"There's something about the creative process that I still find remarkable," Ive said. "That on a Tuesday, there's not an idea, it's just Tuesday. And on Wednesday, there's an idea. And it invariably starts as a very tentative and fragile thought and ... it's so nebulous that the ability to try and describe it and communicate it is very important to that idea. … And I still love how you can have a thought that is so fragile that can become something so powerful. I feel so grateful that I can participate in this process."

3. Time on task
"It takes time to learn anything worthwhile. To accumulate knowledge and skills. To integrate this new learning, and be able to, and be confident applying this in the workplace, and real life settings.
This is the difference between undertaking a program of training, and formal courses, compared with short symposia and workshops, or an isolated lecture. Formal training programs gives students time, space, and a place to learn. On a regular basis. This promotes a cumulative increase in learning. Combining theoretical learning with practical case studies integrates basic principles with practice points, and promotes transfer of learning from the classroom to the real world. Online learning programs should include elements from traditional classroom practices which facilitate learning. This includes scheduled time to review the learning material, to work on applying what is learnt by working on assessments and assignments, individually and by learning collaboratively with peers; as well as provide opportunities for timely feedback from instructors."

Hence the questions which are often asked when inquiring about the background and training of a prospective employee/trainee:
-Educational and training background?
-Duration?
-Where?
-With whom?
-Doing what? (curriculum)
-Know, know how, show how, does
-Tell me about...
-What do you think about...
-What would you do when...
-Show me...
-Demonstrate how you would...
-Let's see how this candidate...

5. Take a few steps every day
Taking the first step ... small steps first ..... keep going ..... cumulative effort ..... taking the final steps ... completing / finishing ..... crossing the line ....... take stock ....... take it in ..... expanded vistas ...... expanded insights/deeper ones ..... rest, relax, consolidate, integrate, re-energise and re-stock ....... continue the (your) journey

11. The motivation of your learners, their interest/attention/engagement is key
-Why before How
"Effective learning, and deep learning require interest in a topic, a commitment to learning by our students, regular and systematic participation in an educational process and program, with active engagement with the educational content and the training process. Effective teaching requires awareness of the educational background and prior experience of our students, efforts to maintain and increase motivation in our students, careful and knowledgeable selection of instructional content, and use of interactive and active learning exercises, sequenced and built into a systematic and programmatic educational and training process. Educational technology can anchor and facilitate both effective learning and teaching."
