Evidence: When students are given freedom to fidget and wiggle in their seats, they pay just as much attention—and generate more creative ideas.

Our highest loyalty doesn’t belong to people or parties. It belongs to principles.
If you wouldn’t accept it from the “other side,” you shouldn’t accept it from yours.
Integrity is upholding your values even when your own group violates them.

Our personalities describe us, but they don't define us. Our most important qualities are our values.
Personality traits are the tendencies we have. They reflect our nature and nurture.
Values are the principles we choose. They reveal our commitment and character.
