Sheena Iyengar Zitate

In America we tell our parents to bring their child home and put him or her in a crib; as they get older, children sleep in they own room not in Mom and Dad's room. What are we training them for? It's independence, because that's what being empowered is all about.

In Amerika fordern wir unsere Eltern auf, ihr Kind nach Hause zu bringen und es in eine Wiege zu legen. Wenn sie älter werden, schlafen die Kinder in ihrem eigenen Zimmer, nicht im Zimmer von Mama und Papa. Wofür trainieren wir sie? Es ist Unabhängigkeit, denn darum geht es bei der Ermächtigung.

Despite the efforts of some parents, children still tend to act out the traditional sex roles of our culture. The child's peer group may have more of an influence over this than the parents.

The idea of being able to serve as an example, based upon how to process, how to think, how to realize our own dreams, we can pass that down to our children.

And then, all of a sudden, you're like, all that's great and fun, but Arthur Miller's in my dressing room. This is the third night he's been here and he sits in my dressing room for an hour after each show, and talks to me for an hour. So I'm pretty spoiled right now.

Now things have changed for the better. Our reforms end seniority and tenure so we can hire and fire based on merit and pay based on performance. That means we can put the best and the brightest in our classrooms - and we can keep them there.
