Reflections!

Melanie Curtin: Turning 30: 10 Things I Know Now About Getting Older

Reflection #8: One of the most effective and long-lasting ways to learn is to mimic a good role model.
This is somewhat of a lost art in our culture. We have a lot of books and a lot of words and spend a lot of time in our heads, but watching someone do something well -- like give a boss good feedback s/he can hear, run an effective, productive family meeting, have a healthy conflict with his/her partner -- is more valuable than all of that combined. I want more role models in my life. I want more mentors. I don't just want to grow up, I want to become wise.
