It has been a bitter-sweet week.
Alas, the myriads of myriads of cicadas have peaked. Their daily din has diminuendoed from fortissimo to forte to piano.
Just in time for myriads of students to concentrate on their exams, a bit late for myriads of others.
Those who didn't pass, I recommend you blame it on the cicadas and ask for a retest.
It's a once-in-seventeen-years excuse!
Every year, it seems to me there are several kinds of tests, both in school and in life:
A. A memory test - how many facts can you accurately recall?
B. A writing test - how well and fast can you write under pressure?
C. A character test - how well can you maintain your cool under pressure?
D. A thinking test - how well can you synthesize and apply the information you learned to a new situation?
E. An alacrity test - how well can you overcome your laziness and hit peak performance?
(I suppose that some tests combine two or more of the above.)
Questions for your table....
Do you excel at any of the above?
Can you improve at any of the above?
Do you want to?
Shabbat Shalom
PS we are in the process of finding a cover design for the forthcoming Torah Health and Fitness book and would love your help. If you would like to look at 10 submissions and vote on the best, please send me an email and let me know!
