The document summarizes a student's prototype for a job facilitator to help students become more responsible. The student designed two posters, one with a Winston Churchill quote about responsibility and the other a hand drawing. The student tested the prototypes by posting on Facebook and a Chinese social media site, receiving feedback from 5 people. The feedback noted the simplicity but could add more drawing details. The student reflected on learning to use social media for feedback and that poster design was easier than expected. Going forward, the student would make more posters, improve aesthetics, create digital posters, and use a blog to further describe the project.

Prashant suggested this to his boss, who agreed to let Prashant lead a project on implementing ROWE.

This document introduces a new daily exercise called Yingyang Kungfung that combines elements of Chinese sport with meditation. It consists of two parts - doing 1000 hand swinging motions followed by 15 minutes of meditation. The author was having problems remembering how many swings they had done and staying focused during meditation. To help with this, they devised a system using chopsticks and a kitchen timer. Removing the chopsticks from a cup after every 100 swings helps keep count. Setting the timer reminds them when the 15 minutes of meditation is finished. The author encourages others to try Yingyang Kungfung, believing it will make people healthier, happier, and stronger.
