@Usha: I think we all scrutinize morality each and every day and judge people per our own criteria

@Tom: Cannot agree enough with you Tom, Teachers have so much influence and power in developing our mindsets. What we learn at that tender age is strongly embedded within us for the rest of our lives.

Your story reminds me of the Harry Chapin song — “Flowers are Red” (one of my all-time favorites). While the quality of our educators is not the focus of your post, it made me reflect on a few of the really positive teachers that my children have had growing up (and the rest).

Thanks for suggesting ‘looking for the second best idea’. I often throw this out to my management team to remind them to ‘be curious, ask questions’ when working with staff members and clients. Considering other alternatives or view points almost always adds to the quality of the final solution.

Great post.

Thanks for the kind words Daphne

The story really made me realize that “Right” and “Wrong” are always subjective things. We should always have an open mind and try to see beyond the conventional beliefs.

Hey Tehseen,

This is a great post! You write very well. I love the story of the little girl and how the sky looked to her in the morning. Good wake-up call for us adults.
