Thanks everyone for a great discussion last week. I loved hearing your thoughts on agency and motivation. I hope you have been practicing some of what we talked about in finding the underlying fears that demotivate and countering them with love and sacrifice.
Please do the following to prepare for class this week:
1. Read Creativity Inc. Chapters 7-9
2. Last week, you picked a battle line that interested you, this week learn something that is going on in the world right now in that battle line and be prepared to share.
3. Help one another with personal and project goals.
I'm doing a quote & question because I want to.
ReplyDeleteQuote: Each group has its own goals and expectations and acts according to its own appetites.
Question: What goals can we make as a group?
"With certain jobs, there isn't any other way to learn than by doing--by putting yourself in the unstable place and then feeling your way."
ReplyDeleteShould education be more focused on reading, writing, and taking tests on certain subjects or on hands-on specialized learning such as apprenticeships or internships? Or is it different depending on the person?
Quote: When we are honest, people know it.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: What can I do to be an honest, and be recognized as being honest, but not being looked down on as "I am a honest person so look at me!"
Quote: "The key is to view all conflict as essential, because that's how we know the best ideas will be tested and survive. You know, it can't only be sunlight."
ReplyDeleteQuestion: How do we let go of our natural man and our desire to never change and just let God do what He needs to do in our lives?
Quote: We must be open to having our goals change as we learn new information or are surprised by things we thought we knew but didn't.
ReplyDeleteQuestion1: is this quote true? Should we have our goals change as new factors become involved?
Question 2: Are there things that are purely just random? Or does everything have a purpose?
