Chapter+13

Choose two of the following that you agree/disagree with most and support your reasons why.

Reality #1: Self-discipline, organization, and structure are keys to creative work. Ellen: I disagree with self discipline and organization because you do not really need those to be creative. Noah: I agree because those are the kinds people that invent stuff. Emily: I agree because it is hard to be creative if you do not have the discipline or organization. Grace Z: I disagree because you don't always have to have these things to do creative work. Grant: I disagree because creativity can be expressed without these things.

Reality #2: Self-discipline, organization, and scheduling are skills that can be practiced and strengthened, not traits that some people have and others don't. Noah: i agree because all those things are habits and parts of our personality. Emily: I agree because I have learned through personal experiences that you only get better at organization, self-discipline, and scheduling if you continually work at it and if you practice. Carrington: I agree because the older you get, the more you have to be organized and schedule everything in your life (like sports and work) so you get better at using these skills. Grace Z: I agree because you can always get better at organization, self-discipline, and scheduling whether they are traits you have or not. Grant: I agree. Some are born with an instinct to be like this, but anyone can apply themselves and have these qualities.

Reality #3: Bright, gifted people may have to think more consciously about self-discipline because so much comes easily to them. Ellen: I agree because gifted people are more cautious of their actions. ( In my opinion.) Carrington: I agree because I feel like gifted people care more about the work they do and want to get it done. They don't procrastinate a lot and most the time never forget to homework. Grant: I agree because gifted people usually have a lot of care and put in a lot of effort into their work. Adding to Carrington's post: I DO procrastinate, and I am considered gifted. :(
