Last night I was going through some old CD-ROM’s of files from the computers I have owned over the years and I found a little Brain Function executable program that asks you a series of twenty seemingly disjointed questions and evaluates your answers to tell you what kind of learner and person you are.

With complete reverence to the Bible version, I put together eleven sacred principles that I hope will guide my actions in my life.

I recently read this very short tome from author Glen Clark, The Man Who Tapped the Secrets of The Universe. It clocks in at 61 pages and is a read that can be completed in an hour or so, my kind of book.
