"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."

-- Mahatma Gandhi

Jay Cross, in his webinar on Interwise, told of a study that tested which group would have higher test scores: the ones who received an essay and the instructions "Read this. You will be tested." Or, the ones that received the instructions "Read this. It may or may not be true. You will be tested."

An interesting thing has occurred. The words �purple loosestrife� have been permanently attached to the visual image of the flower, so that every time I see it, I think �purple loosestrife.� I used to think �what is that flower?�. But after blogging about it, learning stuck.

Every summer these purple flowers bloom. And, try as I might, every summer I forget their names. That won't happen again because I will post their name here in my blog. Gee, blogging as a memory tool. Cool.
