Re: You can gain a lot from teaching...
Hi Dien,
Thanks for your warm welcome! Your insightful words about teaching are so true! Your take on writing about one's self makes me eager to sit down and organize my thoughts and write about me. If it works like you say it does, and you don't know why it does, then I suppose it's just magic. In part of my self-help, I want to be as comfortable writing as I am with talking. I talk up a storm. In fact, I just joined Toastmasters a little while back. I went as a guest with one of my friends and had so much fun there. They have a segment called 'Table Talk' where you pick a topic at random and get up and talk about it. I was anxious to take the podium. They suggested that I let at least 2 others go before me so I can see how it's done. On my turn, I pick a topic and wind up with 'p-mops'. What a boring topic I got! In my 44-second talk, I go on about how I have no intimacy with mops, 'cause I don't like to clean...You can make dolls with them...Bang an intruder on the head etc. etc. When I got evaluated, I found out that p-mops means 'Procedural Model of Problem Solving'! The audience was too kind. I couldn't stop laughing about that one:-) I found out at the next meeting why the audience was so kind. The evaluator at the last meeting was the only one in the room who knew what it meant. Anyway, I've been delaying my first ice breaker speech because I have to WRITE it. You've broken some ice here and I thank you for that! Best wishes, Barbara |
