We have to keep good records because it creates discipline around it which makes our lives. Good records are making good stories and around our stories, we are inspired by the amazing storytellers that we have.
How can we use this opportunity to hone our skills?
Beginning, I think to focus on these questions and showing their answers why? What? Who? Where, When? And then going back, this really big question of why. So there’s a lot of discussion around starting with why. Like if you know your why everything will follow from that. I’m not always sure that’s the best tack. I think sometimes when we do things for one reason, we actually recognise retrospectively that they have significance for something. (_by Marsha)
And this is how I thought about her opinion. I think it’s very productive and very instrumentalized. It is very important to be a storyteller especially when you want to impact in your history.
It is always important to store that your storytelling is relevant and the story you are telling is also relevant. I agree with Alia’s thought that this is actually telling the experience of perception of an experience to someone.
The heroes of our own story
How do we connect them?
By unique experiences to shared understanding.
Listening to hear or listening to respond.
This idea of connection, shared experiences, we can have unique experiences that that can be shared understanding perhaps. And I think maybe that’s where the storytelling is a very powerful tool because. You can hear someone’s story and then maybe related back to something that you have, you’ve experienced yourself and maybe an example I can share as I did a project where I got people to. Find a piece of cloth and textile that was meaningful to them. And then I asked them to go through a sort of sensory process of remembering. So their connection, you know, I’ve got them to feel and think and smell and can’t drop their story related to the text. And then they wrote about it and then shared. As we look through the stories, it was like a stories of humanity. So someone could have a very specific, unique story about their piece of cloth. (_Marsha)
This would be the resourcing experience.
I really like the title of Youtube “Homework for Life”. If you say, ‘homework’, it means something that must be done or something you have to do as a duty. When I was in high school years, ‘homework’ to me was something I did not want to do. It was because ‘homework’ was a duty that I ‘had’ to do and I really did not like it. Duty takes responsibility and if you say ‘homework for life’ it means you have a responsibility in your life. That means you should be living with a responsible attitude. A life could mean everyday life. And I asked myself, ‘How do you spend your day?’, and I couldn’t answer with confidence.
And I thought I should think differently. What if I change the duty to wanting. Don’t think the homework as a duty, but think as if you are willing to do it for your life. If you live your day for you, this will be added like a footstep in your life. If you trace back your trip it will look like a journey to you.
