Affect Descartes was wrong Cannot have one without the other Affect is central and essential Positive encouragement

If you remember nothing else! We are the models, the mentors for teaching and learning and interacting with colleagues and patients. Our students will do as we do. “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Maya AngelouMaya Angelou ―
