I'm Hired...Teaching Computers-101 to little Grade 1 Students - Volunteer work

Guess what happens when you wear a work logo t-shirt to your child's parent-teacher conference...the teacher finds out where you work and then you are asked if you'd ever thought of teaching the kids computers 101...
Happened to me and was so glad how the experience turned out...we are talking about a class of 23 little Grade 1 Students learning to use an Apple Mac Book Pro...
From opening Safari, using Google to search and logging onto the suggested Web page and reading their preferred book and taking a quiz...controlling the volume, logging out, closing Safari and the final Shut Down...
What an eXperience...

So aligned with last weekends "Super Soul Sunday" with Dr. Maya Angelou's Quote:

The Olympic Dream - Major Manna Singh

I would like to introduce

 to the world 

on this special day of the 

Olympics 2012 Opening Ceremony 

to my grand father:

'Major Manna Singh - a Silent Warrior'.

Rule #6

Rule #6
(RB - ReBlogging from the link above)



Here is a short story from the book:


"The Art Of Possibilty" by Benjamin and Rosamund Zander

Two prime ministers are sitting in a room discussing affairs of state. Suddenly a man bursts in, apoplectic with fury, shouting and stamping and banging his fist on the desk. The resident prime minister admonishes him: "Peter," he says, "kindly remember Rule Number 6," whereupon Peter is instantly restored to complete calm, apologizes and withdraws (...) The visiting prime minister addresses his colleague: "My dear friend, I've seen many things in my life, but never anything as remarkable as this. Would you be willing to share with me the secret of Rule Number 6?" "Very simple," replies the resident prime minister.

"Rule Number 6 is: 'Don't take yourself so g-damn seriously.'"

"Ah," says his visitor, "that is a fine rule." After a moment of pondering, he inquires, "And what, may I ask, are the other rules?"
"There aren't any."
