TIS BULLETIN: 16th April, 2021

Thought for the Week

The person who wins the Nobel Prize in biology is not the person who read the most journal articles and took the most notes on them. It’s the person who knew what to look for. Cultivating that capacity to seek what’s significant, always willing to question whether you’re on the right track, that’s what education is going to be about, whether it’s using computers and internet, or pencil and paper and books.”

~ Noam Chomsky

TIS BULLETIN: 9th April, 2021

Thought for the Week

New goals don’t deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results.
~ James Clear

TIS BULLETIN: 1st April, 2021

Thought for the Week

Books are more likely to change minds than conversations. There is too much happening internally during conversation: Did that sound stupid? What do they think of me? Will I lose the friendship over this opinion? Books can let you chew on an idea without social risk.
~ James Clear

Things that keep talented people from fulfilling their potential:
– Trying to please everyone.
– Imitating the desires of others.
– Chasing status without questioning why.

~ Shane Parris

TIS BULLETIN: 8th January, 2021

The secret to winning is learning how to lose. That is, learning to bounce back from failure and disappointment—undeterred— and continuing to steadily march toward your potential. Your response to failure determines your capacity for success.

~ James Clear

TIS BULLETIN: 11th December, 2020

Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves. All people live in their own dream, in their own mind; they are in a completely different world from the one we live in. When we take something personally, we make the assumption that they know what is in our world, and we try to impose our world on their world.
~ Don Miguel Ruiz

TIS BULLETIN: 4th December, 2020

Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
~ Mark Twain

TIS BULLETIN: 27th November, 2020

A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires.

If you really want to do something, you will find a way. If you don’t, you will find an excuse.
~ Jim Rohn

TIS BULLETIN: 9th October, 2020

The test of a good teacher is not how many questions he can ask his pupils that they will readily answer, but how many questions he inspires them to ask which he finds hard to answer.

TIS BULLETIN: 2nd October, 2020

TIS BULLETIN: 25th September 2020

One life on this earth is all we get, whether it is enough or not enough, and the obvious conclusion would seem to be that at the very least we are fools if we do not live it as fully and bravely and beautifully as we can.
~ Frederick Buechner

TIS BULLETIN: 18th September 2020

~ Des Hasler

TIS BULLETIN: 4th September 2020

TIS BULLETIN: 21st August, 2020

It is vital now more than ever that you focus on accomplishment, not activity.
~ Dr Tommy Weir

TIS BULLETIN: 14th August, 2020

The way to enjoy life is to wrap up one goal and start right on the next one. Don’t linger too long at the table of success, the only way to enjoy another meal is to get hungry.
~ Jim Rohn

TIS BULLETIN: 7th August, 2020

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
