New explanation to FLM, thought i'd share it with you all

The life of a paper

I was born not too long ago, however my mother regrettably died giving birth to me. Everything that happened the last few days have been a blur but now i find myself trapped, stuck between hundreds of my brothers, or half brothers, or at least look alikes. You can never tell really. It's rather troublesome to not know who your family is sometimes. It's dark in here; lonely. My two neighbors just lay there, not really talkers. The thin line of light comes from the side where an invisible barrier prevents my escape.

A few days later i find myself fresh air and beautiful light..but it wasn't sunlight..no, i was in a building with strange mobile beings, looking at me. I'm put in front of one of them nonchalantly, as if i were a mere tool. I start to panic as one of them takes his pencil to my flesh, cutting at me. Fortunately it doesn't hurt much as i dont rip, but it hurts nonetheless. The only benefit is that i finally have conversation, the being of sorts telling me his ideas on "A walk in the woods." Whatever that is.

A few weeks later- or less; i can't really tell, i find that i've come back to the creature, decorated with a number on my head. He grins a a bit then walks to what appears to be a safekeep for us; opens it and throws me inside.

How long will i be here? Trapped again in what they call a "folder" in the dark regions of the classroom. Will i ever be let out ?

Burke's Parlor: The Ingredients of Enthusiasm: An Inquiry

Learning is like most other things we all do in the sense that it's driven by a cause. The question is what drives people to learn? The answer is inconvenient for use but it's different for everyone. Some may learn to get into a good college or university, get a good job and make more money. Some may just be curious and want to learn answers to their questions. Many times it's completely different, such as needing to learn C++ to write a chat bot. In my case, as with arguably everyone who goes to school or learns skills, it's a mixture of those.

If you want people to learn, give them a reason. People get discouraged and see no reason to continue, not seeing success as an option in some cases. Some people are just very simply 'unmotivated'. If they have a goal or direction in life they'll put the effort in; for example a lot of people's goals is a good job, but what job do you all want? If they have no direction they lose sight of their education. This is especially easy because they don't see the benefit of what they're learning. Social Studies arguably has little real world use. Science is stereotyped for professors and doctors in a way. If you know how to speak read and write why get better english? (i used to think like that once) There's an excuse for everything and not enough reason for some people to learn. They see no benefit from it.

If you want people to learn, with "Enthusiasm" as you say, they need a reason and they need to know how education will help them. The reason is only theirs to choose and not something anyone can assign.

Get well soon Mr Sheehan!

A quick story of courage

Courage has been defined as the ability to do something that frightens him or her. Along the same lines, courage could be interpreted as the will to do something challenging, or whose outcome is unknown. Even though no one reading this would know who anyone is, i'll just keep names out for personal taste and simplicity of writing.

One story of courage i recall focuses around a group of people, where one day, one of their friends dissapeared without a word. As expected, we were concerned about her for a while. A few weeks later two  of them decided to start looking for her. They even asked for the help of people close to her area since she wasn't anywhere close geographically. The details of exactly what transpired aren't perfectly clear to me yet, nor anyone else involved it seems, but one of them found her in her usual city, unable to contact us from a lack of internet and supposed amnesia.

The point i'd like to get across, however, is their courage; going above and beyond on something that's outcome is unsure and not giving up, given that it took a decent while to actually find her.
