Is This The Education System The World Should Be Adopting?
Recently there has been a lot written and commented on, about the Finnish education system. Global league tables usually show Finland to have the best education system in the world. My family and I have been based in Finland for over a year now and are living the difference between the UK education system and that of Finland. We came here because we could. My wife is Finnish. Only last year we discovered there was an English stream in the local school, so we decided to make the move. The kids have three years to transfer into ‘Finnish’ classes. They really love it here. I can’t help wondering, are there other valuable lessons that can be learned, for the rest of the…
Using a Spiritual Teacher to Get to Enlightenment
One of the common misunderstandings about enlightenment or spiritual awakening is that you need a spiritual teacher to get there. This is a problematic idea that unfortunately is a part of more than a few religious and spiritual paths. In the not too recent past, I had someone email a long description about the how the teacher is supposed to transmit some kind of supernatural cosmic energy that will enlighten the …
How to become a better active listener
Your body may be present in a conversation… but the mind sometimes ‘gets carried away’! How many times have you nodded your head showing that you agree, without listening to what the other person is saying to you? A good listener is also quite often a good friend, a respected colleague or an understanding husband or wife. There are many examples of people who have solved dozens of arguments in their lives, only because they pay attention to the true meaning of the words and because they follow the ‘active listening’ strategy. One such skill does not go unnoticed by people. However, everyone …

Just Close Your Eyes
Following on the recent Eat Blindfolded post, I decided to dig more in the world of closed-eyeness. And the results were simply fascinating.. Almost to the point where I began to envy blind people for the numerous opportunities they have. The previous article only covered the effect of closing our eyes on the way we taste and enjoy food. This one though will mention the other areas that closing your eyes could effect. 1. Music I bet you all know this one. Simply put: Obviously, closing your eyes while listening to music enhances your experience and thus making you enjoy the music more. A few days ago, I was listening to live music and I thought I’d try something. I closed my eyes and started…

There IS Hope – Never Give Up!
When we are in our addiction..we believe that we are alright. We fool ourselves into thinking that we are doing fine. We have our drink or drug of choice & the world seems surmountable. But whats really going on with us is, we are headed for a “head on collision” with life. We WILL hit bottom at some point. Hopefully it won’t be at the medical examiners office. If we’re lucky we will have a rude awakening…in jail. Or perhaps with a friend who will have the courage & love for us to tell us we need to STOP KILLING OURSELVES! If we’re sick enough…

How little both are warranted…The light of Christianity has only served to show how much more hypocrisy and vice Related posts: Quotes of Wisdom: Thomas Jefferson Quotes of Wisdom: Sophocles on the Wisdom of Tragedy Ancient Egyptian Wisdom: Akhenaten – The Pharaoh of

No Fear in the New Year
Twelve years ago I looked out into the Atlantic Ocean on New Year’s Day with fear in my heart and uncertainty in my life. I had been fired from a “dot.com” company two weeks earlier with only two weeks of severance, no insurance for my two young children and only two months of savings in the bank. My wife and I had just invested every dollar we had and even took out a second mortgage on our home and $20,000 on a credit card to open what would be the first Moe’s Southwest Grill in Florida. The restaurant was set to open January 13th and we had no earthly idea how we would pay our home mortgage and other bills since I planned…
