ADHD is one of the most common childhood disorders and can carry on through adolescence and adulthood. Symptoms include difficulty staying focused and paying attention, difficulty controlling behaviour and hyperactivity. Scientists are not sure what causes ADHD, but many studies suggest that genes are a factor. In addition to genetics, researchers are looking at possible environmental factors, and are studying how brain injuries, nutrition, and the social environment might cause ADHD. Children who have suffered a brain injury may show some behaviour similar to those of ADHD.

Keirsey also states, “In their careers, Masterminds usually rise to positions of responsibility, for they work long and hard and are dedicated in their pursuit of goals, sparing neither their own time and effort nor that of their colleagues and employees. Problem-solving is highly stimulating to Masterminds, who love responding to tangled systems that require careful -1- sorting out. Ordinarily, they verbalize the positive and avoid comments of a negative nature; they are more interested in moving an organization forward than dwelling on mistakes of the past.” I agree with

Article 1 highlighted several theories of adult learning. Here adults learn for many reasons, mostly for self growth in their lives, careers, and self value. Lindeman’s principles of adult learning were, motivation, orientation to learn, experimental base, self direction and individual differences. (Linderman, 1926)The only time age becomes a factor in what is learned is when your long term memory is challenged by age longevity.

Procrastinators seldom do absolutely nothing; they do useful things, like gardening or sharpening pencils or making a diagram instead of chores or doing homework. If all the procrastinator had left to do was to sharpen some pencils, no force on earth could get him do it.

One needs to be able to become very good at succeeding at last minute tasks under great stress to achieve the art of procrastination. Procrastination yields many benefits- more free time than the hardworking people, performing very well under stress and time constraints.
