Topic > Learning Life Skills: Planning, Executing, and…

Our first topic was, “How can I work towards achieving something when I don't know what it is?” However, in the process we began to answer other questions. We all chose a topic from the Big Questions document that we would be interested in discussing. Next, we thought about how possible the question could be answered. For example, one of the options was: “Am I wasting time that I will regret later?” This is a fantastic question! I think about it all the time. However, I don't think it's a good conversation starter. I feel this way because I can easily summarize the answer as “Yes, I know.” That's all I want to say on this topic. If I were to go further and ask myself why? Then I would have him say “I'm trying to be productive, laziness is not a virtue, but the concept of time is different and wasting that time is what I feel like doing now!” “In the end I can only live in the present.” Any further discussion on this topic would be pointless and repetitive in my opinion. We thought the question we chose would be more challenging at the time. We commercialized the conversation by creating a poster. The poster was simple and only indicated when we were holding the question event, the location and what the topic would be. However, we knew word of mouth would be a better route for something like this. For this reason, we placed great emphasis on inviting friends and classmates from the Art and Science of Management. Since a large group was not required, we did not emphasize major publicity. We didn't have much turnout, it was us and two friends who attended, if we had planned a better time perhaps more people would have shown up. I know some of the people I marketed to weren't available around the time we met, however... middle of the paper... it was better in some ways It broadened my thinking about the future of technology in America and how there are so many things in life that we don't know. I also thought a lot about how strong our beliefs are and how much pull they can have on us. Dialogue is definitely a process that I will use in other situations in my life. Whenever I have to make a decision or do some kind of planning that involves another person, I believe that dialogue will be necessary. Even in everyday life, dialogue is essential in our ability to live together. I believe that being able to have a respectable dialogue with someone, regardless of whether you agree with them or not, is a necessary skill to possess. This is good because it can help you expand your point of view on topics. Having a dialogue with someone whose point of view differs from yours allows you to reach common ground with that person instead of arguing and arguing.
