Relax My Eyes.
When I was young I would watch tv with my dad; he would tell me he needed to rest his eyes sometimes when he was tired. Eventually, I caught on that he would just fall asleep after a while… but I think by then I was okay with it.
Sometimes we all need a little rest.
There is a concept of there being ‘wicked’ and ‘kind’ learning environments. A kind learning environment gives you very clear feedback and predictable results. A good example of this would be cooking. The feedback is always very clear and you have predictable results. That’s why we are easily able to manipulate the outcomes by changing single ingredients, ingredient amounts, etc. A wicked learning environment doesn’t give you clear feedback, and oftentimes results aren’t predictable. An example of this would be human interaction. You can’t approach any two people the same way. And we’ve all had the experience of saying the wrong thing to someone and getting an unpredictable outcome.
Be aware of what kind of learning environment you’re getting into and find success by being prepared.
The more that I live, the more sure I am that there is both less and more to life than we realize.
Stay warm out there. (:
