The Value of Patience

1. Inner Peace -- True patience means inner calmness and serenity despite
obstacles, pain, and adversity. All of us are subject to these downturns in
life. Some of us can handle it well, others break down. Patience is the
ability to go through these adverse periods with confidence that
eventually will turn out well.
2. A Needed Element of Success -- Many people can do things well were it
not for their impatience: to learn something, to undertake a project or
achieve a goal. For this, patience becomes perseverance.
Example: You are applying for the approval of a project and you feel that it
should be hastened. In your impatience you say or write things that offend
people and which delay the project all the more.
3. More Effective in Dealing with People -- Different people behave and
respond in different ways. Patience with those who do not seem to be able
to keep pace with you will make you more effective with them.
Examples: in teaching children, training subordinates, negotiating with
others, discussing with others, and in general interpersonal relationships.
Mercy Values
These values guide what Mercy co-workers do and what direction we take. We
consider them unchanging.
Dignity We cherish each person as created in the image of God.
Excellence We give only the best for those entrusted to our care.
Justice We pledge to be in right relationship with one another with a particular
concern for people who are economically poor.
Service We seek out and put the needs of others first.Stewardship We wisely
use our talents and resources to strengthen Mercy as a ministry of the
Church.While all five values are important to how we make decisions, dignity is
the base on which all the others rest. Because all people are created in the
image and likeness of God, each person deserves to be treated with respect.
Drama is an art form that explores human conflict and tension. It generally takes
the form of a story presented to an audience through dialogue and action. The
story is conveyed using the elements of the theatre: acting, costumes, props,
scenery, lighting, music, and sound.
Drama is the specific
mode of narrative,typically fictional, represented in performance.[1] The

term

comes from the Greek word , drama, meaning action, which is derived
from the verb , dra, meaning to do or to act. The enactment of drama

in theatre,

performed

by actors on

presupposes collaborative modes

of

a stage before

production

and

an audience,

a collective form

of

reception. The structure of dramatic texts, unlike other forms of literature, is

directly influenced by this collaborative production and collective reception.

The early

modern tragedy Hamlet(1601)

by Shakespeare and

the classical

Athenian tragedy Oedipus the King (c. 429 BC) by Sophocles are among the
masterpieces of the art of drama. [3] A modern example is Long Day's Journey into
Night (1956) by Eugene ONeill.[4]
The two masks associated with drama represent the
traditional generic division between comedy and tragedy. They are symbols of
the ancient Greek Muses, Thalia and Melpomene, the Muse of comedy
represented by the laughing face, and the Muse of tragedy represented by the
weeping face, respectively. Considered as a genre of poetry in general, the
dramatic mode has been contrasted with the epic and the lyrical modes ever
since Aristotle's Poetics (c. 335 BC)the earliest work of dramatic theory
Anchoring or focalism is a cognitive bias that describes the common human
tendency to rely too heavily on the first piece of information offered (the
"anchor") when making decisions. During decision making, anchoring occurs
when individuals use an initial piece of information to make subsequent
judgments. Once an anchor is set, other judgments are made by adjusting away
from that anchor, and there is a bias toward interpreting other information
around the anchor. For example, the initial price offered for a used car sets the
standard for the rest of the negotiations, so that prices lower than the initial
price seem more reasonable even if they are still higher than what the car is
really worth.
In order to become an anchor, a person should have good looks or a good
personality as his face is more seen by viewers. An anchor should have the
capacity to be always comfortable while facing the camera even during tense
situations. Moreover, an anchor should have good communication skills.
Choreograph is the art or practice of designing sequences of movements
of physical bodies (or their depictions) in which motion, form, or both are
specified. Choreographymay also refer to the design itself. A choreographer is
one who creates choreographies by practicing the art of choreography, a process
known as choreographing. Choreography is used in a variety of fields,
including cheerleading, cinematography, gymnastics, fashion
skating, marching

band, show

choir, theatre, synchronized

shows, ice
swimming,

video

game production and animated art. In the performing arts, choreography applies
to human movement and form. In dance, choreography is also known as dance
choreography or dance composition.
The word choreograph literally means "dance-writing" from the Greek
words "" (circular dance, see choreia) and "" (writing). It first

appeared in the American English dictionary in the 1950s, [1] and "choreographer"
was first used as a credit for George Balanchine in the Broadway show On Your
Toes in 1936.[2] Prior to this, stage credits and movie credits used phrases such
as "ensembles staged by",[3] "dances staged by",[4] or simply "dances by" to
denote the choreographer.
Dance is a performance art form consisting of purposefully selected
sequences of human movement. This movement has aesthetic
and symbolic value, and is acknowledged as dance by performers and observers
within a particular culture.[nb 1] Dance can be categorized and described by
its choreography, by its repertoire of movements, or by its historical
period or place of origin.
