Pre Assessement

Posted by: Student Tai on: December 23, 2009

Communication part one

  1. If I make a mistake I do not beat myself up about it. Everybody makes mistakes but that is not to say I ignore it. I learn from my mistakes and make sure I do not make the same mistake again. Mistakes are inevitable but we should do our best to make sure we avoid them. If I make a mistake I will meditate on it to keep myself at peace. I remember my duty as a Jedi and make sure I learn from the experience.
  2. If I come across something I do not know I can deal with I will be more careful and aware of what I am doing. But I will not give up on myself I will persevere with it until I can accomplish it. But although I will not give up I will not tunnel my focus, I will let it go as there is always another day.
  3. When I am communicating with another person I will listen to what they have to say before giving out advice. I will wait till I understand the situation then give my advice. I look for information among the understanding. If I understand then the knowledge lies within it. It’s just a matter of finding it.
  4. I will usually ask questions before sharing my own, but some questions have to be wary of as some people do not like to ask questions. Also I will ask relevant questions. Then I will share my own.
  5. If I expect someone to do something and they do not I will not beat myself up about it. I may be a bit irritated but it will not be much of a problem, there is always time to try again. Just a matter of being patient and letting people succeed in their own time. Meditation will help take away the irritation.
  6. If someone walks away I have a choice, I can go and do my best to stop them or I let them go and sort it out themselves. It depends on the situation, if I feel they will do something stupid such as take their life or hurt someone or themselves it’s my responsibility to help them get out of that state of mind. If it’s something little and they are just annoyed and frustrated best to let them go and let their anger out.
  7. I am not a very angry person so I do not get angry communing with others.
  8. I hear myself sometimes saying that’s awful or that’s great but mainly to other people. When someone comes to you with stories I suppose it shows them you are interested. But I use it on the occasion but I try not to over to it as not everything can be just awful or just great.
  9. I find myself sometimes not understood but usually it comes clear to people within a matter of time. All I have to do is be patient and soon enough they will understand.

10.  Yes it is as it is putting forward bait to an argument, since it is an opinion there is bound to be someone who will disagree. Statements of facts are statements that give an opening mark for an argument.

11.  Fizzy juice is horrible.

12.  It is an assumption that the light will be green as you cannot predict something that hasn’t happened yet and could quite possibly be red or amber.

13.  Because we may not all believe in god. Indeed if you believe in god and that’s your belief then you can stick by it but we have our own views so saying we feel it to is assuming we all believe that to. No because I do not believe in god so I do not feel that way. However the force is not god, If the force was god then would there be any need for Jedi because we have Muslim’s or Christians so we would just be one of them to?

Interesting responses tai-da! I think you’ll learn a lot in this course =]

This all looks reasonably good to me Tai, about all I’d like to say is:

‘I may be a bit irritated but it will not be much of a problem, there is always time to try again. Just a matter of being patient and letting people succeed in their own time. Meditation will help take away the irritation.’

Reading this response (section 5) I will say that it is normal to be irritated in this sort of situation, and the key is to release the expectation, to practice non-attachment. This is much easier said than done, but with practice you’ll find that the period of irritation should last only a few minutes at best. Additional to this, letting go (and avoiding further irritation) entails not mulling over incident, which usually manages to reawaken irritation.

I have read your responses and look forward to comparing them to the end of the course assessment with you.

thank you for taking the time to answer these questions honestly as it is from the point which is created by answering them in which you start your training in Jedi Communications.
