Empathy Quotes.

“Learning is a result of listening, which in turn leads to even better listening and attentiveness to the other person. In other words, to learn from the child, we must have empathy, and empathy grows as we learn.”  - Alice Miller

“We don't set out to save the world; we set out to wonder how other people are doing and to reflect on how our actions affect other people's hearts.” -  Pema Chodron
                                           
 “Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding. ” - Mohandas K. Gandhi
                                                                                                                                 
 “So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.” - Jiddu Krishnamurti

empathy quotes

                                                            - Jiddu Krishnamurti

“It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be comfortable with others.”

Amalia from 2A3 shares her thoughts on empathy!

SKM leader, Darwin shares about wearing the sandwich boards for the morning greetings!

I feel very happy doing the morning greetings because I get to greet a lot of students. Some of my friends came to me and suddenly want to write on the post-its. I’m so touched when they are so forthcoming. I even walked around the school and greeted random students and teachers especially the principal & the Vice-Principal. I was shy because they came to me suddenly and asked about our SKM project. They wrote on the post its too! I appreciated this a lot and hope next Morning Greeting will be even better!

SKM leader shares his feelings about their sandwich board morning greetings!

I felt very happy to see other students expressing their  feelings on post its on our sandwich boards during our morning greetings. Having to see a lot of people in the school including teachers contributing in this project, it feels much easier carrying out this project as me and my team members have been having problems along the way at times during this project. I will be looking forward to greeting more of you all. :)
