Hum for your health! It may help your sinuses 6:40:22 PM       TEE SEMINAR by Michael Kahn. Quote: "Why do you come to college? It has never seemed reasonable to me that one comes to college because of the professors. If the professors have anything important to say, it can be mimeographed and mailed to you back home in Redding. Nor can I believe you come here for the books. They too can be mailed to Redding. It seems to me the only reasons worth coming here for is each other. I believe that you are each other's most important resource along the path of this educational journey." Comment: via Greg H. - Educational Barn-Raising. [Serious Instructional Technology] 2:24:00 PM       Word to the Wise: Philomath [via www.earlytorise.com]. A "philomath" (FI-luh-math) is a lover of learning. This is a word that I'd never actually use ... but secretly enjoy knowing. 1:51:43 PM       Emile Coue. "Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better." 8:55:03 AM       Bishop Richard Cumberland. "It is better to wear out than to rust out." 8:53:56 AM       What Buddhists Know About Science. Tibetan Buddhists described advanced neurological concepts 2,000 years before science had the technology to discover them. By Daithí Ó hAnluain. [Wired News] "If you go to Dharamsala (in India, home of the Tibetan government in exile), you go up through the fog in midwinter and you come out in the bright sunshine; it's like going to heaven. What strikes you immediately is the happy, smiling faces of the Tibetans, who don't have much, have been terribly deprived and yet they are happy. Well, why are they happy? "They work at it! They don't take their Prozac in the left hand, and pop the pill. Monks have been studied by Richard Davidson -- they are very positive, they've got no material possessions, it's a grind, it's cold, they don't have much food. But they are happy. They work at it." That work is focused on introspective meditative practices that have been developed over thousands of years. 8:51:17 AM
