"JUST GO MAKE A PLAY"
To the left lies a picture of Dr. Orsak, a visiting leader to our leadership class who among others helped me in shaping my credo, he was the factor that helped me "keep it simple" yet still mean so much. Im an athlete and often i heard the phrase "go make a play" from my coaches I knew what it meant as soon as he said it, and people always said that sports teaches you ways to deal with life, but until this visit by Dr. Orsak I've never thought to apply that phrase to how i get things done in my life off the field.
Just make a play means do you, get things done the way you know how, often people stress or lose confidence when it comes to a new challenge the phrase strikes the competitor in me to take that new challenge on without any nerves.
Kevin,
ReplyDeleteThis is my first chance to write to you on the blog since you got it connected to the WIKI. Several thoughts.
First, your classroom participation, which is an important component of the final class grade, has been strong. You are willing to contribute, pose a question to a visiting leader, and/or add your thoughts on what we are discussing in class.
You are presently missing one blog post, which is your reflection on the lessons learned from interviewing your uncle (if, indeed, that is who you went ahead and interviewed). Let's try to get that in as soon as you can.
I would suggest that before you put your final blog post up that you review it for clarity. At times, as I read them, the central point you are trying to make can be lost amidst the multiple thoughts you are putting up there. Hone in on a main idea and articulate it clearly.
Your CREDO should be more your own than Dr. Orsak's! Try to take the thoughts you have in your ME post and craft a clear and memorable CREDO for yourself. Put it on paper and bring me a copy next week so I can get it laminated.
Let's have a good second half of the class!
