On paper, conceptualize an Idea Map to map out the scope and limit of your own knowledge, not just of play/gaming, but of the larger known world of ideas. What are the Peaks and Valleys in your Idea World? What are the Swamps of uncertainties and Stormy seas of the unknown? Explore this world and journal your thoughts on this journey.¬
The idea map of my knowledge is just like a hamster cage, the knowledge I had was always been receive from outsource, could be from surrounding, the people or something else but it never been the case of learning from itself. One such example case is a newborn kitty without being educated from their mother knew to cover their mess after business without someone telling them or show it to them. It is like common sense or a command by Mother Nature.
The reason why I refer my knowledge to cage because everything is been provided, just like how good a hamster life can get is due to how big their cage are. Starting your knowledge could be similar to a hamster’s life in one plastic cage, slowly the hamster will notice that someone provide more plastic tube connect to other areas but there is a limited space for them to run about. Maybe when time goes by or some lucky hamster, they will be provided with more plastic tube connect to other areas. Thus, most the hamster does not have the authority to choose for the plastic tube but to wait for miraculous to happen.
The peaks and valleys of my idea world represent the skills involve with me to continue my journey. I could had easily progress though my world with the knowledge and skills as thought there are unlimited amount of cash for me to use. The swamps of uncertainties represent my emotion toward doing things. I could have planned on to work on time but my mood is like ants biting around my mind, every time I get caught up with it will lose the motivation on doing anything.
