2 traits that i definitely need to work on from the article, are most definitely honest feedback. I cant stand to make people upset or hurt their feelings, which in return i'm always giving the benefit of the doubt, always. Which probably isn't the best trait to have, simply because people will never get honest feedback, or could take extreme advantage of it. It is super important for people to get honest feedback, so they can fix mistakes and keep getting better and better with what they are doing. Second, i really need to learn to have better judgement. I just want to have trust and hope in everyone, therefor i feel everyone deserves a few changes, rather than just one. My judgement just inst the best, mainly because i want to believe everyone has a good heart and soul, but mostly because i trust way too easily, and im very naive.
In John Maxwell's article, There is one point that really truly speaks out to me. It is the first one.. "listen to yourself". This to me, means if you are not happy and you're going through everyday life, still not happy, pretty much living the same day over and over again, do something about it. Your mind knows you are not happy, therefor fix it. I'd rather have regrets than what ifs. If you do nothing to fix this and your happiness, you will go through life, constantly miserable.Also, the other one is "pay the price". Just because you love something doesn't mean its going to be all peachy and you wont run into any issues, you will. You will have to sacrifice things to do what you love. Sacrifice comes with everything. The main part is, you have to be willing to sacrifice things, to do what you love and have passion for, just because you love it so much.
"The difference between winning and losing is most often not quitting." --Walt Disney. This is a very wise quote from Walt Disney. It means you can either give up or keep trying. This reminds me of over a year ago when i started my first job at national coney island, and i really struggled. It was alot of multitasking and I felt very overwhelmed. It seriously took me like a month to get a hold of it. Now im alot better at it. I can multitask and not let myself get really stressed out. The whole point of this quote is saying to never give up, and that's exactly what i did when it came to my job. I'm very happy there now and proud of myself that i stuck it out.
One of my best memories from freshman year is going ice skating at campus Mauritius in Detroit. Me and my friend went together and it was super fun! we spent most of the time in the little coffee shop because we kept falling and my biggest fear is getting my finger sliced open. Another i have done is visit the Heidelberg project in Detroit. Also, my freshman year I went there and seen all the houses, it is actually very cool and kind of creepy. The house with the dolls was my favorite, it was so uniquely put together, even though it is creepy. I also have visited the Detroit zoo, it has many animals, last time i visited there was a baby giraffe. Lions are my favorite animals there, although i think zoos are so cruel, simply because animals should be in the wild where they belong in their natural environments.
Being a positive role model is very important, you're never going to get anywhere with a negative attitude. Life is all about how you perceive it. Also, you never want to show others a constant negative attitude, no matter what anyone says, you catch onto things that others do when you're around them so much, being negative isn't a good thing to catch onto. A very good quality to have is communication. Think about it, if instead of yelling and getting all mad and worked up over a situation, it would be resolved so much sooner and better/nicer if everyone just worked on their communication towards others. Being yourself is huge.. I personally am a very shy person, it takes me a little to warm up to people around me. When i first started work a year ago in the restaurant business, i was so shy and scared. I didn't want to be myself because i didn't want others to judge me. A year and a couple months later, now here i am, being myself at work and having so much fun with the others. My work is a place i enjoy very much, i actually have a lot of fun at work and that's awesome, just because a lot of people cant say that.
This quote means, you either make yourself have a good day, or you can let obstacles ruin your day. This is something i really need to work on with myself.. telling myself it could be worse. This quote says you have the power to make yourself happy, or the power to be miserable. Why would you want to be sad, when you have the ability to be happy? put aside all your problems and issues and just relax, and put it in gods hands. This quote really shows you, how much control you have over your own mood. I'm not saying you're going to be happy and positive all days everyday, because some days just suck, but i'm saying have the best days possible, at your own control.
