4 Teachers That Shaped My Life: Tony Dvorak
I often wonder if teachers understand the impact they have on a child’s life and how their words of affirmation or ridicule shape the very person that child will grow to be. In my experience, there are good teachers, poor teachers, tired teachers, and teachers that love what they are doing and teach others to love it as well.
Though I’ve had dozens of teachers in my 17 years of traditional schooling, only three stand far above all the others that I have had. I’m not saying that all of the others were poor teachers – nor am I saying that they were the tired type; I am merely saying that excellence shines far above average.

There will be nervous twitches, a dropped plate of cake and a drink spit across the room mid-gulp. You might have as well said that you were thinking of barbecuing a kitten. (more…)
3 Second Hard-Boiled Egg Peeling (One Handed)
Okay, So you have seen Tim Ferriss peel a hard boiled egg without “peeling” it. I think this method is actually faster and it only takes one hand to “peel” it. Check it out and comment below.
Tips:
1. I had the eggs in the refrigerator over night – Note the egg shell is shiny
2. These eggs were taken out about 10 minutes prior – I believe that the difference in humidity worked in my favor. Once the egg was open, there was a bit of condensation/moisture on the egg whites.
