Curiosity leads to lifetime of growth For those of us who have curiosityoriented personalities, a missing piece to any puzzle, literal or allegorical, is like waving a flag in front of a bull. We become totally enmeshed in finding that elusive piece. Some curious type people are investigative detectives, others are journalists, and still others are researchers or scientists. There are even those individuals who pursue the solving of puzzles as a hobby. Aren't we thankful for their relentless curiosity? Were it not for the curiosity of Thomas Edison we would not enjoy the luxury of electric lights and all the other electrical gadgets. Curiosity leads our little children to constantly ask; "Why"? We sometimes tire of that often repeated word. If we can just remember to catch a glimmer of where the child is headed with that question, we can be thankful for the curious mind. Curiosity often leads to knowledge. Sometimes we get mixed up and think that the knowledge must come first. Those who have been in the teaching field any amount of time come to know that curiosity and motivation are the precursors to acquiring, retaining and acting on knowledge. We realize that as teachers we cannot act only as a mother bird, dropping "worms" of knowledge into the waiting infant bird mouths of students. Part of the job is to motivate those little bird students to whole, we forget to look at other leave the nest and fly. Knowledge alone doesn't cut it; options which will work for unique knowledge without motivation is just individuals.

A recent Scandinavian study determined what activities will lead to a happy and satisfactory life — they were camping, dancing and singing, according to Singing: The Key To A Long Life by Brian Eno of NPR. "When you sing with a group of people, you learn how to subsume yourself into a group consciousness because a Cappella singing is all about the immersion of the self into the community," Eno said. The first step in deciding whether you might find the same gratification from singing is to take advantage of free vocal lessons for women at least 15 years of age, being given by Anita Main, the director of California HEAT Chorus of Red Bluff. This chorus took first place for its regional division in April of this year. These vocal lessons will be held 6-6:45 p.m. July 18, 25 and Aug 1 and 8 at Metteer School in Red Bluff, room 26. Proceeding, guests are invited to come to a chorus rehearsal on site starting at 7 p.m. California HEAT Chorus is affiliated with Sweet Adelines Tuesdays: Wednesdays: Business Thursdays: Entertainment Fridays: Education Saturdays: Farm, Religion, TV Circulation Manager: Kathy Hogan khogan@redbluffdailynews.com Production Manager: Sandy Valdivia sandy@redbluffdailynews.com POSTMASTER SEND ADDRESS CHANGES TO: PO BOX 220, RED BLUFF CA 96080 The Red Bluff Daily News is an adjudicated daily newspaper of general circulation, County of Tehama, Superior Court Decree 9670, May 25, 1955 © 2013 Daily News Postage Paid Periodicals International, an organization comprised of nearly 30,000 women globally.
