Part One of Discover U in Ten Steps
Since my website is called the Daily PlanIt, it might not surprise you that one of my heroes is Superman! Knowing your heroes gives you insight into your character.
Getting started
Grab a pen and a notebook or some index cards. At the top of the page (or card) write HEROES. Think about some people that you really admire and why. Plant this thought in your brain and let it vegetate awhile until some really good ideas come out. A hero could be someone you know or someone who is famous, real people or characters from books or movies, from the present or the past.

The next step of Discover U in Ten Steps is to identify your strengths.
I seek to create order from the chaos of complex information. Join me at the Daily PlanIt to gain insights, inspiration, and information to increase skills for a better life. I unlock the power of teaching reading with phonics in the pursuit of literacy at www.phonicspow.com. In my spare time I explore books and movies, often choosing titles available on both screen and page.
