1)
I made sure to stay
focused and set a time to do the assignments every week. I would clear my
schedule for that time period and get all my work for the week done in that
time frame.
2)
Not in this course but
while doing work for a student organization, I was working non-stop for three
days on an assignment because I knew that doing a good job on it would allow
the organization to succeed. At time I didn’t feel like giving up, but I thought
that I could speed up the process by putting in a little less effort but enough
to get the job done. I decided that after all this is said and done, I would have
to live with the results on my work whether I did well or not. Doing poorly might
create a headache later on, so I decided to give it my all.
I feel like I have
developed a tenacious attitude because I have decided what my goals are and
decided again to not let being tired stand in the way of that.

1)
Set your goal and tell yourself that accomplishing your goal is the right thing
to do and what you should be doing.
2)
be confident in your decisions. Sometimes you will feel discouraged and think
you made a bad choice. Be confident that you are on the right track and results
will manifest themselves soon enough
3)
You simply need to want it. You can’t tell yourself to do something you don’t want
to do and expect to do a good job, you have to choose a goal that will incubate
your tenacity
Hey Matt! I think you have a very spot-on post. It is important to clear your schedule to get your work done. I also think that it is better to suffer for a few days and work really hard to give certain assignments your all. The hard work always pays off in the end, even if it is not fun getting there. I think it is very important to be confident in your own abilities. You have to want something and believe that you can do something in order to achieve something. Great post!
ReplyDeleteHi Matt, I should really start doing what you do by blocking out a specific time in my schedule every week to complete these assignments so they don't pile up. Additionally, I agree with your point about being confident in your own decisions. It sounds like such an easy concept, but especially when making tough decisions it is easy to doubt yourself.
ReplyDeleteHi Matt, I realize like your advice, especially the last one. I think many people expect to do well on things and are not actually passionate about them or really want them so that is great advice. I usually do my work on Friday before it is due and get very distracted because it is almost the weekend. Like McKenna said, I should start setting aside specific times to do the work
ReplyDeleteHey Matt, l really like the photo you picked for this assignment. Creed I thought was going to be a dumb movie that continued the Rocky saga. However, after watching the movie I saw that there was more meaning behind it. People come after us to take our place just like passing a torch and no matter how much we fall we should never give up. The speeches that Rocky gives just gives me goosebumps and I can tell from your writing how much you wanted to push forward.
