Chaos Lashes Out!!!

Quite a lovely class discussion we were having on Thursday. I found it to be rather useless yet fun none the less. I was laughing most of the time because what else can you do in a situation like that. I think what was going on was that due to the fact that none or maybe just a hand full of us know what we are somewhat doing causing great frustration. We have been told to do “it” when we know not what or how to do “it.” This would obviously cause tension. Now mix in the fact that those who are passionate about what ever we are doing were all trying to get their points across to a frustrated almost upset audience. I had the most vivid picture come in my mind when this all was taking place. “Lord of the Flies” Now only could see hear and see the disorder and frustration but we could feel the arising conflictions in the class. I do have to commend those who sat through that and wanting to shout out loud but did not. My hat is off to you all. I don’t think we should do that again in that way, I mean unless we all just want to break out into a full on fisty cuff brawl. Maybe Technology and Organizational can team up and take on The Market and People group as Capital bets on who’s going to win. Hahaha. Anyway it did make my Thursday afternoon quite fun. Thanks to all who were involved.

Knowing your Limit

I really liked today’s class about thresholds. We all have them and I think it’s something very personal. We all function differently I’m talking about mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, etc. Ok let’s use a physical analogy; we’ve all heard that our brain is a muscle. When we go to the gym we work it out. If we don’t for a while then go your muscles become sore. Everyone knows this. As you work out your muscles become stronger being able to lift more, run faster, etc. So by working out we raise our threshold of fuctionablity. It’s so hard to at first go just for 30 min. then after working out for while you’re in there for like some 2 hours or so and feel just fine about it. It works the same way with our mental capacity. We need to work our brain out to where we can take in more and at a higher rate. The gospel principle is not a secret and can be applied to just about everything. Now a word of caution: don’t over do it yet. But don’t let the idea or fear of over doing it hinder thine progress. I love people who go to the gym because they want to get fit and on the sight of a sweat drop they stop because they “don’t want to over do it.” Let us push each other to make us the best we can be. It’s like that army quote, “Be all that you can be.” Blah blah blah. I guess there’s truth in that. Well good stuff yet again.

Takin' Care of Business

Well today was a great class. I feel like we are finally about to jump in the pool. I mean we took care of the on going problem of the blog. (Sounds like some old horror movie.) I’m feeling good about it now, well more then yesterday at least. Then we got to actually almost find out what exactly what we are doing. See then again this being lost in the dark, blind following the blind, event does have its fun bits. I can totally see how this would help in the future. I mean as if real jobs are al clear cut as school is. I think Bro. Adams is trying to set us up for the working world but not only that I think it’s for the future working world. Just like he said today the world is changing and we, as the next generation of the world, have to have it all down. So today my hat is off to you bro Adams. Ok so I have to comment on the 7 habits I don’t know about ya’ll but this is good stuff. It’s like the sweet sweet nectar that comes from the bees, like the ice cream next to a warm apple pie, it just makes everything better. Can you image a piece of apple pie with out ice cream? I mean what is that? It’s just a dessert. But with ice cream it’s like a gourmet dish. I wish you’ll just have to try it to understand. Peace and Love
