Last class we were talking about success and sharing our success stories.
We had a discussion on Richard St. John’s eight secrets of success, which are:
Serve
Passion
Work
Focus
Push
Good
Ideas
Persist
These are the big eight things which lead to success.
We viewed Raghava KK’s idea “Shake it” an art project, a children’s book for the I Pad. It’s about the fun things children do with their parents. The Different or the new idea here was that if you don’t like it shake it, the story and the perspective changes. It’s about shaking your perspective a little bit starting with children.
Later we were talking about what makes each of us successful? There was a lot of singing, dancing and sharing of ideas and work.
In the second half of the class we viewed Mallika Sarabhai’s Dance to change the world. Mallika a dancer/actor/politician tells a transformative story in dance -- and argues that the arts may be the most powerful way to effect change, whether political, social or personal. The Planner’s of this world have treated Art as the cherry on the cake it needs to be the yeast.
she challenges the traditional ending to fairy tales which have always been rather chauvinistic.
