Nowadays the only thing that never changes is that there is always a change somewhere. Welcome to the Information Age! The problem is that the vast majority of humankind is not prepared for these changes or for adequately adapting to them. It's because the whole educational system is still operating in a world that no longer exists. For those of us who are sandwiched between both ages self-directed learning can be a key lifesaver.

- Self-Directed Learning - Reach Your Goals by Getting Rid of That "All Or Nothing" Mentality

- Are You a Born Loser? Quit Looking Through the Rear View Mirror
[Self-Improvement:Success] There is an obvious reason why the windshield is far bigger than the rear view mirror.

- Self-Directed Learning - Important Lesson From Superstars - Your Talent is Not a Gift, It's a Job

- Smart Financial Planning - What Are the Numbers in Your Real Life Report Card?
[Finance:Personal-Finance] "My banker has never asked me for my report card" (Robert Kiyosaki). Numbers don't lie.

The average professional nowadays might have a high-paying job, a big home, a nice car, and be doing well at work, but a quick glance at his or her financial statement will reveal an excess of expenses and, in many cases, a huge debt.

- Self-Directed Learning - The Secret Of How To Help Your Child Become A Self-Directed Learner
[Reference-and-Education] The main goal for every successful education is that of teaching an individual how to master the learning tools so as to learn by himself. Once a child has come to the point of being able to design and acquire his education by himself, nothing will ever stop him/her from learning again. He has acquired a love of learning and the sky is the limit to what this child can achieve in his or her lifetime. Because he has discovered how to unleash the power of a self-directed learning process, the child will be able to teach himself virtually anything he proposes to learn for the rest of his life. Nevertheless, not every educational method nowadays has this result. Many teenagers, and even young adults, have not found a way of how to thoroughly enjoy learning and how to pursue their education with zeal. On the contrary, many of them are bored with their education and have resigned to simply and dutifully comply with the requirements imposed on them by their parents and teachers.

- Parenting the Unmotivated Child - Are You Requiring Too Much From Your Child?
[Home-and-Family:Parenting] One of the most heartbreaking scenarios I can imagine in a teaching context is a little child struggling vainly to achieve what is required of him or her.

He is not ready for that level of requirement, and his teacher or parents, or both, are forcing him to achieve something that's beyond his capabilities.

Have you ever wondered what things would be like, if you'd learn to tap into this kind of life? If you want to step out and walk in what God has for you, there is one important step you have to take.

Don't get me wrong. I do believe in our incredible human capability. After all, we were created in the image of God. But without Him it just won't work.

- Self-Directed Learning - Whose Music Are You Dancing To?
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] Many years ago my husband and I would often go to parties. We weren't Christians back then, so in our opinion, we considered that music had the sole purpose of being danced to. We would dance a lot. But sometimes the disk jockey would get caught up in certain kind of music we disliked. So we left the dance floor and we'd wait for our favorite music to play again. Sometimes my husband would kindly request the disk jockey to play some favorite song of ours, or a special kind of music to dance to. And off we'd go again a'swinging and a'dancing. Okay, but what has that got to do with self-directed learning? More than you think. You see, the other day I heard somebody make a frustrating exclamation about his life, "They play the music and I have to dance to it." Inevitably I had to ask myself, "Whose music am I dancing to?"

- Motivate Your Children - Setting The Example Is The Most Effective Way to Increase Their Motivation
[Reference-and-Education:Home-Schooling] Nevertheless, most parents and teachers really prefer to assign and demand instead of inspiring their child to get a great education. They have been conditioned to believe that this is the most effective way of teaching. The reason for this is very simple: "requiring" demands much less from the teacher or parent than "inspiring." It means that the parent has to find out what the child really needs and then creatively encourage them to pursue it with excitement and interest. It's not that hard if you go for it yourself! The best way to effectively inspire a child to learn something is by setting the example.

These are probably a premium selection of the top favorite commands that are given to our children daily. We parents are good at giving commands to our children. And we should be. After all, God has given us the responsibility, and therefore also the authority, to educate them. Commands are wonderful! Once they are pronounced they have a way of quickly reestablishing peace in our families. Phew! And we can go on with whatever we were doing. At least for a while... Depending on the obedience of our children, they all look pretty under control once the problem is dealt with. But is it really? Is it enough to give a command with the sole goal of having them comply?

[Home-and-Family:Parenting] Having "aaarrrggghh" moments with your beloved son or daughter? Granted, parenting isn't easy at times. In my life there were seasons where the part I most enjoyed about being a parent was at night, when our children were sleeping! Once they woke up, the whole struggle started all over again. My biggest frustration was not knowing how to make them do what was required of them. Bad attitudes and indifference were issues I struggled with daily. Sure, I could force them to comply, but that is all I got: compliance. This is a very subtle form of rebellion we should never accept in our children. Reading books about homeschooling didn't help either. They frustrated me even more. These moms had superkids. Love of Learning? Children getting up early to finish their math assignment? Happily reading and writing? What on earth was wrong with my children? Or could it possibly be me doing something wrong? This was years ago, when we started homeschooling our children. Thankfully God was merciful and taught me a lot throughout our homeschooling years.

[Reference-and-Education:Home-Schooling] Let's face it. When it comes to sitting down with our children to get some homework done, most of us want to get it over and done with as soon as possible.
