I checked out several of the titles on the extra credit reading list from the library and having been working my way through them. As I've made notes on the insights provided by each author, I have had a deep sense of gratitude for the learning and self-improvement opportunities I have been granted. Not every one is so fortunate.
As the semester comes dangerously close to finals, I will try to keep a perspective of gratitude. Millions of people would love to have the opportunity to earn a university degree. I hope someday to provide easier access to educational resources to the masses. Perhaps this hope is what draws me to libraries. I always leave those hallowed halls with a cheerier outlook on society.
Angela, I'd love to hear your ideas about providing education to the masses. That would be so wonderful, wouldn't it?!! I just got started on reading Leadership and Self Deception and love the ability we have to recognize where we need improvement and make the changes. You're right, it is a great blessing!

ReplyDeleteI love libraries. Their very existence makes me happy. It is so awesome to go to a university that has such an extensive one and yes, I agree that we should all be thankful for the resources it provides. Thanks for sharing!
I am old enough to remember the time without cellphones and computers available to masses. I was raised on books and I am glad I was raised that way.
