I almost forgot to write about my first few impressions of the D.C course which started several weeks ago.

The course itself was actually quite useful I got to think about the things that have been bothering me at home. This revelation, or whatever appropriate word one might want to use to describe this positive experience, was definitely helped by the fact that I'm actually away from home this summer.

The first two weeks revolved around making positive impacts on our daily lives and hence our future lifetime. This is related to making, (and here I will simply copy down my worksheet) professional breakthroughs [note that everything that was said here is related to enhancing your one's own relationship with others]. For my three professional breakthroughs, I decided that I want and will make a commitment to practice active learning. I also want to be able to have a personal conversation with other people that I would like to know better, and, especially people that I'm shy around (it used to be the case that I got quite shy around people that I like or am attracted to, and would secretly want to get to know them better and become good friends).

I realized that everybody have some professional breakthroughs that they all want to achieve, or desire. Those are mine for the time being, until I have successfully mastered them or am confident enough that making a commitment has passed it's initial difficulties.
