During week three Wimba session you had given the class an opportunity to answer the following questions about the book- Art of Possibity. I decided I would weigh with my answers to those questions.

The Art of
Possibility is different in that it talks of situations we can understand
having been in similar circumstances and really shows us how we can use those
situations to create new ones, by opening up an array of possibilities. This
book really goes into the idea that anything is possible and when we begin to
see events, ideas, and situations in this light then we can allow ourselves to find
more ways to live life to the absolute fullest.
Q: Which chapters meant the most to you and
why?
I have really
enjoyed the entire book, I have chosen quotes in each of my reading blog posts
that stand out to me or kind of make me step back and have an Ah Ha movement. However
the chapter that sticks out from the rest is Chapter 7 “The Way Things Are” This
chapter, introduces us to the idea of being with the way things are, not to
wallow about negative situations, but to change your way of thinking or
attitude, in turn this change will take those negatives thoughts, feelings, or
just bad days by shedding a different light and trying to find the positive
aspect of what is happening at that moment.
Q: Art of Possibility: What things are you
going to take from the reading and use in your teaching and your life?
I think what I
have recently taken from the book is not to take yourself so seriously, and
that to take a minute to step back to remember to lighten up. “Remember Rule
Number 6” is a great way to remind you to do just that.
By the way, the song When you
go By Jonathon Coulton was awesome, I really enjoyed it!
Thanks for reviewing the archive and providing your own responses.
