The world according to me....

Sometimes, it's the little things that make a big impression. Last year, I helped run a hands-on necropsy session with some kids from a nearby nature camp. It was fun and great to be around younger people who were interested in nature and biology. I had forgotten about it until I was reorganizing my office and found this sheet of "Thank You" notes from the kids. Even now, it reminds me how important it is that we all give (and receive) positive reinforcement, even if it is simply to say "Thanks." After all, it is all too easy to give negative criticism while apparently more difficult to provide positive and constructive comments.
