This is a video about learning other languages.  The fellow impressed me with his quiet confidence.  I love to hear the rhythm of the different languages as he shifts from language to language.

Students, why not take time to learn about BABBEL, which has free languages online?

ALSO:  Your Net Impact.  www.YOURnetIMPACT.com
This message is aimed at the students of European Leadership School:  Why not post what you just learned?   Capture the leader's message on  your mobile phone.  Then make a second recording....
I just posted a video to a video channel...  


send an email to this address:
video is sent by email to   eds6v3lc8hmr@m.youtube.com 

put the SUBJECT of the video in the SUBJECT of the email


write some words about the video  in the body of the email and attach the video.


the video needs to be LESS than 25 Megabytes to be sent in this method.






Here is a video of some motivating photos....

Suggestions for posting Thoughts for the Day Quickly -- using the "eds" upload via email

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS (suggested) for the Thought for the Day

step 1:  set the video at fairly low size, 320 x 240  or  640 x 480
(so that the video is not too big.  the goal is to capture the sound)
step 2:  record the video

step 3:  get to a wifi zone and send the video in an email message.

email ADDRESS:  eds6v3lc8hmr@m.youtube.com
The email puts the video into the youtube channel.

Instructions for the video uploads for European Leadership School

The "We Are Here To Serve" channel captures the confessions, the stories for the "inner circle" and painful moments ..... 


as well as camera shots with shaky camera movements, bad audio ... items that are not ready for the uninformed general public.   


The concept is similar to a reality tv show:  participants come to this channel to confess, to give personal testimonials and to practice talking.   


The upload email is as follows:   

eds6v3lc8hmr@m.youtube.com      Send shaky uploads directly there.    



Send comments to 


WeAreHereToServeEachOther  at  GMAIL dot com



IF THE VIDEOS are ready for the general public, then connect to QBELeaders@gmail.com and upload the video with "THOUGHT FOR THE DAY#6"  so that the thought can be found easily.


IF THE VIDEOS are not quite ready for the general public,
if the camera work is shaky
if the audio is difficult to hear
if the "confession" 
if the video is for the inner circle (and the circle is wide)

then send the video by email to 


the video needs to be under 25 MEGABYTES

The three reminders



How can I assist you today?


I seek the courage to change the things that I can change

the patience to accept the things that I can't change

the wisdom to know the difference


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serenity_Prayer


The Serenity Prayer is the common name for an originally untitled prayer by the American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr[1] (1892–1971). It has been adopted by Alcoholics Anonymous and other twelve-step programs.
The best-known form is:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.


The original, attributed to Niebuhr, is:
God, give me grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.

Let's create an app to connect students and others to the great TED talks and John Vornle's SpacePathAhead.com


1.  I need someone to read the books that are going to be on the Will Sutherland boats

2.  I need someone to improve the THOUGHT FOR THE DAY essays and provide INDEPTH deeper thoughts for the day

the someone might be you or you might be filtering the information for future SOMEONEs  who will provide these deeper insights and questions.

3.  I need someone to read each book deeply and to MARK at least FOUR PAGES or sections with pen.  Yes, leave your mark in the book.

help the next readers with underlinings, arrows, circles, highlights in color, whatever.   any or only one of the above or make up your own system of highlighting.

4.  Each highlight must have guiding words.   You will rewrite the basic idea in your own words.  you will explain WHY and HOW the passage relates to the GENERAL THEME(s) of the book
You will ask some questions to guide the student’s reflect of the book.   Perhaps you could ask a question like  “At the end of the day, please think about the passage…  What can you add to your understanding of the passage?  Did anything happen today that helps you understand this passage better?   If not, what do you think would make this passage more relevant to your life?"


5.  Please EMAIL your comments to me.   I will make a blog called THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY LEVEL 2    and your post will MIRROR the 21 posts that I have put on the THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY for European school
if you send an email, please send a text to me to say  “HEIY check your email for IPHONE APP “

in other words, i want your thoughts for the day to be woven into an iPhone app.

eventually the app will be turned into an android app too.
simple structure.


The app will guide readers to the books that we have.

the app will guide readers to the websites that I have listed

the app will guide readers to key TED TALKS that I enjoy and deserve higher hits

the app will drive people to see John Vornle’s videos

I want a simple structure and I want you to create the app called
JOHN CORLETTE GLOBAL SKILLS app

I suggest a simple format of 4 to 6 links on each page
