"Training can lead to specific kinds of growth or progress. If we do sit-ups over time, we get stronger; there's nothing especially mysterious about the process. Regular practice demands and develops spirit and discipline."
-Dan Millman
"Your real goal this morning, numbers aside, is to engage intensity at the level of physical and psychological discomfort long enough to elicit a potent training response while, at the same time, practicing correct form sufficient to stimulate the kind of motor learning that creates correct, natural, useful and unconscious movement patterns.
-John Tuitele, StrengthDoc.com
The greatest discovery any outsider could make about Camden is it's overriding response to failure: If it didn’t work last year, do it AGAIN this year (and if possible do it MORE).
Every year they pass more laws, hire more police, build more prisons, and sentence more offenders for longer periods-all without moving one inch closer to “ending” crime. If it didn’t work last year or the year before that or the year before that or the year before that, but you can be sure we’ll try it again this year, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that it won’t work this year either.
Every year they spend more money on schools, hoping to “fix” whatever’s wrong with them, and every year the schools remain stubbornly unfixed. Spending money didn’t work last year or the year before that or the year before that, but you can be sure we’ll try it again this year, knowing beyond shadow of a doubt that it won’t work this year either.
Every year they try to make the criminals go away, and every year they remain with us. We couldn’t shoehorn these criminals back into the “the mainstream” last year or the year before that or the year before that or the year before that, but you can be sure we’ll try it again this year, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that it won’t work this year either.
Maybe its time to TRY something DIFFERENT.
Afterall, IF Camden is saved, it will not be saved by old minds with new programs but by new minds with no programs at all.
Much of my inspiration comes from Daniel Quinn in "Ishmael."
Steve - Great to meet you at the affiliate gathering a few weeks back. Mad respect for what you do @ Steve's Club. JT
