The Mad Hatter on Strengths

By Chris Trout | March 23, 2008

In Katie's Blog, BBC reporter Katie Ledger refers to a conversation between Alice (in Wonderland) and the Mad Hatter that includes this great response when Alice explains, "Well, grown ups tell us to find out what we did wrong and never do it again."

The Mad Hatter responds, "That's odd! It seems to me that in order to find out about something, you have to study it. And, when you study it, you should become better at it. Why should you want to become better at something and then never do it again?" 

Think about it! Is this what you will do with young people (or staff or colleagues) today?
