I have a longstanding obsession with J.R.R. Tolkien’s 'The Hobbit,' starting with the great 1977 animated film that captured my young imagination. Hobbits are content to be intensely local and ignore the world beyond their neighborhood until Gandalf instills in Bilbo and subsequently Frodo to learn about the wider world. I’ve always seen that as push for all of us to get to know more about the world, and to experience it first-hand. Sometimes academic geographic forgets the explorer component of geographic inquiry and discovery and it is these geographic quotes from the movies and books that I wish to share. Via Seth Dixon

Reminds me of the scene in Good Will Hunting where Robin Williams is chastising Matt Damon for only sourcing his knowleged through books and not personal expeience.

Even movies like THE HOBBIT have geographic elements. No we cannot see it in class, but you can watch it at home or in the theater. Delete the scoop?

Decades from now when you’re resting on your deathbed, you will not remember the days that were easy, you will cherish the moments when you rose above your difficulties and conquered goals of magnitude. You will dream of the strength you found within yourself that allowed you to achieve what once seemed impossible.

A study in the UK has found that there may be a connection between what a person like's on Facebook and that person's personality. The group performing the study used math and computers to track what people "liked" on Facebook. The computer made guesses about things such as a person's political affiliation or sexuality. The researchers then gave those same people a personality test. They compared the results of the two and found that the computer sometimes made some very accurate guesses.

Why the First Impression Matters The first impression is obviously the first thing that occurs in any social interaction. Do you convey confidence? Self-assurance? Via Barb Jemmott

(From the article): When you meet someone, there are things you should always take into account, such as the context of the meeting (personal or business) and what they are doing at the moment of initiation. You should tweak your approaches based on these two things. When in a more casual and personal setting, you probably don’t want to be as formal as you would with a new potential employer. Also, you never want to make someone stop everything they’re doing just to speak to you if you’ve never met them before. It’s rude, and no one likes to be interrupted. Delete the scoop?
