Is today truly the "Age of the New Thinker"? If today's and following generations are rethinking economics, retirement, travel, health care, then let's rethink learning. It is time to plan small snippet of time for daily learning. Think about what you could learn if:
...each Monday, you totally avoided your most significant vice (fast food, alcohol, lying), you would be on the path of self-control.
...each Tuesday, you deposited an equal amount of money as you spend on coke and coffee, you probably would not miss this small amount, and at the end of 365 days your collection container could conservatively hold $300. in savings. Drink water.
...each Wednesday, you read one news article outside your normal range of reading, you might have a wider prospective of the global war on terrorism or on local crime or humor.
...each Thursday, you engage in one social networking activity, this connection with youth can be very enriching and the savvy electronic engagement will keep you young.
...each Friday, you pick-up one or ten pieces of trash you walk past, you will soon walk in a cleaner area, learning (or teaching) the value of beauty.
...each Saturday, you learn and practice one point of civility, in your next interview your handshake or luncheon dining skills might win you that coveted position
...each Sunday, you listen carefully to one wise mentor and before long you will be the wise mentor.
It takes so very little to learn...to be a growing and rethinking person. In our rushed, trans global environment, you control so much more than you realize. Exercise your right to learn. Allow yourself the opportunity to be a true rethinker.
