Quote of the Day, and a sore tooth

Stephen,

I adore your comments on the need of soulful endeavors for our children, and the meaning of advanced degrees.  Absolutely yes to both.  The self-esteem movement has been mind numbing for children, and, frankly, misses the point.  Self-esteem comes from being able to do things well. 

On the other hand, I don't mind looking ignorant in the context of learning and asking questions.  I will gladly humble myself over and over in the context of learning and growing and being reshaped.  I hope I can do that my whole life.  Where I don't want to look ignorant is in spouting things off like I'm an expert, and being completely wrong.  Although, I'm pretty sure I've been there a few times too.
