Examen - a hope and helpful habit for a cluttered mind (syncing mind & heart on the go)

The genius of St. Ignatius of Loyola is in making spirituality alive in the laws of nature and life.

How movement is related to learning.  If a learner is passively receiving information, this experiment showed that, the learner perception is stunted while a learner who can orient and move around the perceived world benefits more from his perceptions.

Highlights the value of active learning for students.

The Science of Happiness

Does success lead to happiness or happiness leads to success?







I remember this box of tacks and the candle on the board experiment from one of the vids I may have seen at TED sometime.

My take though is that happiness or peace of mind will eventually lead to success - achievement of a goal or lead to solutions to a problem.

Happiness leads to a better chance of success which spirals to a better positive affect or greater happiness.  But if you fail, that's I guess when the choice comes in, to choose to be happy, growth-mindset or optimism, despite the challenges.

hmmm. easier said?

Victor Frankl said something like, to take man as he should be, the ideal, and we make man better. Just like pilots when they land, they aim a little farther than the target to factor in draft (in real life, metaphorically the same as the challenges, temptations, obstacles one may face) and eventually land on target.

Be perfect like your father is perfect, or something to that effect, sounds like that, nuh?
