A good poem for those who buy- “Life is tough, so #School and #Parenting must be tough” –   (Powerful Last line: Can’t handle your jail cell how will you handle your casket)   Additionally, as professionals, we must acknowledge that parenting is subjective and influenced by a variety of factors. These include personal values, cultural norms, religion, language, geography, socio-economic status, government regulations, educational philosophies, and child development theories.   https://lnkd.in/guCTGqJn #socialemotionallearning

This is a successful multi-millionaire, revered by millions for his successes talking about a teacher in his early life. A young boy who didn’t have much hope, wasn’t an easy student by his own admission. Remember, whatever your goals, whatever your life, whatever you achieve, your life is but one life. Whatever you achieve, whatever you do, you can touch people, in the heart, with your love. https://lnkd.in/eQkFAdd2

James 'Buster' Douglas went from an underdog to beat the unrivaled and undefeated Mike Tyson in 1990. Leonard Mlodinow's recounted this episode in his book, "Emotional: The New Thinking About Feelings" to explain the power of determination which could be traced to two networks in the brain: the emotional salience network and the executive control network. I saw this determination at work in the course of my work in Chinese Development Assistance Council (CDAC). Two families came to mind. They cannot be more different. One is a father-daughter pair who live in a rental flat. The father, who is increasingly ill, has nonetheless brought up his daughter who is now the main caregiver to him. The girl is all of 17 only. On the morning I visited with my CDAC colleagues, we were happy to know that the girl had gone to receive an edusave award. Despite humble beginnings, the girl is now in Institute of Technical Education before proceeding to a polytechnic under Ministry of Education, Singapore (MOE)'s Direct Entry Scheme to Polytechnic Programme. Another is a family of 9 living in a 4 room flat. They have a child with special needs. An aged parent lives with them. Both parents were grateful for the help they got, were cheerful, were nonchalant about their challenges bringing up 6 children, and would go the extra mile to cater to their children's interest. I see Leonard Mladinow's theory of determination through their eyes. For every family who succeed against their circumstances because of their determination, there is probably another who lost the 'battle of hardship' and have given up. If determination is a key enabler to upward social mobility, how do we trigger it? That is the question before us. https://lnkd.in/gztJ8Nkz

101. OUT OF POCKET

Thinking about what Babe Ruth said, 'Yesterday's home runs don't win today's game,' makes a lot of sense to me. It reminds me of the bonus growth tip I put in the app yesterday, the one about Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's quote: 'Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.' Working on this app has taught me that it's not just about learning new things; it's about actually doing something with what you learn. I try to use what I pick up every day to make the app better, not just for other small businesses, but for mine too. It's all about putting those ideas to work, like making things easier for our customers or finding smarter ways to get things done. I really think it's the action, not just the knowledge, that helps a business grow. I won’t lie, it is often tough, but it's definitely worth it, especially now that 13,358 business owners are using the app. ~ Dr. Raewyn #smallbusinessowners #smallbusinesstips #smallbusinessstrategy Marketing Strategy App by Stratagease

Are You Done Yet? - With Struggling & Striving This video is a little follow up from my last video about How To Trust The Divine. Nothing really changes until you simply have had enough of living a compromised life always on the edge of surviving, paying bills, defending, arguing, accommodating, improving and simply not trusting the ever Flowing Fulfillment of the Divine inside of you. Have you had enough yet? Are you done yet? Or do you still have a few rounds in you that need to battle it out before you surrender? For more information https://lnkd.in/gJu-8iSQ
