I think that English is "slawesome."

Norms Process -- Notes - TED talk by Brene Brown

Courage, Shame, Vulnerability, Empathy, Forgiveness

"Vulnerability is not weakness; that thought is profoundly dangerous."
-- pure courage - emotional risk, purity, earnestness; the most accurate measure of courage.

"Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity, and change."
The most important opportunity, function, and role of a critic is to defend / be in the defense of the new. An informed audience with knowledge of what's come before has an opportunity to help refine and promote those chances and risks that innovators need to take to move their areas of life, art, etc. forward.

Lock and load - a good motto for a researcher?

Shame researcher that had the breakdown - I think we need to really see the TED talk in which it happened.
Talking of shame - All-importance is necessary in some roles and jobs -

TED is a failure conference - few are there that haven't failed time and again - important for students to know, since they watch so many of them now.

Shame is the force that works against accomplishment - since our personalities and identities are tied to the fear of it, it's probably one of the bigger hurdles of modern students -

Shame for women is brought about by conflicting expectations of what they're supposed to be - supposed to never let anyone "see you sweat" or know your struggles.

Men are more accomplishment-oriented - our first response is to take action, or reference what we've already done. It's a sort of defense mechanism against feeling personal shame.
