Citatul zilei

"Dacă vrei să îi conduci pe oameni, păşeşte în spatele lor"(Lao Tzu)

Education: Importance of Peers



The most valuable part of your education is your peers-network, says Kawasaki. He recommends that students develop and maintain relationships while they are in school.

How Do You Find Your Passion and How Do You Pursue It? (Stanford)



Instead of thinking about the passion, expalins Komisar, free yourself to think of a portfolio of passions. Marry this portfolio with the opportunities in front of you, he says. Think of it as a quest towards which you are moving in the right direction, he adds.


Pyramids, Not Ladders (Stanford)



In this clip, Carol Bartz points out that young workers needn't be afraid of a lateral career move. Ambition often focuses only on upward motion, whereas well-rounded experience in a number of departments - sales, marketing, or customer service, just to name a few - gives a career a solid foundation. Ladders are unstable, Bartz says, but pyramids have depth, safety, and strength.

Dan Puric- A fi cu adevărat creştini

Frumosul românesc - Dan Puric



Cuvânt rostit cu ocazia concertului caritabil "Seara de colinde" organizat de Compania de teatru Passe-Partout Dan Puric având scopul de a strânge fonduri pentru Centrul de Îngrijiri Paliative Sf. Irina - Voluntari.

Citatul zilei

“Cand esti multumit sa fii tu insuti si nu te compari sau nu concurezi, toti oamenii te vor respecta. Pentru ca a-i cunoaste pe ceilalti inseamna intelepciune dar a te cunoaste pe tine este iluminare. A-i conduce pe altii cere putere dar a te conduce pe tine cere tarie”.(Lao Tzu)

Revista Excelenţa te invită să descoperi "Copiii binecuvântaţi"

Revista Excelenta prezinta in al VI-lea numar o serie de reportaje speciale despre realitatile conditiilor spirituale si sociale ale copiilor daruiti. Misiunea reporterilor revistei Excelenta nu s-a terminat aici. Vor prezenta in exclusivitate in cadrul evenimentului de lansare a proiectului primului Centru Gifted Education din Romania din 16 aprilie 2009 adevaratele istorii ale copiilor supradotati din Romania. Revista Excelenta, aflata la al VI-lea numar relateaza in premiera viata de zi cu zi a unor copii a caror istorie le-a fost parca un film prea lung de incercari la o varsta si asa frageda.

Povestile lor sunt atat de asemanatoare si atat de triste. Unii n-au decat mama, altii nu au decat tata, altii sunt atat de saraci, incat nu au ce manca. Fiecare dintre povestile lor ar merita sa fie spusa, fiecare dintre chipurile lor ar merita o fotografie, fiecare dintre gesturile lor marunte ar merita povestit. Sunt unii dintre ei care picteaza extraordinar, sunt altii care canta. In fiecare clipa ramanem mirati de felul in care vorbesc, senin, fericit, deschis. Suntem patrunsi de bucuria lor exploziva, rasul lor care umple lumea. Viitorul lor nu poate dobandi certitudine din egoism, ura, zgarcenie, violenta, din navala intereselor materiale, personale sau colective, ci din credinta care deschide calea spre iubire, adevar, lumina. Florian Colceag, expert international in educatia copilului supradotat ne atentioneaza insa ca „oamenii incep sa caute persoanele supradotate numai in caz unui pericol caruia nu-i pot face fata, in cazul unei crize datorata unei probleme tehnice al carui raspuns nu-l pot gasi sau in conditiile de sinceritate totala dinaintea unei catastrofe de proportii, cand au nevoia leadership-ului unor oameni lucizi si responsabili, sau uneori, cand iubesc”.

Revista EXCELENTA invita toti tinerii cu talent, cu varsta de pana in 18 ani sa participe la competitia care in 16 aprilie 2009, va invita castigatorul in calitate de AMBASADOR al Centrului Gifted Education sa sustina propriul discurs la Bucuresti in cadrul Evenimentului de lansare in Romania a proiectului primului Centru Gifted Education, centru non-profit privat si independent, in amfiteatrul „Ion Heliade Radulescu” al Bibliotecii Academiei Romane, Calea Victoriei 125. Evenimentul va include si lansarea proiectului consultativ de audit al planului de dezvoltare pentru centru, prin colaborare cu Central European University Business School si John Hopkins University Carey Business School. Detaliile asupra evenimentului vor urma.

Cele mai importante titluri ale editiei sunt:

  • Copiii supradotati si lumea adultilor
  • Nivelele dezintegrarii pozitive
  • Copiii lui Dumnezeu
  • Calea mantuirii prin suferinta
  • Micile genii si media
  • Casa binecuvantata cu 160 de ingeri
  • Am fost in „Castalia” - Educatia de excelenta va face posibil frumosul joc al inteligentelor multiple, si in Romania
  • Membru de excelenta la World Council for Gifted and Talented Children
  • Akiane Kramarik: „Inspiratia vine de la Dumnezeu”
