04 Erik Erickson Theory of Development Ego based

Click on the link to read on the 8 stages of human development as proposed by Erik Erickson. Of course this is a theory and this theory still holds on.

03 Post. Discovering identity

A company asked me to do a training module for their group. I needed a social media platform for this goal. Thus, LearningEurekas.blogspot.com will be the instrument for this. It is a way to communicate and to continue our being curious and conscious to learn. Only in learning, that is getting new information, that is, sound information, that we are able to to be conscious and aware of our need to learn. Please enjoy this site.

Post 01 - The Goods of Leadership

I was reading a 78-pages book entitled, Team Building, An exercise in Leadership, A Proven way to increase Effectiveness, Revised edition authored by Robert B. Maddux, 1992. I just came out from an inspired title, The Goods of Leadership. Thus, questions like: Who are the leaders? What are they good at? What are their qualities? How do they value time? How do they learn? What are their failures?

Post 01. Searching for an identity. Eureka!

Searching for an identity in the domain of human learning. Eureka is a word attributed to the Greek Archimedes: The exclamation 'Eureka!' is famously attributed to the ancient Greek scholar Archimedes. He reportedly proclaimed "Eureka! Eureka!" (i.e. twice) after he had stepped into a bath and noticed that the water level rose, whereupon he suddenly understood that the volume of water displaced must be equal to the volume of the part of his body he had submerged. (This relation is not what is known as Archimedes' principle—that deals with the upthrust experienced by a body immersed in a fluid.[2][3]) He then realized that the volume of irregular objects could be measured with precision, a previously intractable problem. He is said to have been so eager to share his discovery that he leapt out of his bathtub and ran through the streets of Syracuse naked. Archimedes' insight led to the solution of a problem posed by Hiero of Syracuse, on how to assess the purity of an irregular golden votive crown; he had given his goldsmith the pure gold to be used, and correctly suspected he had been cheated by the goldsmith removing gold and adding the same weight of silver. Equipment for weighing objects with a fair amount of precision already existed, and now that Archimedes could also measure volume, their ratio would give the object's density, an important indicator of purity (as gold is nearly twice as dense as silver and has significantly greater weight for the same volume of matter at standard temperatures and pressure). This story first appeared in written form in Vitruvius's books of architecture, two centuries after it supposedly took place.[4] Some scholars have doubted the accuracy of this tale, saying among other things that the method would have required precise measurements that would have been difficult to make at the time.[5] Galileo Galilei himself weighed in on the controversy, suggesting a design for a hydrostatic balance that could be used to compare the dry weight of an object with the weight of the same object submerged in water.[6] For the problem posed to Archimedes, though, there is a simple method which requires no precision equipment: balance the crown against pure gold in air, and then submerge the scale with crown and gold in water to see if they still balance.[7]ed to Greek Archimedes.
