Constructive Feedback and Growth Mindset Try Feedforward Instead of Feedback by Marshall Goldsmith      I really enjoyed this article because I've had experiences with the strategies discussed and I think that they're very innovative and necessary. For some people, being a leader is such a power trip that they don't like the idea of receiving constructive feedback. Some people are just in leadership positions to enjoy power over others while being immune from scrutiny. They're not in it to actually lead people to a better place. Which, is the very reason leadership positions were invented in the first place; to give us some kind of orderly example to follow so that we could improve. Therefore, it's necessary that leaders receive feedback so that 1. we can make sure they're not just getting some power trip out of it and 2. to actually help our leaders help us improve. Which is what leaders are for. I also liked how this article changed feedback into ...

Infancy Gospels Topic Research Joseph and Little Boy Jesus      I chose the Infancy Gospels as my research topic because they just have so many interesting and taboo stories about Jesus' early life. These stories paint a very interesting picture of Jesus that take him out of the "cliche zone" and make us remember why he's such an influential figure.  The Idol      This story from the Infancy Gospels tells about Joseph and Mary taking the boy Jesus into Egypt. When they arrive, there is much commotion in the land and an idol explains to a priest that the unknown and true God has come. The idol topples over at that instant. I could write a story based on the idol's description of Jesus and how he describes the experience as he feels the power of God's greatness fall upon the city.  Jesus the Exorcist      This gives a lot of the accounts of Jesus exorcising demons from people. I could write a really descriptiv...

Fathering a God-Child Joseph with Little Boy Jesus      My name is Yosef. I am a Palestinian Jew living in Nazareth of Galilee. I am writing this as a  personal documentation of the events happening in my life, as of right now. I do not think of myself  as a very literate man. I am merely a traveling carpenter. However, I feel that what I am witnessing  needs to at least be attempted at being put to scripture. So, I hope that if my written word does not  lose itself to time, future generations will be able to understand my pattern of speech.       Like I said, I live in Nazareth of Galilee. With me, lives my wife, Mary, and our son, Yeshua. He  is the reason I am writing this. I call him my son, only because it is customary. I have never actually  conceived with my beloved Mary. Yeshua was born of some miracle that I at first hesitated to call  Divine . The rabbis teach us that...

Platt, Jr.  Web Source      Notes:      * Jesus stays behind in the temple as Mary and Joseph leave after a feast.       * Jesus remains in the temple for three days discussing a plethora of topics such as astronomy, physics, metaphysics, nature, and the supernatural with the doctors, all learned men of Israel.       * Jesus reveals knowledge that was previously 'unknown to the mind of any creature.' 

Mary and Joseph's Flight into Egypt       Bibliography. "The Idol" from The Lost Books of the Bible  edited by Rutherford H. Platt, Jr.  Web Source      Notes:      * Mary and Joseph enter Egypt with the infant Jesus.       *Commotion breaks out in the city upon their entry.       * The Egyptian idols speak to the inhabitants about the cause of the commotion.
