- David Foster Wallace had an opinion on hip-hop that I actually found kinda dope. I wouldn’t highlight it otherwise. [NY Daily News]
- Maria Popova illustrates how Albert Einstein thought about creativity. I’m a geek for brain studies. [Brain Pickings]
- Damian Bariexca implores you to use a blog (or a website) as your resume, how to do it, and why. It’s pretty thorough. [Apace of Change]
- Renee Moore says we owe a great debt to those who paved the way to us as educators. Agreed wholeheartedly. [TeachMoore]
- Jim Dwyer says what most New Yorkers already knew for some time: Bloomberg is getting on everybody’s nerves. [New York Times]
Quotable:
“There is a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that … imitation is suicide … that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but though his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which residents in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried.”- Ralph Waldo Emerson
