to stay within what they know
to innovate and improve,
to execute and minimize mistakes?
şi să minimizăm greşeli?

Sau să facem cursuri online.
and perform as we're expected,
după aşteptări,
we could do better next time,
face mai bine,
and adjustment is a learning zone.

by sharing what we want to get better at,
ce vrem să îmbunătățim,
about what we don't know,
and by sharing our mistakes
can feel safe to do the same.
să facă la fel.

modeling ongoing learning.
our lives doing, doing, doing,
facem, facem,
pentru a-l optimiza?
