REVIEW week began with reviewing the conversations – how frequently we talk about our interests, struggles, and needs? The weekly planning was not meeting mentor but to meet the group and have a conversation about current thoughts about self – Some spoke a little, some spoke more, some reflected, some gathered the courage to speak – Dream or money? Business or job? Science or Commerce? School or open schooling? 10th or no 10th? The struggle of maths? Distractions or focus? Business is tough or collecting degrees? Go for natural talent or money? English or maths? Maths for day to life or for exams? English for language or for communication? Just interest or different types of techniques? Challenging task or comfort of home?
Reviewing the concept of freedom – Freedom word sounds very liberating and often scary. the struggle comes when it comes to “freedom with responsibility”. The open learning is not about easy choice but making own choices. Freedom is not without responsibility “I take the freedom to use resources the way I want to, what about the responsibility to care for that resource? I take the freedom to choose what I want to do (comfort zone), but what about the responsibleness of what I need to (challenging goal)?”
Freedom is not free, it comes with a cost. Cost of the challenge to me, cost of discomfort for me – words coming out of review – Focus, Conscious, Exposure, Experience, Unchained, Work, Appropriate, Plan, Confusion, Tools, Usage, Cautious, Mindfulness, Create, Research, Create, Control, Care, Communicate, Effect, Coexistence, Equal, Help, Understanding, Feelings, Needs, Mentor, Advise, Respect, Safe, Bother, Distraction, perfection, Commitment, Clarity, Expertise, Awareness, Purpose, Commitment, Self aware, Balance, Improve, Thoughts, Safety, Harmony, Support, Cocreate, Sensible, Cooperate.
