Top Things Adults Should Know

Have you been around with adults who seem to have learned nothing in their entire life? Well, I have seen some of these adults. In fact, I’m friends with some of them. While there can be sensible causes for such a condition, any adult must not use them as ultimate excuses for not aiming to learn. Below is a short list of the things people must know or able to do once they reach adulthood.

1)    Create fire – With natural disasters happening here and there, you’ll never know when you’re going to need your skills in fire making. Talk to a scout master or camping assistant who can teach you so. If you can’t find one, there are always instructional videos online.

2)    Drive a car – Driving is an important skill. You can save a family member who is serious danger if you can drive him to the nearest hospital. In connection to this, you must also know how to boost your car and change flat tires.

3)    Live frugally – I know people who are always in a shopping free. Most of them ended literally poor when they lost their jobs. By being frugal – saving as much money as you can – you will be able to support yourself and/or your family during tough times.

4)    Care for another person – Yes, there are people who grow old caring for themselves only. Giving others love and care can help you mature in all aspects of life. By doing so, you are pushing yourself to the limits and you will be surprised how strong and reliable you are as an adult.

Online Classrooms vs. Physical Classrooms

Going to school means sleepless nights for learners as they do their assignments and prepare everything they need so they won't be late for class. Everyday commute is one of the tough stuff every student needs to take care of, especially if they don't have a car of their own. If you live in a place where there is high traffic all the time, then you need to prepare all the more. That's for those who go to out to attend traditional schooling. The case is totally different for those who attend online education. You just need to study your lessons, do your assignments and post these on your virtual bulletin board, and take breaks from time to time, without waiting for the bell to ring. You can study in your pajamas, no need to hop in the car and drive long hours. Now that's a different way to go to school isn't it? There's a huge difference when it comes to virtual and traditional education. You just need to pick which one works best for you. Both allows you to ...

On Real Books And Ebooks

I may have been a fan of the traditional book, but I cannot deny the fact that I also love to read books using my Kindle especially when I travel. This offers a lot of convenience on my end because I do not need to carry a full bag of books, I just have to bring my electronic book reader with me when I go out. :) But when I prefer to stay at home especially during weekends and holidays, I still hold a real book. That enables me to save on electricity costs as well, since I need to charge my Ebook reader so I can use it again as opposed to the traditional book . With the real one, you can just flip the pages and not worry about grabbing the charger next to you. All you need is a well lit place so you can read the contents. What about you? Which would you prefer? A real book or an electronic one?
