Learning about ourselves...

I've been rather remiss in posting recently, because I've been hurriedly watching video lectures on one of the MOOC Coursera courses I signed up for.  




It's called "Know Thyself" and I needed to watch all the lectures before the course went off air.   Ron's been very patiently watching TV with headphones on, so I could concentrate on being a swot every night for the past couple of weeks.

This was a course given by Professor Mitch Green of the University of Virginia,  I absolutely loved it.  He was so interesting, calm, kind, passionate and unassuming and, well, humble.  

It's helped me greatly with my study of what makes us tick and to answer a little more of the questions "who is my "self"?" and "what/how do I want my "self" to be?" 

Much more fun than TV for me, but then "Love of Learning" is one of my top 5 strengths and also a top value.......

I find it a great way to finish my day - stimulating my brain cells with positive energy and learning more about life and myself.......

It brings to mind a quote from Mahatma Gandhi:

"Learn as if you were to live forever."
