“Often one inaccuracy becomes the seed of others.”

[#quoteoftheday💬] “Often one inaccuracy becomes the seed of others, and reproduces trouble as the work proceeds.” – Charles Hayward


💭 Charles Hayward was talking about work and skills here, yet I think this also applies to learning, relationships, missed “bids” for attention, work based politics. And definitely #teaching:


For example, when I teach Chinese to new learners - if I don’t teach all the details of the correct way to write and understand a particular character the very first time it appears in the curriculum, it creates surprisingly varied kinds of trouble for a student during the rest of their learning journey in Mandarin. That student was me in the past.


It’s why I appreciate teachers, managers, mentors who take the time to swiftly, gently spot and give feedback on any inaccuracies, in the spirit of nudging you forward, helping you grow.

(A single negative thing can ruin one’s day. In the same way, I often find a single positive thought can change it for the better. In this spirit, I make and share a daily #quotable for you to use, keep or simply ponder on. All images are copyright free and I have credited wherever possible.)


Enjoy. ✨
