After a meal, your mom or wife says to you, “Keep your fork!” What’s the first thing that comes into your mind? Dessert! In your mind, you are picturing something delectable, sweet, and rich to finish your meal after a long day in school or at work.

I am certain that this image will give readers, especially my lifelong learners, some intriguing and puzzling thoughts, why a fork? I might incorporate images into my curriculum to catch attention first. But as I go on with my real purpose of teaching, my objective is help people realize and be motivated that there’s something rewarding at the end as we dive in to learning new things or relearning foundational skills. Not all adults are prepared for modern technology or to try something new, or to take a risk after getting comfortable in their routines. As a teacher, these images can help me connect and build their optimism that education is essential to lifelong success. Keep your fork because something fascinating and worthwhile awaits after learning and perseverance. Keep your fork, the best is yet to come!
