I like that! I once repaired a tree that had split during a storm. The apartment manager said he hated to cut the tree down, but as the trunk was split, it was only a matter of time. I looked at the tree, looked at the manager and told him I could fix the tree with some rope and wooden rods. The manager (trying to picture what I could be thinking) said that it was impossible too save the tree. An hour later, with the tree tied snugly back together, he admitted he had been wrong. I lived there for several years after that, and when I moved, the tree was alive and doing well.
The odd thing is, this is for a class called "life work planning". From some of the things that have been included so far (reading a book by the 'Blanchard's'), and soon to be watching a movie called "the pursuit of happiness" (the one with Will Smith), the focus of the class is on motivation and determination. One thing about these motivational classes, they all try too focus on people that 'make it big'. This isn't a bad thing, but they would do well to include more down too earth stuff, as how many Michael Jordan's are there running around? You don't have too compare yourself too top athletes to be able too get motivated.
We have taken all sorts of psy tests within the course, and I didn't have the heart too tell the guy that I had already done pretty much the same stuff before I even enrolled at the collage. The one interesting point so far is the personality profiling that we did. I came out with an INTP rating, which is in the 1% section of the population. They use fancy words, but it comes down to just saying "jack of all trades, master of none".
It also explains why I can come up with tons of ideas, but can never follow through with things. I guess I need to marry a gal that can supply my lacks, like practicality, and get it done mentality.
