Why Inspiration Matters

by Scott Barry Kaufman

November 08, 2011

“When your Daemon is in charge, do not try to think consciously. Drift, wait, and obey.“ — Rudyard Kipling

In a culture obsessed with measuring talent and ability, we often overlook the important role of inspiration. Inspiration awakens us to new possibilities by allowing us to transcend our ordinary experiences and limitations. Inspiration propels a person from apathy to possibility, and transforms the way we perceive our own capabilities. Inspiration may sometimes be overlooked because of its elusive nature. Its history of being treated as supernatural or divine hasn’t helped the situation. But as recent research shows, inspiration can be activated, captured, and manipulated, and it has a major effect on important life outcomes.

*I selected the above highlighted words as, these words primarily are verbs ,adverbs and convey the meaning precisely . Learners can also find synonyms of the same . The 3 words in last sentence activated, captured and manipulated are action words describing how Inspiration can be brought about in different ways .

Interesting. Thank you Padlet people!

In this example, words like "intrepid" are replaced with more accessible synonyms, providing support for readers who might find the original vocabulary challenging. The glossed text aims to enhance understanding by offering explanations or substitutions for complex terms.

Mary Had a Little Lamb by Sarah Joseph Hale

Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow;                                                                             
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.

It followed her to school one day,
Which was against the rule;
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school.

And so the teacher turned it out,
But still it lingered near,
And waited patiently about
Till Mary did appear.

Why does the lamb love Mary so?
The eager children cry;
Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know,
The teacher did reply.

The solar system consists of the Sun and everything that orbits (moves around) it, including planets, moons, asteroids (small rocky bodies), comets (icy bodies with tails), and meteoroids (small rocky or metallic bodies). The Sun contains (holds) 99.86% of the mass (amount of matter) in the solar system, making it the largest and most important object. The planets are divided into (categorized into) two categories: terrestrial (rocky) and gas giants (large planets made mostly of gas). Terrestrial planets, such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, have rocky surfaces (outer layers). Gas giants, like Jupiter and Saturn, are mostly composed of (made up of) hydrogen and helium.

I chose to underline the glossed words and give definitions in footnotes because it was the simplest way to give explanations.

"The swift fox is a small, agile fox found in the grasslands of North America. Its name comes from its speed and agility, which help it evade predators. The swift fox has a varied diet, including insects, small mammals, and plants. Due to habitat loss, its population has declined, but conservation efforts are helping to protect it."

Glossed Text:

"The ‘swift fox’ (a small, fast fox) is a small, ‘agile’ (able to move quickly and easily) fox found in the ‘grasslands’ (large open areas of country covered with grass) of North America. Its name comes from its speed and agility, which help it ‘evade’ (escape from) predators. The swift fox has a varied diet, including insects, small ‘mammals’ (animals that are warm-blooded, have fur or hair, and usually give birth to live young), and plants. Due to ‘habitat loss’ (destruction of the natural home of a plant or animal), its population has declined, but ‘conservation efforts’ (actions to protect and preserve natural resources) are helping to protect it."

Explanation:

I decided to gloss items that are likely unfamiliar to students and crucial for understanding the text. These include specific terms like "swift fox," "agile," "grasslands," "evade," "mammals," "habitat loss," and "conservation efforts." The type of glosses used are simple definitions or explanations in parentheses to make it easy for students to quickly grasp the meaning without interrupting the flow of reading. This approach ensures that students can understand the main points of the text and learn new vocabulary in context.
