What matters now?

Sometimes - perhaps too often - we dedicate lots of energy and concern to incidents in our lives that don't really matter.

Ask is the thing you're currently worried about now something that will be of concern tomorrow, next week, next month...?  If not then is there any point worrying about it now?

Don't worry, be happy.

Strength for Change, Patience, and Wisdom

A friend sent me this great quote:

"Please give me the strength to change those things that can be changed, the patience to withstand those that cannot be changed, and the wisdom to tell the difference"

Designers of educational tools must be artistic in their creation of brain-friendly environments. Instructors need to realize that the best way to learn is not through lecture, but by participation in realistic environments that let learners try new things safely.

Fitness: time to improve

Not feeling fit and healthy this morning.
Need to schedule a fitness regime. Perhaps I can use a simple approach, searching...
Simple Quality Model: I can use this to improve my fitness.

You can never be sure!

Is the following statement true?

• In all aspects of life, you can never be sure of anything.

Example:
Traditional physics wisdom might suggest that light cannot be contained within a dimension smaller than half its wavelength. Yet a new technology [spaser: surface plasmon laser] demonstrates that this can be done.
