Blog 60: Word


The word eclectic is an amazing word because its use is so varied just as its description. Basically it means deriving ideas, styles and fashion from many different sources, regions and places. Eclectic is something I try to live by. Eclectic is awesome because it is unpredictable diverse and different every time. It challenges you to think differently accept realities that you would never have thought possible. A simple example of being eclectic is learning new languages, cultures and trying new foods. I love travel and meeting new people and learning about their different problems, ideas and lives. When you learn all this bring them together to  one melting point and draw open the ideas from them as and when necessary.
Eclecticism isn’t something newly respected in the world. Diversity has been stressed in the work environment for a very long time. Eclectic adds an extra dimension to diversity by stressing that the diverse atmosphere should actually do something. Essentially, eclectic means putting diversity to work. Oxford defines eclectic as a form of ideating or philosophy that draws inspiration from multi sources. If you look at the world today you will find that this is a hard fact. Essentially eclecticism is the right way a world should work. There is never any one right way to do something. Most ideas need to come together in a fusion and form a cohesive action.
Eclectics understand and respect this. They do not close their minds but rather try to accept and understand all the options before making an informed decision.
