HAVE over the years been asked by many young people about the requirements of
becoming a pilot trainee cadet with Air Niugini (ANG).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
most I have given them come from the ANG ads I see in the newspaper where they
state that students must score Bs or better in English, Maths A and Physics to be
eligible to apply for the ANG Pilot Training Cadet Programme.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
may give a bit more information to that because I have gotten in touch with a
senior pilot with ANG - Capt CM. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
had a small conversation with the captain and may get more information
regarding the programme and any new arrangements that ANG has in mind regarding
taking on young people in pilot roles/training.</span></div>

are going to change a bit with the cadet programme, so I have been told. (That
much I can give now. More will be confirmed and passed on to you later!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">That

I told him of many young people asking about the requirements and Capt CM said
he would be happy to help us pass along the right info to those interested when
things were finalised. I told him too about the comments from a best aspiring
student in Northern province who told me that he wanted to become a commercial
pilot and get his mother off selling ice blocks to support him. Yes, that was
the best comment I got from years ago from a student who want to enter the
aviation industry as a trainee pilot. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

would be themed: “PNG is a niche!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Everybody
knows that we are culturally diverse and linguistically rich – having about 850
different dialects.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Back
in the 1990s, an anthropology friend told me that many prominent anthropologists
in the world did their field work in PNG. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After
Independence the world came to us for copper, gold and other precious metals
and then they went for the oil too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Today
our Ministers and Government are excited about liquefied natural gas (LNG) and
are scouting for interested developers.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Just
last week, a Minister spoke about the potential of black coal in at least three
provinces in PNG.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A
few years ago, a French scientist said something to the effect that PNG is an enviable
niche for any biologist in the world to study the diverse plant and animal life
– from the tip of the highest mountains in the Highlands to the depths of the Bismarck
Sea.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">All
those niches are here – for sure. However, there is a niche that is still
untapped and that must be brought up and brought out to the rest of the world.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">That
niche has to do with stories – the old, old stories or the current/contemporary
stories that have yet to be truly told. Those are the stories that scratch
below the surface, the stories that are more than just news that are 200-300-word
long.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
problem with us here in PNG is we are short of good and eager storytellers –
people who can see, listen and document stories before telling or sharing them,
and I mean telling stories in the form of poetry, short stories, novels and
scripts.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">That
niche is here – but as yet it seems people are unaware that it is here because
we over time have trained ourselves to think that all that is good must be
touched, felt, traded for fast money, ergo.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Stories
are rich too. If we treasure them – and tell them with some sense of appreciation,
we can get paid too for the effort.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It
is this story world in PNG that I think is an untapped mine that we must try to
tap into.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In
the process, we protect our own identity and heritage when we document such
stories in the form of poetry, short stories, novels or films. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">That
is my belief. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Think
about this: In a decade all the LNG and black coal may have been extracted with
big holes and rusting pipes left behind, but our stories captured will still
remain, if we manage to document them.</span></div>

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It was clear. He was moved by the topic.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He told me that his father (who has since passed on) had said many things
like that to him.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Here are a few lines that his father said to him:</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">NEVER GO AROUND WITH PEOPLE WHO STEAL … If you do, you would become a
thief.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">NEVER GO AROUND WITH PEOPLE WHO ABUSE THEIR WIVES … If you do, you will
also turn out to be an abuser of your spouse.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">NEVER GO AROUND WITH PEOPLE WHO GO TO COURT FOR EVERY LITTLE THING … If
you do, you will also run to court for every little thing.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">FORGIVE OTHERS OF THEIR WRONGS … If you do, you will live longer. (This
is the second time in 10 years that I have heard this line.)</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">THE CUSCUS STORY</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Here is something else the cabbie said (the last one before he left me):</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“You know how many men and women ruin their homes because they bring
rubbish into it – all the rubbish that the world has and offers?</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“You know the cuscus that cracks the karuka nut? It is so clever. It
does its eating far from where it lives. It does not bring the nuts or other
rubbish to its abode. In doing so, its abode is free from rubbish and people
who hunt it will never know where its abode is.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“They will see the rubbish of the nuts far from its hideout and do their
hunting there thinking that the cuscus is somewhere close by.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“The cuscus does that for its survival – it does not bring rubbish into
its abode.”</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">MY LESSON: “People too must be careful when they are meddling in the
world and must ensure that the rubbish of the world must not get into their
abode. Bad practices are the rubbish we see in the world and we must ensure
that such practices do not get into our homes where cleanliness and hygiene in
every sense must prevail.” </span></span></div>

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">ARE you aware that our PNG local
ancestors had some of the wisest characters – and some of the wisest sayings?</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you have spent some time living in the village, you would be privileged
to have heard a traditional lore or one-liner.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">(For those who are writers/or aspiring writers, it is a good thing to
explore such themes. Write down traditional lore, anecdotes and proverbs as
part of documenting our heritage. You will be enriched by doing that. In my
next post, I will post a few.)</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I have heard a number and they have shaped the way some of us think too
– those of us who were privileged to be there in the 1970s and 1980s. </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">THE TALK WITH THE CABBIE </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I was ferried by a cabbie yesterday evening to visit a cousin before she
left the city to return home.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In the process, we (the cabbie and I) got into a conversation, as is the
usual practice for me when I am in the mood.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I spoke about the need for common sense and how our ancestors celebrated
important occasions in their lives without consuming alcohol.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I told him of my stance as regards alcohol – “there is nothing good in
it”. It is a foreign concept that has ruined the nation – our nation.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I spoke of how today young people take alcohol and speak disrespectfully
of others without restraint.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“This never happened in the old days,” I said. “The whole village will
stop you and tell you immediately to make plans for restitution and make
apologies. One of your own relatives may even handle you physically to put some
sense into you.”</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The cabbie told me that that was “real men talk” – something most people
he travelled with never do.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I asked him if he was a Kange – a real Melpa man.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He said he was.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">And I told him, I have been with some young Kanges in the past and they
have said the same thing when such comments are made. (I told him that I grew
up in Melpa country too – before and after Independence.)</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Some of these Melpa men I know remember how their fathers or
grandfathers taught them – the need to live with a head on and be at peace with
their neighbours and relatives, something that is not usually seen today in
many homes and families.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The abuse of alcohol has further pulled down the barriers that have
protected our people for the ages.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Today when someone is under the influence of alcohol and do something
bad, people would say: “Oh, sorry, he was drunk when he did it.”</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When that is said, it is as if the culprit should be excused.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">You try that in court and the magistrate would hurry you up to the
National Court section to be trialled for assault or harassment – or whatever
illegal thing you did. </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Being drunk gives you no excuse of harassing or abusing somebody.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">

<![endif]--><span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>ON Friday, Nov 4, at 2pm, I went
down the overhead bridge at 4-Mile, having alighted from the PMV bus I had
travelled there from Hohola.</span></span>
</div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Just as I walked past the Ori Lavi building complex, I saw a group of
boys, street vendors, showing off their phones, belts and other stuff, to
passersby.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">As I was about to head into the building to get to the other side and
walk down to the bank, I noticed this small kid on my left, standing near the
vehicles parked there.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">He had a box full of blue Kilometrico biros, some stood on the edges of
the box to make them more eye-catching, I guess.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">He was busy looking at his box and did not see me.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">It was then I realized that I needed biros. The last one in my bag could
run out if I were to sign on the bank’s documents.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“How much are those?” I asked in Tok Pisin, the creole used here in PNG.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Fifty toea for one,” he said.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">As I was digging into the trouser pocket on my right where I keep my
coins, he said: “Fifty toea for one, one kina for two, please.”</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">The word “please” used indicated that he was in a way begging me to buy
his pen.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">He was trying his salesman skills on me.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Well, for this barefoot, 10-year-old, who was dressed in a short and
yellow, dirty T-shirt, I knew I had to reward him for being a smart,
industrious citizen of this country, even though he might be breaking labour
laws selling stuff when he should be in school.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I switched my hand to the back pocket and checked for a K2 (two kina) note.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Do you have a K1 there?” I asked.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Yes,” he said, and started digging into his trouser pocket.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“I will have two, please,” I said and handed him the K2 note.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">He gave me two biros and then held up his right hand with some coins in
it and started counting loudly: “20t, 40t, 60t …”</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Wait,” I said. “I will take 50t only.”</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">And I picked up two 20t coins and a 10t coin.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">He looked at what I was doing and looked puzzled.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I think he was a bit late in working out what I was doing.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“You keep the 50t,” I said, as I turned away.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">He still looked puzzled.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Thank you for the biros,” I said and walked away.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Oh, thank you!” he said, more like a sharp call than a statement.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I think he worked out then that I was not shortchanging him by picking
up 50t from him and not K1.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">As I was thinking about the incident throughout the weekend, I was asking
myself if that boy ever went to school.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">If he did not, then he must have picked up his counting skills on the
streets, selling stuff like the biros.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Well, I will have to ask him next time I see him. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">(Word count: 387)</span></span></div>

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Today as I was going over some of the language videos I have compiled on
my phone, I thought about writing this to guide those people who are working on
learning a foreign language.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">(That phone I am using has no SIM card – it is solely used for watching
or listening to video tutorials on different themes of interest e.g. languages
and music.)</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">SUGGESTED WAY TO GO ABOUT USING YOUTUBE VIDEOS</span></span></div>
Here is a way that you go about making good use of videos on YouTube.<br />
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">1. Work on just one language at a time</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">A time may mean three months, six months, or even a year.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This is important if you are taking on your first foreign language.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you are interested in French and Spanish, work on French first for
three-six months before giving that a rest and going on to Spanish.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">2. Find a channel that you should exhaust before trying others</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The many channels you have on YouTube offering different lessons can be
confusing to you if you are jumping from one to the other.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It is the same way with using textbooks – try exhausting one first
before getting to the other.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">However, I must say too that if you are on Channel 1 and if you find
that some concepts are better explained in Channel 2, then use those videos for
those concepts in Channel 2 but still try to go through all the videos in
Channel 1.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Here are suggested channels that you may start with for a few languages:</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">French: Learn French With Alexa (Polidoro)</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Spanish: Butterfly Spanish (This is Mexican Spanish)</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">German: Easy German </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">3. Possible progress in topics</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Here are possible topics that you will cover in each of those languages.
They are common topics in most languages that you would like to learn:</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Greeting words/phrases</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Introducing yourself/others</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The alphabet in that language</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Counting in that language (numbers)</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Main verbs (and their conjugation)</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Main nouns and their gender</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Present tense</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Past Tense </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Past Perfect Tense</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Future Tense</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">4. How to work with videos</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Watch one or two videos per week.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Mark out two hours on a particular day that you will go over the one/two
videos (e.g. Friday or Saturday for working people).</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Use an exercise book (or notebook) to note down all the words covered in
the videos for the week.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Over the week, go over the video/videos once every day (if you can) – or
once every other day – this should take 15 minutes or so.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">5. Review and start another</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In the next week, review work covered last week and take on another
video and work on it in the same way – as described in 4.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">6. Be consistent in effort</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Most people never really master much before they are not consistent in
their effort.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Be consistent with the two hours – and the additional hours every other
day - to get the concepts to sink into your system.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">7. You can visit other sites</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Visit other websites and try to read stuff posted there in that language
of your interest.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Alexa Polidoro, for one, has her website (<a href="https://learnfrenchwithalexa.com/" target="_blank">Learn French With Alexa</a>) where you
can read other stuff as well as downloading other files, including audios. </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">8. Test yourself</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After three months (or six months), try taking an online test in the
language. Such tests are free and you will be graded as C1, C2, B1, B2, A1 and
A2.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Those at the A level would have covered all the topics listed above (in
3). </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you are at C level, you are still at a the beginner‘s level. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">NOTE:</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Like I said at the start, store files that you can download on your
phone and while you are sitting and relaxing at home or in the office, review
some of the lessons.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">That is better than just going to a social network and talking about
things that may not really help you, or your people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">VISIT A COUNTRY WHERE YOU CAN USE THE LANGUAGE</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The most important exercise for a language student is to visit a country
where that language you are studying is used.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In the Pacific we are privileged to have the three French territories of
New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna and French Polynesia (Tahiti). </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">For Melanesians, you do not need a visa to visit New Caledonia. It is a
Melanesian state.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Wallis and Futuna is one hour’s flight up from Suva, Fiji, so that too
is not too far away.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">French Polynesia is furthest from this side of the Pacific. </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">For a French student, it is worth visiting any of those states. </span></span></div>

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Have you seen that a 1.5 hour-long movie can have the story of an event
that lasted in 2 hours, or 2 days, or 2 weeks or 2 decades?</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">But that depends on what the story is about: Is it about a bank robbery,
or a boat tragedy? Or, is it about the story of a man who spent 20 years in
jail for the death of another – and returning to a life that has moved on 20
years? </span></span></div>

could be the subject of a novel – or a script of a movie, if you take the time to
think through it.</span></span></div>

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Other events – that occurred over a decade - may be better told in one
book.</span></span></div>

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The example I gave in the earlier post of AB Facey was his one book that had
events that took place in the 80 years of his life.</span></span></div>

the first 40 and then the next 40.</span></span></div>

<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">LAST Friday afternoon, I went to visit my step-mum and pass on some
Wallisian necklaces to my sister who has been nagging me about them for the
last few months.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">While there, I had a conversation with another mother who was there
(whom I shall refer to as an aunt).</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The aunt is in her late 50s, and is a reader – she loves books. As we
were discussing books, I mentioned something about writing.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I told her that my interest is to get other people interested in writing
– as in writing their own story.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I told her, as I have told others so many times, IN EACH PERSON, THERE
IS A STORY, THERE IS A BOOK.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Whether that story is told or not will very much depend on that person.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">And the best way to tell that story is to write it and it was my wish to
get many people to write their own – as in writing a MEMOIR.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Others will read a memoir and learn about life and the choices people
make, as well the consequences that followed.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Good stories help you see how privileged you are regardless of where and
when you were born – and it you were reading “the right way up”, you will learn
to make better choices in life.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">AB FACEY’S BOOK</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I pointed to her that it is not too late to write stories. I gave the
example of the story of Albert B Facey’s memoir, “A Fortunate Life” ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Fortunate_Life</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He wrote the book very late in life.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I got a copy of the book almost 20 years ago and read it. </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I left it in the house and my father picked it up and read it.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When I came home one afternoon, I heard him urging all the young people
in the house to read it.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So, the story touched him too!</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">THE STORY</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">AB Facey, the Aussie boy who grew up away from his mother and
grandmother, faced many hardships in life.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">But his voice in the story tells you that the hardships were “just part
of life”.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Facey started working when he was eight and could not read and write.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">While working for an employer, he was physically abused and escaped,
walking for days to get away from the cruel master.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He later taught himself to read and write.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">At 18, Facey became a professional boxer and even enlisted in the army
and fought in the Gallipoli Campaign where he was injured.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It was the woman who became his wife who urged him to write his stories.
</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Facey, who was then in his 80s, wrote the stories in a number of
exercise books and later had the notes typed up.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He had requested a printer to print 20 copies for his family and friends
to read.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">However, the printer saw the potential of commercial success and had it
published in 1981. </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The book became a bestseller, selling more than 800,000 copies.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Sadly, Facey died nine months after the publication of his memoir. </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I TOLD THE AUNT</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I told the aunt Facey’s story and said, we do not have to wait until we
are 80 to start writing some part of our story.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We can start right now.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I told her also that if people are uncomfortable talking about themselves,
they can turn their story into creative fiction, as in penning a novella or
novel.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I told the aunt, we would continue the topic when I see her again. </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">May you learn too. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Nov 18 … DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF WITH YOUR PEERS … When trying to evaluate
your skills and aptitude; do not compare yourself with your peers.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you do, you will be lowering your standard. (Teach that to your
children and younger siblings too!)</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Find others out of your locality who are running at a much faster pace
than your peers and join them in their race.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In doing so, you are already setting the pace for those in your
locality. You are raising the benchmark. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

is a probability of you hitting the bull’s eye – like 1/1000 or 0.001, or even
1/1,000,000 (or 0.000001). But there is still a possibility of you hitting the
bull’s eye. </span></span>

That is, you have no chance of hitting the target.</span></span></div>

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">And, if you keep on shooting in the dark, despite not getting expected
outcomes, you are increasing your probabilities of hitting the bull’s eye.</span></span></div>

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Now for the good learner: If you heard one of your shots (in the dark) made
a thud against the target board, then aim your shots in that direction and your
probability of hitting the bull’s eye is further increased.</span></span></div>

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On your next two-week vacation trip to a city, or exotic spot, go with a
big notebook, pen and camera.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Use the notebook as a journal and note down the things you SEE, HEAR,
SMELL, TOUCH or EAT.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">(Yes, that is right; a good writer is a keen observer and makes good use
of the physical senses!)</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">At the end of each day, or early the next day, try to note the
observations of the day and your thoughts.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Make a note of people you meet and sketches of them.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Write the date neatly at the top left hand corner of a new page for each
day. </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Each place you go to, take pictures.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If people are willing to pose in your photos, take shots of them too.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">As a rule, take three shots per scene, in case one does not turn out to
be good.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The photos can help you remember things and people you meet.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">They can help you with descriptions of the site and environment: Where
there coconut or mango trees in the background? Was the building you were standing
next to blue or green in colour? How many children ran up to you and asked for
their photos to be taken? How old/big were they? Where they neat in appearance
or scruffy-looking?</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Your photos will help you recollect details.</span></span></div>

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Conduct interviews with locals and note what they say. (Or, make mental
notes of things that people tell you, and later write them in your journal.)</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Some of the locals would give you a lot of information which would later
save you time to look up – or point you to sources you can get more information
from.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">At other times, some of the given information may not have been
documented yet – it is new, fresh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you put in the right amount of effort each day, it is likely that you
can jot down 600 words on average, every day.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Later when you start typing notes into your laptop and taking the time
to consult the dictionary and others sources, as well as restructuring
sentences, you can really be looking at 700-1,000 words on average per day.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">That means at the end of 14 days, you should have about 14,000 words.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The other 6,000 words can come from your preparations (the days, weeks
and months before you actually took the trip). Even the wait at an airport can
give your more things to write about if you ran into friends or a lone stranger
from a European nation who was interested to share with you his/her
experiences. </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">More information can also come from other sources you can consult to
confirm details given you by locals.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Remember, what you write can help your readers know more about a place,
so dig deep in your research and try to add sufficient background information
to help your readers better understand the place and the things you have
observed. </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">

<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Your work can be shared as a journal or entries of a travel blog.
Alternatively, you can use the information as background information to do a
creative fiction work, as in the form of a novella where a foreigner visiting
that exotic spot and is stunned by the physical environment and customs of the
people, as well as the friends made while there. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">OVER TO YOU</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So, it is over to you now.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Plan for a trip to a place in PNG, or to one of our neighbouring Pacific
Islands, and may that trip start you off on your first long piece of work.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Travelling to some is a good time to collect information for creative
work.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Cheers. </span></span></div>

<o:OfficeDocumentSettings>

</o:OfficeDocumentSettings>
</xml><![endif]-->I MAY have said this before, but I will say it again.<br />
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Many people see the attempt of writing a novel or novella as an impossibility.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">However, if you have penned a long short story – say, 5,000 words long –
then you can always lengthen that story and turn it into a novella.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">A count of 5,000 words is one-sixth (1/6) of the way through completing
a 30,000-word novella.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you think about it, some of your shorts will be justified if you
lengthen them.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Time – and a good eye and ear - can send along to you events that you
can use to thread into the short story to turn it into a novella.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Keep looking and keep listening.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">(Oh, do you listen?)</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">WHOLE LIFE – OR IN A YEAR</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Some people prefer to write one novel in their whole life.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">(Some plan to, but never do it)</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you really, and truly, want to become a writer, you should try to at
least pen something lengthy once every year – a long short story, a novelette,
novella or novel.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">You might not complete all of them but at least you are pushing yourself
to put “something heavy” out each year.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When you go “lucky” on one of those “heavy” projects (as when one is
published), then you can go back to the others and nicely tidy them up.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So, in a lifetime, you can have more than one big work.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">That, I think, should be the goal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

SPECIAL MONTH FOR WRITERS …</span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">This
is an edited version of something I wrote last year in November.</span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">Last
year, a female writer in England (whose blog I read) brought up this quite
popular concept in certain parts of the world – NaNoWriMo – or, National Novel
Writing Month, where writers are challenged to try to pen a novel in the month
of November, one that is 50,000 words or more.</span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">

YOURSELF TO GET A NOVEL DONE</span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">The
interesting thing about this is - it pushes the writer to put out something, a
novel.</span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">Whether
the novel is taken on and published by a top publisher and makes the
bestselling list of the New York Times is irrelevant.</span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">(If
it does, the writer will earn much more – and the fruit of that is the 30 days
of work and sweat in that month.)</span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">The
exercise itself should bring out the best in a writer.</span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">IF YOU
CONTINUE PARTICIPATING IN NOVEMBER EACH YEAR </span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">Think
about it – if a writer challenges himself/herself every year, for five years,
to participate in NaNoWriMo, s/he will have five manuscripts that s/he can try
to sell to a publisher.</span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">And
if one or two of those are accepted by a prominent publisher, s/he can opt for
a full-time writer’s job.</span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">And
if all things go well, in years to come, a filmmaker may even pay him/her for
the movie rights to adapt the story for the screen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I have stated this for a long time now – each one of us at least one
good story. It is about time that we get that story down in a novel or novella.</span></span></div>

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">MY definition of “maturity” in the last post was shaped by a movie I
just saw recently – HOMELESS TO HARVARD.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">You ought to watch that – and get as many young people to see it.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It is inspirational.</span></span></div>

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Liz (Elizabeth) Murray grew up in Bronx, NY City, with an older sister
and two cocaine-shooting parents, who were addicts.</span></span></div>

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">She lived in a messy house and did not know what cleanliness was. She
had lice in her hair and was smelly when she went to school. </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">She never really went to school – she only turned up for the final exam
and – tops her school. </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When asked by a teacher what she reads, she said she read the
encyclopaedia set taken from the backyard garbage place.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“I am lucky that your tests do not test us on anything beginning with
letter “s” because the encyclopaedia set I have has no “s” volume,” she told
her teacher who was amazed by her scores. </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Both her parents also contracted HIV.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">She was homeless when her mother passed away.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">BREAKING THE CYCLE OF HOMELESSNESS</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">At her death, Liz realised that she was repeating the same cycle that
her mother had lived through when she was of the same age – 15. Her mother was
also homeless when she was 15.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So Liz decided she would break the cycle. She went to a “catch-up
school” – a school that helped those who could not succeed in the system for
all sorts of reasons.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Liz was the top student there and her tutor urged her to apply for
Harvard.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">A homeless friend of hers also turned up and tried discouraging her to
continue education. (Peer pressure kind of thing!!!)</span></span></div>

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The fascinating thing about this programmes is (as Mr Reshef said in his
ted.com talk … Check ted.com), NO TUITION FEE is charged.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">There are five (5) terms – where students can study anywhere and

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The only fee a student will pay is the EXAM FEE of US$100 (K285) – for each
course taken.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Lecturers in top universities around the world are also invited and offering

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">NOTE: This is a privilege for those who cannot get into university due
to lack of money. (That was Mr Reshef’s main aim when he founded UoPeople. He wanted

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">CS courses may need you to upgrade your knowledge in Maths to handle
concepts taught there.</span></span></div>

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I had a conversation with a Maths tutor a fortnight ago and he said some
students struggle in CS (particularly in programming) because they lack the essential Maths
knowledge. </span></span></div>

college.</span></span>
<br />
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">However, how much passion you have for a task depends on you responsibly
stoking the flames yourself – so to speak.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">How feverish it is going to eat you up will depend on you too – how much
time and effort you are putting into the task. If you do not put in the time
and effort, you will lose it. </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you have no passion at all, find someone else who has the passion
about what you are doing (or want to do) and learn from him/her.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Passion is contagious too – like most habits.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">You stick around with someone who is passionate about what you want to
master, and you will soon become passionate too.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">(If you stick around with people who do not have the passion, your wish
will slowly quiver over time into nothingness.)</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When you have caught the passion from someone else, your responsibility is
for you to spend time regularly to keep the fire burning, so to speak. </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Your teacher will not be with you forever.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you keep the passion up, you will pass it on to others who may want
to follow the same path as you.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you do not keep it up, you will lose it. </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">And the other aspiring people will not have the chance to catch it from
you. </span></span></div>

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">THE truly creative person who puts in the time and effort will have
those moments where s/he would like to run from work back home where s/he can
get back to the writing desk to pen more lines, or continue working on the tune
s/he started the day before.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">S/he can continue the effort for one hour or two hours or more and still
find the energy and urge to continue to go on – and then realises s/he must
stop or s/he will not stay awake for work the day after.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you have come across such moments, it means you are passionate about
what you are doing.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">And be mindful – as one bestselling author said recently, “The success
or failure that follows when you try selling your work is inconsequential!” </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In other words, your world is creating stuff – because you were born to
create stuff, not merely use what others created.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Whether the created stuff will be marketable today, tomorrow or in a
decade’s time must be of no concern to you. </span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So, the message is: Continue with your passion regardless of the benefits!</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">

<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">(NB. If you think that is too tough, then you might change the type of
stuff you are creating, and apply your creativity to something else, where you
can easily market your products. And that may require you to learn new skills.
If you want success, then start learning.) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

the capabilities your smartphones have.</span></span><br />
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Here are suggestions:</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">1. Download language (French, German or Spanish) video/audio clips that
you can play and let them run will you are busy doing something else.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">2. Download videos of speakers on different topics you are interested in
and let them run while you are doing something else, or just relaxing.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">(Ted.com, the website, is full of videos on different topics –
languages, education, writing or drones.)</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">3. Download creative music work (like the progression of guitar chords captured
on a camera) and when you are somewhere else, play the file and listen. And try
to – in your mind – or with another musical instrument, add another layer to
the music.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you keep on doing that for weeks, you can have parts for the guitar,
lead guitar, flute/violin and keyboard done up.</span></span></div>
<div class="BodyText1" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">The point again is: Technology – like a
reasonable smartphone - is making it very easy for us today to LEARN or CREATE
stuff. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><br />
