Strengths Finder, Superman, and Baseball

We are in an age that on one hands requires us to develop skills and competencies in area that didn't exist in the 20th century and on the other hand encourages us to be introspective and find our innate passions, desires, and aptitudes.

At best, individuals find ways to integrate the new skills and competencies and their passions in a way that allows them to pay the bills as well as lead a happy and fulfilling life. People used to say, "Those who can, do and those who can't, teach."  I believe this is the type of thinking that has led to the current state of education. There are many working in the realm of education because they have skills, competencies and passions to be in education, but there are still those who are there by default.

Waiting for Superman

I recently watched 'Waiting for Superman' and it made me cry.

I think GW was a great baseball man.  You can see the love of baseball in the way he lived his life. While being elected POTUS was a great achievement and he accomplished a lot while he was in office. I just have to wonder, was he happier in baseball?
