Thanks to all who have given me comments about this blog. Originally, I want this blog to be more professional rather than an artistic one. Therefore I didn't add any background music or any fantastic pictures to my blog before. After receiving your comments, I would think about how to improve the layout of my blog in the coming days. And please don't hesitate to give me more comments for any of the changes.
It was Wednesday again, and we had the 7th HONR202 lecture. It was not only the last day of March 2010, but also the last day before our Easter holiday. Thus, every one of us were enjoying this last lecture.
Same as the previous lectures, we had some warm-up exercises at the beginning. I could see that Dr. Udani's lectures were always linked to the H.O.S.T. theories. This time when the music was playing, we were asked to say thanks to others. And I really thanked all of you for being my classmates. Meanwhile, I was asked to sing the song. I was very surprised because I actually didn't know how to sing the song, although it was a lovely song. Here is the music video of that song. I wish you would enjoy their hopeful faces.

Relative to one of the lectures before that we were asked to tell others what help we needed, Dr. Udani asked us to talk about what help we can give to the others in this lecture. This impressed a good idea that helping is not only one side: when others need help, we have to give out help as if when we need help, others would help us.
After we had shared what we could help, Dr. Udani started to talk about the topic of this class - influence. Every actions we did, every sentences we said, might already influence people surrounding us. From the A to Z tips, Dr. Udani showed us that attitude was the most important thing that we should always beware. As the theories stated: watch your attitudes, they will become your thoughts; watch your thoughts, they will become your words; watch your words, they will become your actions; watch your actions, they will become your habits; watch your habits, they will become your personality. I also found that many theories were in fact related to attitude, such as those I learned from the NLP workshop and the manners workshop. Thus, we should always keep in mind that our attitude would affect the others so much, and it is the key to succeed.
Here is one of the video that Dr. Udani shared with us. It's really inspiring.
In the last part of the lecture, after we had watched this video, we were asked to give an one-minute performance. The performance should be about 'What is a leader?' However, we were only given five minutes to prepare the performance. Some of the groups could give out a creative idea, for instance, James' group shared a Chinese Idiom - when you drink water, you should think of the origin; and Helen's group shared the LEAD theories. They were worth learning.
I remember at the end of the class, Dr. Udani asked us a question, "What did you learn from this lecture?" The most important thing that I have learnt was how others thought about LEADER and LEADERSHIP. Everyone had their own meanings and they had shown me their thoughts through the performance. For the idea I shared with my group for the performance, Tony said that it was like performing a hero but not a leader. Maybe it's because my idea of leader is not deep enough, but everyone is unique and special, we should not always follow others' ideas, whereas to learn from others' ideas. I wish at the time when we graduated, each of us could change from a metal into a gold but not remain as a metal.
