FOR a long time the conviction has been dimly felt in the community that without prejudice to existing institutions the legal day of weekly rest might be employed to advantage for purposes affecting the general good.

I have never forgotten my days as an Eagle Scout. I didn't know it at the time but what really came out of my Scouting was learning how to lead and serve the community. It has come in handy in my career in government.

Not only did I get to play with these great international musicians but I also had the opportunity to jam with the local celebrities in Toronto people like the Walsh Brothers David Wilcox Kim Mitchell and the like. It was a great learning experience.

The introduction of many minds into many fields of learning along a broad spectrum keeps alive questions about the accessibility if not the unity of knowledge.

The Finland of the 21st century can thrive only if women of learning - in common with their male counterparts - are guaranteed the opportunity to use their creative potential to the full.

I've just been learning how to direct my own videos choreography doing costumes... every creative opportunity there is with my music I've taken.

I think the biggest thing was that I was putting pressure on myself leading up to Beijing. Now I am learning how to take that pressure off and seeing this as an incredible opportunity but not like 'I absolutely have to medal.'

You're always learning on different avenues and this is an opportunity for me to start on a fresh plate and start learning some other things that can really help me that I need and I want to progress forward.

I didn't have a regular school experience and wanted a more abstract way of learning. I started exploring in lots of different creative ways. It gave me the opportunity to travel and play music so it was good for me.

I felt that if there wasn't going to be a good opportunity then I would just go back to second units which I love keep working with great directors keep learning and knowing that the opportunity would come when the time was right.
