Dear Taichung Happiers,

What is another way to look at Olympics? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymg12GGcyT4

Please practice the shortest tongue twister with beloved novelist Roald Dahl “A little nonsense now and then, is cherished by the wisest men.” The nonsense can be your fascinating fountain of freshness. You won’t believe you would be much without it. It denotes your uniqueness of growth. It transports you to another world. Is it a treasured book in the secret corner of the Library? Is it Art? Music? For countless people who can barely blink now, it is Pokémonnn Gooooo! Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, welcome to join our host Kevin in discovering POKÉMON GO.

What is the big picture of game impact? ”Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature”, American author Tom Robbins portraits the transformation in disguise. Oh, no worries. Researchers have ascertained the sturdy association between playfulness and positive character traits. https://psywb.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/2211-1522-1-4 Moreover, community-building is the most delicious storyline of the boom in viral games http://www.wsj.com/articles/pokemon-go-surged-by-building-community-1469419260 ; therefore, solving real-world problems can be the most pleasant purpose of the power within every partner’s gift to constantly co-create positive interactions.

We are what we play. POKÉMON GO? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zu9YomGAXNA&feature=youtu.be What Pokémon Character could you be? http://www.zimbio.com/quiz/ncv9KTQa89F/Pok+mon+Character Pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Heraclitus simply put“Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play.” Every time video games greeting you, do they mirror a new version of you? How have they tangibly and intangibly enriched your life? If you can design a video game for both fun and facilitation in social change, what will it be like? Having students immigrating from 50 countries with 30 languages and various education backgrounds in a class, this teacher lifting them with innovative games is truly awesome! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td_cgYr3sZs

The warm voice from award-winning author and independent child development researcher L.R.Knost admonished us to revisit our childhood:“It is time for a return to childhood, to simplicity, to running and climbing and laughing in the sunshine, to experiencing happiness instead of being trained for a lifetime of pursuing happiness.” Hummmmm.....everything is sweeter in childhood, including the sparkle in your eyes affected by Pokemon??? Now, watch out, please. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6GVxexetnA Arm yourself with these tips while experiencing Pokemon happiness. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/video-games/10451600/Five-tips-on-beating-video-game-addiction.html

From “Bed in Summer” (by Robert Louis Stevenson)

I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the tree,
Or hear the grown-up people's feet
Still going past me in the street.

And does it not seem hard to you,
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by day?

When an idea finds you, what do you do with it? Why? What do you think causes the Pokemon Go phenomenon? Whatever ideas Pokemon Go has left you with, please stay safe and sound while immersing yourself in the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MisGRwa2qYQ Join us. Thanks!





With Gratitude,
Jasmine
