I had a very interesting week at work.  On one particular day it struck me that most children are really quite convinced that they are smarter than adults.

My students are in class doing work, one particular child has her head down, like the others, but it is not tilted in the same direction. Her focus seems to be more in her lap, than on her desk. I sit there looking at her  for about two minutes, just waiting to see what her hands do. Ahh moment of clarity. Her right hand goes down and makes a sweeping motion...tsk tsk.

If you are a school teacher I am sure you have had similar experiences.

Turning 30: 30 Things Every Woman Should Have And Should Know

In 1997, Glamour magazine published a story titled "30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She's 30." The list, written by Pamela Redmond Satran, was so popular that women started emailing it around, misattributing it to various female luminaries including Maya Angelou and Hillary Clinton. Noting what a phenomenon it had become, the editors of Glamour created a book around it, featuring essays from (mostly) famous women on each of the items on the list. The book, released today, includes meditations from Katie Couric on work and love, Portia de Rossi on accepting your body, and one from the list's original author, who is also a Huffington Post blogger, on how to live alone.
Because the list still makes us so, so happy, we asked Glamour's permission to reprint it here:

Nine Things Successful People Do Differently

By.  Heidi Grant Halvorson

Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you aren't sure, you are far from alone in your confusion. It turns out that even brilliant, highly accomplished people are pretty lousy when it comes to understanding why they succeed or fail. The intuitive answer — that you are born predisposed to certain talents and lacking in others — is really just one small piece of the puzzle. In fact, decades of research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more often because of what they do.
