March 17, 2011 by George Canciani · Leave a Comment
Great creative production.
“TMB (Thai Military Bank) have launched a new brand vision “Make THE Difference” by making a film to inspire people to start thinking differently.
1986 a football team that lived on a little island in the south of Thailand called “Koh Panyee”. It’s a floating village in the middle of the sea that has not an inch of soil. The kids here loved to watch football but had nowhere to play or practice. But they didn’t let that stop them. They challenged the norm and have become a great inspiration for new generations on the island.”

What Children Really Get Out of a Montessori Education
February 22, 2011 by George Canciani · Leave a Comment
This is a talk by Montessori Foundation President, Tim Seldin, to Montessori educators on the outcomes of a Montessori education that we typically see in children by age twelve.
A system of true values with long term benefits.
“Montessori schools are independent and nonsectarian. The spirituality that I mention has to do with one’s sense that we are part of the web of life, that the Earth is part the cosmos, and that we are all part of the human family. We seek to inspire a sense of wonder, global understanding, a tradition of giving back to our communities through service, and a sense of personal integrity and peace.” Tim Seldin

Enlightened dramatized perspective on how the English language is communicated around the world from regional cultural filters. Each version has a specific character shaped by its social sphere of influence. Cultural form is the message.
The focus is on the accent. Some of the content in the video may seem offensive, but it’s simply improvised street language to convey the accent.

“People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it.” For example, Apple starts with why it does what it does, progresses through how it’s different, and then talks about what it offers.
