First, the business I have been involved with since summer has experienced a stunning transformation.

Between the Civil war (20 something groups making their points heard), Israeli - Lebanese war, Israeli - Palestinian war, 100 causalities weekly, snipers on every roof top, car bombs around each block, there was really nothing much to do than sitting home and hoping we'll get electricity back so we can watch TV or take a hot shower....

Self-Directed Learning - Whose Music Are You Dancing To? - Many years ago my husband and I would often go to parties. We weren't Christians back then, so in our opinion, we considered that music had the sole purpose of being danced to. We would dance a lot. But sometimes the disk jockey would get caught up in certain kind of music we disliked. So we left the dance floor and we'd wait for our favorite music to play again. Sometimes my husband would kindly request the disk jockey to play some favorite song of ours, or a special kind of music to dance to. And off we'd go again a'swinging and a'dancing. Okay, but what has that got to do with self-directed learning? More than you think.

How Would You React and Respond If This Were To Happen to You Today or To-morrow? - You can be mighty in a palace, with all the wealth and sophistication and education and then you may have to learn to be meek in the wilderness. The bottom person in the Egyptian social ladder was a shepherd. At 80, did Moses think that his best and finest work was over?
