Week 7WK 6 Module 1 Due Dec 8: Post your Reflection and Commitment Blog Post 7 in your Habits blog
Sharpening the saw means 1) investment 2) be balanced. Dr. Pumpian points out the way we are invest our money and time to do this program is sharpening our saw. For doing this program, I took one year leave, I am not full time teaching, only subbing. So that I can balance my family, work and study. I now feel more charged with new knowledge and information. Confident more, I believe I can do more job better next year. A Chinese saying said “sharpening your knife won't waste your time for cutting your faggot”, the same English saying is “A beard well lathered is half shaved.” When we get balanced of our life, health, family and work, we will live more happily. When I try to send this message to those first grade girls, we first did the gesture of sharpening a saw. Then I read a story to them of the Chinese old saying about “sharpening your knife won't waste your time for cutting your faggot”. Then we had girls divid into two groups, one group did a little skit of sharping the knife, and then cut the faggot; the other group of girls didn’t sharpen the knife, just kept cutting the faggot. Then I asked them what did they think the result would be. The first group of girl said they will have more energy to cut more trees while the other group said they were too tired to cut any tree. After that, we extended our question to their life. Some of the girls said they had too many after school classes and she didn’t have time to do homework, other girls complained they had to practice piano everyday. One girl said “I was free, I didn’t need to learn anything if I don’t want to.” The other girls showed jealous to her.
