Bengaluru: While most in the city drew the curtains on 2018 on a high with New Year parties and festive get-togethers, a section of Bengalureans opted for a more relaxing way to end the year by queuing up at spas in the city.

Contributor Jodie Cook writes: "My favorite Greek word is 'euthymia.' The word, as defined in Seneca's essays means:
Believing in yourself and trusting you are on the right path, and not being in doubt by following the myriad footpaths of those wandering in every direction.
I believe that if you don't define exactly who you are and what you want to achieve, you will become so side-tracked that you end up pursuing other people's interests, short-term goals, or you will carry out actions that don't progress your journey.
Here are four ways you can be side-tracked along with the ways to avoid it happening to you.

 I recently met with a prospect who told me about his grand plans to grow his business. I listened intently while he described his vision. Surprisingly, he never mentioned his people. When he was done speaking, I responded by saying, "A brand is nothing more than a promise. What if your people can’t deliver on your promise?" He looked at me for a minute, and then realized it was going to take more than a plan to hit his key metrics. Are you in a similar situation — grandiose plans and no specificity regarding how you are going to achieve these numbers? If so, read on.

You can tell it's exam week when you see countless students standing outside the exam room trying to take advantage of some last minute cramming. We wonder how much of this information they are about to regurgitate has contributed to their knowledge of the subject. Is what we're "teaching" actually learned? Are we teaching in a way such that students can apply what is learned?
To answer these questions, we decided to use the Zull's four pillars of learning (Zull 2002) and engage the entire learning cycle into our lesson plan.

The gift of my fifth year of teaching was patience.
Every year something new occurs to me as an educator, and for year five it was the insurmountable scale of process. This was partly a response to beginning to see the things that were in my control, and the things that were not. To see the sequence between this thing and that place with that student clarified it all quickly.
