Day 181: It Does Not Work

Daily Blog Challenge Day 181/365

My basketball team drove me crazy with one phrase this season. "Coach, this play does not work." The reality if the matter was that they were not running it correctly.

How often do we dismiss ideas because we don't think they will work? Sometimes we may even try them and they still don't work. Is it the idea or is it how we are executing it?

This may be a simple difference, but it is a very important distinction. Is the idea bad or am I doing it wrong? I know I often say "that won't work in my class." 

How do you ensure that you stay open minded to new ideas and give them an honest chance?

Thank you for reading.
