-ntroduction

hank you or takin$ time to learn more about Q!E:Qualifed !y Experience, - ha0e been usin$ thisphrase or years because - noticed the dierencebetween a person with “experience rom work” andthe person who had “book knowled$e,”

he person who has won work experience oten hasan ed$e o0er the academic person, - you are@ualifed to take a Aob because o your experience?

you ha0e somethin$ that a person with “book

knowled$e” lacks,

- be$an the website Qualfed!yExperience,com withthe specifc aim o helpin$ people disco0er the expertinside themsel0es, oo oten the $eneral publicdiscounts the 0alue o experience, -.0e met manyintellectuals who can.t fx a toilet or put up a shel,

Bnowin$ how to “$et thin$s done” is part o thereason or creatin$ Q!E +cademy, - ha0e aparticular skill in f$urin$ out what a youn$ personneeds,




-.ll $i0e you an example: 7red was a %'5year5old ladwho had completed his de$ree at a maAor uni0ersity

and was workin$ his way up his ather.s company, !ymost accounts 7red was a likeable ellow in socialsituations? but at work he was downri$ht laCy, Hewould not take the initiati0e and he would a0oidresponsibility, Since he was the owner.s son? he wasoten allowed to slip by and $et credit or work thatothers had done or him,

7red.s ather sent 7red on a one5week trainin$ sessionon one o my boats, -t was @uickly apparent to methat 7red.s lack o initiati0e would be exposedonboard a sailin$ crat, - re@uire each person to takethe helm and $uide the work on the boat and 7red

was @uickly ostraciCed by the other students onboard,1ne incident turned 7red around: another studentasked 7red to tie up that boat but reminded him towrap the rope around a post and to pull the boattoward the dock and not to use his hands, 7red didn.tollow the instructions and was pulled o balance andhe tumbled into the water, +ter emer$in$ rom the

water? 7red looked at me and said? “- - had ollowedinstructions? - wouldn.t ha0e $otten wet,” - replied?“rue,” +nd that.s what it took,

here was a clear shit in 7red rom that point on andor the rest o the course? 7red was en$a$ed and

ocused, wo weeks ater the course ended? a callcame rom 7red.s dad, “"hat happened on thatcourse9 6y son is a chan$ed man, He is fttin$ intothe company and e0eryone is surprised to see hisen$a$in$ manner, "hat did you do9”




"ell? readin$ this booklet will $i0e you an idea o the

method? but it comes down to three principles:

5 oer students challen$es and opportunities to makedecisions5 plan temporary hardships5 delay $ratifcation-n short? $et comortable with bein$ uncomortable,

- hope you will fnd 0alue in these pa$es,

Education: -n the %'st #entury students need a basicliberal arts education? the opportunity to ollow theirown interests? and to become masters o the skills thatwill allow them to be o ser0ice to others,

"ith modern technolo$y they ha0e a steam o

inormation and knowled$e at their fn$ertips, Soe0eryone needs to know how to research and to learn?and they should be moti0ated to do so,

e@uipped to cope with it, he transition rom a 0erysuper0ised and re$imented en0ironment to colle$e? oruni0ersity and work can be 0ery stressul, Eachindi0idual needs experienced coachin$ and $uidance,

oo much theory and not enou$h do: +cademics

ha0e loaded school curriculums with so muchacademic content there is not enou$h time to learnthe sot skills or lie or to $ain practical experience inusin$ them, Sel knowled$e and confdence?communication? tolerance? respect? team leadership?humility? relationship buildin$? perse0erance? masteryand passion? are but a ew o the in$redients o

$raduates rom business schools ne0er $o strai$ht intobusiness mana$ement9 -t takes se0eral years oapprenticeship beore they know enou$h to mo0e intomana$ement, Det the 4octor doin$ an internship canpractice immediately because o the internship, o$et an internship? and to be successul durin$the experience? the student needs excellent lie skills, -t is currently estimated that =F o what a mana$eruses he learns on the Aob? not in school or uni0ersity,

6akin$ mistakes is a $ood way to learn: eachin$?testin$ and most work at schools are based onmistakes bein$ a bad thin$? and employers ollow thislead, he problems with this paradi$m are:

Dou ne0er learn by doin$ the ri$ht thin$

because you already know how to do it and he only opportunity or learnin$ is when you identiy mistakes and rectiy them,6akin$ mistakes bad suppresses learnin$ because thestudent tries to a0oid them? or i made? to shit theresponsibility to somebody else,




+t Q!E +cademy mistakes are seen as learnin$

opportunities,

hou$hts o the 4ay

by "ill Sutherland2stories that demonstrate -nitiati0e3

8ohn #orlette instituted a tradition o the 6ornin$6editation at +i$lon, He asked a sta person to $i0ea short anecdote or read a 0erse and make some

comments? ollowed by a period o silence, -n his$uide to the 6editation? #orlette $i0e these tips:

Talk: The purpose of the talk is to drop one, singlepregnant idea into the silence which precedes andfollows it. It should not occupy more than at theoutside 10 minutes, including silence, and can be no

less than one minute. The idea can be a quite simpleone. The leader may stand for the talk.

The Silence. The central and most important part of the exercise is the silence. For most people onlywhen the mind and body are stilled can the oice of !od be heard, or, to put it differently, can we pick up

the direct signals concerning the truth abouteerything which are constantly being sent out but towhich we are normally insensitie. This is whatmeditation is, laying ourseles open to receie thetruth about something, direct from the source andorigin of all truth. "ence, the first place taken by thesilence.




The Talk. The purpose of the talk is to indicate to theassembly a sub#ect for meditation, ery briefly, ery

simply, in the fewest possible words. It is not alecture. It is extremely difficult to do well. To boil itdown to one idea $ minutes in length may take %hours of preparation and hard thought, whereas a 1$minute talk or a talk of a discursie nature can bedone with little or no preparation and fails completelyof its purpose. It is better to hae no talk at all thanone which is too long or too discursie. The silence

alone, without any talk, would be more creatie,proided that the leader is willing to listen, but thestudents are not willing to be bored and their powersof concentration are limited. Thus talks that are oer&long or oer&complex defeat the purpose. It shouldalso be remembered that they are required to listeneery morning.

2rom (ur @ives are What We Ma3e of Them1 a collectiono #orlette.s writin$s3,

- use a similar procedure and call it “hou$ht o the4ay” so that the pro$ram doesn.t ha0e the “ba$$a$e”that the word “meditation” carries or some people,he hou$ht is then analyCed at the end o the dayo0er dinner,

Here are three stories that - use to ask listeners tothink about the skills that ha0e been won by theindi0iduals in the stories,,,

“Good lad, - you had put your fn$er on a spot? -

W*o /as Do*n Corlette=1ne o the reasons or oerin$ a ree copy o#orlette.s writin$s is to help you $ain insi$ht into themethods used at Q!E +cademy,

The following extracts from a speech given by

Corlette at Aiglon's end-of-term ceremony in July1973 help illustrate his vision for the school.

Education should be more than academics. Webelieve that the goal of education is, or shouldbe, the development of the spiritual man, that isof that part of each one of us which, with

development and training, is capable of a visionor direct apprehension of the purpose of life, ofthe true nature of ourselves, of the world inwhich we live and of such other worlds or statesof being as may exist besides.

“Tolerance of the beliefs of others” does notmean that there is a relativistic “any standards

will do” approach to teaching. Multiculturalismdoes not connote a lack of universal standards.

Education requires teachers to look beyondacademics, even if the judgments might beregarded as “subjective.” This is no reason forteachers to avoid the responsibility of judging

their pupils' work and progress, moreover this isprecisely how promotion is accorded to us in reallife outside school.




We get promoted in our business or occupationand our salary increased precisely as we are

able to convince our superiors in the hierarchy ofour merits with reference to their requirements.The exception to this is of course if we aremembers of a trade union, in which case, asthings are today, our salaries are increased, notaccording to our merit, but according to theseriousness of the threats with which we areable to menace our employers. There have been

attempts by students in some schools to followthis example by threatening the schoolauthorities in various ways if they do not givethem what they want. This could not happen atAiglon for the very simple reason that we wouldrather close the school than abandon ourprinciples.

Education includes developing appreciation forand a relationship with our environment. Intimatecontact with nature, too, is important, and arealisation of our living relationship with it. Henceour adventure training programme.

Learning to live with others and maintaining

good relations with people is part of aneducation. Absolutely essential too is a positiveand loving relationship with all other peopleregardless of their origin, background or beliefs,and a positive and loving relationship witheverything in the world and in the universearound us.

http://www.amenclinics.com/





Daniel Amen's View about Brain Resilience

Several years ago, after looking at tens ofthousands of scans, I started to think about aconcept I call “brain reserve.” Brain reserveis the cushion of healthy brain tissue wehave to deal with the unexpected stressesthat come our way. he more reserve we

have, the more resilient we are in times oftrouble. he less reserve, the morevulnerable we are.!hen we are conceived, let"s say, we allstart with the same amount of brainreserve. #any things can decrease it and

many things can increase it. $or example, if your mother smoked, drank much alcohol orwas under constant stress when she was pregnant with you, likely she decreased yourbrain"s reserve, even before you were born.If she exercised, ate a healthy diet, and took

prenatal vitamins, likely she increased yourreserve.

If you fell off a bunk bed onto your head atage of ten, were exposed to chronic stressfrom alcoholic parents or drank much alcoholor used drugs as a teenager you decreased

your brain"s reserve. %n the other hand, if you protected your head, were raised byreasonably loving, consistent parents, ate ahealthy diet and avoided drugs and alcohol you increased your reserve.




he exciting news is that it is never too lateto work on increasing your brain"s reserve.

&nything you do that harms how your braindecreases its reserve. $or example, weknow that'

•Chronic stress** kills cells in the memory

centers of the brain

•

Too much alcohol** or drug abusedamages the brain

•Negative thinking,** as we will see,

disrupts healthy brain function.

• A lousy diet** is harmful, if you have a fast

food diet you will only have a fast food brain

• &nd, anything that decreases blood flow tothe brain, such as a lack of sleep,**

smoking** or too much caffeine steals from

your reserve.(ikewise, living a brain healthy life willincrease your brain"s reserve and your abilityto deal with the inevitable stresses that come your way.
