The biggest self development regarding this course is to expect to placed outside your comfort zone in any given assignment. This is by no means a bad thing.
Tenaciousness is also about attitude
Perseverance is a trait I have always been glad to have. I find that every difficult situation I face thickens this perseverance. When things get a little tough, or very tough, I say to myself "just put your head down and get through it and learn everything you can". This helps, I find, in reassuring yourself that there are few situations in life that are infinite. If one has a plan that has an end goal, most likely, that goal is attainable. At some point you just may have to put your head down and tough it out to the finish line.
Three tips
- Do not let difficulty or challenges prevent you from doing something. Some people have a negative view of things that are challenging and would just assume avoid these situations. Don't be that person, seek them out, this is where most personal growth happens!!!
- Apply everything. This class is crammed with applicable knowledge. I am in a non business major and everything in here has professional relevance. Treat it as such.
- Don't stop at the wall. If you hit a wall continue around it. All you may need is a little tweaking of your idea to avoid the next wall.
Hi Brett. I definitely agree that this class pushes you outside of your comfort zone, which is so helpful in the long run. I also persevere, like you do, and find it helpful when I tell myself to just do it. Your obstacles are usually mental blocks rather than physical blocks so the best way to jump those hurdles is to just push yourself through it. Good job coming up with your three tips. They are super relevant!
ReplyDeleteHello Brett,
ReplyDeleteYou brought up some great tips for future students to do well in this class. One tip I can really relate to is the one about how everything applies in this class. Some topics or discussions may seem to be off topic or even irrelevant but they are relevant and are helpful in business. As long as you keep an open mind with this class you will get a lot out of it. Keep up the good work!
