TCORE101: Performance, Feedback, Revision

What does REVISION mean to me? The connotation that I associate with it in its everyday uses is, "the noun of revise." Not too specific, and I just defined the word by using the same word, I know. But it really is hard to pinpoint a clear answer. While I could say, "it is the act of going back over something to fix," revisions aren't always fixes, and could just be alterations.

Primarily, my way of revision, is looking at the former definition. And after watching the last video, I realize that I revise my life everyday. I find the mistakes, or the subjects that I don't necessarily appreciate (be it their status or affect), and change them. While it doesn't always include the whole: performance, feedback, revision, algorithm - it does usually pull form one of those central ideas. Not to say the aforementioned isn't used. I do act out something, get an opinion from others, and continue to change myself. While I don't appreciate this system of pleasing others at the cost of changing myself; sometimes this course of action is better than displeasing others to stay yourself. I'm not a utilitarianist, but eventually it may be a good idea to look at the overall good and harm that can be done, because sometimes I'm sure that revision and fixing problems with yourself is needed.

Again, revision to me is the noun form of going back to the drawing board, and remapping that plan that was originally there. It is like driving home, and finding out that some days one way isn't to smart to go. After that performance, I give myself some feedback, and then reroute the path, and alter to new options. As Baba Brinkman said, "Performance, Feedback, Revision."
