big rocks




                                                                     Big Rocks





        The point of this video was for Stephan Covey  to help us/people understand the meaning of life by playing a game with the audience, The game was he chose someone from the audience by making them introducing themselves . Then he made her put the important things ( which were the big rocks )
under the small things that don't really matter in life ( the small rocks ) . The woman couldn't really fit all of the big rocks into the box , he gave her another empty box and told her try filling these things with another order maybe you'll be able to fit them all . She chose this choice and put the important things that mattered in life ( big rocks ) before the things that didn't really matter ( small rocks ).And all of the rocks ended up filling the whole box precisely.

        The importance of life is to  love one another go on  vacation , have  relationships and family , not having employment issues ,  working on major projects ,  being a part of services and communities , accomplishing big opportunities and many more . The little things in life also matter however not as much as the small ones. Examples of the little things in life are having a good hair day , a perfectly popped bag of popcorn , these things make our lives happier but not like the big things and thats why you have to take care of the big and important things in life .


      The unimportant things in life don't matter like you probably know . Some of these things are like why you ended your relationship with someone or why you got fired from your amazing job. A lot of people like teachers, parents etc. try to make you forget about them. You can forget about these little bad things in life by having company by the people you love around you or reminding yourself to think about something else when a bad memory comes in mind . A lot of people are now rethinking the meaning of life because of their history with people or places , but they should also start remembering the good things in life as well .

Who was Socrates? What is the Socratic method?

Who was Socrates? What is the Socratic method? Socrates was a philosopher known as "the father of philosophy". He was known to teach, yet he only taught 3 students because it was in the old ages. Socrates didn't write anything down and all the information we know now are from the students he taught before. Socrates was a classical Greek philosopher credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy, and as being the first moral philosopher, of the Western ethical tradition of thought. Socrates wasn't only known for philosophy but known for Greek Western Philosophy. He was also the first moral philosopher.  Socrates didn't give up philosophy even after he was given a death sentence. He was hated by everyone in his town because of his sayings. He believed that only the people who believe they don't know are the intelligent ones. " The only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing" -- a quote that Socrates used to tell Plato and the 2 ...

The Danger of a Single Story - TedTalk

  The Danger of a Single Story       This TedTalk is about a girl from Nigeria, who has lived there up until she had to leave home to study abroad in the US. She talks about how she used to judge her new house boy because the only image she had of him was that he was poor. Then, when she went to college in the US, her roommate judged her based off of the idea that she is from Nigeria. However, as she got to know her, the roommate then realized that they have a lot of similarities.      Relating why she was telling these stories, she focuses on the fact that a single/ one sided story  isn't going to lead to anything throughout the whole TedTalk. In my opinion, it is exactly like a story with different perspectives. Listening to only one side of a story, is as useless as having just one pair of a shoe. For example. the roommate was only listening to what she was hearing from the people around her, and seeing on social media. These were all a si...

Grit - spoken by Angela Lee Duckworth

  Grit        Angela Lee talks about something I've always believed in. That is that the students who are doing better in school than others, doesn't necessarily mean they are smarter. I've always believed in that because the students who do better in school are the ones that are only able to memorize, rather than actually understand. They are not trying to better themselves with knowledge that they can seek by themselves. They take the knowledge from their teachers and just apply it on tests.           Not that I wasn't one of these students, I very much were. I sued to study just for the sake of passing, nit worrying about if I'll remember the things I've learned after applying it on the tests and quizzes. However, as I've grown and realized that I was passing school in a very wrong way, I changed that habit. A very big part of changing that habit was changing school systems. Everytime I talked with anyone about school systems, th...
