One reason I excel at work is that I don't sweat the small stuff and I pay attention to details. My mother always taught me that; change is always good as long as you are changing to better your life and future. * Describe how each practice activity reinforced or contradicted something about yourself The strongest of all the dimension was adapting to change. As I stated in the previous question I already knew that I adapted well, so that just reinforced what I already knew about myself. My other strength is following directions.
I know to live in this world, I have to be more independent and more mature to step on my own. To make it, I must know who and how I am. It is the only way to be successful in the future. This class helped me know about my trails and find the paths to orient my future. I noticed there are many differences between of us in class.
When you need to reflect on yourself, you need to put your thoughts into words. It also forces you to make your thoughts clear so that they can be conveyed by language. Self Reflection helps us to gain an understanding of who we are as individuals first, beyond who we are as leaders. Because, to be truly effective at leading others, we need to be effective at ‘leading’ ourselves and if we are unable to really know ourselves, we are only being deluded into thinking that we can lead ourselves. Self-reflection allows us to recognize our core values, not just by naming what we value, but why those things are most important to us.
You have to dig deep within yourself, and understand that it might be few setbacks. The key thing is that you keep striving to the best of your ability, just can’t stop because something out of the ordinary popped up. You have to do what you have to do, to accomplish what ever there is to be accomplished. I’ve experience others older than me struggle through college, once something came up that they didn’t like or couldn’t complete the first time they just gave up. In my future I know that I’m going to go through something’s of that sort, but the difference with me is, I’m going to keep going, and going till I accomplish it.
Reflecting on activities from work and also other places is a great way to develop the things that you know, and also discover what you don’t know, allowing you to set your mind on ways to develop your knowledge and fill in any gaps in your knowledge. Learning to properly reflect on what has happened is in the past is one of the most valuable personal skills, and it’s a way that an individual can develop themselves without the need for textbooks and training, merely learning not to repeat mistakes you’ve made, and recognising actions as mistakes in the first place goes a long way to making a person more efficient at their job role. It’s important to access the skills you have, and also the skills you lack to know where improvement is needed, and knowing exactly what you want to learn is useful in reducing the time necessary in producing a new skill. Along with having knowledge and skills, knowing how and sometimes more importantly when to use them is just as important, such as recognising how we behave or the certain ways in which we
How do we become knowledge workers within our own organizations? Hammer (2004) suggests that we are entering an age where we will all be knowledge workers. I find some truth in that because we are always learning from our peers, our employees, and our supervisors. But it is necessary for us to know where that newfound knowledge comes from by finding its source. I am the type of person who wants to know everything and be the best at every task I perform, and doing the necessary work to identify the appropriate source of information will make that task just a bit easier.
Jenny Graves: The only thing that I would change really is doing more everyday with each child. I know there is only so much you can do, but I feel that there is always room for more. You can never learn enough in your life time. Cynthia Moore: What do you like most about your job?

Pausch explains how to get through obstacles in life and to just live life because you never know what could happen. Pausch uses his life problems to teach us lessons for ours. Everybody has their goals in life and something will most of the time get in the way. “Brick walls are there for a reason. They give us a chance to show how badly we want something” (79).
Pat Riley once said, “Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.” This is how I treat everyday. I want to become better at something every single day! Whether it’s becoming a better friend, or a better student, or a better writer. I don’t care what the task is, but I always strive to be my best, and then be even better than
We have established a few simple rules that are simply-stated and reinforced daily. I set clear expectation and outline consequences and I focus on the positive and take the negative out of my directions. But most of all I empower the children by giving them
