Time vs. Wishes

2011-09-11T18:04:00.001-07:00

When you cannot stretch time, you have to shrink your wishes--otherwise you lose both!

APPS!

Though I do not believe in his theory, if Darwin is alive in this age of technological determinism where there is an "App" for everything, he would have changed his theory of evolution to: "...we are evolving from Apes to Apps"!

Many of the friends who read my post on the new evolution from Apes to Apps, thought that I need to copyright this line. Here I do:

"From Apes to Apps!" Or "Apes to Apps!" or "Apes àApps!" Or "Apes 2 Apps"

the soul

2011-05-25T18:23:00.000-07:00

Yes, mind over body works, however, it works better when you add a spiritual dimension to it:

Mind over body, and soul on top of them all!

The irony of success!

Often, you are not evaluated based on your outstanding contributions; rather you are evaluated based on what your evaluator is lacking!

Change!

2009-07-08T16:24:00.000-07:00

If you do not change, events will change around you; the excellence of yesterday could be the disaster of tomorrow if you do not appreciate and embrace change!

Change is much more pleasant when you go to it; not when it surprises you.

AGENDA RESETTING!

2009-06-23T10:50:00.000-07:00

The long established agenda setting function of the media is changing however, not in the direction that the media desire! Social media are taking over in resetting the agenda. The new social media are defining the salience and pertinence of events.

Human v. Criminal

2009-05-22T10:55:00.000-07:00

To do wrong is human; to accuse somebody else of your wrong doing is criminal!

On teaching: tips for colleagues

2007-07-22T20:25:00.000-07:00

•Listen to students and they will teach you how to teach them.

•Remember and tell your students: No body knows everything, however, every question can be researched and this is their role and, of course, yours.

•If you do not fill in the blanks students will fill in the blanks from their suspicions.

•Play both roles: leader and team player: a leader is a team player.

•Give credit even for little things.

•Remember that kind words can reach further than strong ones even if the situation is frustrating.

•Many times, the weak projects power and arrogance; use counter psychology.

•If an idea is clear to you this does not mean it is necessarily clear to the students.

•Build their self confidence then build their learning strategy. Self confidence is the road to learning, lack of confidence will lead to busy learning!

•Rules should not be written in stone—many times they need to be rewritten—for tomorrow!

•Try different approaches; do not get stuck in the concept: do not fix it if it does not work.

•You will do what you love when you love what you do.

•Involve the weak by asking questions they can answer.

Theme from Selfeese book by A.K. Sinno

2007-07-11T21:35:00.000-07:00

A delicious meal is good for one meal time; good health however, is good for a lifetime! One time versus lifetime is your choice--think before you eat.

Outlook

Fear is the other side of courage; both flippable! Abdul Sinno

Selfease or Selfeese

2007-06-13T05:55:00.000-07:00

"Slefease" or "Selfeese", (like in Japanese, Chinese, etc) refers to self language: The language I need to communicate with myself! I came up with this term as it clearly connotes and denotes the concept of self communication.
Often times, we succeed in communicating with others but fail to communicate correctly with ourselves--simply because we do not know the optimal language of doing such.
Look out for my forthcoming (within the next few months) book Selfease. A book in behavior modification--do it yourself model.
