Jr Achievement

Tuesday Sept  15 2020

We TAMUSA partnered with Jr Achievement last semester in our experiential classes.

F2F is not possible this semester. JA helps educate pubic school kids about business.

Mysti provided a link to illustrate how you might help.

I have also included a link to a video about virtual volunteering you could show to them. (https://youtu.be/4PF30svMjio)

 

JAST is looking for college students like yourself to record messages which could be played in those classrooms without visiting in person.

Here is a chance to burnish your resume and help TAMUSA continue its mission on the south side of SA.

Let me know of your interest.

Sal Khan on Distance Learning

Weekend Sept 7 2020

Salman Khan gave the on line learning movement the big leap forward with Khan Academy.

Now due to the pandemic everyone is being home schooled.

He recommends, what a concept, stay with the basics, read write math in short sessions.

And if this goes on for a full school year it probably permanently alters the education landscape.

Sylvester Stallone on Success

Wed August 26 2020

Like Arnold S,  Stallone with nothing. He wrote every Rocky script himself.

Take a listen on his advice for success.

Arnold Schwarzenegger on Success

Wed August 26 2020

this is a great motivational speech by Arnold.

Seriously take a listen.

Note this video ha over  8 milllion views.

 

Here are his rules for success.

1) Have goals, purpose, and visions. 2) Don't listen to the naysayers or doubters. 3) We have to work our ass off and advertise. 4) Don't have a backup plan. We function better if there is no safety net. 5) Never doubt yourselves. 6) Everyone fails and losers stay down. To be a winner we have to fail, we have to never be afraid of failing, we have to never stay down, and we have to get up continuously. 7) Being relaxed and giving it everything we have is the best way to perform. 8) Help out others and give back to the world.

Notice number four, no  back up plan. If you have a back up plan you are liable to do just that, back up.
