HA! And here I thought I was giving myself 5 minutes prep time. I thought that the time was 10:30. Thanks, corrected.
I think prepping is a good idea. Everyone is born with a mind, he writes, but it is only through 1) introspection, 2) observation, 3) connecting the head and the heart, 4) making meaning of experience and 5) finding an organizing purpose that you build a unique individual self. When I look at the quote above, I see that the author has listed five ways that he hopes to build a unique self. (Philosophers out there, I'm not assuming that building "a unique self" is necessarily the highest value.) One could also look at any dozen people that we admire and who have made a difference. Would we agree that they observed those five principles to building a unique self. And wouldn't you say that creating your own playlist is part of building a unique self?
