Comment on Adventures in Teen Driving by Tahlia Newland

The terrific thing is we don’t have to drive them around anymore and the terrifying things we have to just let pass through our minds and be gone. When my daughter got her license I decided that I just had to trust that she’d be ok and if something happened, I’d deal with it then. As for getting older – ouch.

Nicole:
I don’t know where you live, so this may not work.
Around the country, there are special schools (we have one about 60 miles away, there were 2 outside of the Long Beach area where I lived) that specialize in training new (typically, teenage) drivers. They are courses that challenge the assumptions (including the “I am invincible” attitude) of new drivers.
They are put into situations that challenge their abilities, they get trained in evasive (not Spy v. Spy, but a car heading for you on a one-way street, a car passing a red light) maneuvers, and the like.
The key learning point is the new driver UNDERSTANDS their limitations- what they can and cannot do. To steal the MasterCard tagline- Priceless!

Nicole,

Thank you very much for the nice words. And Congratulations on taking what you learned (were reminded of) and putting it into immediate action! That’s what we like to see.

The key to any training/education is not just to learn but to apply so we LOVE it when someone rushes right out and takes action.

We look forward to seeing you (and your readers ) at more classes in the future.

Have an AMAZING day,
Cindy

Hey Nicole,

Excellent post. Being forced to earn your worth teaches responsibility, initiative, focus, and a work ethic that’s hard to find these days.

No, it is not debilitating. It is a challenge though, in many areas of life.

dyslexia is not that debiliating but it is somewhat limiting to the kind of job that you can get~*~

Comment on Returning Phone Calls by Billy

Billy — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 14:21:22 +0000

Personally I find sometimes calls can be such good conversation whether business or catching up with an old friend, other things don’t get done. I find there is a fine line of discipline between making sure things are done to a standard and also having a nice amount of time to return calls and also make calls to people. Nice post

Comment on Know your facts by Billy

I totally agree with you Nicole.
1. It looks silyl when someone has an oppinion about something when you know yourself it is false.
2. Emotion is just down to someones oppinion and how it makes them feel. there is nothing wrong with that, but it should not be mistaken by the truth or proper explination or reason.
