3. I’ve taken on a different challenge – OLWx12 – one per month! Choosing this month’s led to a surprise – or maybe it came from a surprise? Either way, I was reminded last night that words can make a difference… Just ask https://persistenceandpedagogy.com/2021/01/05/ask/

24. It’s great to be sincere, but we need to have self-confidence also. Years ago, I discovered the Neo-Confucian concept, “Spontaneity is conforming to pattern-principle (tzu-jan chi li).” This is basically synonymous with self-confidence being the goal of sincerity. You don’t have to be the same as everyone else to do well, either in the job world or social world.
