Everyone can learn something from someone. Steve Olson demonstrates this point very well with his latest post. In the article, he points out 10 things that he learned from his 4-year-old son. He finds some fresh point of views on life and how to handle tasks. I am pretty impressed by his kid, his observation and how to convert behavior cue to actual application:
- To use positive words
- To look for opportunity everywhere
- A new synonym for persistence
- To ask big questions
- To accept mistakes
- To pay attention to little details
- To stop complaining
- To strive for consistency
- How to build a maze with random items in the garage
- To experiment
A new synonym for persistence strikes and reminds me to persist on tasks that I found difficult. It is so smart that a 4-year-old kid can create a word to encourage himself to “keep trying even when it’s hard”.
