🤔 Brief Reflection

Is it hard? (closed-ended, twenty-questions style)

[What / when / which part / in what way / …] is hard? (open-ended)

Fact question -> cause question -> values question

The difference between sympathy and empathy

• Sympathy: emotional compassion

• Empathy: emotional + rational empathy

This is part of week 4/5 of the Youth Life Design School leadership course.

Honestly, it was not as meaningful a course as I had expected,

but I was able to take away many concepts and insights that could help with communication, especially an attitude of listening.

I have thought that building intuition through direct and indirect experience is more important than this kind of conceptual learning, but I have tilted slightly toward the idea that studying once in a while is not bad either.

Keep attending networking gatherings often, but do not neglect learning either.
