This Ted Ed talk was inspired by my wife who is taking a test for her teaching credential today. Good luck, dear!
All of us get a little nervous before taking a test, wondering if we studied the right material, will remember what is important, and ultimately do well. Watch this Ted Ed talk to discover what happens in our brains when we are stressed out.
I hope you are having a terrific Tuesday!
Until next time…

We all get sick from time-to-time. I tend to get sick when temperatures fluctuate in the spring and the fall. The signal for me is a scratchy throat. For you it may be a headache or some digestion issues. Regardless, once we get sick we get headaches, tired, lose our appetite and all the rest. Check out today’s Ted Talk for some interesting information about our body’s immune response to sickness.

Think about how many things have changed throughout your life. It’s interesting. I retired early to move back home and help out my folks, who are both in their senior years, particularly my Dad who is suffering from Dementia. When I see a VCR player in their basement, I realize how important it is for all of us to remain prepared for change. How many of you still use a VCR or even a DVD player? I realize that DVDs are still going to be with us for a while, but most of us stream our content. My recent laptop has no DVD player, because of this recent change in how we consume content–streaming. Manufacturers are building out laptops for streaming content only. I still have an external DVD drive, which was really cheap (about $29) to play DVDs when I need to, but the trend is that DVDs, CDs, and the like are more than likely on their way out at some point in the future.
Watch this short Ted Talk, which discusses how a tech investor evaluates the founders she may give her capital to. She doesn’t look for IQ or EQ. She looks for AQ. You’ll have to watch this Ted Talk to find out what AQ means.
Until next time…
