Somewhere Coach John Wooden says you should do two kind things each day, and do them anonymously.
If your job--provost, headmaster, teacher--is to design a program, make a schedule work, or navigate a class that moves people forward in life, teach them to do the above too, as best you can. And do the same yourself.
And make it fun to do, if at all possible.
The future we want? Surely it includes more kindness, less ego.
