Be prepared to reinforce the good Principles
The theme for this weeks bottom line is taken from Professor Louise Stoll.
She said:
"In a fast changing world, if can't learn, unlearn and relearn, you're lost. Sustainable and continuous learning is a given of the 21st century."
According to the famous US Covey family (the authors of the extremely popular 7 habits of highly effective people series) Principles are invisible laws that rule our known world. Principles are not religious. They do not belong to you or me or a nominated country. They apply equally to everyone, rich or poor, male or female. They cannot be bought or sold. The interpretaion of them around the world adds richness. Generally if you apply them you may excel. If you happens to break one of them, then you are immediately at the mercy of consequences.
Examples of principles are: Love, Honesty, Volunteering, Gratitude, Fairness, Integrity, Loyalty, Quality, Forgiveness, Responsibility, Moderation and Respect. Of course there are more!
Compare and contrast the principles into why the following links in my opinion are of high quality

I am proud to say that I have two friends among many who really understand colour. I quite often quote their works to my students when they are misunderstanding the world. Ross Oscar Knight in Atlanta, USA and Andreas in Sweden, Scandanavia. If you see their web pages it will change your attitude to seeing the world through Rose coloured glasses. These guys are awesome. And certainly most humble when we manage to communicate.
I often remind my students to focus on PRINCIPLES. Study them, refer to them, apply them, for it will enrich their work and ultimately gain higher marks.
In loving memory of Teddy Pendergrass who
taught men real manners back in the days!
