Major John James Develops A Mind To Fight
“During my time in Washington D.C. piloting Marine 1 for the president, I would think about concepts like leverage, timing and remaining relaxed. Then and now, training BJJ – along with Muay Thai and MMA – has made me a better athlete and war fighter… and a better person. After all, BJJ is based on timing, balance, and leverage… just like the challenges of life. The perspective, discipline, and patience gained through training permeates every facet of my life. It keeps me in shape, offers opportunities for self reflection, and engenders itself to a confidence unlike any other endeavor.”

Perspectives Charter Schools conducted a Chicago Ideas Week Lab introducing the schools’ A Disciplined Life® (ADL) education model to the general public, and teaching them how to apply social emotional learning (SEL) in their own lives.
Students led up to 50 participants in an ADL class on Thursday, October 16 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Perspectives Rodney D. Joslin campus, 1930 S. Archer Ave. Participants engaged in rigorous discussion and self-reflection like Perspectives students do every day.
A Disciplined Life is a toolbox that teaches students how to be their best selves, cultivate healthy relationships, make informed decisions and become ethical, conscientious leaders. The curriculum was developed by Perspectives’ founders Diana Shulla-Cose, president of Perspectives, and Kim Day, the chief education officer.
“People will come away with a better understanding of social emotional learning and what students in inner-city schools are capable of,” said Rhonda Hopps, Perspectives’ chief executive officer. “We will inspire them to practice the 26 principles of A Disciplined Life to raise their level of fulfillment and civic engagement to drive positive social change.”
For one week, October 13-19, Chicago Ideas Week brings together some of the world’s most outstanding thinkers, inventors, leaders and creators to present their ideas and inspire the innovations of tomorrow. It is a platform based on sharing big ideas and making big things happen. Perspectives students make no small plans. Last June, student leaders organized a peace march down State Street on the South Side to express their hopes for a violence-free summer. More than 2,000 Perspectives students were joined by business and civic leaders, and the event was covered by some 30 media outlets.
Chicago Ideas Week Labs give people a chance to explore the best of Chicago, through exclusive access, behind-the-scenes experiences that give them a glimpse of the inner workings of businesses and institutions that are otherwise unavailable to the public.
Hopps, Shulla-Cose and Day will be in attendance during the lab.
Founded in 1997 by two public school teachers, Perspectives Charter Schools is a network of five open-enrollment public schools on the South Side, serving nearly 2,200 students. Perspectives prepares students for college and for life with its A Disciplined Life® education model that combines academic rigor with a focus on character development. Despite coming from some of the most disadvantaged neighborhoods in Chicago, Perspectives students graduate from high school, enroll in college, and persist towards graduation at rates above the national average.

i know my place in this world. Precarious and without promise and I move forward, certain that the universe sends me treasures that will challenge and delight me! Sends me knowledge, that I must have faith even when it freightens me. Especially when it freightens me!
Intense self-reflection that would be a good way to describe the past few weeks of my life. At least, these days have been intense, and they have been self-reflective, if not intensively self-reflective...Remarkably, given my propensity towards self-analysis, I think the core of who I am has remained largely opaque, not just to others, but to myself. Perhaps more importantly, it has come to light that I am actually the opposite of who I am, as you'd imagine, will fool any but the most careful of self-analyses...
Day 49: I actually crawled up on my bathroom counter (becoming far to intimate with the faucet for my liking) to shoot this. It's the only big mirror I have in the house, really. I really like my expression in this one, which is why I chose it for 365...I look very determined or something lol About what, I'm not sure.

My inspiration came in part from Johannes Vermeer who was was a Dutch Baroque painter (baptized in Delft as Joannis on October 31 1632, and buried in the same city under the name Jan on December 16 1675).

Baroque painting
Most important and major painting during the period beginning around 1600 and continuing throughout the 17th century, and into the early 18th century is identified today as Baroque painting.
And of course of my favorite painter Frida Kahlo !

Having been 'tagged' several times from Flickr Buddies, it's time for me to post my
16 Things
1.I love eccentrics. I like my own eccentricities. They provide interest, flavor and character. If you are an eccentric, chances are we’d get along.
2.I believe words are important. I believe it’s important to choose our words carefully, and to check ourselves before we speak. I have to work at this on a daily basis, and I frequently fall short. But this doesn’t change my belief.
3.Books comfort me.
4.I love The Office and Survivorman. And I watch reruns of West Wing and Law and Order when there’s nothing else on TV.
5.I’m a current events junkie. I live for Tuesdays when Newsweek arrives, I listen to NPR in the car, and Frontline rocks!
6.I love to write. I love witty emails and the clever use of words. Reading other peoples clever writing feels like a brain-tickle.
7.The current economic crisis has really tuned me into simple pleasures, and I’m grateful for an abundance of them. Laughing with my wife, hiking with friends, walking the dogs, yardwork. For right now, I’m really OK not accumulating ‘stuff’.
8.I’ve come close to dying twice. I don’t remember being scared of death either time. I wonder if it will be like that when death comes . . .
9.I can be moody, impatient, and intolerant. I don’t like that about myself.
10.My barber now has to trim my eyebrows and ear hairs each month lest I look like Andy Rooney.
11.I love the ocean, stormy weather, and my wife’s soup. It’s a red-letter day when I can have all three.
12.Even though the world seems full of chaos and lost-ness, I have Hope that things will Change. (Guess who got my vote…?)
13.I believe deeply in Resilience.
14.I believe in Karma, and Paying It Forward, and asking ‘why?’.
15.I hate to be around whinny-ness, complaining, or naggy people.
16.I believe that education is the answer to most of our problems. Not that you need to have the same ideas I have, or think the way I do -- but I think learning new things, exploring different ideas, debating the pros and cons, and using words to express ourselves is how we learn to all get along with one another.
