Four short words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above the crowd; a little bit more.
They did all that was expected of them and a little bit more.

If you force a child to do ...
If we continually try to force a child to do what he is afraid to do, he will become more timid, and will use his brains and energy, not to explore the unknown, but to find ways to avoid the pressures we put on him.

Tell me and I'll forget.
Show me and I'll remember.
Involve me and I'll understand.
-- Native American Proverb
In learning, listening is good, yet not good enough, as you may forget when you hear easily!
In learning, observation is better than listening, as you can hear and see at the same time, hence you can remember better.
Nevertheless, the best learning is to have hands-on experience yourself!
Your experience will internalized the learning and make it part of your knowledge!

When we blame, we give away our power.
-- Greg Anderson
When we blame, we give away the opportunity of fine tuning our inner channel and look for ways to improve ourself.
Instead of getting angry and blame others for anything that is annoying, ask for advice from friends alike on how to improve.
Sometime talking to a close friend make you feel better as you are likely to accept the view and look at things from a different perspective.
With the calm and peace you have at that moment, you will be able to concentrate and do things well.
