Dec. 17th, 2011 01:04 amDay 5 - Sometimes when things go wrong you have to take a step back and find the humour in a situation. What was the strangest/most trying situation you have been in where you ended up laughing so hard it has actually become positive in reflection.Reflect and Write
my life is a comitragedy most of the time. It's hard picking just one event to talk about. While I'm unable to name names, I did m residency partially in a high security mental hospital which housed the criminally insane. One of my patients, a serialkiller and woman hater, slipped his handlers and punched me in the face screaming I had the eyes of Hitler and wanted to eat them.
I was pretty much terrified out of my mind until we got him back under control. Aftwards when the magntitde of what happened set in we started laughing and now people think I'm just a little bit badder than I am as a result.
Day Six If you could pick one mentor to help you reach your goals who would it be? What lessons would you hope learn from them? What would their training style be? What kind of protégé would you be?
For a mentor, I think I would have liked Gene Roddenberry. I only heard him speak once and naturally I love his work. I love his vision of a world where race and gender didn't matter. His imagination was wonderful. I'm a natural student. I've already earned more degrees than a thermometer. I would gladly have listened to all he had to teach. I'd have hoped to learn how to push the envelop and create characters that will be loved for decades.
I cannot speak to how he would hve taught but I'd have hoped to enjoy it.
