We definitely this new education system a thru out the world. The new generation has so much knowledge

May I submit a new venture? I have codified English and, for over twenty years, shared a third meaning "between the lines," spoken and written, to all who will listen, far and wide, in schools and for workplace professional education, with exactly the goal of answering what Ray S. wondered about: " ...the education I didn't receive, but perhaps should have." ?"What perhaps I should have learned" might be the core of thinking and writing, too often elusive, hard to capture, but according to educator Benjamin Bloom, the highest of the steps to critical thinking. Teachers try, with Herculean efforts, but writing-training, and teaching writing alongside content requirements, have entangled too many solutions in too many directions. Reaching everyone consistently, or even at all, seldom happens. Students who struggle with writing fall too often to the wayside. Adults choose careers which "certainly don't involve writing" --- until they do --- have to write. Watching that frustration, experiencing it myself, knowing children ages 2-5 seem to simply absorb English, I decided to pretend I was a Martian, having come to earth to learn English. But, with no rocket-ship's payload left for taking books on the return, my Martian-self thought, by opening all the earthlings' books about writing, maybe I can memorize how English really works? That, and the apparently complexities and exceptions in English looked more than daunting... until, Voilá, a Eureka Moment. I suddenly saw that English only has two sets of Patterns to create all sentencing???Nah. But, wait. Yes. Moreover learning patterns also have emerged; and the writing struggle has begun to define itself and its solutions. Equally exciting as the Eureka, the empirical says it all. Learners with the same system, kindergarten through universities and workplace professionals, have changed their lives. We want to extend our filming into the "how," and expand.? Ray S.'s post more than wonders. He captures a hunger a little hard to put a label on. But once you see "it," you can't not see it - your own thoughts instantly graphed as Thought Strings to compare with your self-assessed "ThoughtPrint."?Marcel Proust said that "The process of discovery does not consist of traveling to new lands, but seeing with new eyes." Violet in Lemony Snickett's Series of Unfortunate Events, says, "There is always another way." Umberto Eco, novelist and philosopher, says, "Being requires sentence." Dr. Kathleen Ruddy in The End of Breast Cancer, says "Nature adores diversity." Thinking style is the real diversity.? How to see ourselves objectively, with new eyes, to think in more than one way, not just in a burst of insight, but by design, all bring the subconscious to consciousness. Seeing "with new eyes" uncovers new knowledge in ourselves and about one another. Especially now, assessing our identities, our restlessness, as Mr. Branson describes the Virgin Organizations at the core, we need concrete, hands-on, exciting tools to unite us.? We have them, intuitively, in English. The four Patterns which create all sentencing in English have no exceptions; they "Nest" inside each other; they "Flip" for multiple perspectives, but most of all give us "new eyes," not just sometimes but every day.?Each has a Pattern formula, no exceptions, and is used in one of two ways - and all four have been clearly "there" since Chaucer in 1380:? ????Primary Image; Conditional Image; Process Detail; Background Detail. I think that the Virgin Organizations, maybe from the beginning, have sought to quench the hunger for seeing what we haven't seen before. From the first record-store, to Virgin's space flight launch in just a few days, thinking in ways we don't think, but collaboratively most of all, apparently remains the quest. We can't not use the Patterns because, while English has nothing else, they also serve as uniting threads. We all know them, use them in every sentence. Using them aloud reaches our core thinking and design in writing. Bringing them to consciousness is fun, and satisfying. Education at its most exciting does tie us together, creates collaboration, for example, by how thought and sentencing work: who is a Primary Thinker; who is Conditional; who's is Process; who is Background? What can I learn from you, teach you, promote, stimulate, absorb that we could not do on our own?? Oprah, Harry, and Megan have collaborated to create "The self you don't see in me." All of my career, with never-ending, passion about language, thinking, and multiple perspectives, I hadn't labeled it, but has been a search how English speakers can discover "The self I don't see in me." We can't know everything, of course, but we do have undiscovered expertise in our differing thinking styles. Sharing them, Thought Leadership becomes natural, daily, and satisfying as life-long learning habits. ?? Ah ha! Just as I wrote this, I "saw" Virgin Organizations with new eyes! My having wondered why choosing the words, Virgin Organization to describe its many ventures, now makes complete sense --- seeing with virgin eyes in everything we do and everything we know! Wow! Thank you. All - I do realize I've pushed the boundaries for a post. Passion makes its own rules sometimes, but I'll curb my enthusiasm the next times. Truthfully, finding this site feels like home and releases my latent extravert!?Thanks for staying with me!
