" To survive and flourish in such a world, you will need a lot of mental flexibility and great reserves of emotional balance. You will have to repeatedly let go of some of what you know best, and learn to feel at home with the unknown.

Teachers themselves usually lack the mental flexibility that the twenty-first century demands, since they themselves are the product of the old educational system. "
