It was observed that children this days are different.
  They are different in attitudes.
  They are different in characters.
  They are different in styles.
  They are different in giving respect and answering.
  They are not sensitive to needs, especially to those who need help.
  They are not like the former youth, way back two to three decades ago.

Life Stages, part 2

The previous post ( http://learner-spot.blogspot.com/2011/05/life-stages.html)  is a table about life stages. It identifies tasks of different life stages with their corresponding year or ages. It is shown in the table how we would behave as part of growing and development. The different indicated tasks are not obligations, but it is a reminder that as we move on from different life stages, we need to be aware of different things that we should have done.
Because everything are changing and fades, don't let ourselves fade without any accomplishment. We should filled our days, weeks, and years with enumerated accomplishment.

Life Stages

Stages	Ages	Task
Infancy	0 to 2	Standing period
Childhood	3 to 12	Weaning period
Adolescence	13 to 20	Learning to be independent
Adulthood
Early	21 to 35	Start to establish
Middle	36 to 50	Sustain and maintain

Money is not everything

Money can make your world go round.
Money enables you to have access to different convineinces.
Money can be a passport to all walks on the earth skin.
You could be great with money.
You can acquire almost anything with money.
But money is not everything, most of the essential things in life are free or priceless.
The air we breathe is free, sunlight is free, the beautiful environment is free.
Besides the great usefulness of money today, still there are many things that money can't buy; our love ones and the life we posses are being sustain free.
Never get sad when you don't have money because money is not everything. Go to your fellow and enjoy what life had brought. 

Live like a KITE

The kite goes up in space with the air, it dance and sway in strong winds against him. The kite was played by anybody, it can be seen during summer and windy weather. The kite was known from children to adults.
But how many are familiar with the kite situation in flying, are we aware that the kite can't fly without the strong winds against him? Are we familiar that without strong wind the kite will go down, the life of kite or it's flying capability depend so much on strong winds, and without it, it will fall down. The kite doesn't go with the wind to survived, but it goes against the wind to move up and fly high.

Our life sometime goes with the flow, that we're afraid to face troubles and trials. But we must know that by exerting effort to move up against many obstacles and test which stands as winds in life will make us stronger and fly higher like the kite. Yet it is not so easy to fly and go up, just like the kite that will fall down and fly so high in the presence of oppositions, we too can do it and will make it.

Let it be that our oppositions are the source of our strength in embracing our dreams and goals in life. 

Peace of Mind is attained when our mind is occupied

Our mind contain a lot of things, and they were there while you can't have them or until they were released. Sometimes we store them not only in the conscious mind but even in our subconscious mind. That is why our dream is about the things that we want or what bothers us daily.
Did you know that when we are occupied and focus to what we are doing, there is less trouble in our mind.
But if we don't have any work that will make us busy, possibilities are, we notice everything in our environment,  we sense any trouble that happen in our body, or sometimes we have enough time for unnecessary things.
There are a lot of benefits in making yourself occupied; one is achieving, another is fulfilling, and the most important is you maintain a peaceful mind while busy and later on having the products.
So why stay unoccupied when peaceful mind is attained when you're occupied. 

What hinders you to lead?

Are you afraid to start because you’re alone?

Are you afraid to move because there are people who will impede you?

Are you thinking that you can’t start and move without budget?

Or you’re afraid to start because you’re not sure?

When Thomas Edison had invented the incubator, he just wants to find out if an egg will be hatch by a heat provided by another living organism. He tried to hatch an egg to a usual manner that a hen does when he applied the heat from his body by sitting close to the eggs, exactly imitating what the hen does for hatching the eggs, and his effort had become successful, he hatch the eggs after several days. Before he had done it people laugh at him pointing that he was insane, but after the short period of waiting and persistence, his effort has provided a good outcome, the invention of incubator.

Another is the story of Bill Gates in having Microsoft. No one had aim and dreamed like Bill Gates because his dream was next to impossible. His dream was, “that every home will have a computer.” A computer is not like television, a computer during those days is not yet user friendly like of what we have now. But he says this, “if every home will have a computer, I’ll be the richest man in the world.” Computer had become a necessity, he becomes the world most influential person, also became the world riches person at the age of thirty. Now, he controls Microsoft the world’s most popular operating system and office assistant.

We can be different and famous in our own way, provided that we are not afraid to start and stand.
