“What motivates me is knowing that there is a world of people in need and it’s going to take each of us to do at least one act of kindness to make it a better place. I can’t save everyone but while I’m on this earth I’m going to help as many as I can.” – BrothaD

“I’m a lifelong learner and am always obsessively studying something, whether that’s breadmaking or language or wine or chess or writing or fitness. Here are two key lessons — both really the same lesson — I’ve learned about learning, in all my years of study and in trying to teach people: Almost everything I’ve learned, I didn’t learn in school; and almost everything my students (and kids) have learned, they learned on their own. Those two lessons (or one lesson) have a number of reasons and implications for learning. Let’s take a look at some of them, in hopes you might find them useful.” Zen Habits’ Leo Babauta shares more. { read more }
