“The art of thriving” has 5 elements: Work, Relationship, Renewal, Physical Health and Purpose. They are necessary to become a leader, but it is difficult to get the skills. As far as I am, I need more efforts to achieve. Especially, I tend to neglect balance between Work and Physical Health. For example, when I have assignments which I have to finish by the same deadline, I often fail time management to complete them. I have to stay awake till the late hours, so I do not get enough sleep almost the every day. However, the Spartans mention “You cannot have a healthy mind without a healthy body.” Therefore, I have to acquire the skill which I manage my work to get enough sleep. Keep the balance is the highest priority for me.
What I have to change my condition:
I sort out a lot of things by making a to-do list, and then I finish my tasks effectively to ensure adequate sleep.
In addition, I heard the sentences before, “I can always tell when someone is trying to copy me or another musician. Sometimes you have to play for a long time before you can play like yourself.” The words are true. For example, everyone can speak their own mother tongue by imitating their surroundings like mother, father. Then, they express their feelings in their ways.
Hi Ayaka,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you mention that Miles Davis quotation in the end, and relate it to how we can each learn to play like ourselves by expressing our feelings in our own ways.

I like the phrase "You cannot have a healthy mind without a healthy body."
ReplyDeleteI also cannot manage time well, and when the deadline comes near to me, I am always upset and awake late to do the assignment.
I hope you can take care of both of your body and mind.
Hi, Ayaka.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your idea. I also have to keep the balance.
Nowadays, I make to-do list. It is good for me to keep my mind tough, and it gives me a sense of accomplishment!:)
Let's make the best of assignment together!!
