Imagine a world where every child masters empathy. Let’s do it!
“The ability to understand what someone is feeling”—that’s the textbook definition of empathy. But when put into practice, empathy means a whole lot more. It means the ability to grasp the many sides of today’s complex problems and the capacity to collaborate with others to solve them; it means being as good at listening to the ideas of others as articulating your own; it means being able to lead a team one day, and participate as a team member the next. In today’s rapidly changing world, everything that empathy means is critical to our success—at home, at school, and in the workplace.

David Kelley: How to build your creative confidence
Please don’t divide people into creatives versus practical people
Freelancers and small businesses are increasingly proving themselves 21st Century economic powerhouses. Their small sizes allow them to flow with the currents of technological and cultural change in a way their larger, corporate counterparts can’t. They are cost-effective because they can keep a small core staff, bringing on specialists depending on their needs.
But where do they work? Many find themselves too big or busy to work from home, or too small to afford their own office.
For these homeless freelancers, small businesses and entrepreneurs, co-working spaces provide a great option.
Autónomas y pequeñas empresas están demostrando cada vez más ser potencias económicas del Siglo 21. Sus pequeñas dimensiones permiten que fluyan de acuerdo a las corrientes del cambio tecnológico y cultural de forma en que sus contrapartes más grandes, las empresas no pueden hacerlo.
The Temporary Tattoo Project’ Makes Socially Responsible Tatt*
Lauren Sauma and Robyn Fukumoto combined forces with six creative tattoo artists and Flying Kites, a nonprofit organization dedicated to caring for the world’s most poor and vulnerable children, to help make a worthy cause fun. Each tattoo comes from the artists’ imagination of the children’s dreams, writings and favorite things; these tattoos are limited edition and will actually have a meaningful message rather than the ‘fierce’ dragon or petty butterfly imprints seen on tattoo-loving folks.
Flying Kites strives to give children more than the minimum. The organization continues to provide each underprivileged children with additional care that will allow them to succeed in life.
