Project Do Better
Aug. 4th, 2022 04:05 pm I have finally published the Do Better manifesto as a manual for community organizers looking for a long term plan that they can modify for their own communities, and use to work together with other projects and communities to help build a unified movement for the Common Good.
on
https://shiradest.wordpress.com/2022/07/27/the-writing-is-done-the-umbrella-project-has-begun/
The book, Project Do Better: Enough For All, in Four Phases, comes in various sizes of PDF, as an epub, and as a mobi file from the stores that would allow me to set the price to Free, meaning that Amazon and the library systems, which require a minimum price well above that, did not allow me to publish through them. I can download and send about 20 different sizes of PDF if needed, and copies are currently available:

Today’s Passage:
“
Learning from his mistake
Herman talked to his friend, Mia, and she told him that he shouldn’t get upset
about his bad grade since mistakes are learning opportunities and just a part
of the learning process! She suggested that instead of getting discouraged or
giving up, he should
reflect on his mistakes, see why he made those mistakes,
and then think of ways that he could avoid making the same mistakes again.
It’s a feedback opportunity!
Mia encouraged h
erman to go to tutoring and ask for help figuring out a
different learning stra
tegy.
When Herman showed up to tutoring, his teacher gave him a few pointers on
different learning strategies that might improve his understanding of concepts
he was learning in history. Instead of memorizing facts and events, the
teacher suggested
he
spen
d a little bit more time thinking about a
nd
answering the question why. h
is teacher encouraged Herman to retake the test
and try again after giving this new learning strategy a try.
