“In early childhood, children develop a set of symbols that 'stand for' things they see in the world around them... Children are happy with symbolic drawing until about the age of eight or nine... when children develop a passion for realism. Our schools do not provide drawing instruction. Children try on their own to discover the secrets of realistic drawing, but nearly always fail and, sadly, give up on trying.” WorldGivingTryingChildrenAgeSchoolPassionSecretFailingChildhoodGiving UpEightDrawingNineSymbolsRealisticInstructionRealismSymbolicEarly Childhood Author:Betty Edwards

“When I was 17, I made the decision to have a good attitude. I was a junior in high school; the coach said I was going to be the captain of my basketball team. I thought – that surprised me because I wasn’t the best player. John Thomas was better than me, and I was probably second or third best player. And I kept thinking, “Why am I going to be the captain?” I think everybody else was thinking that too. And the coach then answered, “The reason John is going to be the captain is he has the best attitude on the team. He encourages others, he believes we can win, he never gives up.”” ThinkingGivingBelieveMadeSaidReasonSchoolWinningDecisionAttitudePlayerTeamBasketballGiving UpHigh SchoolCoachesCaptainsNever Giving UpJuniorsBest PlayersBasketball TeamBest AttitudeGood Attitude Author:John C.
