Time is a Sneaky Thing

So, spring break is in three weeks! Where did the time go – feels like just yesterday classes started. But really that was four weeks ago. If time flying by or sneaking by?

I say it sneaks by. For those of you who participate in the weekly polls you know my son just turned 20. Not a big deal for some of you as you are or have recently turned 20. Well, for me it is a big deal. It wasn’t that long ago he was only 2, then 5, one day he was 12 then next 14 and now 20. The time didn’t fly by it snuck by without warning.  As the past 20 years snuck by I enjoyed each and every moment. Make sure you enjoy your moments.

“Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.” Jim Rohn

Helpful Tools

Now you know what type of learner you are. Did you know there are different teaching styles? Some suggest there are about 20 different styles. The styles in the following chart are the most common.  Have any of your instructors fit perfectly into one teaching style or were they a blend of different types?

If You Touch an Object, You Want It More 

Not only are people more likely to buy something they've touched, but they're actually willing to pay more -- this is why, if the product comes in a box, the store will try to put a display model out that you can handle to your heart's content. Even if you can't actually gain any information about the usefulness of the product, it doesn't matter. Running your paws over an object makes you feel connected to it, and can even give you a false sense of ownership.
