Chapter 5. Leading from Any Chair: We’re all leaders. One of the main points that the chapter pointed out is the "engaged". It doesn't matter what chair we're sitting on at the moment that we all need to be engaged with each other. To show our appreciation to the facilitators or conductors or the ones who help us make our dreams become reality is to become engaged with them. When we're engaged, it shows that we care not only in what they do but also what we do. It also shows our commitment to the ones who we listen to. This brings up a point that we need to have passion in what we do and commitment inorder to make a different in the people who we influence each day. Imagine doing something that we lack a passion for, the work we do also lack of our appreciation, and the results won't be great.Week 3- Comment 2

Chapter 5. Leading from Any Chair: We’re all leaders. One of the main points that the chapter pointed out is the "engaged". It doesn't matter what chair we're sitting on at the moment that we all need to be engaged with each other. To show our appreciation to the facilitators or conductors or the ones who help us make our dreams become reality is to become engaged with them. When we're engaged, it shows that we care not only in what they do but also what we do. It also shows our commitment to the ones who we listen to. This brings up a point that we need to have passion in what we do and commitment inorder to make a different in the people who we influence each day. Imagine doing something that we lack a passion for, the work we do also lack of our appreciation, and the results won't be great.Chapter 6. Rule Number 6: Don’t take yourself so seriously. Life is a journey–enjoy and learn along the way. Live, laugh, and love!! This is so true that if we're happy, those who are around us will also be happy. I know there will be times up and down in our life, but if we just try to take those negatives turn into positives, it will not only help us being happy or feel better but also those who are around us. The chapter brought up one of the points which was crucial in developing our emotion toward things and people we interact - central self. It's like being yourself. Some people change their self for better or worse. But being yourself, it will make each days happier for yourself but also the people who love you, afterall they love you for who you are. Isn't that why we are together with the ones we love because of who they are?
Chapter 7. The Way Things Are: Sometimes settling for the way things are is a lowering of expectations, sometimes it’s finding a starting point so that one can make things better. Where are you in this continuum? Good question. I'm always expecting a high end result and often disappointed myself alot because of that. If I don't achieve something I planned for, I'm disappointed. I set the expectations high so that I can thrive my hard to get there. If I fail, I know at least I can learn some great things in the process. The old saying "failure is the mother of success", so I thrive for the highest expectations as always.
Chapter 8. Giving Way to Passion: Control says that the only way to avoid disappointment and frustration is to not care at all. No hits, no runs, but most importantly, no errors. What are you doing in your daily life that expresses your passion or the things you are passionate about? I love games, and I also create them too. Sometime, in the process of creating games, the process becomes harder or I'm sometime clueless on what to do. I often quit creating games for few hours or days and play the game that I love. I usually get my passion lift up again when playing something I love. It's a great way to search of my passion again after some frustrations.
My comment to Dien
Dien:I really liked how you express at the end how you play your favorite games when you get tired or your ideas are over while creating your own games. I agree with you, we are humans and our ideas sometimes are turned off by tiredness, overwork and many other factors. I also think is important to stop for a moment and find the motivation on what we do, our passion. It is a necessary step if we want the to see great results.
