Friday Filosophy #2016-1

Today, in our Friday Filosophy #2016-1 I want to focus first on learning. We are undergoing a complete makeover, a radical one, in our learning business. We are converting everything to internet based learning.

We are creating programs we call Learning: On Demand which will cover 60 plus internet based self-study programs on specific subjects. These programs will replace our live webinars.

We are also in the process of developing the Virtual Classroom programs. These programs will replace the actual classroom seminars we have been conducting for the past twenty years. 2016 will be the last year we offer the live classroom as a learning format. The Virtual Classroom will offer 14 plus specific learning products. They will all have CEU available.

Let me start then with some quotes on Education and Learning.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

Nelson Mandela

 

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.

Martin Luther King

 

Education is wasted on the young.

Albert Schweitzer

 

The tools of education are bitter but the fruit is sweet.

Aristotle.

 

Education is the movement from darkness to light.

Allan Bloom

 

Education is learning what you didn’t even know you didn’t know.

David J Boorstin

 

Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.

Anthony J D’Angelo

 

And now for our Friday Filosophy.

Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves keep intact your roots.

Victor Hugo

 

The leader has to be practical and a realist, yet must talk the language of the visionary and the idealist.

Eric Hoffer

 

It is not enough to take steps which may someday lead to a goal; each step must be itself a goal and a step likewise.

Johan Wolfgang von Goethe

 

Forgiveness is a virtue of the brave.

Indira Gandhi.

 

The time is now

Onto Friday Filosophy 9, of 2015.

 

It takes less character to discover the faults of others than to tolerate them

J. Petit Senn

 

Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men.
