A question like this????..and it sets me thinking !!! Simple as it sounds but to answer is difficult ! When I read this question and was to fill in this box...I actually paused... A sudden silence within...I asked myself " Who am I" . Is it just about filling in adjectives here??? Im sure not ! I intend to begin a journey...a journey within and then perhaps I may discover myself! My inner self! I probably can then describe....MYSELF !!! :-)
The way to do is to be. – Lao-Tze
My “to do” list will never be finished, and the more I learn, the more things I find I want to pursue. There are too many interesting things to do in life.
But a list of desires does not bring me spiritual or emotional fulfillment. My emotional strength and spiritual grounding come from acceptance of myself and from my connection to the world.
I’ve learned to trust my very being and and this trust leads me, in turn, to venture out and live in the world with adventure and joy. It’s wonderful circle of being: the more I learn, and then live centered in my core, the more I want to do.
It sure would be great, though, to at least finish one list! I’m always on the search for new ways to organize my lists and projects. I have several book projects, several consulting projects and a few inventions in the works, each project with many layers.projects
Who’s got good ideas for organizing multiple projects.

I think teachers should be judged on test scores. Like any other profession you are judge by your ability to perform the job at hand in the most proficient way. I know several teachers who do not get the opportunity to move forward because another one is politically connected and not the best for the job. Who wants that sort of person teaching our children. I want the best teaching my kids. this is a question that all you need is common sense. You would want the best to run your company why not teaching our kids.
