Secret song
Ever find something hidden on a CD?
I was listening to a CD at home and it was on the last song. Then I walked away to do something else. When I came back, I expected the CD to be finished, but instead, a song was playing. I thought maybe it went back to song 1 but then I saw it was still on 11, and in another language. I turned it off but then decided to go back to it. I fast forwarded song 11 to the end and waited for the other one. A couple minutes later the other one appears. It was song 9 done at a concert and in another language. Interesting.

that was fast

Can you believe it's almost 2008? I remember when it was 1997 and I was thinking about years past. It's amazing how fast time flies. We should cherish the moment while it lasts

Remember Recess
Remember in elementary school when it was time for recess. Finally, we can have fun before we need to go back. I was thinking recently about what a former teacher of mine from college said a long while ago about what some public schools are doing to recess.
Recently, I was looking at some articles and found that some schools have reduced it and some even got rid of it.
They want to bring up test scores and academic excellence in general. They figure that if kids spend more time in class doing school work and studying, they will learn more and do better in school. What they don't understand is that by reducing or taking away recess, they will actually do the opposite of what they want to accomplish. If kids don't get enough opportunity to release their energy, they won't be able to concentrate in class, and they won't be able to learn. Instead, the teacher is now trying to get the kids to behave and pay attention. Of course, there are always times when the teacher needs to get the kids to behave. However, if the kids don't get recess, their dis behavior goes up because they are anxious to get their energy out.
They still have PE because that is a requirement so the kids get exercise. But it's not the same because even though they are getting exercise, it's still a class. Where as with recess, kids can just hang out and socialize. They need the social skills that come with interacting with each other during recess. It's not noticeable, but they are learning, even during recess.
Fortunately, many people are advocating to keep recess. Hopefully, they'll be successful.

Time, the best gift
In this video message, this person mentions that the best gift we can give to our spouse and children is the gift of time.
The Ultimate Gift
Especially nowadays, we need this because many people work long hours. Then they come home and go busy themselves with other things. This message is deffinately something we could all consider; both those who have their own family now, and those who will in the future.
