We are the ultimate learning machine

No other animal is so geared to learning as us humans. It is the very one thing we do best.

It is also the very thing we like best. If something captures our imagination and triggers our motivation, there is no stopping us.

We will learn until we can fly to the moon, publish our photos online, do a triple somersault, eradicate small pox or kill our enemy from thousands of miles and hit the target precisely.

We learn to behave, to believe, to cooperate, to socialise, to help, to hinder, to judge, to evaluate. We learn to orient ourselves in space and in time. We learn who to trust and how to deal with money. Some better than others. Why?

2010-03-09 13:11 Sleep would be good ;-) 7 months today, and wondering if I'm ever going to have a solid nights worth of sleep. I never slept through before kids, but ..... thank goodness I have them in my bed. If it weren't for co-sleeping I'd have to actually get up, and if I didn't breastfeed I'd have to get up AND make bottles in the middle of the night. This way it's more like a self-service milk bar and straight back to sleep.
2009-11-17 22:02 I'm trying to be good With half a tub of ice-cream and a baby attached to me in a sling (www.bebecannelle.com) I'm trying to come up with some good ideas for this site. But then again I'm not so sure that 10 in the evening - without having slept for more than 2 hours in a row in months - is a good place to start. If only it were the thought that counts!
2009-05-02 12:25 Saturday at College Teenagers and puberty should be another topic. The hormones and their devastating effect on what was once a lovely, caring and sensible child. The obsession with what the "cool" people think, want and do - no matter that they will not go anywhere if they don't change their attitudes. No matter that none of them will thank my hormone ridden offspring for losing track and giving up what once were her biggest passions. It's absolutely maddening.
