-Every conceivable aspect of human functioning are all dependent upon neurons, each of which has a specific function.
-Mirror neurons have been identified as being responsible for imitation learning.
-When we observe somebody behaving in a particular way, our mirror neurons begin setting up patterns of reactivity that ensure we will mirror, mimic or imitate what our senses are taking in.
-When neurons in the brain are not used, if they don't fire off, not connected to other neurons, they die off, on great numbers, in the millions. Research shows that experiences help our neurons to fire and rewire in new adaptive and resilient ways.
-To the extent that we are teachers who inspire, students will continue to grow the neuronal pathways of living the Human Values they observe in us, each time they recall something we did or said, or if they imagine themselves emulating our good character.
-Fill the heart with Love, and distribute that Love to all. Love grows with every gift of Love.
-Your thoughts, words and deeds will shape others, and theirs will shape you.
-Your heart is inherently filled with Love. Every cell in the human body is filled with Love. It is this micro-cosmic Love that fills the entire Cosmos.
-The more we learn, the easier is to learn.
-A teaching style that is only concerned with the curriculum content, without any passion and enthusiasm for the subject, and lacking any depth and quality of relationship with the students, will be inhibiting students' potential for learning and recall.
-Although perseverance can be uncomfortable at first, students need to know that pushing on is also a skill to be developed and that, each time we try once more, it gets easier to persevere.
