3). Pick one concept from the assigned reading, that has not already been discussed during this discussion week, that you found useful or interesting, and discuss it.

Emotional barriers is a topic I would like to speak about this week, mainly because I had faced emotional barriers all throughout this week. This week I was supposed to complete a 2500 word project, I had the idea, storyboard, and action sequence set. But then I caught something like a stomach flu or just plain flu and I felt terrible all week. I could not think of the outgoing ideas that were running all throughout my mind before. I had become cynical and slept 80% of the day for 4 days straight. In the end I lost all motivation toward the project and just wanted to scrap it. I felt I had to inspire myself so I played some games and watched some shows, it helped me a little but it was enough to kick me hard enough into working on my project like I was before. The book says that some ideas are not even challenged because they have already been done. I normally challenge the existing products by going around the actual product and adding things that it did not have before. For example if you assume that a motorcycle can not be improved you are very wrong, put some wings and jet fuel in that thing and maybe you'll have a flying motorcycle.
