27 tips for better learning and well being

[responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Play”]
 

  1. Memorize at least one thing everyday. This will  make your brain sharp and your memory functioning. In this manner you will have a huge library of quotes to bust out at any moment: poetry, sayings and philosophies are your best options.
  2. Try to reduce your attachment to possessions. Individuals with heavy-set to material desires will have trouble when their things are taken away from them or lost, as in the end things begin owning you, not the other way around. When you become a person of minimal needs, you will be more content.
  3. Develop an endless curiosity about things you love. Become “an explorer” and view the world as your “own planet”.

7 steps in selecting continuing education

Adults strive their education to be relevant to their needs. What they are learning must be further used at their work, increase their values or increase other responsibilities.

When they see the relevancy in the learning, adults want to create goals for their education. The desire to see the path that leads from the beginning to the end of a course, or even a whole curriculum is essential.

Each step of this path has to make its value evident: why is it important, how it will help them personally, or work, and further on – how it will help improve their life.

Hyperactive child or else?

[responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Play”]

I don not think that there is anyone in that has not taken, does not take or will not take a medication for something. Regardless whether it is high blood pressure, diabetes, prostate problems, thyroid dysfunction, ulcers, flue, cold, or depression just to name a few. Not to mention that medication is something that is needed by many, just to stay alive. Preventive medicine and post-preventive medicines are part of this group.

Children have always needed medications for childhood illness and some childhood diseases, at larger or at smaller scale. Only within the last 20 years, we have seen school aged children medicated with psychotropic drugs sometimes even as early as preschool.
