Museum and Ch 9 Saher Javed

I enjoyed going to the museum. I had never been there before and was amazed at the meanings of the art that were displayed there. I had never seen such large art work before and I thought it was unique and different from what I was used to seeing. The red piece of art work that could be viewed as a heart was different. "Through the flower" was an interesting piece of work. I wish I had time to hear the recording about the piece of art work as I didn't get the meanings of some of them. Overall, WACK was unique in its sense and the art work was interesting.

Chapter 9 has excellent tips for leadership. Some of the ones I really liked were how we should pursue something that we really enjoy doing and not something for just gaining more money, title, or prestige. I believe if we puruse a career that we really enjoy then we will strive in it, but if its something that we don't like then we aren't going to do as well in it. I think defining the top 5 priorities and staying centered on them ties in a few other quotes. I think defining your priorities and not letting others put you down in any way is essential. Like the other quotes state that people might reject you in different ways, but no one can stop you from pursuing your goals. As a leader you have to be confident and secure within yourself. Expanding your skills is vital.... learning about different cultures, languages, people, etc are great ways in enhancing our knowledge. I thought these were great ideas..... suggestions.

Going to the Women's museum was an interesting trip. Although this museum was quite different compared to any other museum I have visited. It really had a lot of unusual pieces of art but I guess I can say that they were pretty much unique in there way. It came a bit suprising when I heard that the red piece of art could be protrayed as a vagina but of course that's my opinion, suprisingly I thought of it be protrayed as a heart, just like saher had protrayed it. One of my favorite art pieces was the stair way that was made up of string, by the mother of the children. It was said that since the women stayed home with the children and the fatehr went to work, the women had some spare time to do that, which to me was quite an interesting piece. Who knows how long it must have taken her to make such an amazing piece of art. Beyond the art pieces I really like the way the museum was decorated itself, the two upcoming stair ways, the soothing colors they choice was also amazing. Overall this trip was worth while going to and I learned a lot. Honestly I was not even aware that a Women's museum even existed at Washington D.C. Now that I know I can pretty much tell some of my friends to visit a tour of it.
