Wk2 Reading

To practice, teaching oneself to become a contribution gives me a sense of realization as a part of this global existence that all living things are intertwined with one another. I think that the pride of ownership concept is close to feeling as a contributor because in the end the changes are both good.

I was reading and the memories stirred up in my head about a boy that was convinced by his teachers that he was failure, no good student, useless individual in the classroom, and stupid. That boy continued growing up and got to high school due to his father's pressure on him. The first day of classes in chemistry he was placed in the leaders chair when he answered a question that no other student could answer right away. He had to share to the class how to arrive to a simple explanation of the chemical reaction presented, so he became temporarily a leader. That day "La Moiza" ,(The teacher), empowered the life of that young man and sent him all the way to compete for the top performers for the next three years of high school. I associate the opportunity to give someone a chance to be all that they can be as an empowerment that can be used over and over, like that boy has done.

Rule Number Six was a treat that brings a view of how humor may change the outcome of any situation, and maybe even used in serious situation appearing uncontrollable. Agreements take place easily when there is an open and sincere approach when searching for the truth, like the case in the story of the old and young partners.
