    a1 It is my understanding that hope in the Hebrew Scriptures implies expectancy as for a woman giving birth. #leadupchat
  • andyaddis Jan 12 @ 9:37 AM EST
    A1. For context, the concept of hope as expectation is ancient. A Hellenistic Greek thought, from the word ELPIZO: to look forward with confidence to that which is good and beneficial—‘to hope, to hope for, hope. #leadupchat

    Thanks, Paul! #leadupchat

  • tomstoner24 Jan 12 @ 9:37 AM EST
    A1 Wishes do not typically get acted upon. We need to put action behind the wish to create the hope. #leadupchat

      Q1: People use the word "hope" to mean "wish." What are the disadvantages of your hope merely being a wish? #leadupchat
  • PrincipalOgg Jan 12 @ 9:37 AM EST
    A1-You don’t take action if you wish for things to happen. It is merely chance if it does happen. #leadupchat
  • MrU_ishere Jan 12 @ 9:37 AM EST
    Wishing is passive. We are waiting for something to happen to/for us. Hope is ACTIVE. We have a dream of what this COULD BE and we are WORKING TOWARD that. #leadupchat.

    A1: “Wishful” hope has no plan or vision behind it. It’s ungrounded & unlikely to come to fruition. #leadupchat

      Q1: People use the word "hope" to mean "wish." What are the disadvantages of your hope merely being a wish? #leadupchat
  • latoyadixon5 Jan 12 @ 9:38 AM EST
    A1. A wish has a level of uncertainty within it. It lacks belief. A hope is a commitment and belief that the best is yet to come, that things WILL be better. #leadupchat
  • MonicaHousen Jan 12 @ 9:38 AM EST
    Even hope can be a curse. Hope can keep you hanging on, when maybe it would be better to turn to action. #leadupchat
  • PrincipalPaul - Moderator Jan 12 @ 9:38 AM EST
    Let's do it!!! #leadupchat
  • mjjohnson1216 Jan 12 @ 9:38 AM EST
    A1. Wishes come and go quickly. Much like blowing out the candles on a birthday cake - you make a wish and before the first slice is eaten your wish has faded from your memory. #LeadUpChat
  • cooper1503 Jan 12 @ 9:38 AM EST
    A1 Many time a wish implies waiting for something to happen to/for you instead of taking action to make something happen. #leadupchat
  • AcademicMindset Jan 12 @ 9:38 AM EST
    A1: A wish lacks action or accountability. It puts your desires in the control of others. Hope states your desires but puts yourself in charge of the outcome. #leadupchat
    In reply to @Leadupnow
  • PrincipalSmart Jan 12 @ 9:38 AM EST
    A1 Sometimes we set ourselves up for failure when we wish for things we can't have. If we can't make it happen then we may be expending energy on things we cannot control. #leadupchat

  • asbellprincipal Jan 12 @ 9:39 AM EST
    A1: The word wish or concept of wish indicates that whatever you wish for is just up to chance or destiny. It doesn't indicate or need action from the wisher! #leadupchat
  • ryanrismiller Jan 12 @ 9:39 AM EST
    A1: hopes or wishes don't necessarily have legs. It is noncommittal. It doesn't necessarily have action behind it. #leadupchat
  • marcihouseman Jan 12 @ 9:39 AM EST
    A1: Hope indicates you have a vision that you will make a reality—you will take action to make it happen. Wish could be interpreted as waiting around for someone else to make it happen. #leadupchat

      Q1: People use the word "hope" to mean "wish." What are the disadvantages of your hope merely being a wish? #leadupchat
  • heidiharris515 Jan 12 @ 9:39 AM EST
    A1 A wish points to luck. It’s iffy at best. It’s based on desire on its own. And if it relies on luck there isn’t anything you can do (or rest in) through the process. #leadupchat
  • walkchrysj Jan 12 @ 9:39 AM EST
    A1 Those who possess hope are more readily able to act upon this hope to bring the thing, the idea, the vision they have to fruition. Those who use the word wish are arbitrarily thinking something may or may not happen #leadupchat
    • Leadupnow Jan 12 @ 9:36 AM EST
      Q1: People use the word "hope" to mean "wish." What are the disadvantages of your hope merely being a wish? #leadupchat
  • PrincipalPaul - Moderator Jan 12 @ 9:39 AM EST
    A1: YES! Lacking belief and a degree of uncertainty....traps we must avoid if we are going to spark change. Sniff this out when working with teams and see how you can add confidence and certainty to the "hope." #leadupchat
    • latoyadixon5 Jan 12 @ 9:38 AM EST

  • tsschmidty - Moderator Jan 12 @ 9:39 AM EST
    A1: For some reason, I think of the Princess and the Frog...wishing is putting it in someone else’s hands to happen...”that ol’ star willl only take you part of the way...you need to pair it with some hard work of your own!” #leadupchat
  • CraigLCarson Jan 12 @ 9:40 AM EST
    A1 - hope & wish in terms of ed are not synonymous in my opinion. When we provide hope for S’s it means we are teaching where all S’s see the glimmer & have the visions of success now & for the future. Wish is too haphazard. Have to be purposeful when T’ing for hope. #leadupchat
  • whiteeducator Jan 12 @ 9:40 AM EST
    A1: A wish seems unattainable and like something that will happen by chance. When you hope something will work, you are more committed because planning and effort went into it! #leadupchat
  • PrincipalOgg Jan 12 @ 9:40 AM EST
    A1-A hope and a wish will always be a hope and a wish if there is no action. #leadupchat
  • mexusmx Jan 12 @ 9:40 AM EST
    A1: respectfully, I don’t see either word as grounded enough in a series of actions that will increase the chances of it becoming reality. #leadupchat
  • PrincipalRLA Jan 12 @ 9:40 AM EST
    A1 A wish is wanting something usually impossible and hope to me is something you want and can see in the future as long a you use it as a verb. #leadupchat
    In reply to @Leadupnow
  • Tech_Buddha Jan 12 @ 9:40 AM EST
    A1: A wish can imply that you have no ability or power to manifest its actualization! The downside to that is an external locus of control that can be paralyzing..... #leadupchat
  • andyaddis Jan 12 @ 9:40 AM EST
    A1. Saying I hope I lose weight while eating a donut, versus I hope I lose wight while on the treadmill... to quote the Princess Bride... I don't think that word means what you think it means. #leadupchat
  • marcihouseman Jan 12 @ 9:40 AM EST
    And once again we find that we think alike. 😊 Action being the key word. #leadupchat

    A1 It's putting your future, dreams, or goals, anywhere but in your own hands. #leadupchat
  • latoyadixon5 Jan 12 @ 9:40 AM EST
    A1. Hope-a belief that your behavior can change an outcome and that you have some measure of control outcomes via your actions Wish-a belief that there is nothing you can do to change an outcome: a dependence on luck #leadupchat
  • tikaee Jan 12 @ 9:41 AM EST
    Hello #leadupchat! My name is Tika, and I am a 2nd grade teacher and mentor from Las Vegas. Sorry for your tardiness.
  • DKriedeman Jan 12 @ 9:41 AM EST
    A1: A Strangely, a hope is more concrete than a wish. People will put action to make a hope happen. #leadupchat
  • curriculumblog Jan 12 @ 9:41 AM EST
    A1: When it comes to supporting students, districts need a plan. We can hope for more 3rd graders reading at grade level, but hope is not a strategy. #leadupchat
  • WASEMJEFF Jan 12 @ 9:41 AM EST
    A1: the biggest disadvantage is if your hope/wish, supported by ‘action’, would have been a powerful experience of learning for those you lead. #leadupchat
  • groverwelch Jan 12 @ 9:41 AM EST
    #leadupchat I think that wishes are so easily dismissed. We put so much emphasis on this or that, but when we hope by nature we ground in reality. We look at what is possible and then see futures that are attainable.
  • mjjohnson1216 Jan 12 @ 9:41 AM EST
    A1. Here is a cute blog post written on this topic. It even provides you with the opportunity to see if you understand the difference. https://t.co/ymyUgQT2k2 #LeadUpChat
  • PrincipalPaul - Moderator Jan 12 @ 9:41 AM EST
    A1: BINGO! Luck, the danger of it, is an important connection here. We must be the "house" and ensure the "odds" are in our favor. #leadupchat
    • heidiharris515 Jan 12 @ 9:39 AM EST
      A1 A wish points to luck. It’s iffy at best. It’s based on desire on its own. And if it relies on luck there isn’t anything you can do (or rest in) through the process. #leadupchat
  • andyaddis Jan 12 @ 9:42 AM EST
    True, but it's a matter of focus and intentionality. True hope breeds an atmosphere for change and compels to movement. A wish is never birthed into reality unless someone else does it. #leadupchat
    In reply to @mexusmx
  • MonicaHousen Jan 12 @ 9:42 AM EST
    Sounds like "hope" equates to "goal setting" for many. Are there distinctions between those? #leadupchat
  • walkchrysj Jan 12 @ 9:42 AM EST
    The manifesting its actualization is strong, Rayshell. Requires a continuous effort from the one who hopes to make these desires come true @Tech_Buddha #leadupchat
  • PrincipalPaul - Moderator Jan 12 @ 9:43 AM EST
    External Locus of Control....another important connection. Be the "house" and shift the odds in your favor through commitment and action. The "take" is ours when we take control. #leadupchat
    • Tech_Buddha Jan 12 @ 9:40 AM EST

    Indeed we do ;) #leadupchat
    In reply to @marcihouseman
  • andyaddis Jan 12 @ 9:44 AM EST
    I think hope is fueled by goal setting, but it is distinct from wishing in the arena of action. The difference between potential and kinetic energy. #leadupchat
    In reply to @MonicaHousen
  • tikaee Jan 12 @ 9:44 AM EST
    A1. A wish is something you might not have the steps to make happen. Hope might be your #oneword. If it is, you will have steps to live up to it. 😊 #leadupchat
  • JennSagendorf Jan 12 @ 9:44 AM EST
    A1b: Wish carries no action. We need to have hope, but remember that hope is not a strategy. #leadupchat

    A1. Hope - where the outcome is unknown .... interesting #LeadUpChat

    In reply to @andyaddis
  • Leadupnow Jan 12 @ 9:45 AM EST
    Q2: Hope is a confident expectation of success, not just a wish. If your expectation of a successful future has expectations for YOU in the present, what might they be? #leadupchat
  • latoyadixon5 Jan 12 @ 9:45 AM EST
    A1. Hope has been the bedrock of many monumental changes: Martin Luther King: “We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” President Obama: “The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something.” Hope is the precursor to change. #leadupchat
  • marcihouseman Jan 12 @ 9:45 AM EST
    Now this is great thinking! Being mindful of our time and energy is essential to good #leadership. Consider what is within our control. Consider the impact. Consider the feasibility. Act on those things that yield the greatest impact. #ChaseImpact #leadupchat
    • PrincipalSmart Jan 12 @ 9:38 AM EST
      A1 Sometimes we set ourselves up for failure when we wish for things we can't have. If we can't make it happen then we may be expending energy on things we cannot control. #leadupchat

    I think it’s about expectations. I connect hope to expected outcomes. Being “hopeful” is believing “it usually works out.” Hope May be more; “it doesn’t look like it will work out, yet I believe it will despite the circumstances.” #leadupchat

      A6 I will continue to move forward in hope - for my kids, my district, myself ... even when I don’t see evidence! I will do the next thing and the next until hope is fully realized! #leadupchat

    A6: I just ordered "The Multiplier Effect: Tapping the Genius Inside Our Schools" and have a few other things in the works to push myself professionally. #leadupchat

      Q6: Hope is a belief but success only becomes reality with action. What's your first action step toward your biggest hope, your confident expectation for success? #leadupchat
  • CraigLCarson Jan 12 @ 10:28 AM EST
    See the evidence, yet! You have to have hope it is coming. 😊 And, embrace a change if you decide it’s not working. #LeadUpChat

    BONUS Q: Who are three trusted teammates who can help you clearly identify when you are facing the right direction and can give you that push to take your first step? Examples for me: @Rantime @heidiharris515 @drneilgupta! #leadupchat

    I can agree with that. I know for me, Hope growing up meant ignoring what was in front of me. I had to believe in things I could not see. I had to commit to something that was not yet tangible. Hope, real hope, is very much rooted in faith. #leadupchat

    One of my former students is a linebacker for Clemson. His is a story of hope in the face of adversity. Love that kid and love watching him succeed! #leadupchat

    Something else I’m reflecting on; when being “hopeful” erases or marginalizes folx lived experiences. Hope recognizes, empathizes and shows compassion for the lived experiences of others. It has to. #leadupchat

    A6: First action is to begin to articulate the vision for the reality we hope to create and to begin identifying action steps and success criteria that will occur along the way. #leadupchat
