Innovative Americans
I find the Americans very innovative and practical when it comes to things like getting a drivers license; e.g. the Colorado driver education. At US$99 a pop, you get 3 CDs; 2 for the learner and 1 for the learners’ parents (multimedia, audio, text, video, the works). Children and parents can then learn/teach about driving — preparing the learner for written and practical driving tests. Mind you, these materials are not some ebook that you buy off eBay but State approved education materials.
Take me for comparison, when I took my driving education and license, I had to have my parents drive me 60km (approximately an hour’s drive one way) to the nearest big town to have me educated and tested. Thinking back, what a waste of time and resources. Unlike me, the Coloradians are able to purchase all relevant Colorado driver education materials online and have their parents teach them. It didn’t matter if they resided in the city or in the interior.
Now, that is why what I said the Americans are innovative and practical.
Me Petty? Not for a Door Handle
I am really into my home office project, am I not? 3 consecutive blog posts about converting my guest room into a home office. This blog post is quite important to me because I intend to replace my door handle with one of those beautifully polished lever handles. As you can observe from the picture below, you will notice a drastic difference. Isn’t it much nicer and more like an office?
I spoked to my wife about this idea and she said I was petty. Petty? Me? Absolutely not. Imagine the drastic change from a homely door to a professional, modern and designer-ish door. I believe this change is definitely going to be worth the money. Clients (if they visit my home office) would also appreciate the difference as it will demonstrate that I serious about my work and vocation. Don’t you think so?
