Cain_Regina_Week1_Comment on Joshua Randolf's blog
I’m a pragmatic person by nature. This being the case, the third chapter of our reading in The Art of Possibility was the most meaningful section for me. I loved the how the author was able to literally apply the principal of “Giving an A” to his music students and see the power of change that it offered. It seems that communicating your approval and expectation of excellence in another person before actual demonstration can have a powerful impact on the results.
Joshua,
I am not sure if I agree with you are not, although I loved the debate. I think that most students would want to prove to the professor that they deserved the A and would work harder for the fact that they were given the chance.
As far as the senses I totally agree with you. They have proven that humans are the worst witnesses to any type of crime. Our mind remembers what we want to see not what was actually happening. So as far as the sight sense it is not as accurate as the sense of smell for example.
Great thoughts. I did not think of the readings in either way you did and it stretched my learning. Thank you.

"While reading the first 3 chapters of The Art of Possibility, I was struck by this quote: “We perceive only the sensations we are programmed to receive, and our awareness is further restricted by the fact that we recognize only those for which we have mental maps or categories.” "
Tracy,
I tried adding this to your comments but it would not allow me to, but I also loved the dot puzzle. I use it often when speaking with accountants. Seriously we do need to provide our children with every opportunity there is in the world. How are they to reach their potential if they do not know what is out there for them to achieve. I applaud you working with such young people and not using the excuse, "They are too young to do that.
