The War of Art by Steve Pressfield is all about overcoming Resistance to find your inner creative self.
All three of my sections have a writing assignment utilizing Emerson's Self Reliance and Kirk Tuck's Lonely Hunter. I suggest if you enjoyed those, click on the link and read the synopsis of Pressfield's first non fiction book.
I have a copy if any one would like to read it and review it for the class.
Now my point is this, in the Ethics class the entire class was assigned a submission to our SWTLC confernece. I have only seen a about three of what should be ten submissions posted thus far on the Discussion site. Only a handful have posted their essay on Emerson due this weekend.
While the Ethics class meets every other saturday that should not be the template for activity in the class. By now each team should have an outline for their business case. It should feature the prominent individuals, a time line, and the relevant facts of the case. Each day the team should be scanning headlines for recent events or similar events that would add depth and dimension to the case. And at the same time, what ethical constructs are involved? One student came by to retrieve a book from my library about her central character. In our short visit it was clear resasearch was lready underway as she mentioned some things I did not know about the case. That is the way to bulid the case without burning midnight oil, the easy way not the hard way.
The intermediate classes are reviewing adjusting entries and such. Students should be ramping up their study efforts.
Self Reliance starts with Self
Get cracking.....Know thyself...Overcome the Resistance
