Take the time to appreciate the process that is life.

I strongly believe in life-long learning and balance as the key behind good health and happiness for most of us. These both stem from maintaining innate motivation in striving towards ones noble goal. My noble goal is to energize dreams into becoming reality.
I practice emotional intelligence.
I am passionate about authentic learning experiences.
I value and model the rare precious resource of altruism.
I love to network.
I am courageous in attempting different learning strategies aimed at embedding deep, meaningful understanding of subject content.

I am an avid Evertonian and play football socially, although in recent years most of my spare time has been spent running. I have completed a few ultra marathons, been a 4-hour Singapore Sundown marathon pacer and I trek in mountains when I can; I recently began learning to rock climb and practice Ashtanga yoga.
Here are some quotes that have deeply touched me:
"Two things define you. Patience when you have nothing and attitude when you have everything." Unknown.
"Spending time with children is more important than spending money on children." Anthony Douglas Williams - Inside the Divine Pattern.
"It is very easy to defeat someone, but it is very hard to win someone." Dr Abdul Kalaam.
"If the purpose for learning is to score well in a test, we've lost sight of the real reason for learning."
Jeannie Fulbright
"The best day of your life is the one
on which you decide your life is your own.
No apologies or excuses.
No one to lean on, rely on, or blame.
The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins."
Bob Moawad
