology professor, “You simulate mental development by increasing curiosity and powers of observation.” Unfortunately because learning and change are synonymous some believe change requires trying to fix poor outcomes, or trying to “get it right.” But studies show that both these approaches to learning actually slows down progress. Fixing isn’t learning, and trying to get it right creates the kind of stress that fragments progress.
