Brighten Up: Smart Tools to Excel in Reading, Writing, Memory, Vocabulary, Spelling, Notes, and English Usage (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781492308935)

What Smart People Know There is a guiding principle accessible to you right now that can dramatically change your life at school or at work or in your leisure pursuits. It is simple - that is, it is not complicated and not difficult to grasp. It is powerful - that is, it leads you to a highly efficient, highly productive use of time and energy. And it is virtually instant - the moment that you embrace it, you will begin to reap its benefits. The principle involves a key understanding of how the world around you operates and it opens for you a clear path to enormous success. The initial action required is not labor-intensive and does not require a certain level of previous training or achievement - it is attitudinal, a recognition of your environment and a commitment to place yourself appropriately and successfully within it. Dr. Droge explains this principle and provides smart tools that complement it, quick and simple and powerful tools that are used regularly by highly successful students, professionals, and others "in the know". Taken together, this principle and these smart tools lead to extraordinary levels in reading, writing, memory, vocabulary, spelling, note-taking, and English usage. This is a one-of-a-kind book. Brief by design, it is jam-packed with valuable information for those seeking to raise their skills to a higher level and to sharpen their image significantly. A veteran educator, with degrees from Harvard and Yale, Dr. Droge knows the landscape well. He knows which specific smart tools carry the best potential for life-changing results. And he has committed himself to providing a quick and simple and uncluttered path to mastering them. Explanations and instructions are intentionally kept brief and are written in jargon-free, easily accessible language. This book speaks to a wide audience - regardless of educational background, socio-economic status, gender, or age - from elementary-school learners to senior citizens. It may be used by students or professionals or simply those in leisure pursuits, in a wide variety of settings, including the classroom, at home, or in the office.
