Want to Read $ 12.99"That word, which has an almost entirely pejorative meaning today as a hopelessly superficial dabbler, is derived from the Italian dilettare, which means “to delight."-Tom Vanderbilt, Beginners: The Joy and Transformative Power of Lifelong Learning
"A gulf was opening. Unless you were a professional, you were a mere dilettante or an "amateur." And what did this loaded word originally signify? "To love," derived from the French aimer. With the increasing specialization of knowledge and professionalization of everyday life, suddenly being delighted by something, or loving something, was seen as vaguely disreputable."-Tom Vanderbilt, Beginners: The Joy and Transformative Power of Lifelong Learning
"Children, in a very real sense, have beginners’ minds, open to wider possibilities. They see the world with fresher eyes, are less burdened with preconception and past experience, and are less guided by what they know to be true. They are more likely to pick up details that adults might discard as irrelevant. Because they’re less concerned with being wrong or looking foolish, children often ask questions that adults won’t ask."-Tom Vanderbilt, Beginners: The Joy and Transformative Power of Lifelong Learning
