I’ve come across a couple interesting articles in the last week. The first is titled, “PleasureReading Leads to Professional Careers, Study Says”.
 "According to our results, there is something special about reading for pleasure," says researcher Mark Taylor. "The positive associations of reading for pleasure aren't replicated in any other extracurricular activity, regardless of our expectations."


The second is a list of 7rules for online etiquette.
“The more my son gets into social media, the more we talk about being responsible online. But a recent incident made me realize that I had completely overlooked a basic tenet of appropriate online behavior: manners. Just as I teach him to keep his elbows off the table, I have to teach him to be courteous in his digital life.”
