I am known as a relentless optimist, and this post struck a chord. I have much more to say on this topic, and would love to talk to y'all about it. Stay tuned. (PS. I graduated from Berkeley with a BA in Sociology, so this also plucked a heartstring.)

Good food for thought (she says while eating lunch). That looks like a really interesting site that I want to bookmark for when later.
The part about praise was interesting and I've been mulling over a related post for some time. I have two academically talented children and we try to drill into them that hard work will get them farther in life than their inborn smarts. It's a hard sell, though.
