lit 09

Literature :)

I think lit is fun. For now. its kinda "my type". I like to think, to reflect. Detailed post of our first class is in Jene's post, and very well written. And one of the sayings during class was this

"who wants a living? I want a life"

and we were asked to voice out our opinions about the matter. Many took "life" as fun, meaningful, enjoyment, doing things that are special, not monotonous etc. Some are still searching. Nothing wrong bout that. But I think sometimes, one fails to realise that a living can = life. You can be doing the same thing everyday -studying, saving lives (doctor *cough cough*) - and you ARE earning a living - and that IS your life. The "living" can be meaningful, fun(subjective), monotonous and yet special (each patient is special/ each day holds a special meaning) at the same time.

I was googling live, love and laugh because its the 3 L's that pretty much what one should do it life - and then I saw this. the 4th L. Read daddy/ Eldwin's post bout learning(note: no 6 from the top if you just want to read his thoughts on the subject.

The 4th L - Learn. And the 4 L's of life summarized impeccably in this little colourful diagram - Live, Love, Laugh, and Learn.

On another note, I saw and took this quiz(note: below) from Jene's blog. Logical mathematical thinker, intrapersonal thinker. I think I am an interpersonal thinker too, but guess the 2 the quiz highlighted are my stronger personaties? what do you think? sounds like me? :)

Thinker quiz : what your results say about you
	Some people have a strong preference for one style of thinking, and find some skills come more naturally than others. Other people tend to adopt different thinking styles in different situations. This test gives you an idea of what your current thinking style or styles are. But remember - the brain is a very adaptive organ. You should be able to improve your performance in any one of these categories with practice. The Renaissance ideal The leading thinkers of the Renaissance were not just experts in their own field.
