What if... Curiosity / Generosity / Possibility?

"School taught us to answer a simple question, 'will this be on the test?' If the answer is no, we’ve got no time for it. [...]

"What if each of us were motivated by curiosity instead? Or generosity? Perhaps we could learn to see possibility instead of risk. What if we took and finished online classes because we could, not because there are assignments, tests and a certificate?"

--Seth Godin, "What motivates you to take action?" Feb 2 2018

Normally we share a "what if" scenario for our Wednesday post. These are not suggestions as much as provocations.

We're sitting on several great what if's, so this week we're running three in a row.

If you have a "what if" scenario you would like to share, just send an email (and indicate whether you would like it attributed it to you).
