Parents

 Baby’s brain is like a lantern; It’s vaguely aware of everything. An adult’s brain on the
other hand is like a flashlight, consciously focused on specific things but ignoring
background. Scientist suggest that creative people have retained some abilities to think
like an infant
 The brain makes the most connections among its cells before your child turns 10. This is
also the time when he learns language best. When you use rich language with your
young child, you are improving his future vocabulary.
 An active body makes for an active brain, so make learning a hands-on affair.
 Cortisol, a hormone that kills off connections in the learning and memory parts of the
brain, is produced during trauma. While you can't (and shouldn't) protect your child
from all stressors, a close relationship with you and other caring adults will help her
learn to cope and to feel good about herself.
 Singing, listening to, and playing music improves spatial orientation and mathematical
thinking. Plus, rhyming builds language skills
 there are some things that need to be tightly watched around kids, but when you shield
your child from every possible inconvenience they'll end up either spoiled or overly
dependent
 anxiety can cause children to be afraid of everything

 Giving a kid freedom as a teenager is key. However, giving a kid so much freedom that
you essentially check out from any sort of parental role ultimately leads to the kid trying
to make life decisions without any real guidance.

 Children learn how to go with the flow of things when plans suddenly change, and
learns how to deal with ‘mistakes/failures’ and less than ideal outcomes.
 If you don't know, that's fine; teach the kid how to find out
 Help them develop emotional intelligence
 Encouraging kids correctly is about praising them for their effort, not for the results.
 My dad would ask my brother and me what we had failed at that week, and if we didn't
have something to tell him, he'd be disappointed
 But be by their sides when they need you
 If you want them to read, be a reader first. If you want them to improve their writing
skills, begin writing letters to your children. You want them to do well in math? Stop
telling them you hate Math.
 Let kids experience the life; it’s not all about the books.

 Education comes from within; you get it by struggle and effort and thought. Napoleon

lifetime. Maimonides
 Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a cleverer devil.
C. S. Lewis
 It turns out that advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both
morally right and good economics, because discrimination, poverty and ignorance
restrict growth, while investments in education, infrastructure and scientific and
technological research increase it, creating more good jobs and new wealth for all of us.
William J. Clinton

Teamwork & socializing

Technology

 The science of today is the technology of tomorrow. Edward Teller

 Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master. Christian Louse Lange
 Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper
of our lives. It interrupts our own story, interrupts our ability to have a thought or a
daydream, to imagine something wonderful, because we're too busy bridging the walk
from the cafeteria back to the office on the cell phone. Steven Spielberg
 Technology is nothing. What's important is that you have a faith in people, that they're

anyone knows anything about science and technology. Carl Sagan

used. Rick Smolan
 Good, bad or indifferent, if you are not investing in new technology, you are going to be
left behind. Philip Green
 Technology gives us the facilities that lessen the barriers of time and distance - the
telegraph and cable, the telephone, radio, and the rest. Emily Greene Balch

Art

 The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward
significance. Aristotle
 The history of the music industry is inevitably also the story of the development of
technology. From the player piano to the vinyl disc, from reel-to-reel tape to the
cassette, from the CD to the digital download, these formats and devices changed not
only the way music was consumed, but the very way artists created it. Edgar Bronfman,
Jr.

L. Mencken
 He who is without a newspaper is cut off from his species. P. T. Barnum

Internet that has killed them. It is their own greed, it is their own stupidity, and it is
capitalism that has taken our daily newspapers from us. Michael Moore
 A good newspaper, I suppose, is a nation talking to itself. Arthur Miller

TV &Radio

 On TV the people can see it. On radio you've got to create it. Bob Uecker
