ONLINE FISHBOWL: AFter reading our PUB #3 Assignment.. Your online fishbowl comment should reflect how you will begin..  Post your online fishbowl response tonight by MIDNIGHT,,

Here are the three questions:

Q: Based on PUB 3 - WHAT WORD COMES TO MIND  AS FAR AS WHAT YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD? CAN YOU TACKLE PUB 3 with passion and enthusiasm?

Epictetus was a famous philosopher  he lived (55- 135 AD) who  was first a slave then became a philosopher, teacher and spiritual motivator  in his famous book  "The Art of Living"  he passionately states:

 "Attach yourself to what is spiritually superior, regardless of what other people think or do. Hold true to your aspirations no what is going on around you. First, say to yourself, what would you be.. then, do what you have to do."  

What do you think Epictetus means by this? How does this quote impact you as a scholar, thinker and even more so , a young person making imprints in the world?




SEE YOU WEDNESDAY ON ZOOM!!! 10am !
