my team

By working in a group I found it easy to bring together a lot of great and newer ideas. I felt that our group did great on our project. We all had different and unique ideas that eventually became one...our final project. Every single person in our group made a significant contribution. We did not have one person that stood out and therefore we successfully teamed together and worked as one. I am sure we will all receive a good grade on this assignment.

ideal bathrooms

Today in class we were asked the question, "Why aren't bathrooms designed using newer technologies?" The main answer given by the group presenting was that such appliances were not cost efficient...they cost too much money! To counter that argument our professor pointed out that new buildings cost millions of dollars...so what is a few thousands dollars more towards bathrooms? I have an idea. It is not the cost of these new and better bathroom appliances, but rather the companies producing these appliances. There is not enough production of the variety amount of new technologies. If there was more demand for such appliances then there would be a greater supply. If we do not start to invest in newer technology the demand is not there and likewise the supply will be low.

other-focused

During my presentation I talked about becoming more "other-focused" rather than "self-focused." I mentioned that I was much more self-focused at the time, but that I planned on working more to incorporate others more in my life. Since our presentation I have made a lot of progress in living the other-focused life. I worked to become more social with individuals outside my circle of friends. I have tried to help others whenever the chance would arise. I focused to be aware of others feeling and thoughts. I can look at myself in the mirror every morning and say that I have lived a more other-focused lifestyle since the challenge presented itself.
