To have a friend, be a friend

• Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything. (Muhammad Ali)
• Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them. (Francesco Guicciardini)
• Wishing to befriends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit. (Aristotle)
• The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you. (Elbert Hubbard)
• Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. (C. S. Lewis)
• The language of friendship is not words but meanings. (Henry David Thoreau)

Multiple Intelligences

Dr Howard Gardner developed the theory of ‘Multiple Intelligences’. There are eight kinds of intelligence, not just one. People are intelligent in different ways and therefore they learn things in different ways. Do a test to learn your intelligence types.

Blog Day

Blog Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated by bloggers across the world on August 31. It was first marked in 2005. The date of August 31 was chosen because 3108 (31st day of the 8th month) can be read as “blog”. The concept of the holiday is quite simple. On this day, bloggers are encouraged to recommend five blogs they consider interesting. A recommendation should contain a short description and a link to the recommended blog.
