The thing is, Punchinello was judging his value and self-worth by the words, opinions, and judgements of people around him. The fact is, Punchinello is like most people – walking around in shame, fearing the judgement of others, and never feeling good enough, talented enough, successful enough – doing everything to earn stars, and beating themselves up over the gray dots that they’ve been marked with. All day, the people in this village do their best to get stars from each other, and the people who cannot seem to perform well enough to get stars, walk around in shame. When they are impressed with someone, they put a star sticker on them, and when they are not impressed with someone, they put a gray dot on them. In the town where he lives, all of the people carry around boxes of star stickers and gray dot stickers. The book tells the story about a young man named Punchinello. One of my very favorite books – for people of ALL ages – is called “You Are Special” by Max Lucado. This week’s Growth Mindset classroom discussions were on the truth about how incredibly special and unique we all are.

It’s located at the Burnet Road food truck park, so it has a nice atmosphere to sit while enjoying your scoops. Plus, you can do half scoops to try multiple flavors.

Description for John Barleycorn: "Alcoholic Memoirs" (Oxford World's Classics) Paperback. Jack London, John Barleycorn: Alcoholic Memoirs. John notes that the belief in Operations Research methods was part of what made Robert McNamara think the war in Vietnam could be managed using metrics and scientific methodology. This is a discipline that does not bulk large in anyone's mind today, but it was the nanotech of its day, capable of solving any problem in principle. One of the enthusiams of this book is Operations Research, a formal science that emerged out the the Second World War. It was also a high point of the self-confidence of the West as a whole, and American liberalism in particular. That was the time when "liberal Catholic" meant something like Pope Francis, left-of-center politically, but wholly orthodox. This book is a fossil from that brief and peaceful period in the 1960s before the big cultural upheavals in 1968, which in this case really means something more like the 1950s for most Americans, but more stylish.
