WE NEED TO START WRITING!!



So, after some thoughts we believe that one thing that is missing from our training system is emphasizing on using effective language. And since none of us are that good at it to point it out during regular training time, we thing it would be best that if everyone can independently train it.
We believe that the use of effective language is not something that can be taught, but something that needs to be habituated, thus you can catch yourself when you are using too many words that means the same thing. Too long a sentence to explain a simple argument thus wasting seconds off of your precious speech. -Exhibit A of using too many words.-

So we decide to adopt a writing exercise.
In college we are demanded to write a lot. Thousands of words and pages upon pages. 
WE WANT TO BREAK THAT HABIT. 

So the exercise will force you to explain yourself in a limited amount of words.
With structure.

GAME PLAY:: Let’s call it Journal Entry

Word limits :: 230 – 260
Structure::
Opening
Paragraph (3 paragraph, representing 3 different point)
                Main sentence
                Supporting sentence
Conclusion

Topic:: Will be given but mostly simple ones. But if you need help getting started, just google Journal Prompts. Those are mostly suitable for middle school kids, but before we brace the more complicated topics, let’s start here. 

POSTING MECHANISM::

  • you can either write with the admin account, or your own gmail account. (if you want to use your gmail acc, please contact devi so that you can be added. BUT IT IS HEAVILY ENCOURAGED YOU USE YOUR OWN GMAIL. so that we dont get too much log in for this account and get locked out again.
  • Each person that participated please create your own Writer Tag, in the post page --> Label. FORMAT :: NAME-BATCH ex:: Devi-2015, this writer tag will be your identifier  so that it is easy for Training Div to Check.
  • for every Entry use you WRITE TAG and the week of the year label ex: March 12 - 18, 2018 is week of the year 11. Look up :: Week of the year.
  •  For every entry please provide TITLE, the journal prompts/topic of the piece and the word count.



RULES::

  • Each person willing to participate in this exercise needs to submit minimum of 3 journal entries each week.
    Each submission will be worth 10 points 
  • Clear and satisfactory entry will be granted additional 5 points
    Unclear entry (with too much word of messages not deliveres, or lack of structure) will be deducted by 5 points.  
  • Entry that exeds word limit will be deducted by 5 points. 


We still don’t know what this point system is for yet. There might be reward, there might not be. Who knows~~
But the point is GET WRITING AND MAKE IT SHORT!!

Stress in a Capitalistic World, Part II : Value in Society, Value in Yourself

Most of the articles I relate to call what I'm experiencing a "burnt-out". It's different from feeling tired after working 24 hours on a useless paper or homework. It's not something that can be alleviated with relaxation. Although the term is mostly use to describe fatigue simply caused by overwork, some psychologists disagree and so do I. The easiest way to analyse this is finding the root of why people push themselves to prioritize work over all else anyway? Why can't they relax, meditate, take a vacation, and why are all those solutions  useless ? It's because they literally can't . If they do, the attempts will only make them worsen their anxiousness of possible repercussions. There's this compulsive desire, an overarching anxiety that whatever you do, however you improve, you are never satisfied. Got a promotion? There's a higher position. Became the CEO? You have to expand the business. And so on, and so on, and it never stops. And ...

Why I Started Writing Again

PROMPTS :: Your writing journey. Since I started high school I stopped writing, I got too busy preparing for the 6 rounds of exams I ended up taking. And when I started Uni, things just got busier. Such a big difference from my junior high days, I wrote 4-7 journal entries for English class, much like this one. And I found that I miss writing, though I couldn’t say that my pieces are anything life changing to the readers, but to me it means something. Because with writing I get to say things I don’t usually get to say out loud. Be it because I was too shy, I was insecure about my position, I might hurt the person I was speaking to, or I haven’t got the words at the time. Writing gave me so much freedom in terms of access to my own brain. Because when I write I’m usually not doing anything else, and I get to focus on my own thought. Like having a conversation with yourself. And this opens up so many sides of yourself you don’t normally get to know. It’s liberating in a w...
