As A Man Thinketh<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Assessment by Ermeco Sintayehu Asfaw (Ethiopia)<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1. What is the main idea that the author is trying to convey in the book?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0I think that in my understanding the main Idea of the Author\u00a0conveying\u00a0in the book is: any thought or vision found on the persons life becomes visible or reveled on the earth if the man\u00a0seriously\u00a0or\u00a0diligently\u00a0focused\u00a0is\u00a0thought\u00a0on his vision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. What were the seven ideas which were personally most important to you and why?\u00a0 List these seven ideas followed by an explanation after each one as to why it was important to you.\u00a0 Use personal examples from your own life.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n For this introductory book it is known that, there are seven points that differentiate on roman numbers. all this\u00a0points even as\u00a0a title\u00a0they gives me many lessons. so my seven lesson is generally focused\u00a0on the seven points. by the way, in each points I have got many lessons but\u00a0according\u00a0to the request I\u00a0focused\u00a0on the seven points only.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cA noble and God- like character is not a thing of favor or chance, but is the natural result of continued\u00a0effort in right thinking, the effect of long-cherished association with God-like thoughts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n I think and\u00a0believe\u00a0that, the above statement is correct and truth\u00a0because for reaching God-Like thoughts or to reach in good character\u00a0level the option is open for all peoples. any one whom needs to become on the\u00a0category\u00a0of right thinking, the word of God and The low of Good thinking is available to him. If any man, thinks right, his\u00a0thought\u00a0shaped\u00a0on Good manner. To say something from my personal example, I am so happy that, by the Grace of God and positive thinking of the word of God, my personal thoughts always\u00a0focused\u00a0on \u00a0right way, but am sure that this is the\u00a0continuous\u00a0counseling\u00a0and\u00a0lessons\u00a0of the word of God.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cA man does not come to the alms-house or the jail by the tyranny of fate or circumstance, but by the path way of groveling thoughts and base desires.\u201d Yes it is true that, every good things and bad things comes to our life\u00a0because\u00a0of our activity in the past.\u00a0Because\u00a0of that we must\u00a0focused\u00a0always on our\u00a0activity\u00a0on good manner.<\/span><\/p>\n iii. Control of mind and body.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe body is the servant of the mind.\u201d It is true that the control or the power point of our body is our mind. \u00a0Our mind is the command post of our body. So we must\u00a0think,\u00a0transfer\u00a0or\u00a0guide good and\u00a0correct\u00a0ideas for our body.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe universe does not favor greedy, the dishonest, the vicious, although on the mere surface it sometimes may appear to do so.\u201d\u00a0 Being greedy is not good and fare. In my personal life, I so hate to be\u00a0greedy.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cThe dreamers are the saviors of the world.\u201d \u00a0In this point we can see many savior of the world in a short king\u00a0martin\u00a0Luther and Joseph the son of\u00a0Jacob\u00a0becomes in my mind for this\u00a0quotation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe calm man, having learned how to govern himself, knows how to adapt himself to others.\u201d I\u00a0believe\u00a0that being calm is very important for everything, the calm man even can manage and\u00a0administrate\u00a0the city. Being calm and cool\u00a0being\u00a0patience\u00a0is important\u00a0characteristics\u00a0of being a human being and leader.<\/span><\/p>\n vii. Calmness continued<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe strong ,calm man is always loved and revered” this point also the continuation of the above: the calm man loves by many as\u00a0adviser. Being calm is so important as is feeling calm.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. <\/span><\/em><\/strong>How will these ideas or lessons help you in a practical way, both in your daily personal life and in helping you to create a better world? If so, how?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n These ideas\u00a0or lessons are helping me in many ways to grasp the important life\u00a0principles. For my personal life, it helped me to increase wisdom. The word of God says that, \u201cthe people with out knowledge is perish.\u201d\u00a0 So\u00a0taking\u00a0the above life\u00a0principle in my life saves me from negativity by increasing my capacity. For day to day activity knowledge is the basic principle. For example good thinking and thought helped me to mold my character for better life and \u00a0useful communication\u00a0with other people\u00a0because thought\u00a0plays an important role on\u00a0environment\u00a0and circumstances.\u00a0In addition to that\u00a0good thought plays an important rule on our health and body. We must\u00a0think\u00a0or speak well and wish good to our body too. If our thought is good the implication becomes also good for our health and mind. The other important point of gain is our\u00a0thought\u00a0must shape with our purpose. Our purpose must be clear and clean. Every one of our foot steps must follow our purposes\u00a0because\u00a0it plays a vital role for our\u00a0thought\u00a0achievement. Our visions and ideals should be similar\u00a0each other. To be\u00a0a beneficiary\u00a0on that we must fill with the\u00a0sprite\u00a0of calmness. \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n There are a lot of Quotes in the book.\u00a0 I can say many of them are teachable and\u00a0exemplary. Among them I will quotes one of them and include my comments.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cCalmness of mind is one of the beautiful\u00a0jewels\u00a0of\u00a0wisdom.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 5. Is there anything in the book that you do not understand or are unclear about, or are there ideas which you disagree with and, if so, why?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The book is clear and understandable.\u00a0 I read with joy by grasping a lot of knowledge\u00a0throughout the time.<\/span> I found that the book with wise manner\u00a0speak\u00a0that, about basic and\u00a0fundamental\u00a0issues for practical\u00a0assignment. From the fundamental issues what I learned that first of all thinking or\u00a0thoughts\u00a0are the basic fundamental element for our development and mental growth.\u00a0Because\u00a0of that, I was able to give more\u00a0concentration\u00a0to my thoughts again. In addition to that,\u00a0controlling\u00a0the wrong habit becomes a basic\u00a0necessary\u00a0element for me. I also understand that impure and malice thoughts may have bad\u00a0side effects. Generally\u00a0after reading this book, I have given the most attention for thinking. Without the best thinking, nothing happens for our life development. If we, think good things positively, we will bring best result for our circle of\u00a0influence.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 7. Was there anything you read in the book that you would like to comment on that was not covered in the previous questions?\u00a0 If so, please comment.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n In the last sentence of the topic \u201cserenity\u201d there are the\u00a0words that say \u201cSelf-Control is strength.\u201d When I read about this, I think that, if the book could elaborate something about self-esteem it would be helpful. Generally, this short book is very important for readers.\u00a0 I am glad I read it!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Please rate the following questions on a scale from 1 to 10.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Ten is good and one is poor. [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Jonathan Livingston Seagull<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Assessment by Ermeco Sintayehu Asfaw (Ethiopia)<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1. What is the main idea that the author is trying to convey in the book?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Always hearing our little voice in side is necessity. It is also\u00a0thinking \u201cout of the box\u201d that is very important. If we don\u2019t \u201cthink\u00a0we\u00a0could\u201d use the given\u00a0potential\u00a0that is created when we born and found within us.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 2. What were the seven ideas which were personally most important to you and why?\u00a0 List these seven ideas followed by an explanation after each one as to why it was important to you.\u00a0 Use personal examples from your own life.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Many times through out my life, I have had to make big\u00a0decisions\u00a0in my life. I\u00a0remember\u00a0more since my childhood from\u00a0elementary school on, I developed the\u00a0experience\u00a0of\u00a0exercising\u00a0my \u201cIdea\u201d without fear. Yet before taking my Idea, I want to assure that, the Idea is based of truth. I consider the decision from my\u00a0spiritual\u00a0knowledge of the word of God, family\u00a0experience\u00a0and social values. It is known that, many times, standing our own Idea even if it is truth, there is side effect\u00a0because\u00a0minority Ideas influenced by\u00a0majority\u00a0even if it is reality. The above\u00a0experience became high priority after my journalism and communication profession. Still even now it is\u00a0challenge.\u00a0 I prefer being my own person for bringing \u00a0benefit for the masses including my self.<\/span><\/p>\n Frankly\u00a0speaking as I said\u00a0earlier, my\u00a0spiritual\u00a0background helped me to read the word of God and to know the above listed points are damage for life. Therefore, even though if I fully\u00a0controlled\u00a0them\u00a0I try to out from my life. \u00a0Therefore I am happy by the Grace of God.<\/span><\/p>\n iii. Love<\/span><\/p>\n Love is watching the best on others and\u00a0encouraging them to\u00a0see it\u00a0in there own\u00a0image\u00a0and themselves to\u00a0speak\u00a0from my heart about this issue. \u00a0I don\u2019t know why, but I have people and\u00a0I encourage\u00a0them any time if I see\u00a0something\u00a0good in them. When I read Jonathan Livingston Seagull, it assured me to continue this\u00a0gift. I\u00a0believe\u00a0that, this kind of\u00a0encouragement\u00a0should be always with\u00a0husband\u00a0and wife,\u00a0children, friends, co- workers and with leaders to his followers. It will\u00a0bring\u00a0unity for all people of the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It is known that with out any\u00a0scarification\u00a0there is no good result. If anybody is\u00a0diligent\u00a0in his work, He will get awarded. I heard one history example about the former merchants.\u00a0 It was, that they buy and sell their properties by passing the desert to reach others\u2019 countries. Some of there\u00a0neighbors said, \u201cwhy you go\u00a0through\u00a0the desert when you can face\u00a0difficulties\u00a0for the sake of your life.\u201d\u00a0 Their answer is to live\u00a0many\u00a0years with happy times passing\u00a0through\u00a0the desert for a month is good\u00a0scarification. Therefore minding to\u00a0timely\u00a0problems is a\u00a0barrier\u00a0for\u00a0success\u00a0and progress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There is more to life than power, fighting and eating.\u00a0 Now at times, life is so\u00a0difficult\u00a0on the earth. Sometimes for our mind freedom or mental satisfaction we decide on some options. I passed on this kind of\u00a0decision many times.<\/span><\/p>\n Companionship or friendship doesn’t\u00a0depend\u00a0on space and time. \u00a0In the word of God says that: there is time for\u00a0everything. When we look back and analyze we passed\u00a0through\u00a0different friendship and work\u00a0atmosphere.\u00a0Currently, thanks to technology the former communication\u00a0barriers\u00a0are solved. For example email takes the place of the former post office\u00a0where a letter or document messages can be sent in easy and short ways. In this\u00a0book the idea of\u00a0friendship\u00a0impressed\u00a0me a lot. The current world situation \u00a0is good example for this matter.<\/span><\/p>\n vii. Any number has a limit<\/span><\/p>\n Perfection does not have limitation.\u00a0 It is true that number in this world has a limit, for\u00a0instance\u00a0to grant a professor award for some countries university: there is\u00a0research\u00a0paper limit. To get anything in the world there are listed limitation. I\u00a0believe\u00a0it is true that, perfection doesn’t have limitation.\u00a0 When I write this point, I remind one home land language \u201cAmharic,\u201d\u00a0a spiritual\u00a0song in my mind. It deals about the perfection of God. In short the song\u00a0translation\u00a0is: \u00a0for problem, sickness and death has limitation but the perfection and the blessing of God is without limitation.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 3. How will these ideas or lessons help you in a practical way, both in your daily personal life and in helping you to create a better world? If so, how?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n We are leaving in this world with different\u00a0societies\u00a0and cultures. Many times our activities judged with others. In our mind also there are many different kinds of ideas\u00a0that flow. When we share or speak that idea in the\u00a0midst\u00a0of our\u00a0society, many times we\u00a0couldn’t get positive feedback\u00a0quickly. \u00a0What I learned more from this book is practicing and exercising our dream or interest is best. We must show our effort\u00a0continuously. Our eyes should focus in on our dream. If we continue like this with out stopping; always we will get the best results. There are a lot of quotes I liked from the book.\u00a0 I can say many of them are teachable and\u00a0exemplary. Among them I will quotes three of them and include my comments.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYou need to keep finding yourself, a little more each day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n My comment is that it is known that, everybody is born for a purpose. So the man should think that what is his\u00a0purpose\u00a0on the earth. \u00a0What says his soul tells him, enjoying to do that. I\u00a0believe\u00a0that, everybody has his own\u00a0diamond\u00a0talent or any\u00a0specialty\u00a0in him.\u00a0 Therefore instead of copying others, a man should dig for his talent and show it off. \u00a0For me, I know, I have a Leadership talent. In a short I learned from the quotes \u201cchange is a process,\u00a0therefore, we should change our selves still finds our self.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThat it is right for\u00a0a\u00a0gull to fly, that freedom is the vary nature of his being, that whatever stands\u00a0against\u00a0that freedom must be set aside, be\u00a0it ritual\u00a0or\u00a0superstition\u00a0or limitation in any form.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n My comment is that freedom is vital for critical thinking and to grasp different kinds of knowledge and data from free side.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI don”t mind being bone and feathers! Mom. I just want to know what I can Do in the air and what I can”t, that”s all. I just want to know.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n My comment:for explaining the above quotes, I want to remind you the life of long run runners. Especially\u00a0runners of 5,000 or 10,000 Kilometers.. There are with out fat in there body, but the\u00a0championship\u00a0is their portion. Therefore success needs\u00a0scarification\u00a0of something according to specific requirement.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5. <\/span><\/em><\/strong>Is there anything in the book that you do not understand or are unclear about, or are there ideas which you disagree with and, if so, why?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n I don”t disagree with the things stated in the book. I understand most\u00a0principles\u00a0and concepts. I\u00a0received all\u00a0lessons, positively.\u00a0Therefore I want to say that I understand the mentioned points in the book.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 6. Did the book contain exercises for the reader to complete?\u00a0 If so, did you complete all of the exercises and did you find them helpful?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n No, the book did not contain exercise for I the reader to complete.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 7.
