Week 3 Reading: Art of Possibility, Chapters 1-6

-

I got trapped by this book from the very first page. After watching the videos embeded in the activity for this week my expectation about the book and about the writers were very high. I must say that I was not disspointed at all, actually it caught my attention in a way that I could not stop reading the book, that happens to me every time I read a book that really inspires me and makes my imagination take flight.

The whole idea proposed by Rosamund and Benjamin Zander is really interesting and makes a lot of sense. I have heard many ideas and read about many new techniques to be succesful in what you do for a living, but I had never before seen one that it is based in a simple idea that can be put into practice by anyone without doing a major effort from your side. All of the first six chapters of this book are based on examples and results that you can obtain if you change the way you see your problems. I have actually made myself questions similar to the ones mentioned in the book, and I have for some time now believed in the same idea that if everything that we based our lives on was invented, then why not invent new rules or ways to see and do things that are closer to what our reality is, doing this we can have different results than the ones we can predict.

In my thesis I am applying exactly the principle that the authors are prophecing, I am creating new frameworks to look at the educational system in Costa Rica, so it can be adapted to the globalized world in which we live and the future fields of study that the country is pursuing.

From the last chapters of this book, there was one idea that got stuck in my mind: tell the story of "WE" and not the story of "I". How deep is this concept, and how powerful are its implications. If you think about it for a minute then you will discover that this idea has been around for centuries and many religions includes it as part of the "rules" you must follow to have a healthy and prosperous life. The whole preaching of Jesus Christ is centered around this idea. If we eliminate the individuality and we begin thinking in the community then problems like the egoism and violence can be erradicated from the face of the earth. I am convinced that somewhere along the way in the history of humankind, we have lost some of the values that separate us from the rest of the living beings that exists in this planet. The question here is: Are we going to be able to go back and recuperate those values before it is too late?. Well, the answer to this question i

Siempre se ha dicho que hay dos personas que asumen el poder en una producción: el productor y el director. Mientras el productor se encarga de realizar el trabajo pesado de sacar la producción avante, haciéndose cargo de la administración de los recursos y la coordinación de los distintos grupos de trabajo; el director se encarga de darle el alma, visión, y objetivo a la misma. Pero el trabajo del director no es sencillo, ya que debe contagiar a todos los diferentes integrantes de la producción de su visión, para que éstos funcionen de manera integral en busca del máximo objetivo: transmitir el mensaje que se quiere dejar en la audiencia en cada toma, escena y acto de la producción. Lograr ese cometido es un arte que se perfecciona día con día y que requiere de mucha sabiduría por parte del director, para saber lidiar con las personalidades y diferentes formas de trabajo de su equipo de producción.
