The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man. — George Bernard Shaw, Maxims for Revolutionists
The longer we stay in one position or place the more reasonable we become and the more willing we are to adapt to or cope with our circumstances. Shaw’s maxim is a very good reminder that to truly innovative all of us involved in the process must be unreasonable and strive to adapt the learning environment to the needs of the learners.
