MY NEWBIE IS SHOWING

Day18: Learning and Heaven in one post. Yea, you

From the War Chest...





You have to learn a new skill. Do you prefer to read about it, watch someone else do it, hear someone describe it, or try it yourself?





I think I have proven in more ways than I can count that I cannot follow instructions to save my life. The best way and only way that works for me is to listen to someone explain what to do while I am doing the hands on part.


I do this for others I teach as well and have been told that they love my teaching style because it works and they remember it. I teach by standing beside them or take a phone call and telling them one step at a time. It is harder over the phone because they have to relay back what they are seeing and doing and I have to pretend it makes sense.


But the one thing you can count on me for is this: I have the attention span of a gnat. Watching someone else do it never works, I am off in la-la land and then get yanked back to reality. It’s not fun for either of us. Trying it without instruction leads to a bigger mess than I started with. Teach and do at the same time is the only way to go.





Prompt: What does "Heaven On Earth" mean to you?


Only the best song Belinda Carlisle ever put out. Sing with me.


Oh, baby do you know what that's worth?


Oh, Heaven is a place on Earth.


They say in Heaven, love comes first


We'll make Heaven a place on Earth
