Let's celebrate #WorldBookDay with a thread on highlights from wonderful book "The Psychology of Money" by @morganhousel #WorldBookDay2021 
Behavior Matters
Genius who loses control of their emotions can be a financial disaster. The opposite is also true. Ordinary folks with no financial education can be wealthy if they have a handful of behavioral skills that have nothing to do with formal measures of intelligence.

Engineers can determine the cause of a bridge collapse because there’s agreement that if a certain amount of force is applied to a certain area, that area will break. Physics isn’t controversial. It's guided by laws....
#WorldBookDay2021 a tad late, but thought will end my day with something I love too much--- reading--much like music. As someone who stayed up several nights just to finish that novel, sharing some favourite writers.

Can give an arm and leg for owning the entire collection of The Famous Five, and Malory Towers. Read it with delight after a cousin lent hers.++

Wow! What a fun filled & productive week #WorldBookDay #WorldBookDay2021 #outdoorlearning sessions @HighStPrimary this week with 8 groups using @yuvalzommer #bigbookofbugs as stimulus. An immense amount of work done out in the woodland by all groups. The focus was on Bug hunts
but we also used it as a fabulous opportunity to create a wonderful #bughotel and other habitats. An area has been roped off in anticipation of a wild flower meadow, a greet way to entice some pollinators to the woodland & some colour! Pupils put out some roof tiles that will be
numbered & monitored over the years, a bug hotel was created with every year group contributing, a butterfly cafe was created with pots planted with garden pollinator seeds, a caterpillar cafe was created by the Yr1/2, hedgehog houses built by some brilliant Yr5s, some

The first books that I remember loving enough to read under the covers and by the light of the streetlamps were The Hardy Boys collection. My Aunt Grainne would buy me a new one every few weeks and leave it under my pillow as a surprise, dated and signed by herself.
When I was around 8 I had a nature/wildlife obsessed teacher in primary school who I'm pretty sure ignored the rest of the curriculum.
He was inspiring about his single subject and often gave us very technical, wordy, adult books about some species of birds or whatever

Whilst Dad wasn’t a big reader, Mam was avid.
After she passed, my siblings and I returned to Cavan to help clear her things.
We gave away personal items: clothes, jewellrey, furniture and trinkets to family and friends.

I bagged up all her books.
Carrying the first load to the car, Dad stopped me, “Where you going with them?”
“I’m taking them to the charity shop.”
“You are not.”
“There’s bag-loads; what you gonna do with them?” I asked.

Dad was a mild-mannered man, but I vividly recall his steely-eyed resolve as he said, “I’ll keep them son, that’s what I’ll do with them!”
Imagine, he couldn’t let go of her books.
I don’t know what they meant to him, I never asked.
But I do know it’s a beautiful-book-story.
