Then begin the first shaky steps of the toddler which is the proudest moment for any parent. Eventually, the child learns to take firm steps and starts walking. In a similar way, learning to ride a scooter is a stepwise process. In the end, when you set out to learn anything, including riding a scooter, remember that “Practice makes perfect...
Bicycle Helmets - From Foam to Carbon Fiber
When I was young, I had some very strong objections to wearing my bicycle helmet. It was heavy, made my head hot, messed up my hair and didn't look cool! Despite my numerous complaints, my parents refused to let me ride my bicycle without my helmet. I suppose they were concerned with silly things like my physical safety. The fact of the matter is that bicycle helmets save the lives of people every day. They are the most essential piece of safety equipment a cyclist can wear, and as breakthroughs continue to be made in how to protect cyclists, helmets continue to evolve. As in many other sports, people did not consider safety equipment to be necessary in cycling for a long time. Although the bicycle...
I thought I would write about the subject of Love from Lester's viewpoint. He often said that Love was one of the most often used but misunderstood words in human experience. What Love brings to mind for most of us is that first kiss with our high school sweetheart, or meeting our spouse-to-be for the first time. When we "fall in Love" there is a real chemical cocktail that is uncorked, poured into our blood, and we feel high, giddy , and for a time, the world is a blissful place. We see our beloved bathed in Love-colored hues, and he/she is perfect. I've often thought if they could put this into a pill, we'd have a drug problem of horrendous proportions! Lester said that human Love is totally...

German Rolf Merten (Kokua Holzspielzeug, inventor of the Likeabike) discovered traditional bicycles used by small children, with stabilisers and pedals, actually HAMPER the child's ability to learn to ride.

Getting the balance right... In contrast, the pedal-free like-a-bike is the perfect...
Exponential Self-Improvement - The Ways and Means
"Never wish life were easier, wish that you were better." - Jim Rohn The self-improvement and growth quest is an active process and not a passive one. That's true in nature and it's also true in human nature. Growth implies a struggle to break free from existing conditions and expand in importance and influence in our world. It is also true that to be truly effective and meaningful, growth has to be done against resistance.
