Book: Awakening Brilliance

So about an hour ago, I finished this enlightening book. Called 'Awakening Brilliance'. In all honesty I'm sure it's a guide to help teachers or educators learn new approaches to educating their students. I've had this book for YEARS. My mom has been trying to get me to read this for ages. I'm not even sure she finished it, I found her bookmark LOL. & by ages I mean... early high school & I've been out for almost 4 years now. Damn time flies. Any who...

Reading the book and interpreting things that I've learned from the book and incorporating them in my everyday life, is the best part of this read. I mean... It was meant for teachers and students to build relationships and healthy work environments, but who says you can't use that in your everyday life? I've learned more about values, and evaluations. "Everyone is unique; and once you are aware of your uniqueness; it's not likely you'll compare yourself to anyone else" Everything stated in the book made total sense. Made me think back to school. A lot of teachers, have different teaching styles, and many are hard on their students... Very few actually reach out to students & build a relationship, where students are not afraid to fail, and learn from their mistakes. To get change, you start with yourself. That information will not go unnoticed.

After reading this book, subtract the appendix... Meant for teachers, to refer to, in making change in their classrooms.

I remember my favorite teacher from high school! He was so nice, and he worked with everyone, creating relationships... Helping others with understanding, and learning. He didn't teach at us. He taught us, and in turn he learned new things from his students. Mr. Murray. =)

I'm glad I finally read this book. I'll be using it everyday. It's 2am and I want to call my mom & thank her, then maybe have her finish the book.... Then give it back lol. Anyways... Good night hunni buns.

Love Vs. Career

So I've been meaning to write this post for a while now. I've been uber-busy with work and dealing with other things. So please accept my apology. One day last week I was asked a question by one of my friends. She posted the question on my wall, which was the part that caught me off guard. If you're on my facebook, then you already know that I need my wall empty, and if not.... The only thing on there are my status'/twitter updates.

Which is better? Finding true love or focusing on your grind?

(again... I'm not sure if that was the way she originally worded it, because after I replied, I deleted it off my wall =/ )

Something along those lines anyways...

So how about it... Which is better? Focusing on love, or focusing on your hustle/grind/career?

Uh, personally, I love working on me. Something I can look at in the future and say, "damn! I did this... I did it all on my own, and I did it to be where I am now". I don't think I can look at a successful relationship and have the same feelings/emotions. Relationships are important, but my career is a bit more precious. Like I told Tiff.

" Hmm I suppose it just depends on whats going on in your life. Are you a person who lives for someones touch; their love, their everything. Meaning the good and all the bad.! Or are you in a time; where you are so driven by your goals that... you love working, building your career and still studying to improve all at the same time
I think both offer a lot of pro's but cons as well. To each their own I guess!
You know me; I love love.. I love being in love, but honestly I have no time for it. & sometimes I think to myself 'like really dude. WTF! I'm freakin lonely' but at the same time. I make my money and count it & smile at the end of the night. & I'm fine. ---- I guess, that's just an evaluation everyone makes for themselves. "

Let me know how you feel about this... Agree? Disagree? Have your own opinions? Let me hear it.
