Week 2 Readings: The Art Of Possibility

The Art of Possibility
Fourth: Life is more of contributing what you can than striving towards success. Playing the game of contribution is what really brings satisfaction. Seeing life as game makes one change from the survival mode to growth and puts one in control.
(This philosophy is purely human with no God or Word of God in view. But if God were to be in view one could look on life as a gift from God and to be used to serve others.)
This contribution game impacts others also. Like ripples that spread out to edge of a pond when a pebble is cat into the center. When we impact others our own lives take on a new meaning and vibrancy.

Leading from any Chair
What should make a group I lead lively and engaged should be the concern of a leader and not on how good the leader is.

I remember I did create a power point presentation that I presented to my class. For me it worked out fine and there was no problem. It explained the process of their walk through prison life and how they should respond to it: acceptance and cooperation with custody and non-custody officers. It was to a class or prisoners whom I taught in before I was sent to the office.

@Kathy

I am glad for the support of your school, especially the tech department. i had similar experiences at CSP LAC where I taught before. Our support staff there helps with providing teachers with media gadgets and programes

But they did more. There were broadcasts, produced with teachers input, beamed to these prisoners in their cells throughout the whole prison, especially when there were knockdowns and inmates could not come to class

@Natalie

At least your school was only lagging behind, partly because the head teacher may have been uncomfortable with these tech talk; and partly because the money, maybe, was not there.

In the school I taught computers were allowed, but not Internet. So all I could was to produce videos and show them in class. No Internet

My MAC August Post: Readings for Week 1

An Invitation to Possibility

These are snippets from the book

This is a book on the how-to of life. It shows the reader on how to lift from the struggles of life to the world of possibility. It gives novel suggestions on how we should approach our lives, other people and the world around us.

It vision or theme focuses on the conflict between the individual and the collective in which our everyday life revolves. It also offers transformational practices that help initiate a new approach to existing situations. Such changes are not arrived at by cogent arguments but by doing the acts that generate the change, like the revolution of Internet. And of course these practices take time to take traction in our lives and permeate our sub conscious level.

Practices in Possibility

It Is All Invented

Hardwired, previously held perceptions determine how we see or interpret the world around us in order to survive.

Step into a Universe of Possibility

The primary assumption we hold is that life is made of struggles we have to overcome. Contrary to this basic assumption of life for many, the universe of possibility allows setting the ‘context of lie’ and allowing life to unfold.

Giving an A

Grades are given as a Comparism of one student with another, not an indication of the work done. Real education should be to chip away excess material in a block of stone so that the real beautiful image would appear. This is the real giving an A and this practice transports one to a universe of possibility.

Bright Futures and The A letters

By freeing people from this world of struggles and limitations through imagining what they would have accomplished even before they begin terrific results of accomplishments come forth from the lives of people.

( for me there is the imago Dei in every persons in the cage of self and sin. Only Jesus frees me from it to let the image and life of God in through Jesus Christ emerge.)

The Secret of Life

We should choose to invent what will make us happier and not live out epithets or plasters others have put on us.

The Senior Paper

We should learn to accept other people’s style and try to fit them into our mold.

Uniting People with an A.

A freely given A creates partnership, wholeness and unleashes creativity. Therefore give people A freely

Tanya’s Bow

Commitment to a cause or performance is not determined by looks but by speaking to a person’s passion. Look for the unfulfilled yearning in people to make a difference and attend to it rather than attend to their apathy or cynicism.

Second Fiddle it is?
Everybody is important to where they are and should not relegate themselves to the second fiddle player.

Mahler and KATERINE

APPEAL TO THE PASSIONATE IN CHILDREN BY GIVING THEM AN A AND AWAKE THEIR LOVE OF LIFE AND MUSIC.

RECONSTRUCTING OUR PAST

Reconstruct our stories by inveting stories that will propel us forward, not hold us back.
