La concepción de una idea sigue un mismo proceso sin
importar que la idea salve a la humanidad, a un país o a uno mismo. Sigue un
mismo proceso si beneficia a niños, jóvenes, adultos, familias o empresas. Sigue un mismo proceso aunque sea acerca de fútbol, cocina, transporte
o educación.
De hecho una idea, cualquier idea, comienza con el
encendido de una chispa de inspiración y deseo que crece desde un lugar interno
(la cabeza y el corazón) hacia un lugar externo (las posibilidades en la vida
real). Antes de suceder, la idea es el susurro de un plan. Una vez que sucede comienza
a crecer, a tomar una forma más definida y toma un nombre – el que es
compartido en palabras secretas entre los que la verán florecer.
Muchas veces las ideas son algo que crece con la persona, sin que él o ella se
dé cuenta que hay una idea gestándose en su cabeza. Hasta que un día, la idea
se manifiesta como si se hubiese estado escondiendo en el subconsciente y hubiese
decidido que era tiempo de ser vista y considerada. Esto fue lo que pasó con mi
idea.
Mi idea se encendió hace muchos, muchos años.
Pudo haber sido en 1998 cuando veía a mi equipo de docentes trabajar en sus aulas y trabajaba para apoyarlos y enriquecer su tarea diaria de amor.
Algunos pensarán que fue en 1992, cuando estudié
en la Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA), comenzando mi carrera en psicología al
haber terminado mi carrera en educación.
No importa cuando, mi idea apareció
en mi corazón antes de haberse cristalizado en mi cabeza.
Brillando en su corazón siempre habrá:
pasión…
liderazgo…
apoyo…
inspiración…
responsabilidad...
honestidad...
aprendizaje…
trabajo…
enseñanza…
creatividad…
colaboración…
… y sinergia.
Que el camino lleve a la grandeza.

The
conception of an idea follows the same process whether the idea could save
humanity, a country, a home or oneself. It follows the same process whether it
benefits children, youth, adults, families, or entire corporations. It follows
the same process whether it is about soccer, cuisine, transportation or
education.
In fact an idea, any idea, starts with the ignition of a spark of inspiration
and desire that grows from an internal realm (of the head and the heart) to an
external realm (the possibilities of real life). Before that happens, the idea
is but a mere whisper of a thought. After it does, the idea starts to grow,
take a more definitive shape, and it usually acquires a name - which is shared in
soft secretive words among those that will slowly watch it blossom.
Many times ideas are something that grows with the person, without him or her
ever knowing that there is an idea brewing in their minds. Until one day, when the
idea makes itself evident as if it had been sneaking around the subconscious
mind and it judged that it was time to be seen and acknowledged. This was the
case with my idea.
My idea sparked many, many years ago. Perhaps in 2002 when I created the Professional Development Academy and
dreamed of inspiring educators, administrators, and business leaders.
It could have been in 1998 when I saw my teaching staff work in the classrooms and I
worked to support them and enrich their daily labor of love. Maybe in 1995 when, from the George Washington (Mount Vernon
College then) and Georgetown universities, I used to dream of creating organizations
that could make a difference.
Some might think that it was in 1992 when I was at the University of
Buenos Aires (UBA), starting my career as a psychologist after having finished my
career in education. Although others might assume that it was even before that, when as a teacher I
watched my 18 two year olds work in my classroom and envisioned a better place
for them as learners, a better place for me as their educator, and a better
school for all of us.
Regardless of when it did, my idea sparked into existence in
my heart before it appeared in my head.
Shining
brightly at its heart there will always be:
passion...
leadership...
support...
inspiration...
responsibility...
honesty...
learning...
hard work...
teaching...
creativity...
collaboration...
…and
synergy.
May the journey lead to greatness.
