The Lunar New Year is a great time to talk about the Chinese Zodiac. As you probably already know, this year is the Chinese year of the horse. The Chinese zodiac, unlike the western, is represented by years and not months. Each year is represented by 12 animals. 

The 12 animal signs are: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. A lot of people like to use this to predict personality type, what will happen to their career, love life or financial situation.

To find out what animal you are, look up your birth year on the to your left. For example, if you were born in 1995, you must be born the year of the pig.

By knowing what animal you are, it is easy to find out about your personality type. What animal are you? Do you believe it's true about your personality?

What Is The Best Way To Learn?

Have you ever been in a meeting or a class where all the presenter did was talk, talk, and talk? I'm sure most of you have. You probably listened and took down some notes but did you learn or remember anything?

A famous American psychiatrist, William Glasser spent most of his life studying human behavior. He says that the least amount of learning happens through reading, but can you guess where the most amount of learning happens?

Glasser believed that the most learning happens when we teach something to someone else.

Glasser had a profound impact in the field of education and has shaped the way in which teachers teach and manage their classrooms.

Years ago when I was still in school getting my graduate degree, one of my last classes was Instructional Methods which required me to examine and teach a topic to my peers. My topic was on formative assessments in the classroom. Not only did I have to try and provide my learners as much "doing," "seeing," "hearing," and "experiencing," the whole process of teaching others helped me remember so much more about my topic than just reading from a textbook.

So whatever you learn today or tomorrow, teach, share, and discuss with someone! It's the best way to learn!
