THOUGHTFUL THURSDAYS - ALBERT EINSTEIN (ALLEGEDLY)

Although the author of the above comment might be in question, the sentiment of it is unquestionable for me. This statement largely attributed to Albert Einstein, has an authorship which has been widely disputed. And with good reason, Einstein hardly seemed like the type to cast everybody as a genius. Beyond that, I shared this because it speaks to me profoundly about the importance of recognizing the inherent value in others. And of recognizing that differences are not deficiencies. We all have our own unique configuration of gifts, talents, skills and abilities to share with the world. So often I find that we create rubrics to measure value that tend to minimize the contributions of others. I just wanted to take the time to remind myself not to. And in doing so, I figured that I might remind you too. Love you all!
