EDM613 - WK 2 - Freebie - So much to do and so little time!

Adolyn, Blythe, Caligail, and Drew

Being the father of new born quadruplets has been such an amazing blessing. Seeing how I can make it on just a few (2-5) hours of sleep for days at a time just blows my mind. I think that is the way I have been able to keep up with the course work here at Full Sail. For those of you out there who think that you are having a difficult time, please hear my encouragement when I say to you "It can be done!" No matter what that "it" is, it can be done. So long as you have your mind set on completing the goal. Just as the authors of The Art of Possibility explain, we just need to see all the universe of possibilities and not the world of measurement. Yes, there are 24 hours in every day, but it is what you can do with those 24 hours that should be your focus.
Think of a jar, some sand, large rocks, medium rocks, small rocks and water. The large rocks stand for our highest priorities, so we put as many of those in the jar first. Then the medium rocks, representing the high priorities, the small rock for the priorities, the sand for the low priorities, and the water for everything else. If we concentrate on putting our life into this perspective, we are more able to see what we can do, and do not lose time wasting it on the things that do not matter.

  1. Wowza! Quadruplets, a full time job and Full Sail EMDT program all in one sounds much more difficult than anything I can come up with. Congratulations on your beautiful babies. You must be looking forward to finishing the program even more than me. We will be able to cherish the feelings of accomplishment and a job well done soon!

    How are you planning to attack the final presentation? Will you prepare your work to be published or are you planning to create a presentation?

  2. Spencer you are so right. I preach to my students that having a positive attitude you will have positive results. You can't be positive if you are negative. We have to all hang in there and when you tackle something challenging it is al worth while.
