What I've learned from my autistic brothers

The power of introverts & Listening to shame

Susan Cain: The power of introverts

"Solitude matters. And for some people it's the air that their breathe. There's zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas. In school we need to teach the student to work together for sure, but we also have to teach them to work on their own. Go to the wilderness, be like Budha, be your own revelation. We need the yin and yang from introvert and extrovert, balance.” (Susan Cain)

 Brené Brown:  Listening to shame

"Vulnerability is not a weakness. Vulnerability is our most accurate measurement of courage." (Brené Brown)

Zaini said traditional games teach children about life values, hardwork and sense of belonging. And traditional games taught wisdom, the importance of nature, & the essence of the game as part of educational. Had a chance to chat with him, very inspiring.
