Welcome to my online diary. These posts are impressions from my life. I guess in some ways, for some people, they could be construed as genius while for others, utter boredom ;) Either way, I think and edit before I publish, you can count on that. I hope you find it a good read.

I've been blogging siince December of 2006 and become quite into the subculture and business of it. If you'd like to read more about me, please visit my online resume and drop me a line. Enjoy DATSOL!

The W.I.N. Philosophy

Well, I start back teaching tomorrow. It’s been an incredible summer with a trip to Vegas, to Magic Mountain, and several other small awesome places that my wife and I adore. My kids were out by the pool all summer which was really gratifying to watch. It makes all the hard work really worth it when you see your kids lost in the fun of it.

I’m going back to work (well, I did teach summer school for 6 weeks so it’s not like I was 100% off) tomorrow with a mantra and the W.I.N. philosophy. It stands for “What’s Important Now.” In teaching one is constantly bombarded with new demands and deadlines and sometimes it gets downright overwhelming. By focusing on the “WIN,” you are more effective over the course of a year. This could apply to anyone anywhere but it really helps me as a teacher. I use it in my blogging work as well.
