Week 7—The Marshmallow Challenge



Hi all,

That was great fun yesterday, having Rab join us and you all competing in the Marshmallow Challenge. I hope you liked it.

A couple of thoughts from me:

1) I wasn't sure about what language would be best, but I decided Japanese would be good so you could simply focus on the task and not worry about language. That makes it more about leadership, and makes it more equal for everyone (although all of you are good at speaking in English).

2) Rab made the point that you should just start building and not spend too much time planning. That seems to be the key. I was just watching a career advice video called "The School of Life: How to Find Fulfilling Work," and interestingly, the same advice was given: that you should get out and try different things before deciding on a career, and not be afraid to change careers. This is difficult in Japan, of course, but one thing you can do while a college student are internships—try as much as possible to work in the field that you ultimately hope to have a job doing.

Anyway, enough from me. What you would most appreciate, I should think, are some pictures. Here are a few:
