Earning more is more powerful than saving Saving is a finite solution. You can only save so much, can only be so frugal. Your power for earning is unlimited with the right resource (you), the right tools (knowledge), and the right force (hard work). That isn’t to discount saving. There’s another side to that, even. Increasing your earnings isn’t always an easy equation to solve, though. Follow all that learning up with some good old fashioned hard work. But, listen. How are you going to improve yourself today?

André Stern, 42 ans, jamais allé à l'école | Baptiste Ricard-Châtelain Pas simple de cadrer le Français de 42 ans venu visiter la rédaction du Soleil il y a peu. Lui-même refuse les étiquettes, les titres professionnels. Il est luthier, journaliste, musicien, comédien, auteur... Il est l'ensemble des passions qui l'ont guidé au fil de ses apprentissages, explique-t-il. «C'est difficile de me définir par un métier.» En visite au Québec pour présenter quelques conférences, André Stern s'offre en exemple: la non-scolarisation fonctionne, elle est une option non seulement valable mais aussi porteuse, dit-il. Et ça ressemble à quoi au quotidien la non-scolarisation? Par ses expérimentations, ses recherches, le petit André a exploré les mathématiques, la lecture, l'écriture. Attention, prévient André Stern, la «non-scolarisation» n'est pas «l'école à la maison» - lui utilise les termes anglais prononcés à la française - le unschooling n'est pas le homeschooling. «J'ai tout appris comme vous avez appris votre langue maternelle. Plusieurs obstacles sur la route

La magie de l'empathie | Yves Dalpé | Coin du psy L'empathie n'est pas naturelle pour la plupart des gens. Elle exige un dur apprentissage qui demande le sacrifice de ses propres réactions spontanées au profit d'une connexion rehaussée avec les autres. Les parents deviennent plus adéquats. Les conjoints s'aiment plus. Même le travail devient plus efficace quand il implique des relations humaines. Le mot «empathie» n'était qu'un mot technique réservé à la psychologie dans les années 60, et depuis ce temps, j'ai été témoin de son utilisation de plus en plus répandue dans le langage courant. C'est Carl Rogers, l'un des grands psychologues du XXe siècle, qui a attiré l'attention sur l'empathie en démontrant qu'elle était essentielle en psychothérapie. Selon Rogers, cette attitude centrée sur l'autre rend cet autre plus confortable dans le contact interpersonnel et, à la longue, elle favorise son développement. Or, l'empathie est particulièrement nécessaire dans les conflits conjugaux.
