A Little Time Please?

My desire to read unfortunately outweighs the time I can designate to this past time activity. Whenever I get a chance, there is a lot I want to read and learn about, but I can not name anything specific right now. Some of what I want to learn pertains more to my study of media than others, but all will help formulate my thoughts and beliefs, which can only make me a stronger, more confident individual.

Traveling the world has made learning another language something that is important to me. I've decided Spanish will be most beneficial to me. America is heavily influenced by the Latin population, and I can only think ahead of what this advantage can bring me. A business with workers who speak multiple languages allows communication with more people, which of course will put an advantage above other companies who are limited to just English. I think Spanish is a good base to European languages, and considering I love to travel, and hope to travel while I'm working, a second language is a must.

Lipton brought up a study he did on the effect of the use of words on people. Considering I'm getting into the world of talk, I think this would also be something beneficial to me.

I want to further my "tech-ie" side and learn how to wow people through visual images. A strong concept and a strong image, will combine to form a winning strategy.

I want to further my understanding of astrology. I want to study why and how the placement of the planets affect who we are, and why some days are better than others to accomplish specific things.

I want to read Biographies- of no one in particular, just someone interesting, which I think, is really everyone. Biographies, being very personal, can draw you in, allowing you to experience the life and thoughts of someone else . I think they are a great way to study, understand and re-live history. It's fascinating to see the similarities and differences of someone else's point of view of the world.

I want to study what is known about homeopathic medicine. I'm currently seeing two doctors with two different points of view, and need the knowledge to make my own decisions for my own health.

There's so much I want to learn about and do 'after school.' Hopefully I'll be able to put a dent in this list over the Christmas break, and contunue learning, shoveling the shit, to discover what means the most to me.
