The 21st century has much of society unattached to the problems in the world, the people around us, and even from ourselves. We have a lot to learn outside of our schedules, emails and news feeds, and many individuals don’t take the opportunity to reflect and learn from everything between the lines. Self-reflection is something far more difficult than looking into a mirror, although that can always be a place to start. As the late King of Pop said:
“If you wanna make the world a better place, Take a look at yourself, and
then make a change” – Michael Jackson
As one of the goals of eportfolios is reflection, I thought I would include my perspective on self-reflection. Below is a TED Talk that reflects the idea of taking time to learn from within. Enjoy.
