SYNOPSIS OF WHILE THE AUTO WAITS

One twilight a girl with a large-meshed veil over her face was busy reading while sitting in a
bench of park. When she turned a page, the book slipped from her hand and a young man pounce upon
it. The young man introduced himself then told the girl that he had his eyes on her since the other day.

The young man is Mr. Parkenstacker. He introduced himself and asked the lady’s name.
Unfortunately, instead of telling her she bragged about herself and told the man how rich she was and
how she lives a dull and boring life because of her riches. She further told the man that if she were to
choose a husband, she would rather choose a man of lowly stature. With this, the young man told the
girl that he works in restaurant as a cashier in a nearby restaurant. Having a surprised look at her face,
the girl looked at her watch and suddenly became in a hurry.

Mr. Parkenstacker offered the girl a walk, but the girl insisted on walking home alone.
Suddenly, a waitress came yelling at the rich girl telling her that she’s late for her shift in the
restaurant. The rich girl denied that she knew the waitress, so the waitress became more furious. As the
waitress raised her voice, the young man captured the attention of the waitress. Recognizing that the
young man as the most sought bachelor in town because of his wealth and charm, the waitress
apologized. The rich girl found out that Mr. Parkenstacker is not poor but rather rich.

Embarrassed on what she had done, the young girl continued walking away, leaving Mr.

Unchanging Values in the VUCA World
Values are passed from culture to culture, from generation to generation. However, in this
modern time, it is claimed by scientists that change in the society has been happening at a pace they
have never seen before. Everything can change in just a snap. They refer to it as the VUCA world. First
used in 1987, VUCA is an acronym based on the leadership theories of Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus,
that stands for volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity.
In a VUCA world, the most important thing is to anticipate the future and strengthen cooperation
to come up with better solutions to problems and challenges. The work of Dr. Warner Burke and his
research colleagues at Columbia University provides us with scientific data that learning agility (ability
to be flexible and be open to change and thrive on new experiences) is made up of nine (9) dimensions
or behavior patterns. They include: 1. Flexibility – willingness to try new things; 2. Speed – rapidly
grasping new ideas; 3. Experimenting – testing out new ideas; 4. Performance Risk-Taking – taking on
challenges; 5. Interpersonal Risk-Taking – asking others for help; 6. Collaborating – leveraging the
skills of others; 7. Information Gathering – increasing your knowledge; 8. Feedback Seeking – asking
for feedback; and 9. Reflecting – taking time to reflect on your effectiveness.

MAKING CONNECTIONS
You might have not noticed, but your previous experiences, knowledge, emotions, and
understanding affect what and how you learn (Harvey & Goudvis, 2000). Called the schema, your
background knowledge and experiences actually help you make sense and meaning of the material
you are exposed to. Learning how to access these prior knowledge, experiences, emotions, and
opinions can help you make a connection to the text to help you understand concepts better.
Keene and Zimmerman (1997, as cited in Kardash, 2004) concluded that students like you
comprehend better when you make different kinds of connections.
These three (3) connections include the following:
 text-to-self- are actually personal connections that you make between yourself and the selection
you are dealing with.
 text-to-text- are connections where you relate one material to another that you have read or
have already come across.
 text-to-world- are the larger connections that a reader brings to a reading situation including our
perception of the world which might vary since we have various sources of learning things beyond
personal experiences (e.g. television, radio, magazines, articles, movies, etc.)
