Kicking off the Holiday Season

The Auguston Arrows Leadership Club had a "mix and mingle" meeting on Thursday. We had some yummy snacks and got to know our club members better.  We talked about our Cyrus Centre project and those who are in need and how we can spread Christmas joy.

Learning is Easier and Harder than You Think

I spoke with an elementary student recently. He was a hockey fan and could easily recite NHL players' names. He knew their jersey numbers, the positions they played, and sometimes the number of goals and assists they scored. I suspect you might know a sports fan like this, too.

Most of us understand that time is a precious commodity. There is no going back when a moment, a week, or a year has passed. So how we spend our time ought to be a key consideration. What is more, the demands of life and career are such that it can often feel as if there is not enough time to do the things we want or need to do. Time pressure is real, and I am certainly not immune.
