How Star wars conquered the universe

Chris Taylor (author of the name post) is quoted as saying "They would work very persistently toward a vision, but they were also very appreciative of happy accidents, very alive and awake to the value of spontaneity."

The they is reference to the Beatles, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.

I think that one could change it to "I will work very persistently..."

I am trying to live like this now as life is too short to have everything fit in a box. At the same time it is good to have some direction while allowing for the bumps and curves to take their place.  Good is good and bad is bad (another quote this time from Thumb Wars) They just happen and move all the time through them. God is good in all situations. My experience with God has brought me to a place that yes he is the truth and when we live in that we can handle anything that this life gives to us or others. What we must do is decide what we will do with the time (another paraphrased quote, can you work out what from?).

I for one have decided to enjoy life, people, God and the world a whole lot more and attempt to not sweat the small stuff. "Don't worry about tomorrow because tomorrow has enough of its own." Where's this from

Carry your bag this day and unleash yourself to the world. (This ones mine)

Writing Process Animation

As this blog is mainly to do with my journeys I have been on or am on, I thought that this was worth putting in this blog. I like how it uses a creative edge to demonstrate something all of us can do. Well done!! At the moment my professional development is focussed on writing. I am very aware that one cannot or should not teach in one area or without considering the student. This clip ticks all the boxes for me and I intend to use it directly with my kids even though it is designed for an older student clientele.
He states that one needs to work hard at it. That it just doesn't happen without perseverance.

Writing is a skill and as such needs to be taught, discovered, practised and applied and put in context.

ENJOY
