Stop “I Cant-ing” and start trying.

When we fall into “I Can’ts” we lock ourselves into filling that as truth. I tried to call Jen on that in her comments[http://injenuity.com/archives/285]. If she says, “I can’t cook” then that’s cuts off effort to counter the assertion. She responds:

A Must-Read Science Teacher

Doyle is a science teacher whose writings about that subject are addictive. Half Steinbeck, half uncle you’d always wished for, the voice and perspective just do me right.

Do yourself a favor and check him out.[http://doyle-scienceteach.blogspot.com/]
