Different Lenses

People look at things differently. Just ordinary things. For example when I was at college we were throwing paper aeroplanes in the Social Area and found it hilarious while the cleaners seemed pretty annoyed and told us to stop after the second flight. Goodbye Abajehabba Airlines. And in Project Management on Thursday during the group work, most of our group weren't taking it seriously while a few were (looking at you Frank, you killjoy!). And that's because everyone has their own different way of interpreting things.

Yesterday when I was sat with Ryan and Liam in the library starting our 3000 word essay, I was doing some research into how to define a successful project. The book I was using had quotes from different people and we've used them because they all say different things but do very much so arrive at very similar conclusions. The point I'm trying to make here is that while people do things differently, if the output is stated beforehand then the end result will usually be the same from everyone.

A good Project Manager would allow people to interpret things differently while keeping everyone focused on the end result. Some people would be 100% serious while others less so, like us three. We understand that there is a lot of work to get through but by having some fun it can make it seem like less of the hassle it really is.

Now the target of 500 views wasn't reached so I shouldn't be giving you this but here is the trailer for the movie based on us, titled The Blog:


And of course we must always end on a picture so here it is. Just one I found that was funny:

"Does this normally happen when narrating an RPG Menu?"
