Word for the Day: Thursday, July 18, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude.  A Philosophy of Gratitude, in my opinion, is one of the Best Philosophies around, because, along with Kindness, Gratitude helps the World go around.  So what are you Grateful for?

Word for the Day: Wednesday, July 17, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality.  How do you figure out the Value of a Philosophy of Equality?  In my opinion, if it's a Philosophy of Equal Opportunity, it is likely to Work Well.  However, watch out if it's a Philosophy of Forced Conformity:  That takes people in directions they may not wish to go.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, July 16, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence. Philosophy of Prudence?  [or]  A Prudent Philosophy?  (Sound alike, but they are not).  But consider the  *real*  meaning of Prudence, "showing care or thought for the Future", and Prudence looks different from the "slang" term, "Prude" that is often thrown out by people who should know better.

Word for the Day: Monday, July 15, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence.  An Innocent Philosophy?  (As opposed to a Guilty Philosophy?)  [or]  A Philosophy of Innocence?  (Google it:  Some interesting articles).  But also Google  "Beauty of Innocence".  Lots there.

Sunday, July 14, 2019

Word for the Day: Sunday, July 14, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.  So would one need to "ask Forgiveness" for their Philosophy?  Maybe, depending on the Details of that Philosophy.  But where you might have to ask  *yourself*  forgiveness, is if you  *refuse*  to Form your own Philosophy.

Weekly Theme: Week of July 14-20, 2019

The Theme for this Week is Philosophy.  What does Google say?  How about "the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline"?  Quite a mouthful.  In fact, this looks to be a High Powered week.  But remember, through all of this, that you are in charge of your own, personal Philosophy. 

Saturday, July 13, 2019

Word for the Day: Saturday, July 13, 2019

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.  Authentic Education?  Authentic Teachers?  (Yes to both).  Another important thing to do, of course, is to be Authentic to Yourself.

Friday, July 12, 2019

Word for the Day: Friday, July 12, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.  Interpret Education?  [or]  Teaching about Interpretation?  On the second one, Interpretation is a good Topic to learn about, whether in a School or not, because it makes a great Career Path for, when you know more than one Language, people can need your Services.

Thursday, July 11, 2019

Word for the Day: Thursday, July 11, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.  Please note that both Education and Teaching imply Schools and Universities, both of which are great places to Socialize.  Think about it!  And, since you have "Online Schools", this also goes with other, "electronic" ways to Socialize, such as Twitter and Facebook.  But I've always suggested that "In Person" is a better way to Socialize, in generally, than Online.

Wednesday, July 10, 2019

Word for the Day: Wednesday, July 10, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration.  A Concentrated Education?  (Dissolve in water?)  But it would be good to say that, when you Concentrate on what you need to accomplish, whether in School, Work, your Relationships, or your own, personal life, things work out better.

Tuesday, July 9, 2019

Word for the Day: Tuesday, July 9, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability.  An Acceptable Education?  Acceptable Teachers?  (Yes to both!)  But the most important Question to be asked, regarding this Word:  "Are you Acceptable to Yourself?"

Monday, July 8, 2019

Word for the Day: Monday, July 8, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity.  Education about Generosity?  (Why not?)  [or]  A Generous Teacher?  (The Best Kind!)  But our Word stands by itself because, in my opinion, Generosity helps the World go around.

Sunday, July 7, 2019

Word for the Day: Sunday, July 7, 2019

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing.  And what  *is*  Education, but a form of Sharing?  In effect, you are Sharing the ability to know more than you knew earlier.  And what could be better than that?

Weekly Themes: Week of July 7-13, 2019

The Themes for this Week are Education and Teaching.  So what  *is*  Education, but a way of Teaching people?  There are plenty of Words, used for this Topic, such as Instruction, Training, and Guidance.  There are Institutions for this, such as Schools and Universities, but we, actually Learn all of the time.  Life is a form of Education.  Think about that.

Words for the Day: Saturday, July 6, 2019

The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective.  How important are these?  I believe they are absolutely  *crucial*  to Retaining the Subject Material you are learning, because they,  together, give you the  "Executive Summary"  of the Topic itself.  And where would we be, without Perspective?

Friday, July 5, 2019

Word for the Day: Friday, July 5, 2019

The Word for Today (Friday) is Reflection.  Now one version of Reflection  ("Serious thought or consideration")  *absolutely*  helps a person to Retain Subject Matter, in an Academic scenario.  I'll leave anything else to your imagination.

Thursday, July 4, 2019

Word for the Day: Thursday, July 4, 2019

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study.  Retaining a Study?  (Say what?)  [or]  Studying Retention?  (Is Water Retention normal in a Human Body?)  But it is okay to be Selective about what Topics you Study, because otherwise, you can be overwhelmed!

Wednesday, July 3, 2019

Word for the Day: Wednesday, July 3, 2019

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption.  Do you Retain what you Absorb?  Does a Sponge?  How *does* one learn, via Absorption?  One way, especially for Languages, is Immersion Training.  In effect, you are, quite literally, absorbing what you hear around you.

Tuesday, July 2, 2019

Word for the Day: Tuesday, July 2, 2019

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review.  After Yesterday's Experiment comes Today's Review.  How did the Experiment go?  Was it successful?  Did it teach me what I needed to learn?  And, most importantly, will I Retain what I learn?  As you can see, Review is an important tool in Learning, as well as in Life.

Monday, July 1, 2019

Word for the Day: Monday, July 1, 2019

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation.  In an Academic scenario  (i.e. Chemistry or Physics class),  I found, first hand, that actually  *doing*  Experiments helped me to Retain the Class Material  *much*  better than watching demonstrations or films.  And remember that there are  *lots*  of opportunities to Experiment in Life.  (Get's you out of your Comfort Zone too).
