We Must Do Our Best!

I think we are here to make a difference!

We have been put on this earth to leave it better than we found it.

Do you believe that to be true?

In order to make a positive difference, we have to lift up those who need our help.

As the saying goes, “It is in giving that we receive.”

I believe this saying gives us a path upon which to live our lives.

Bill Gates Claims AI Will Replace Teachers!

He is convinced AI will replace teachers in 10 years.

Key reasons behind Bill Gates’ perspective on AI in education include:

  • Personalized Learning at Scale: AI can adapt to a student’s pace, providing customized lessons that feel like tutoring, which Gates believes will be better or equal to human tutoring within ten years.
  • Infinite Patience and Availability: Unlike humans, AI tutors never get frustrated or tired, allowing them to provide, for instance, essay feedback or math help at any time, notes Fortune.
  • Addressing Educational Gaps: AI tools like Khanmigo are designed to help students with specific, individualized feedback on their writing or math problems, addressing gaps in reading and writing.
  • Freeing Up Teachers: While Gates sees AI replacing some aspects of teaching, he also sees it as a tool that can take over, for example, grading and routine tasks, enabling teachers to focus more on mentoring and student emotional engagement.
  • Rapid Advancement: Gates has pointed out the rapid improvement in AI technology, suggesting that AI’s ability to simulate high-quality teaching will soon become a common, and for many, an essential part of the educational experience.

A Life Isn’t Measured By Its Length, But By Its Depth!

(Ralph Waldo Emerson)

I chose today’s title because we can always strive to make things better.

Even if it’s a little thing.

They all add up.

Is there some positive contribution you’d like to make?

Or, could you encourage someone else who has a good idea or unique talent?

If so, let them know you think it is worth pursuing.

With all the negativity going around, a positive contribution would be most welcome!

Stay Warm Outside Tips!

Check Temperature and wind chill before going out.

If driving, make sure the gas tank is at least half full.

Don’t exercise outside alone.

Wear several layers of clothing, which trap air and provide better insulation.

Keep your head, ears, nose, and forehead covered to prevent heat loss and frostbite.

Mittens are warmer than gloves because they keep fingers together.

Wet clothing removes body heat rapidly.

Cover all skin to avoid frostbite, which turns skin white and numb. 

Fiber Is Replacing Protein!

New York —

Move over, protein. Fiber is on pace to be the next “it” nutrient of the year.

Consumers — particularly Gen Z — are fixated on stomach health, leading to the “fibermaxxing” trend taking hold on TikTok.

As people try to maximize the fiber in their meals, major food companies are capitalizing on the trend with new, fiber-focused products.

“There is a consumer need in terms of digestion and gut health.

And that’s something we’ve seen the last few years,” said Sherry Frey, health and wellness thought leader at NIQ.

The younger generation, she added, understands that digestive health is linked to better skin and improved cognitive function. (CNN)

Don’t Imitate Others. Take Your Own Path!

In order to be confident, you gotta be YOU.

If you are copying someone else, you won’t be genuine.

And people will notice that.

Why would you want to imitate another person??

Is it because you’re not creative?

Or, could it be that you aren’t confident enough to do it your way?

I really believe you will have the perseverance necessary to succeed if you inject YOU into it!

Are You An Optimist, Pessimist Or Realist?

Most people only compare an optimist with a pessimist.

I believe there is a third category, however, that must be considered.

A realist is a person who accepts a situation and is prepared to deal with it w/o a predisposition.

Deals with facts in a straightforward, objective way knowing there may be positive or negative outcomes.

A realist stays connected to reality.

I think it can be helpful in your decision-making if you take into account .your natural tendency.

Blessed Are The Risk Takers!

So True!

Which is more painful?

Regret not having tried or regret trying and failing?

That’s the dilemma for those who have an idea they want to pursue!

America was built and continues to grow with ideas pursued.

There’s always an emotional price to be paid by the risk taker and loved ones.

No pursuit that’s worthwhile is ever easy!

The risk taker is not looking for easy.

He/she is looking for results!

The Story Of The Wedding Guest!

The Parable of the wedding guest. Luke 14:7-14

The guests are advised to take the lowest seat so the host will call them to a higher, more honorable place.

The lesson is that humility leads to exultation while self-promotion leads to public shame.

In modern times, the male ego is the culprit.

Be careful of how people perceive you.

Perception is more powerful than fact!
