I support the Shministim and their right to peacefully object to military service. I call for the release of those teenagers who have been jailed for their principled refusal to serve in an army which occupies the Palestinian Territories. The imprisonment of these conscientious objectors is a violation of their human rights and contrary to International Law.
I am inspired by these caring students and their counterparts in Palestine, whose nonviolent resistance to the Occupation points the way to a just peace and security for all people in the region. They are our best hope for the future. I urge you to heed them, and not punish them.

Multiple intelligences
"Durante este nosso tempo, os estudantes virão à escola com uma imagem do seu cérebro, uma ressonância magnética funcional, e com um chip do gene com o seu genoma próprio e único, e dirão aos professores: 'ensine-me de uma maneira que eu possa aprender'. E se o professor não for capaz de entender a imagem do cérebro ou o chip do gene, a educação passará a ser uma especialidade médica."
Howard Gardner
Diferenças de mentalidade
"Outlier" is a scientific term to describe things or phenomena that lie outside normal experience. In the summer, in Paris, we expect most days to be somewhere between warm and very hot. But imagine if you had a day in the middle of August where the temperature fell below freezing. That day would be outlier. And while we have a very good understanding of why summer days in Paris are warm or hot, we know a good deal less about why a summer day in Paris might be freezing cold. In this book I'm interested in people who are outliers—in men and women who, for one reason or another, are so accomplished and so extraordinary and so outside of ordinary experience that they are as puzzling to the rest of us as a cold day in August."

O que fazer com adultos sobredotados?
Despite the enormous diversity within the gifted population, the goal of professional work should always be the same: for the gifted adults to re-encounter, explore and value the gifted self and allow it to grow in its own unique way. It is the professional's job to provide whatever each gifted individual needs in order for this to happen. Working with gifted adults ideally requires specialised theoretical knowledge, intellectual flexibility, emotional strength, spiritual development, high levels of sensitivity and empathy, a love of spirited discussion and above all, a great sense of humour. Professionals working with gifted adults strive for this ideal even though they will never attain it and so they continue to learn."

Amor próprio
"Partilhavam longos passeios pelo parque e uma assinatura na ópera. Ela apaixonou-se. Ele [o biólogo] não. Quando o biólogo começou a ignorá-la — a relação deles estava a provocar os habituais boatos vitorianos — Eliot escreveu-lhe uma série de cartas de amor melodramáticas e, no entanto, assustadoramente honestas. Suplicava a sua "misericórdia e amor": "Quero saber se me pode garantir que não me esquecerá, que estará ao meu lado sempre e o tempo que puder e que compartilhará os seus pensamentos e sentimentos comigo. Se se afeiçoar a outra pessoa eu morrerei, mas até esse dia, se o tivesse a meu lado, poderia reunir coragem para trabalhar e fazer alguma coisa da minha vida." Apesar das confissões de vulnerabilidade, a carta termina orgulhosamente com um reconhecimento do seu próprio valor: "Suponho que nenhuma mulher alguma vez escreveu uma carta como esta — mas não tenho vergonha dela, porque tenho consciência de que, à luz da razão e da verdadeira cultura, sou digna do seu respeito e afeição.""

ainda os "gifted"
"Gifted people often grow up with a pervasive sense of being considered an extremist. [...] The criticisms they face often are leveled not at their performance but at their personhood."

INSULTED
"You are ugly"
I know,
I've been told this.
"You are silly"
I know,
I have realized this.
"You look like an alien"
I know,
this has been pointed out to me.
"You have big eyes"
I know,
I have looked in the mirror.
"You can't be a pilot,
you are not smart enough"
It is possible,
I have considered this.
With every insult
you invent,
it is strange,
but it's true.
You point out
my many failings
and help me to improve.
As you highlight
my many
weaknesses,
you also highlight
my strengths.
My ugliness
leads to my kind
personality.
My silliness
brings laughter
to the world.
My resemblance to
movie aliens
only highlights
my intelligence.
My big eyes
portray my feelings
and widen my view.
I may not make it
as a pilot,
but I could be.
You see,
every insult
you invent
gives me a view
into your mind.
Although I have
many problems,
I feel sorry for you.
Why, oh why
do I feel sorry for you?
Because your mind
cannot break free.
The wall of insults
you build
limits your mind
of feelings.
So, soon,
if you don't stop,
you'll turn inhuman,
and have the biggest
problem of all:
Loneliness.
Think about it!
