Dạy con khiêm tốn
và ham hiểu biết...
-----
trích dẫn hôm nay… is from page 249 of the late Hans Rosling’s deeply insightful 2018 book, Factfulness:
Most important of all, we should be teaching our children humility (khiêm tốn, nhún nhường) and curiosity (tính tò mò, ham hiểu biết).
Being humble, here, means being aware of how difficult your instincts can make it to get the facts right. It means being realistic about the extent of your knowledge. It means being happy to say “I don’t know.”
DBx: Indeed.
Unfortunately, in the world today, humility is more scarce than flying aardvarks (lợn đất), while arrogance is superabundant (quá thừa thãi).

I'm still struck by that phrase. I had the man well and it was true: he went through his family and professional, academic life with a constant sense of wonder. It's something I aspire to, though it's difficult for me to maintain.
