#24 Random Thoughts While the Class Does Math Problems

The last principles of real estate class for 2006 is just about to draw to a close. Here it is Sunday afternoon. We have completed coverning the information in the text material and it is time to look at some math problems. I have found it useful to put them to work in small groups to do the work. There are five separate sections of problems. thre are groups for each of the sections. They will be required to select at least one of the problems from their section and send a representative to the board to explain it. Questions from the group will follow.

It is amazing how many of the students have convinced themselves that they cannot do math. Put them to work in small groups and it seems to come clear to them.

There are 30 people in the class. Thirty people who have come to the conclusion that they need a real estate license. I am sure that not all of them will do so. And that is OK. I hve come to the conclusion that not everyone is here for real estate purposes. They are here to meet someone to exchange information to aid each other in fulfilling life lessons and mission. They may not consciously know whom they have agreed to meet. They may not consciously believe it. It is just my way of looking at the world.

It sort of works the same way in the blogosphere. We stop by certain blogs and come back because there is something there that resonates with us. With that in mind, thanks for stopping by. And an even bigger thanks for taking time to leave a comment. I only regret that I don't have the time to read more blogs and leave comments there.

Now back to the class. The noise level goes up a bit during this sort of exercise. Wha a joy to watch them serving each other in this way. It helps to reinforce my admonitionto them to serve others, care about those you serve, and share the love in your heart.

I am one lucky guy to be able to interact with so many really wonderful folks. I am truly blessed to have this opportunity.
