Question & Thought and Questions for you on education for March 14th, 2016!
Good Monday Morning!
1. Question – What is the main feature which distinguishes a leader form a follower?
2. Thought – The brain of a human being may be compared to an electric battery in that it will become exhausted or run down, causing the owner to feel despondent, discouraged and lacking in “pep.” Who is so fortunate as never to have such a feeling? The human brain, when in this depleted condition, must be recharged, and the manner in which this is done is through contact with a more vital mind or minds. The great leaders understand the necessity of this “recharging” process, and moreover, they understand how to accomplish this result. THIS KNOWLEDGE IS THE MAIN FEATURE WHICH DISTINGUISHES A LEADER FROM A FOLLOWER!
“Men who are successful always seek the company of others who are successful. While men who are on the ragged side of life always seek the company of those who are in similar circumstances. ‘Misery loves company.'” (Laws of Success by Napoleon Hill)
3. Questions for you on education:
Very good questions.  The answers may be difficult to process.
So Who should determine the Curriculum to be used in the classroom?  The teacher? Principal? School Board? Local govt? State govt? Federal govt?  Should a student be able to progress from K thru 12 and emerge illiterate? Ignorant of American history? Math? Economics? Science?
 
If schools are funded by tax payers, should the tax payers have some metric demonstrating accountability of the school’s product–ie the student?
 
Teachers, are they: Professionals? Careerists? Opportunists? Baby Sitters?
 
If K – 12 were “for profit” businesses, how would schools change? How would your local school look differently? How would their product be different? What do you think ‘the administrator’s’ metric would be?
 
If you have ever relocated your family with school aged children, what did you look for in a school or school district? If you ever sent your children to private school, what was your consideration or driving force to do so?
 
We work hard at getting education ‘right’.  Why do we feel we continually miss the mark….

Question & Thought for January 8th, 2016!

Question & Thought for January 8th, 2016!
Good Friday Morning! One week over in 2016!
1. Question – What are the two ways of getting out of work?
2. Thought – There are two ways of getting out of that work. One way is to take but little interest in what you are doing, aiming merely to do enough with which to “get by.” Very soon you will find a way out, because the demand for your services will cease.
The other and better way is by making yourself so useful and efficient in what you are now doing that you will attract favorable attention of those who have the power to promote you into a more reasonable work that is more to your liking.
It is your privilege to take your choice as to which way you will proceed. (Laws of Success by Napoleon Hill)
“In his lecture on “Acres of Diamonds,” Russell Conwell tells us that we need not seek opportunity in the distance; that we may find it right where we stand! This is a truth well worth remembering!”
​No texting and driving! Stop it! Try – Smoothies in the morning & a diluted glass of apple cider vinegar as well​. Perhaps, read 20 minutes? I got books if you desire one. Which way will you proceed with the work you are to do?
rem – I had no knowledge that I had no knowledge.

Question & Thought for December 9th, 2015!!!

Question & Thought for December 9th, 2015!!!
Good Wednesday Morning!
1. Question – If you deem to be an accurate thinker, what should your motto be?
2. Thought – Many a man has gone down to defeat because, due to his prejudice and hatred, he underestimated the virtues of his enemies or competitors. The eyes of the accurate thinker see facts – not the delusions of prejudice, hate and envy.
An accurate thinker must be something of a good sportsman – in that he is fair enough (with himself at least) to look for virtues as well as faults in other people, for it is not without reason to suppose that all men have some of each of these qualities.
“I do not believe that I can afford to deceive others – I know I cannot afford to deceive myself!”
​This must be the motto of the ​accurate thinker. (Laws of Success by Napoleon Hill)
“No man has a chance to enjoy permanent success until he looks in the mirror for the real cause of all of his mistakes.” (Napoleon Hill)
