Talent

One of Esperanza's 4 foundation pillars is Invitational Education.  Dr. William Purkey, the founder of Invitational Education, said this:

"You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like there's nobody listening, And live like it's heaven on earth."

This quote shared by J.B. Fanjul on my Facebook page complements the above quote.

Use Those Talents

Use the talents you possess - for the woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except for the best. ~Henry Van Dyke

Dance like no one is watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like no one is listening, Live like it's heaven on earth.-- Dr. William Purkey

These two quotes support Dr. Carol Dweck's mind-set concept.
