This display near the childrens area caught my eye because I thought it was an innovative idea. I think this will encourage children to pick up a book and read.

051005_018_Fussen_Neuschwantstein_castle

This is "Neuschwanstein Schloss" located in Fuessen, Germany.

Schloss is the German word for castle and it was built by King Ludwig II in 1886.

I visited this castle about 10 years ago in 1998. It was amazing scenery.

Embracing Technology

As far as the 7 1/2 habits of the lifelong learner; I felt strongly about a couple of them.

I think the easiest is that it is NEVER to soon or NEVER to late to try and learn something new. For example, many people who are middle aged decide to make career changes and go back to school.

For me, the hardest point of this tutorial is to embrace challenges and fear instead of feeling helpless or playing the victim-self-pity role. As the saying goes in regards to challenges "What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger.
