It's the 4% things!

I worked in Las Vegas, Nevada with a few people from New York. Yes, for me it was obvious they were from New York by their accent and mannerisms. It was like they had just come here from New York, it was so cultural! Then I found out they had lived in Las Vegas for over 20 years, almost thirty years. The were not Nevadans, they were New Yorkers and that was that. A bad guy and a good guy were talking (on TV). The bad guy tells the good guy, he is just like him. He says you have a gun, I have a...

Habits seem to repetitive and the same.

Habits seem so repetitive and the same. Boring with nothing new and gratifying. We, creatures of habit, is this our lot in life? ….. For many, it is and the only solution is to escape. …. But what if you had a habit of being disgruntled with life. That’s right, you were bored with life, disgruntled and habitually had the thought, life should be better than this. So you complained and you accidentally found, in this complaining, some excitement and newness. This can happen to kids as they...

Kidnapped!

Your son is kidnapped when he is one year old. They find your son being held captive in a room, not part of normal society. Your son is 7 years old and he calls his kidnapper “daddy”. His kidnapper has fed him, clothed, sheltered him …. and cared for him since he was one year old. He knows nothing different than this guy and calls his kidnapper “daddy”. Can you believe that? (as you might imagine) It will be a while before he calls you “Mom” or “Dad”? Will it take a while...

Talented?!?!

What if kids had to make their own learning fun and exciting? I mean, what if they had to make it so they really liked learning, whatever you put in front of them. Let’s even go further and say it was their job to find a project, gym or means to practice and perfect the learning. What if your students were skilled, like you, making learning fun and exciting. They were great about creating worksheets, projects, or finding some gym to practice and perfect the learning? The recent research is...

What "YOU" is the best "You can Be!???"

Who are you? Let’s pretend you are going on a diet to lose weight and become thin. Are you a thin person? A thin person doesn’t go on a diet to lose weight, do they? You don’t even know what this thin person does, thinks or feels, do you? How do you think, thin people think about food? … is food really all that important to them? Do they think about it much? Do you think a thin person would want to celebrate a success by going out and eating? Is that how a thin person acts, thinks and...

Reading is a nice Habit Machine

I have a pretty good reading machine. I read pretty fast and have somewhat good comprehension. How about you? How were you trained to read? Me, it started way back in first grade, I’m sure. I don’t really remember. I just don’t remember way back then. My wife does. My earliest recollection in readings was around 4th grade. I first remember my teacher reading stories to us in class after lunch. They were great. Then we ordered these books and when these bright shiny books got in, I started...
