“Those whose primary concern is to destroy others are at the lowest level of development. Those who are only interested in their own satisfaction are farther along. Those who both do things for their own satisfaction and the satisfaction of others are even father along.

“If development was measured not by gross national product, but a society's success in meeting the basic needs of its people, Vietnam would have been a model. That was its real "threat." From the defeat of the French at Dien Bien Phu in 1954 to 1972, primary and secondary school enrollment in the North increased sevenfold, from 700,000 to almost five million.

“At each stage of development the child needs different resources from the family. During the first year, a variety of experience and the availability of the parents for attachment are primary. During the second and third years, stimulation of language development is critical. During the years prior to school entrance, information that persuades children they are loved becomes critical, and during the school years it is important for children to believe that they can succeed at the tasks they want to master.” WantNeedsYearsFirstsBelieveChildrenImportantDifferentSchoolLanguageParentStageInformationMastersDevelopmentSucceedResourcesTasksThirdsCriticalVarietyPrimariesAttachmentEntrancesStimulationAvailabilitySchool YearsStages Of DevelopmentLanguage Development Author:Jerome Kagan
“Computer and video games represent one of the most important new media developments of this generation. Unlike many other forms of entertainment they offer players the opportunity to explore, be creative, learn through interaction and express themselves to others. It is vitally important that we protect and nurture this new art form so that it can reach its full potential. Like most new forms of artistic expression that have come before (music, novels, movies), the primary critics of video games are the people that do not play them.” PeopleArtImportantPlayFormOpportunityGamesNovelCreativePlayerGenerationsMediaExpressionDevelopmentOffersProtectComputerCriticsEntertainmentVideoArtisticPrimariesInteractionNurtureBe CreativeNurturingThis GenerationFull PotentialArtistic ExpressionNew Media Author:Will Wright

“Jung said there are four archetypes adults go through, and these archetypes are reflected in the development of my work. The first archetype is the archetype of the athlete, reflecting the time in our adult life when our primary emphasis is on our body - what it looks like, how beautiful it is, how strong it is, and so on. We identify ourselves with our body. We are our body. Growing adults next move to what Jung called the archetype of the warrior.

“In Burma, we need to improve education in the country - not only primary education, but secondary and tertiary education. Our education system is very very bad.
