Learning Affirmations
Eager to Know

A group of Magnet School teachers and administrators, who were attending a conference to learn how to improve their schools, were invited to recall their fondest learning experience: a time when they really "got it!" Then they were asked to describe this experience using only one word.

These were people whose life work is dedicated to inspiring their love of learning in others. This is their list of inspired single words about their favorite learning experience. With such enthusiasm, there may yet be hope for the shape of education in America today.

This latest Aphorism mini-book gives rise to a most heartening list of positive attributes of the human condition. People have an inborn quest for knowledge; a desire to learn all there is to learn about in our short lifetimes. The passion of these educators inspires us to encourage others in the exciting process of learning.

Who could fail to be energized by keywords such as Awesome! Fantastic! Enlightening! Marvelous! Splendiferous! Imagine if we kept words such as these close to our heart. There would be no room for stress.
