I think it depends on your personality. I think people who don't like change are people who attach themselves to things so that they have an emotional relationship with them. This can be bad and good.emilyhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12312299775311940765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8725119065682380474.post-68173836217948947972008-02-01T09:25:00.002-08:002008-02-01T09:25:00.002-08:00I dont think your setting yourself up for dissappo...I dont think your setting yourself up for dissappointment because you have a plan.

A song can be 3 minutes long but there's so much work that went into that one song, to make it flow and sound good.

I am having a hard time understanding this chapter and really the only thing I am relating to is sports so your phoen example is really helpful. How do you think they came up with the idea because something like that had never been thought of before, do you think they had symphony in mind when creating it?agoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172824853297486634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8725119065682380474.post-23407681352722832632008-02-01T09:23:00.002-08:002008-02-01T09:23:00.002-08:00Kayln, say you are planing to go to a this college...Kayln, say you are planing to go to a this college and are almost certain that you can get in... and one day in the mail you receive a letter from the college and you were denied the acceptance... then what do you do???catherinechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901102340760522697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8725119065682380474.post-19787315930528013982008-02-01T09:23:00.001-08:002008-02-01T09:23:00.001-08:00raelangas, I think maybe it's easier to understand...raelangas, <BR/><BR/>I think maybe it's easier to understand if you are a little older, but on the other hand, I think it's a great time to think about how to look at things differently.<BR/><BR/>I think some of the exercises at the end of the chapter are some great ways to think about how to do that.<BR/><BR/>My example is--I use the Flickr.com website to put my pictures up. I noticed there was a website where you could use people's flickr pictures of letters of the alphabet to spell things.<BR/><BR/>I thought, how cool--taking pictures of just "letters" or words.<BR/><BR/>So it helped me see photography differently. Now I take photos of interesting words or letters all the time and I never would have noticed them before.<BR/><BR/>I don't think that you have to be any certain age to have an "aha" moment!Carolyn Footehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07581454611313810543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8725119065682380474.post-26792581340779220462008-02-01T09:23:00.000-08:002008-02-01T09:23:00.000-08:00Carolyn Foote - I totally agree!

To listen to other tell about how they live their lifes and such would give me ideas for my own life. Every person forms their stroy from all the different relationships in their lives, which relates back to symphony. Some dont like change which i think makes them less maintenece while other need change so as not to be bored and they are a bit hgiher maintence. Which isnt bad or good, just a way of life. Which one are you or do you disagree?OliviaOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106136670826868876noreply@blogger.com
