‘It’s highschool, it’s bullshit’ – An Enlightening Attitude?

January 15, 2008

Teacher

I never would’ve expected something like that to enlighten me in any way.

Countless people have told me that the key to success in the world is a good attitude. Great. Thats easy. I just start to love my work and…whabam! Miracles.

However…

Sometimes repeating “I love work, I love work. I love work” doesn’t work. Sometimes work doesn’t give that love back. So, sometimes it takes a completely unconventional approach to kickstart that work into behaving itself.

I went out on a fragile limb – revisited my old attitude: Studying is a ‘waste of time’ and there are better ways to learn. As soon as I began to realize (again) that studying isn’t worth the time I put into it – I began to look for ways to speed up how I do school-related anything.

I was led to a site on holistic learning – it helps you to understand concepts better by linking them to things you already know.

This what I discovered via thinking it’s highschool, it’s bullshit, you’re missing out on life, fix it now.

Holistic Learning

But never say die.

So thats how I realized that you need to recognize that there is a problem before you can really solve it. Until you see that something is not right, it will keep getting worse.

An artist – blindfolded – painting a picture of a red rose in green paint will not remix the paint to fix his mistake. Take off the blindfold – make him aware that he’s got the wrong color – and he can turn the rose to red in no time.
