Life Attitudes
"Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence."
-Abigail Adams
"The man who graduates today and stops learning tomorrow is uneducated the day after."
-Newton D. Baker
"No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals."

Seeds of Success: Summertime Is Learning Time
By Robert A. Prentice
Many of us who were educated in the public school system developed a bad habit. When summertime came, we quit the "book learning" for 3 months. The last place we wanted to be is in a classroom learning anything. We avoided learning as if it were the plague. After 12-16 years of schooling, this attitude about learning has become a poor habit for many adults. When summertime comes our personal productivity often seems to drop. Employers tell me that employees seem to want to "take off" so much more than usual. Everyone wants to play as much as possible and learning definitely takes a back seat.
In all reality, summertime can be the perfect learning time. We are more relaxed; we have more flexible time. I challenge you to put away your school days paradigm and pick up a good book - something that will awaken your potential, build your mind and challenge you to grow this summer. Why not commit to reading one good book each month this summer? You could determine to learn something new, such as that computer software program you've been putting off, or possibly a skill of some kind. How about making it a point to improve your time management skills?
Do a Google search on a topic of interest. I like to keep a list of interesting topics to research, as time allows. Whenever I can, I just go down my list and research topics that are important to my personal and professional growth. I know I never want to stop the learning process in my life.
My encouragement to you today is to resist the temptation to put the "pause button" on learning this summer. Become a consumer of information and a life-long student. There's so much to learn!

On the Sunny Side of Life
A woman walks into a vet's waiting room, dragging a wet rabbit on a leash. "Sit, Fluffy," she says. Fluffy glares at her and then the soaking-wet rabbit jumps up on another customer's lap, getting water all over him.
"I said sit, Fluffy!" the woman shouts. "Don't you want to be a good little rabbit?"
Apparently not, because Fluffy, still wet, jumps onto the floor shakes furiously, spraying water on everyone and then proceeds to squat to do his business, right there in the middle of the room.
"Fluffy!" the woman screams, and then, mortified by Fluffy's behavior, she turns to the other people in the room and says, "Please forgive me, I've just washed my hare, and I can't do a thing with it!"
