WHY READ JONATHAN LIVINGSTONE SEAGULL?

It is a must-read inspirational book for the modern generation, who''s passion and desire to learn and achieve no longer exists.While flying is just another means of finding food for most seagulls, for Jonathan Livingston Seagull, flying is life itself. He practices only to fly more higher, more freely and more gracefully. and with practice, Jonathan Livingston Seagull successfully masters numerous techniques which other seagulls can''t even imagine.

JOHN LENNON THE DREAMER

If someone says you are dreaming would you feel upset? John Lennon had a dream that he could generate enough empowerment among the ordinary people to stop the Vietnam War. Near Christmas he put out BIG bill boards with the message

WAR IS OVER
if you want it

Yoko Ono his wife made posters with the same message.

Well, it makes me think..it depends on whether we want it and what we are willing to do as ordinary people..

He wrote a song , GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

" All we are saying is
Give Peace A Chance"

It became the chant for demonstraters who use it as a battle cry for PEACE.

In the end the young, the brave, the dreamers did make a difference.

The war ended.

Check out his song REVOLUTION and let me know how you feel it.

You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you got a real solution
Well you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be alright

Alright Alright

ATTRIBUTION THEORY

Now I usually take theories with a pinch of salt. But this is one of my favourite theories. I first learnt about it when someone in Flinders Uni, Adelaide talked about " Locus of Control" . It means where do we see the key to our success. Is it inside us or outside us?If we have an internal locus of control we feel the key is in us and if we wana change something we go ahead and do it. Thats me : )

If we have an external locus of control we feel that things happen to us because of factors lying outside us.. so we have no control over them.To a certain extent, if a hurricane comes along,..we do not have control over the situation. Like now in New Orleans. They are trying to get the people to pack up and go because its gonna be "the mother of storms".Sheesh... what a poor way of using the image of a mother. Why not call it the Father of all storms ? Who is more stormy you tell me?

But even in a hurricane situation you can have an internal locus of control. You can decide to leave before it's too late. No doubt you lose whatever you have ( for the second time ). But would you rather be caught in the storm?

Now when it comes to freedom, to what extent do you have an internal locus of control?What about feelings in a relationship? Do you have an internal locus of control or an external locus of control?
