My Take On Radicant -- Noriko Kinoshita

If I have to choose an adjective for the video, I definitely choose "mysterious." The plants, fungi, and the women's voice- they were all so mysterious for me. The woman spoke in whispers, and as I couldn't understand most of what she said because of my poor listening skills, so it felt as if a fairy were mumbling something strange in a deep forest.

In addition, when I looked at the installation, I noticed that in one tube the vines were wrapped around the post, on the other hand, in the other tube the vines were spread over the whole tube. This reminded me that even plants have lives and are diverse.

On the whole, the plants seemed to be more lively than usual. Although they don't speak, they seemed to have their will.

    How imaginative you are! I think your way of describing the narrator's voice as a fairy's whisper is really beautiful!

      Thank you for your comment! I admire your listening skills. I could catch neither "daughter" nor "son"!

    I really love your expression "it felt as if a fairy were mumbling something strange in a deep forest.", and you used the vocabulary we learned last week "mumble" very well! Also, I agree that the plants is seemed to be more lively.

    Even if it felt a little difficult for you to listen, you still tried to imagine from limited information. It’s nice feedback, and I was interested in your imagination.

    I am amazed by your interpretation that even the same type of plants, they grow differently. So, this makes me remind of people that each person will grow in their own ways.

      I totally agree with you! We grow in respective ways as well as plants. It could be the most similar point between human and plants.

    You notice a lot of details that are hidden in this exhibition, and the explanation is good.

Finding Your Passion & Making It Your Job

Emma Rosen suggests asking yourself 3 questions to help clarify what kind of work you should do. They are "What skills do you want to be using at work?" -- Do you like to lead a team, write or solve problems? "What do you want to get out of work?" -- It could be the chance to change the world or to enjoy variety or, say, autonomy in the workplace -- and "What kind of working environment would you prefer?" -- Do you want to work in an office or outdoors, for a big company or start your own? How about you? Respond to Emma's 3 questions in this post. Emma also suggests it is important to do multiple work placements in a range of careers. That way you can choose a job based on knowledge and experience rather than assumptions, hearsay and expectations. Is this something you would like to try? If so, how could you make it happen? Emma characterises herself as a wide achiever rather than a high achiever and suggests that the 'portfolio career' where o...

  I disagree the result of personal test which I am assessed as innovator. I don’t see myself as imaginative, sociable and sympathetic. I like to talking, but I rarely start conversations myself. I also disagree that I assessed as creative, I think creative person act out of line, but I behave as a normal people and have not professionality anything. I only agree with that I am assessed as rebellious. I used to don’t follow what teacher says in school. I did what I wanted to do freely.

  I totally agree with this result. I think one of my strengths is being conscientious and mature. I always care about other people’s feelings and try to see things from different perspectives. This result also says that I tend to avoid conflict, which is true because I don’t like trouble or arguments with others. I try to avoid them as much as possible, even if it means enduring something unpleasant. However, I know that avoiding conflict is not always a good thing and sometimes doesn’t lead to productive outcomes.  If I had to disagree with one point, it would be that others take advantage of me. I’ve never felt that way. If I realized that someone was trying to take advantage of me, I would make sure to express my opinion clearly.
