Make an Idea stick like chilli!
We live in a mediated world! We live in an edited world. We live in an environment that is designed. And even the learning process at Wendy’s is put to music and made fun.

Too many education group executives think the best way to deal with decreased revenue and greater demand on fiscal resources is to cut back on teachers, offerings and even supplies.
