Learn from Others

One great life lesson is you can learn from others!  I agree totally with the quote above.  Life is too short to learn all the lessons of life!  Learn from others, and pay attention too who you learn from.  One thing my brother does is he reads about how millionaires made their money.  He wants to be comfortable in life, and I think it is a brilliant idea!

I was on Facebook, and saw an interesting article from a former student.  It was a millionaire giving advice to young people.  He had two pieces of advice.  1. When you graduate from college get any job you can get!  2. When you graduate from college move out of your parents house!  

On a side note I am watching The View, and Chance The Rapper is on.  He just said he studied Dave Chapelle, and the decisions he made in his life.  He owes his success to him!

I could not find the article, but I found another good one.  There are so many so I encourage you to research this on your own!  Learn from these GIANTS!

12 Lessons from a Billionaire 

TED Talk - Tulsa Achieves

I am SO PROUD of Nash!  He was one of my first students, and he has done a TED Talk!!!  Nash works for TCC, and he talks about a great opportunity at TCC.  So not only is he a BTW grad, but this is a great opportunity for you! 

End of An Era at Booker T

Ms. Taylor is retiring after 36 years at the Hive!  She is incredibly loved, and will be terribly missed!  It is SO hard to imagine the Hive without her!  On Friday May 19th Former and current students threw her a surprise party, and Channel 8 was there!  Here is their story!

Ms. Taylor's Surprise Party!!!

On Tyranny

This last week I saw Timothy Snyder talk about his new book on the Daily Show!  It was fascinating due to him being a historian.  He said to understand an idea you must look back!  I loved that idea!  Many people are declaring that Trump is a tyrant.  That is one of his biggest criticism!  His ideas are thought provoking.  I cannot wait to read it!  Below is Synder discussing his book!
