"So if people actually get A-B-B-F most of the time, people, parents and teachers will spend most time onthe F. They will actually ignore the brilliance that you have. "The As? Forget it, don't focus on that. Focus on what is bad about you." So as parents, we focus on what's bad. As teachers we focus on what's bad. And then when we go into the working world, our managers focus on what? What you're good at, or most of the time what you're bad at? Most of the time, they will focus on AFIs, which is Areas For Improvement, and it's kind of bad. So we have a fixation for helping people grow by trying to fix them. So when we change that, and that's why it's difficult to have that paradigm shift, instead of focusing on what is bad about people, can we start focusing on what is good? Because the best people out there actually do that. So how do we actually change that mindset, and start focusing on the great, rather than trying to put in what's not there?" - Jason Ho
