6th is done!


Wow, I can't believe it, but week 6 is done, and 10 more weeks to go.



I can really feel the pressure now with 6 classes and working 40 hours. But I think it's all worth it if I can get my credential by the end of next semester.



So far, this class has been most interesting and the selection of text are easy read such as the text we are reading, "A Whole New Mind", which talks about how left-brained people are no longer enough, we need people to start using and appreciating the right-brain to suffice our life and work style.




Tonight, we discussed about the concept of storytelling where people tend to be more interested in stories than just raw facts. And also that most stories comes from the "Hero's Journey" template, where the hero goes through an initiation, challenge, and then the return of the hero.



Then we discussed about "Symphony", where we need people that can facilitate things such as the boundary crosser, the inventor, and the metaphor maker.



I don't want to make this blog too long, so for the time being, I will end this here.
