The Big Picture

It seems as if I have completely changed from the first day of class. I remember coming in hearing all these stories about the "Notorious Richard Feinberg" and how the class was so weird. I thought exactly that. I had no idea how much I would learn about life and the working world from this class. I now know that I must make myself stand out and be remarkable to get myself noticed and to have others listen to me. I need to go above and beyond and do extraordinary things. I have learned valuable lessons about pain, prejudice, and life in general. This class has taught me to think outside the box and to become better in every aspect of my life. I have become a better person and writer and group member because of this class. It has been the most inspiring class I have had, and I was sad to see it end.

and so it goes.

Pain

The lecture on pain was really great. In some people's cases I am sure that it made them feel like "wow, my life isn't so bad", and in others im sure it let them know that they were not alone. There are times when I really think my life sucks but this assignment allowed me to see that it is not bad at all. Some of the responses gave me the chills and I felt so terrible for those people. This was an eye opener and it changed my perspective on my own life and allowed me to see how great I have it.

Movies

I absolutely love the movies. I love the way that you are able to escape from your life for 2 hours and just transform into a character. Movies can really take you away. I had an english class my freshman year of college where the professor was obsessed with classic film. Besides being a total creep, he got us to open our eyes and pay more attention to film and the characters in it. We got to watch a movie the first 30 minutes of every 50 minute class which i loved, because I hate english. I feel like I know a lot about movies, but yet there are so many classics that I have not even seen. I was so glad to do an assignment where we could write about movies.

communication

This is a bit delayed from last week's class, but the communication activity we did was pretty useful. There are a lot of peole out there who just like to delegate something and dont give people a chance to say anything in return. It is those leaders who are not successful. The two way communication just shows how beneficial it is to ask questions and get them answered. There would be a lot less confusion in the work place if quesitons were answered more often. Discussions are so beneficial compared to delegating.

this is short but sweet, but thats what I thought about that class.
