Lessons from the dog!

Lessons from the dog

For long dogs have been falsely accused of eating the homework, we don’t really mind it as long as it saves our young friends from the teacher’s ire 🙂

Good old Calvin had quipped, “I go to school, but I never learn what I want to know.” I have always believed that teaching isn’t restricted to classrooms and lectures, real learning happens in the open world.  If we look closely, we can learn from everybody and everything around us. Here, I would like to share an email forward on lessons from the dog.

    1. Paw-five!

      Finally, we have a humble human who accepts and celebrates the canine cerebrum! 🙂
      I have been living with this kid Calvy my entire life and yet he is not living by these lessons…what to say? The generation we have today:)

  1. ‘Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride.’ – very true. We often hesitate to grab a joyful ride due to over logical reasoning (even I do). Thanks for this post – I shall make it a point to enjoy each moment, joyfully. 🙂
    P.S: I miss my handsome pup now 🙁
