Make Education Worth the Time

New Year’s Day, What I Read.

Posted on | January 3, 2010 | No Comments

Leading up and out of New Year’s day I was consumed by the book, ‘The Road’.

Give the book a glance.

I think ‘The Road’ might be one of the most personally instructive (by way of reminding me what I have) book’s I have picked up in a long time.

The Road (Oprah's Book Club)

I had not followed this book as an Oprah selection, I just happened upon it and it could not have been a more fitting read to bring in the New Year.

What is 2010 going to be about?

Hope, Innovation, Using what you have, Conversation, Love, Trust, Change, Challenge, New Reality…

And what isĀ  ‘the Road’ about, well all of the above!

Sure the context of ‘The Road’ and my 2010 are a bit different, but the goals are really very similar.

What are my goals?

To make sense of the changing environment and take advantage of the opportunity presented to make the environment, the greater living environment both physical and psychological, better for as many people as possible. I think the 1st step is making practical education available to all who want it. Education in a new way!

Get a taste of the movie made from the book, I think it frames the ideas above. Everything needs to be re-thought!

Watch the movie trailer on Vimeo.

So what do we need in 2010?

Hope, Innovation, Using what you have, Conversation, Love, Trust, Change, Challenge, New Reality… and you and I know what we need to do and actually we know how to do it.

So start and don’t be afraid!

When you think it impossible to do what we know needs to be done read ‘The Road’ or watch the movie as many times as it takes for you to just get on with things!
