Oh, Joe

Entry 127 was really interesting to me since in the author note Malek states that he (I think it's a man) tells this story to his students around mid-semester. I found that very smart and I feel like I may need to utilize this type of method, if not this exact story, if any of my students face this dilemma next semester. I theorize doing it in the same manner as Malek may be more successful than the over-used motivational speech and also allow the students to apply the story to themselves without my directly doing so.
