Writer Granny's World by Nancy Julien Kopp: Learning Is A Never-Ending Process

Geniuses at their weirdest best

2015-09-09T02:28:00.001-07:00

Reading biographies of great people have really led me to believe me that not only am I awesome but I'm a genius in the making :) On a serious note, all geniuses have some fabric of weirdism that runs through the pattern of their life. Enjoy reading the following threads......

Leonardo Da Vinci the renowned artist was noted for carrying his notepad around included things like jokes, fables, financial records--even theories on anatomy, flight, and botany.

Andy Warhol the 'pop art' maverick was a hoarder of stamps, souvenirs, photographs, and even food, in a cardboard box next to his desk. Many of these hoarded objects made their way into his time capsules.

Here's a fascinating glimpse into the surrealist art works of Salvador Dali ....he took micro naps that lasted about a couple of seconds, he'd hold a key in his hand and when he drifted off to sleep the key would slip and fall on a plate creating a loud *clink* waking him up from his 'micro nap'. This, apparently, according to him gave his creativity an instant boost.

Beethoven was such a coffee fiend that he would spend a major part of his morning looking for 60 coffee beans to make his favourite cup of java . Apparently, the artist was so picky that he wouldn’t trust anyone to make his first cup of coffee exactly to his liking and continued to brew his cup of coffee with the choicest beans till his last breath.

A.R. Rahman is known to record music only at nights, compelling well known Bollywood bigwigs to burn their midnight oil in order to belt out chartbusting music

Doesn't this prove that we're all more than the patterns of our daily routines and maybe some of these elements of weirdisms embroider themselves in such a way which results in the splendor that is YOU! :)

Are you in your element?

As far as I can tell, I’ve always had a book in my lap, my purse and these days in my laptop bag (probably the laptop and book arguing with each other daily on who’s better lol!). Well, there are some books that are to be internalized and their learnings to be shared with the people at large to put some humanity into humans (*wicked*)!

So here we go, the book that I live by and urge everyone to read it atleast once in their lifetime is

An elementary school teacher is giving a drawing class to six-year-olds. At the back of the room sits a girl who usually struggles to pay attention. Yet she’s totally absorbed during the art lesson. The teacher is fascinated and after 20 minutes asks the girl what she’s drawing.

“I’m drawing a picture of God,” says the girl without looking up from her masterpiece.

“But nobody knows what God looks like,” says the teacher.

“They will in a minute,” says the girl.

Author Ken Robinson loves telling this story because it reminds us just how confident kids are with their own imaginations. Ask a class of first graders who’s creative and Robinson says every hand will go up. Ask a class of college students and you’ll get far fewer hands. Ask around at work and you’ll be lucky to get a single hand.

He’s peppered the book with numerous life stories that are not only inspiring but completely transforming – if it’s not transformed my life, it sure has transformed my perspective about being in my element!

Here’s an interesting story – my 10 year old niece walked in while watching his ‘TED Video – do schools kill creativity’. She reads the title and says “yes, that is true” then walks out. She starts 5th grade next week :)

This one is a keeper! Stock up!

See you soon with another of my favorite books! Do comment and share favorite book!

The Cockroach theory

2015-08-18T12:37:00.001-07:00

Cockroach Theory

A beautiful speech by Sundar Pichai - an IIT-MIT Alumnus :

The cockroach theory for self development

At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady. She started screaming out of fear. With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky.The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but ...it landed on another lady in the group.Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama.

The waiter rushed forward to their rescue.In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter.The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt. When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.

Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach responsible for their histrionic behavior?

If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed? he handled it near to perfection, without any chaos.

It is not the cockroach, but the inability of those people to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach, that disturbed the ladies. I realized that, it is not the shouting of my father or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but it's my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me. It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs me. More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.

Lessons learnt from the story:

I understood, I should not react in life.
I should always respond.

The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded.

Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are always well thought of.

A beautiful way to understand............LIFE.

Person who is HAPPY is not because Everything is RIGHT in his Life..

he is HAPPY because his Attitude towards Everything in his Life is Right..!!

*******************************

Short History of SACCONEJOLYs

When Jonathan Joly married Anna Saccone they both decided that instead of Anna dropping her family name they would both take each others name and join them together.

They choose to use SACCONEJOLY rather then JOLYSACCONE simply because it sounded better.

Jonathan and Anna Saccone-Joly have two children, Emilia Saccone-Joly and Eduardo Saccone-Joly, they also have six maltese dogs, Albi, Sina, Theo, Bianca, Nivea and Nuvola.
