Another short posting today, this one on musical intelligence.
As most of us know, many people live for music. They live life via music. They crave it, and express themselves via music. That is musical intelligence and they understand it and use it.
As they say, music is the universal language.
I can hear music, but I can [...]

Okay, brief posting today, as the Memorial Day weekend is just about upon us.
Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence is interesting. This is the intelligence mode in which people express themselves through their body or muscles. They use what could be termed “muscle memory”.

I would like to add a few more thoughts to my last posting, on oralism vs. signing.

Yep, I meant to mention this, but somehow I didn’t do it earlier. Oh well, better late than never!
