I've been giving this some more thought. I checked online and the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the average amount of job changes between the ages of 18-50 is 12. That's consistent what why my career was. I would say 'don't panic' if you don't know what you don't know. It is easy for me to say...

Very interesting comment on 'looking back with fond memories but remorse for not having the opportunity to continue.' I have felt the same way on a few occasions throughout a very long career. It was both satisfying and sad...sounds contradictory, but it's not. I guess it's all part of the...

What a great story! Your enthusiasm as you describe it is so genuine! There is such a need in Special Education for the support and interest you have shown. Is it something you have ever considered pursuing? What a novel approach to using a stuffed parrot to get rid of the jitters on morning...

The four key dimensions that ae used in the Myers Briggs Temperament Inventory to describe individuals preferences are presented as a dichotomy, or an either/or choice between two styles of being. We know them as Introversion or Extraversion, Sensing or Intuition, Thinking or Feeling, Judging or...

An example: My wife and I wrote a play on the history of the Underground Railroad in Southeast Indiana. As I researched the history, it went from Southeast Indiana to a larger picture of the history of slavery in the United States, then to England, then to Portugal, and then to Africa in the...

I write and do a lot of research. I often have a hard time knowing when to stop getting more details. I know I need to put boundaries around it all, but getting more details feels almost addictive.

Ironically, my daughter has taught for 20 years in elementary schools. We've had hours of conversation about all of this. Some of the thoughts that have come out of those include: 1) Most teachers are like most other professionals. They are outstanding in their field, they work very hard, often...
