27、or the weekend but had to return to our jobs on Monday. Local relatives would help Dad get home from hospital and look after him. But I longed to be able to let him know that we cared about him too, even when we weren't with him.Then I remembered a family tradition when our children were small.

28、When leaving our grandparents home after a visit, each child would write a love note to their grandparents. We hid notes in oat box, under a hairbrush or next to the phone or even in the microwave oven. For days, our grandparents would smile as they discovered these reminders of our love. So as I ti

29、died Dads kitchen and made up a bed for him downstairs in the living room, I wrote some notes. Some were practical, "Dad, I put the food in the fridge so it wouldn't spoil". Some expressed my love, “Dad, I hope you will sleep well in your new bed.” Most notes were downstairs where he w

30、ould stay for several weeks until he recovered strength, but one note I hid upstairs under his pillow, "Dad, if you have found this note, you must be feeling better. We are so glad!" Just like his medicine strengthened him physically, these "emotional vitamins" would improve his

35、it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning. We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Conditioned a

36、s we are to passive learning, its not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers. Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem.

38、ord for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed. Thats what happens in daily life.

39、adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping it with their personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.
