For Monday in PSY-101...
After the discussions today regarding integrity, the law of attraction, and the positive opposite theory, please select at least one of the subjects and write a (minimum) half page sharing a situation that applies to you and your life.
Integrity: Assuming you accept the definition that integrity is the alignment of our words with our actions and vice-versa, what is a time or situation where your alignment broke down, or, otherwise stated, where you went out of integrity with regard to your actions not representing your words, and how would you clean up your loss or break in personal integrity?
Law of Attraction: Think of a time that you said at the outset that the day or experience was going to be a certain way and then it was (positive or negative) - where did your energy go? How could you change the outcome (if negative) - what might you have said to yourself different?
Positive Opposite Theory: Think of a negative experience, what would be a way to put a positive spin on it - the outcomes appear negative, but the invitation is to look a little deeper for the less obvious positive outcome. Describe this to me, both the original experience and the newly found positive outcome.
Monday (10/06) will be a continuation of our assertiveness dialogue and a conversation on personality types - recall from the book the dolphin, the owl, the squirrel, and the bear.
Wednesday will wrap up the chapter, and will focus on our belief systems. Chapter III assignments are due Wednesday (10/08).
There is NO CLASS next FRIDAY -- 10/10/2008.
Anyone can blame; it takes a specialist to praise. -Konstantine Stanislavski

it is easy to give out criticism and blame others for why you are who you are. It is much harder to tell people they are good and point out characteristics that you like.
Its an everyday thing to blame someone else for something we have done, but its difficult for us to point out the the good things in each other.
blame is pretty LAME!
yet praise can be misinterpreted
or misappropriately given so easily.
imagine a world full of praise and happiness where it did not rightfully have a place. Who would know when something they did was out of line if they still got praised for it?
this statement to me seems to represent an impossible utopia that even if it was possible would be so incredibly instable that a mere mention of blame, or even prasie within this doomed utopia would be the death of it.
Yet i entirely agree that credit should be given when due...
i gotta stop doing these posts when im so tierd... i just confuse myself...
ice ice my peeps

no one wants to be held responsible for bad things, so they place blame on someone else.
everyone wants to take credit for good things, so they don't give credit to the person who deserves it, hoping they may somehow receive the credit themselves.
