Who Is Pausch A Pragmatic Socialized Leader

111 Words1 Page

Emily, I am going out on a limb here to say that you have read the book and even possibly watched the lecture? I definitely agree with your assessment of Pausch, he was given the worst new and a deadline and he just kept going! The way the book portrayed Pausch, he had something to give not only his kids, but something the world needed to hear as well, and it was very true. Pausch definitely seemed invested in those around him more so than he cared about himself. He seemed to genuinely care for his students at Carnegie Mellon, which makes me also conclude he was a pragmatic, socialized

    Another thing I must criticize was teacher’s late analysis of Walter’s behavior giving his Polish background. I would think she would be already having had a personal feel to his hesitation toward adult by studying his behavior with his peers. However, the teacher and the student activity based on Leo Lionni’s books brought them all in my opinion closer together. In the closing stages of the book the teacher was able to also learn and discusses what her student taught her and how the study of Leo Lionni’s books influenced her as a teacher and shaped her students throughout this incredible learning

  • Wilhelm Stekel: The Mark Of The Immature Man

    507 Words  | 3 Pages

    According to Wilhelm Stekel, “The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of a mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.” Although one could disagree with the quote through the argument that by dying nobly for a cause, the cause would gain attention from others and strengthen, I believe that by living for a cause, one possesses the ability to contribute far more in their lifetime and spread the ideas of the cause more effectively with continued efforts. Stekel’s interpretation of the distinction between the mature and the immature proves to be accurate when considering the nature of modern society. The primary differences between the mature and the immature include the intentions behind their actions, as well as the results of the actions. Based on the phrase, “live humbly,” Stekel insinuates that in mature individuals, the desire to help their cause acts as the motivation behind their behavior , regardless of recognition from others.
