The busier we get day by day, the less time we invest in instruction and studying. The options of online programs and classes continue to grow more appealing to people and seem to be a good choice in some circumstances. However, the many advantages of face to face learning and instruction are something that shouldn’t be overlooked. Whether it’s learning how to sew, learning how to use a computer, or simply sharing life experiences, there’s a lot of advantage to being in a classroom face to face with someone teaching or sharing with you versus learning online. Below are some of the benefits of face to face instruction which websites such as Kezaar.com aims to facilitate.

1. Asking Questions

When you make mistakes while learning, you have the opportunity to ask questions. That’s how we begin to understand things. If you are using an online program, you only have the ability to email a teacher or tutor and then you have to wait for the answer. A real time conversation to help at the time it’s needed is a great advantage. Being able to have an explanation or answer when you need it can enhance your learning.

2. Understanding By Doing

Being in a face to face setting will give you the opportunity to practice what you are trying to understand and get instant feedback on what you are doing. Knowing the concepts is a huge part of studying, but practicing and having the ability to do work is in understanding. Having a face to face person to help you work through any difficulties is an advantage to learning.

3. Collaborative Studying

Group learning and collaboration is what takes place in an office setting. Most of our work functions are collaborative which help the way we achieve our goals. When we are face to face with people we can debate and compromise in a group setting which gives us more real life scenarios. Face to face in a classroom will allow you to learn from others successes as well as others mistakes. It’s been said that errors are the best way to understand

4. Consistency

The face to face learning makes us much more accountable for what we do. We are physically engaging in discussions and exercises rather than doing some work at home and trying to work with some program and submit work that may not be right. For people who have procrastination problems, online learning can be such a deficit. You may get tired of learning and go take a walk outside, run errands, or let things at home distract you from completing your work. With fact to face learning, you won’t slack off and you have to pay attention to stay up with the rest of the class.

5. Making new friends

When you're learning online, you miss out on one of the best parts of an education - intellectual communication! This normally leads to bonding, and then friends! Face to face learning also engenders mentorships with instructors - which leads to connections, letters of recommendation, etc! Don't sell yourself short!

Often times, it can be just one little thing that we missed through an online training versus a face to face training that limits us from understanding a concept and learning it completely. Whether you are taking some type of leadership training, or studying Spanish, the face to face instruction gives the student the hands on type of learning that provides better results and a more confident person with their skills.

It ain't cliche. Really - how do you benchmark what is regarded as success in life? Really succeeding in one's work, career and business is all but just one facet. Succeeding in life is more than that!

Do you know that women are more likely targeted than men because we are perceived as vulnerable (no thanks to our fancy killer heels...!) and we are seen as less likely to resist and defend.

In today's day and age overseas travel has become an inherent part of our daily lives. Hence, we need to become more aware of our surroundings.

  Here at Kezaar we are taking personal health and self defence to whole new level. With the expertise of Chye, our combat guru the action-packed class is designed for individuals to develop personal protection awareness and the practical knowledge of dealing with unexpected encounters.

  Get empowered through Master Chye and Miss Yun Quan and you shall never walk in fear again.

  Come and learn some tips from Chye and bring your friends or even teenage daughters/nieces. Min age 16-18 years old. Chye has deliberately priced down so that more women can attend with their friends at S$25/person. http://kezaar.com/

For a change, I should try and make my own cocktails at home and just round up a couple of pals over instead of joining the manic Friday after-work crowd and crazy road traffic.  I found a couple of pretty neat cocktail recipes online, gonna give this a try but you know what: Kezaar may just be able to get a few home-mixiologists  who can show in person how do to this and what's better than learning from home-pros in person? For now til Kezaar's launch, let's make do with this online recipes.

Cheers all and happy Margarita Fridays!

Kezaar-out,

Margarita Cocktail

Really hate it when I'm faced with the ultimate temptation of glorious home cooked food that's right in front of me and no... I'm not talking about meals but rather the sexy food photos from home cooks and home chefs that are on Munch Ministry. The temptation prevails at all odd hours of the day. Yesterday, a particular dish jumped out right at me, it's a all-time crowd-pleaser "He Bi Hiam" buns which is a local Singapore dish either topped with the yummy spicy fried mini prawns or stuffed with it, this really tugs at my childhood memories and a comfort food that I'm willing to offer a bribe for a good one.

Looks like I've gotta beg for some now... hope Pauline is reading this!

It's marvelous to see so much of passion among "amateur" cooks or I prefer to call home cooks or home chefs. Everyone can learn and definitely whipping up a storm in the kitchen can be a learnt skill. 

So watch this space for Kezaar.com and you maybe surprised how many 'Julia Childs'' in us may just wake up to the call to share their glorious recipes and cooking skills with others with a similar passion to cook not for trade but for those whom we love and treasure. Food is an ultimate expression of that love.

Float away in food dreams...

Loving the fact that Donna Hay makes cooking look and feel simple, who says that the best tasting dishes have to be complicated? I came across this recipe and video demo on Lifestyle Food's website. I am so inspired to try out her recipes even the Chocolate Souffle that oh so frightens me! One of the skill categories that Kezaar is going to offer will surround Food, Wine and Living well and you may just get the chance to learn from both the kitchen pros and passionate amateurs alike!
