Quote of the Day - 03/31/2012

Litter the world in which you live with opportunities to learn. - Chip R. Bell in Managers as Mentors: Building Partnerships for Learning

~~~~~

This quote contains one of the few instances I’ve seen of ‘litter’ representing something positive. And maybe the negative aspects we sometimes associate with ‘litter’ carry into this context as exactly what we are after for ‘opportunities to learn’: 

  • Ubiquitous
  • Sometimes messy
  • Spontaneous
  • Varied
  • Attention getting
  • Recyclable/reusable
  • Trash (maybe still a negative…but it’s hard to tell with learning opportunities)
