* Do you have any questions? I was given a C for my completion of application form which I feel is fair because I don’t think I completed it to my best ability because I was limited to how long I could spend on it and the section on writing about myself I needed to have more skills to interest the business in employing me. I was scored a B for first impressions which I feel I deserved an A because I was punctual as I arrived early, I also wore smart/casual clothing ensuring I was prepared for the interview. I tried to be happy and positive about the interview introducing myself with a handshake so I don’t feel I need to improve on this. My body language was scored at a B, I feel she gave me a b because when asked about how to behave during an interview I realised I was slouching but that was the only thing I was doing to make her feel I was disinterested, other than that I was fully engaged in conversation and smiling.
I’ve always been a person with a growth mindset, I can thank my dad for that, and this book just seemed to be a great fit for the type of reading that I do for fun outside of school ,so I felt it would be the best fit for me. As I began reading this book, I had already learned about the immense power of effort and where the right amount of concentrated and well preformed effort could take anyone. However, I had no idea of this “fixed mindset” which caused people to believe that effort was not as powerful, as I know it to be, but actually bad. I learned so much about the extent that the fixed mindset can take you. It can take someone who as all the talent in the world, such as one of my personal heroes Billy Beane, and force them to fail at their true dream and passion.
Those assumptions are often wrong and are usually made off the image of this person or by what group they hang out with. There are many things in the world besides us people that stereotype.

Can you tell who’s more convincing at this point? Andrew Hacker and Claudia Dreifus’s essay is more convincing than Mike Rose’s essay because the Organization of their essay is easy to follow and understand their position and argument, the evidence to support their argument is from their own institution studies and interviews, unlike Mike Rose’s evidence, which includes his personal life experience to support his argument, last but not least, Hacker and Dreifus’s essay was more about them being concerned of other people’s education.

In Wright's first argument, she fails to convince the reader that people are writing shorter and meaningless because people can still understand each other when they use those kinds of writing. In fact, many people use short sentences to communicate on social network websites but the sentences are still cover what they mean and there are a lot of replies. Moreover, people now don't have much time to read a whole long story, they just read the title and key words to catch up the news which they need to know, so that writings are becoming shorter. This, as a result, will help people improve their skimming skill and think faster since they have to read and understand many things at a time.

Post hoc fallacy basically works on after this therefore because of this phenomenon.

I think the most helpful worksheet for this paper was the communication strategy worksheet. It really help me solved all the underlying questions beforehand so it was easier for me to write my first draft. Once I started writing my draft I found it to be very hard to not make a recommendation. I felt that my first draft was very unorganized because I begin putting more emphasis on other issues. If it wasn’t for the peer reviews, I
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People This paper reviews Stephen R. Covey’s # 1 national bestseller book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” I decided to read the book because, although I see myself as a very effective person, I wanted to learn more about the subject and see what I was missing out that I could improve. I am very pleased about my choice as I found the tools that I needed to reinforce some of the things that I was unconsciously doing. As the author says, this book should not be read just once like other books and put on a shelf; it is rather a companion book to have handy for continual learning process of change and growth. My main takeaway from the book is that we cannot succeed without principles because that’s what guides our lives. The book is subdivided in 4 parts: Part one describes paradigms, the way we perceive, understand, and interpret the world, and principles, natural laws that are woven into the fabric of every civilized society throughout history and comprise the roots of every family and institution that has endured and prospered (Covey, 1989, P. 33 Para 14).
