Rumi, on how to find True Love. Find What You Love and Let It Kill You. “We’re all going to die, all of us. What a circus! That alone should make us love each other, but it doesn’t. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities; we are eaten up by nothing.” Yes, we’re all going to die. You and me and everyone else. When we die isn’t even really the interesting question, as once you’re dead you won’t be around to care about what you did or didn’t do. No, the interesting question is how we die. Me? Luckily that hasn’t happened yet. When we think about our own deaths we typically think about the final moments. You could say that our death is a work-in-progress over the course of our lives — each breath, each bite, each swallow, each late night and missed traffic light, each laugh and scream and cry and crashing fist and lonely sigh — they each bring us one step closer to our own dramatic denouement from this world.
So the better question isn’t when you’re going to die. With Passion Comes Pain Bukowski was a shameless drinker, womanizer and all-around fuck up. How to Find Inner Peace as a Man in This Crazy World. This is a guest post by my buddy G-Freedom. G runs an amazing self-growth blog called “The Art of Selfhood,” where he shares his personal journey. This piece really shook me up when I first read it and I truly believe presents the reality of what we really crave for as men in a very clear and inspirational way.
-Andrian Inner peace. How much would you pay for it? What would you give for it? Inner peace. No matter if you never gain another lb of muscle (you will), never make another dollar (you will), and if everyone you know and care about dies and fades away (they will, eventually) – you will still have inner peace. What’s that worth to you? I can tell you the truth about something: I hesitated before sending this article to Andrian. But then I thought – If I’m not going to tackle the real issues men face, then why the hell am I writing in the first place?
We want inner peace. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m talking about a vibrant interaction with life. How does that make you feel?

What does “being a native or near-native speaker” really mean? If you happen to be a native speaker of a given target language, you were most probably born in a country where the target language is the official language.
You are most probably this country’s passport holder. You may have been educated following this country’s national curriculum, in which the very target language (being your mother tongue) is the norm. You may have observed festivals, customs and traditions typical of the country of your birth, of your upbringing. Grammar is a totally different issue. This is, of course, my personal opinion.

A strong woman works hard to create the life they want to live.
Living authentically is the key characteristic that makes them who they are and they aren’t willing to jeopardize what they have worked for. As such, they often come off as independent women that don’t need a man to be happy. And while this is true on some level, they do want a relationship that compliments what they stand for and what they have accomplished so far. Don’t let the tough exterior fool you, a strong woman is capable of loving deeply and fully and wants a meaningful relationship in her life. Strong women are on a mission. Of course, a strong woman is much more than the things listed here and the important takeaway is to expect a relationship, not a dalliance. Empowered women are strong yet vulnerable, love openly yet hold their feelings close and trust fully yet are slow to give it.

How Writing Down Specific Goals Can Empower Struggling Students. Why do you do what you do? What is the engine that keeps you up late at night or gets you going in the morning? Where is your happy place? What stands between you and your ultimate dream? Heavy questions. One researcher believes that writing down the answers can be decisive for students. He co-authored a paper that demonstrates a startling effect: nearly erasing the gender and ethnic minority achievement gap for 700 students over the course of two years with a short written exercise in setting goals.
Jordan Peterson teaches in the department of psychology at the University of Toronto. Experiments going back to the 1980s have shown that “therapeutic” or “expressive” writing can reduce depression, increase productivity and even cut down on visits to the doctor. “The act of writing is more powerful than people think,” Peterson says. Most people grapple at some time or another with free-floating anxiety that saps energy and increases stress. ‘It Turned My Life Around’ ‘Zeroes Are Deadly’ If you want your children to succeed, teach them to share in kindergarten. Kindergartners who share, cooperate and are helpful are more likely to have a college degree and a job 20 years later than children who lack those social skills, according to a new study. Kids who get along well with others also are less likely to have substance-abuse problems and run-ins with the law. The research, which involved tracking nearly 800 students for two decades, suggests that specific social-emotional skills among young children can be powerful predictors for success later in life.
“These are skills that probably portend their ability to do well in school, to pay attention and to navigate their environment,” said Damon E. Jones, a research assistant professor of health and human development at Pennsylvania State University. He was the lead author of the paper, published Thursday in the American Journal of Public Health. It may be difficult for overburdened schools to find time to focus on children’s social-emotional selves, he said, especially in grades beyond kindergarten. Brain-Based Learning: Resource Roundup.

Brain-Based Student-Engagement Strategies Brain-Friendly Assessment Practices Neuroscience and the Common Core. Strategies for Strengthening the Brain’s Executive Functions. Editor's note: This post is co-authored by Marcus Conyers who, with Donna Wilson, is co-developer of the M.S. and Ed.S. Brain-Based Teaching degree programs at Nova Southeastern University. Earlier in Donna's career as a teacher and school psychologist, she assessed, diagnosed, and helped to create interventions for children and youth who had difficulty with their executive functioning.
Today as teacher educators, we are pleased that our graduates are increasing students' cognitive, metacognitive, and executive functioning in classrooms around the world (as just one example, Texas teacher Diane Dahl blogs on teaching metacognition). What Are Executive Functions? Through explicit instruction and modeling, students can come to recognize the importance of taking charge of their executive functioning in their academic endeavors and later in their careers.
Executive functions can be defined as the awareness and directive capacities of the mind. Making Connections 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Language and reward: Study examines the pleasure of learning new words. From our very first years, we are intrinsically motivated to learn new words and their meanings. First language acquisition occurs within a permanent emotional interaction between parents and children. However, the exact mechanism behind the human drive to acquire communicative linguistic skills is yet to be established. In a study published in the journal Current Biology, researchers from the University of Barcelona (UB), the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) and the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg (Germany) have experimentally proved that human adult word learning exhibit activation not only of cortical language regions but also of the ventral striatum, a core region of reward processing. Results confirm that the motivation to learn is preserved throughout the lifespan, helping adults to acquire a second language.
Subcortical areas are closely related to those that help to store information. Motivation for learning a second language. The Trouble With Bright Girls. When Upward Mobility Becomes a Health Hazard. Denying instant gratification in deference to long-term goals is virtuous, people tell me. Those people might be right. Psychologists call it self-regulation or self-control. And together with conscientiousness, it’s at least a trait (or a coping mechanism) that’s reasonably good at predicting a young person’s future. People with less self-control are more likely to end up where the world tells them to go. Even in the worst circumstances, people with the most self-control and resilience have the highest likelihood of defying odds—poverty, bad schools, unsafe communities—and going on to achieve much academically and professionally.
Meanwhile the opposite effect is seen in high-achieving people from highly advantaged backgrounds, where achievement goes hand-in-hand with health. For the past several years, Miller and colleagues have studied the relationship between stress and physical health, and how self-control translates one into the other. Age Acceleration as a Function of Self-Control. What's the Real Purpose of Classroom Management? | Alfie Kohn. Everyone knows why classroom management skills are considered a critical part of teacher training. The reason we need to minimize "misbehavior" and get students to show up, sit down, and pay attention is so we can teach them stuff. That proposition is so obvious that it's rarely defended or even spelled out, except maybe on the first day of Classroom Management 101. While we may disagree about strategies -- for example, the relative merits of discipline versus self-discipline (getting kids to regulate and manage themselves) -- we take it for granted that the whole point is to create an environment conducive to learning.
But what if that wasn't entirely true? What if, at least for some teachers and administrators, an orderly classroom was the ultimate goal? And what if the curriculum and the model of teaching were actually chosen with that goal in mind? I first encountered this unsettling possibility some years ago in a book called Contradictions of Control. But why? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. BRUNO ŠIMLEŠA ‘Većinu problema u vlastitom životu stvaramo si sami’ | NACIONAL.HR. Pamtim da sam još kao dijete promatrao odrasle i pitao se zašto lažu, glume da su nešto što nisu i kompliciraju si živote umjesto da pokušaju nešto promijeniti. Tijekom odrastanja i obrazovanja sam pronašao odgovore na ta pitanja i spontano mi je došlo da se s time počnem i baviti”, govori jedan od najprodavanijih hrvatskih autora literature o samopomoći Bruno Šimleša. On je upravo objavio novu knjigu “Umjetnost života”, a započeo je i niz predavanja na temu ljubavi, obitelji i poboljšavanju kvalitete života koja se održavaju u zagrebačkom Branimir centru.
Iako mlad, pisanjem, predavanjem i osobnim savjetovanjem Šimleša se bavi više od 10 godina, a njegovu je popularnost dodatno povećao voditeljski angažman u televizijskoj emisiji “Svaki dan, dobar dan”, koja se na HTV-u emitira drugu sezonu.

Let’s be honest: our education system is fucked. I mean, almost all of the important history I learned between grades 5 and 12 I could probably find on Wikipedia and understand within a few weeks now. And pretty much any basic scientific knowledge you could ever want to learn is explained with pretty videos on YouTube. On top of that, you have the most unstable job market in almost 100 years, technology developing so rapidly that robots will be doing half the work in another decade, college degrees that some argue are now worthless, and new industries and technologies being invented practically every six months.
Yet we’re still pushing kids through the same curriculum their grandparents went through. It’s cliche at this point to say that the most important things you learn in life you don’t learn in school. But why couldn’t these things be taught in school? Call me bitter. But before I get carried away fantasizing, let’s get real. 1. Seriously, compound interest runs the fucking planet. Utopian Film. Cinema is the most prestigious cultural activity in the modern world. It is for us what theatre was in the age of Shakespeare or painting was in the days of Leonardo da Vinci: the art form with the biggest impact, the largest budgets, the most widespread audiences. © Flickr/Hamed Masoumi Collectively, we recognise that film has an astonishing power to induce emotion: it can reliably make millions of us weep, feel terror or relief, be elevated or downcast.
It is a massive engine for getting and holding our attention. But it would sound very weird to stop and ask what film was really for, what purpose it serves in our societies and why we spend so much time in its presence. That’s because we don’t generally think of films as serving any very strenuous or serious cause. We might point out that films aim to be great entertainment, make money at the box office and – occasionally – present us with a controversial idea.
