Terminei o primeiro livro!

Eu achava que tinha um bom vocabulário, me sinto um analfabeto lendo esse livro haha

"But the real goal of dissecting a frog in biology lab is not to create a well-dissected frog; it’s to learn, so focus on the process of what you are doing."

O livro é interessante, mas acho que um professor tiraria mais proveito das dicas aplicadas aqui.

Um sistema interessante de anotações que eu não conhecia:

“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that ‘all men are created equal,’ ”
you write:
4 s &7 yrs a our f b 4th u this c a new n c in l & d to the p that all men are c =.
Then you go back and fill in the words.... "

"... use of a laptop may distract others. Certainly, some of my students complain about this. Human biology works against us; when you perceive something moving in your peripheral vision, your brain is wired to direct attention to the movement. We can easily see the evolutionary significance. For our distant forebears, something moving might be a threat, and it had better be checked out right now. "

Dicas de aprendizado (um tema que gosto bastante) usando técnicas aproveitando como o cérebro funciona.

Apesar do tema pesado (câncer), é um livro fácil e rápido de se ler, graças ao bom humor e inteligência de Rita Lee.

Eu não sabia que Iwata e Sakurai são os pais do primeiro Super Smash Bros!

"I think that’s what we mean when we say “genius”—not giving up on your ideas, letting them have all the space they need. It may be exhausting, or it may perhaps be rewarding, but in any case it certainly isn’t easy."

"... people waste time worrying about problems that can’t be solved by worrying. If worrying would solve the problem, then I’d say go ahead and worry, but somehow we can’t stop ourselves even when worrying solves nothing and leaves us empty-handed."

"when presented with a fact, my first reaction is to come up with a hypothesis for why it happened. Once you have a hypothesis, you test it out, then come up with another. Pretty soon you can see further off, from angles that weren’t available to you before."

Iwata é uma pessoa fascinante.

"Running away would mean a lifetime of regret."

"If you interrupt them midsentence and say, “It’s more like this,” it’s only natural for them to think, “This person has absolutely no clue what I’m saying.”If you let people tell you what they want to say, and wait for them to finish, they’ll give you a chance to weigh in afterward."

"Tom Bissell notes in his book Extra Lives, we are living through the birth of a new form of storytelling where the conventions are still being discovered and refined. Designers are trying to fuse the appeal of gaming with all the power of musical, visual, and narrative art."

"Most of us believe that they (memories) are filled with reliable information that we can access whenever we want to. But it’s not quite so simple. Like the amnesiac lead character in the 2000 film Memento, we all go through life tattooed with indelible memories that didn’t happen the way we remember them."

"As John Gardner puts it, fiction “is essentially serious and beneficial, a game played against chaos and death, against entropy.” Story is the counterforce to social disorder, the tendency of things to fall apart."

"Hunger for meaningful patterns translates into a hunger for story. As the video game designer and writer James Wallis puts it, “Human beings like stories. Our brains have a natural affinity not only for enjoying narratives and learning from them but also for creating them. In the same way that your mind sees an abstract pattern and resolves it into a face, your imagination sees a pattern of events and resolves it."

“The Western literary tradition, it seems, has been dominated by a sorry collection of alcoholics, compulsive gamblers, manic-depressives, sexual predators, and various unfortunate combinations of two, three, or even all of the above.”
