Wk3 Blog 2: Comments 1

Original student post: Kevin McAllorum

Thoughts on the readings this week. In chapter 7, the idea of resistance was prominent. I like the analogy of mistakes are like ice. The more was resist ice we slip, so the more we resist change we fail.

In chapter 8, we find ourself giving in to our passions. This is something I do enjoy. I have a little more freedom in my life as a telecommuter and can go beyond the grind and the restrictions that I was given at the office. It encourages my passion on a day to day basis and I can find different ways to accomplish things that others that are nose to the grind and burnt out have found.

In chapter nine, we have to have that spark of life. We have to learn to find something that will allow us to grow and learn and take that to the next level.

This week’s reading really encourages learning from mistakes, giving in to the passions and finding that life spark that keeps us going.




My comments:

We just had a nice snowfall in our area, so the comments about resisting the ice are very relevant to me today. I know my drive to work is going to take longer and there is chance that my vehicle may slide and at times the tires may spin. The key is to anticipate, be prepared, and not slam on the brakes at the first sign of trouble. In the classroom, we know that mistakes are going to happen and there will be times when for nothing goes as planned. When that occurs, it’s better to reflect on the conditions, focus on the goals, and enjoy the ride.
