Exciting Presentations for Kids! Book Brad and Duncan today to Inspire Your Kids! to be their best on a daily basis. "Your presentation peaked their interest and rekindled their passion for books and storytelling." -Lisa Hand, Grade 5 Classroom Teacher, Dixie Public School "I have heard reports of mass reading since they got a hold of their books." - Jim Millington, Cub Scout Leader THANK YOU CUB SCOUTS!!! ...for Inviting us to Your Meeting. Duncan and I both had a lot of fun! Remember Duncan's Fantastic Lesson in DrawingI can tell you the drawings you produced were GREAT! ...especially those that didn't even think they could draw. When you are feeling a little down and insecure remember you can put on your... AWESOME GLASSES!...and things will begin to look better. And always Remember How Important Your Thoughts are For Controlling Your Successful Future. Thoughts®Feelings®Actions®ResultsLet's review the above words.
It is important to have positiveThoughts because they lead to positive Feelings. But this is where it gets really, really, really important. Our positive Thoughts and Feelings are important but we need to take positive Actions if we want to improve our Results!Actions are the bridge from our inner world to our outer world. One of the most important things to know is that it's okay to make mistakes. It's True! In fact mistakes help us to learn.
Here's one way to use this formula. If you want better grades in school you could think "I learn easily and well, I learn easily and well" over and over in your head. Then you can imagine what it would be like to have better grades. Imagine right now getting an A+ in something you find difficult. Get into the feeling of it. Can you feel a big smile cross your face? Can you see your teacher's look of admiration? Good, just keep imagining. Now, here's the important part. To unlock the combination to your better grades you could take the formula we learned and use it every day with that subject. That would be your action, the bridge to your results. Here it is again. The formula to unlock the vault of fantastic marks: Reach out toward the safe and start turning the dial. Turn to the Right and stop at 10
Turn to the Left and stop at 24
Turn to the Right and stop at 7
10, 24, 7 are the numbers to unlock your GREATNESS.
Listen here’s the thing…Wouldn't it be great if you didn't feel stressful about learning new material? Well you can do it in only 10 minutes a day (anybody can find 10 minutes a day)! You will soon be soaring to the top of your class. Are you willing to a least give it a shot? GREAT! Lean toward me and pay close attention now... After learning something NEW, if you review the material for 10 minutes within 24 hours and then again for 7-10 days you will retain 80% more of the materials and make the information PERMANENT in YOUR MEMORY. Here it is again: Review new material for: 10 Minutes a day
Within 24 Hours of the learning
For 7 Days in a row
And PRESTO! YOU ARE AN AWESOME STUDENT WITH GREAT MARKS. Here are some more pictures! What did we learn about this exercise? That right! Our THOUGHTS can either empower us or take our power away. Use positive thoughts to make you FEEL better and give you the courage to take ACTION to get better RESULTS. An Open Letter to Students of… - Dixie Public School
- St. Joachim Catholic School Elementary
- St. Marguerite Bourgeoys (at Terry Miller Recreation Centre)
- St. Angela Merici Catholic Elementary
Thank You for Your gracious hospitality!I feel very lucky to have been invited to speak to you about Literacy, “Turning off the Screens”, Enthusiasm, Following Your Dreams…… You were all very Receptive to the ideas I presented! You even shouted out affirmations like, “I am bigger than any obstacle! I always do my best! I like myself!” …and many others. Some of you even received a bookmark with positive affirmations you can use every day to improve your grades, feel better about yourself, and succeed no matter what. For those of you that have not received a bookmark, don’t worry, we’re having more printed! You will get one soon! Of course now we all understand the following equation: Thoughts®Feelings®Actions®Results
Remember the exercise of how our arms get weak when we think negatively and strong when we think positively? And if we want to change our Results we should go back to…what? That’s Right! Our Thoughts. You will also recall how I talked about how every single one of you has a gift inside to offer the world. Through perseverance, positive thoughts, focused attention you can be, have, and achieve anything you want. This I know is true. I sure wish I had this information in Grade 4, 5, and 6. You heard the story of how my first writing assignment was so bad it was not even worthy of a mark. Fortunately, I had great teachers and supporting friends that said, “Keep Going!” when, inside, I felt like giving up. I was so thankful to all of those that helped me stick with my dream that I wrote The Eye of the Storm for you. Take some time and read the story. If you don’t have your own copy, sign one out from the school library. There are two copies there. After you have read the story I would be happy to come back and show you more about the process of story writing using The Eye of the Storm as an example. This will be a great way to learn about story-telling. In closing, I would like to reinforce some of the messages I spoke to you about. Who is responsible for your education? That’s right You Are! Say right now, “I take full responsibility for my own education!” This gives you great power and control. The responsibility you take today is the power you own tomorrow. Of course with this attitude you will get lots of support from your teachers, friends, and family to help you along the way. Always remember: No body is better than you. Some may get better marks, others might be better in sports, or music or whatever; but you can do one thing better than anybody in world. It's your job to find out what that is and work hard to develop it. You do not have to do this alone. Make friends with people that will support you as you support them in their goals and dreams. We saw how our inner dialogue affects our bodies with the arm exercise. It’s just as important to understand that what we say can really impact another person, too. As you learn to speak to yourself in positive ways, remember to always speak to others in kind. Life can be very easy. Just be nice to people. Say things to build them up. Show empathy when somebody is feeling down. Truly, you will start to tap into your inner power when acting in this way. IMPORTANT: If somebody treats you poorly by calling you names or bullying you or anything else that makes you uncomfortable IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. If this happens do not keep it to yourself. Get help. This is not being a snitch or a “rat”. A person that treats people without respect may very well need help, too. You may even be helping that person by telling your parent, teacher, or principal. Thank you for inspirational letters, kind comments, and welcoming spirits. If you have any questions let your teacher or parents know and they can contact me. Sincerely, Brad Hutchinson  |
