Learning through hand-working

   I came to California about a week ago to participate the business Academy for Youth summer camp. The Bay area is such a nice place; there's sun that shines with not-pressing warmness and breeze with cool but not cold or dry touches. The weather is so nice that I am afraid I might cannot adapt to Taiwan's capricious climate when I go back.
   I really enjoyed this one class I took in this program; the one about leadership and entrepreneurship.
   The professor brought in 39 boxes with them and put them on the front floor without informing us what is inside the box. I was really curious about the boxes but I did not ask about them because I was too shy. The professor started the class with a card game. I should have be braver in participating the game. If I spoke up and took the podium to state my idea, I might have earned a recommendation from the professor, instead of frustrating about myself, I learnt the important concept "opportunities are for prepared people".
   After the card game, the professor started to demonstrating the second game --- the game that involved the 39 mystery boxes. In the boxes, there's Lagos with different shapes. From this game, I learnt there is always a gap between the boss and the labor, I did not quite get my boss's description of the shape through the manager so I did pretty badly, nevertheless, I learnt a lot about communication.
   I like to learn knowledge or concepts through games or pictures other than merely description. Often I found myself lost in the words and could not get the true meaning of the author and sometimes, even worse, got the opposite notion. Through games, I can easily understand the concepts because they became a lively performer in front of me, demonstrating themselves for me. Learning through hand working (games particularly) made me feel less stressed and feel more familiar just like I was in kindergarten.
