1) Tenacity is a competition. What behaviors have you used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course?
First of all, I knew that this course required a lot of writing and that it would always be required to the limit in my writing. With the weeks that I have been in the course I have felt that my way of writing has reached a point that the reader thinks in a deeper way and my concepts to analyze. Likewise punctuality in my tasks.
2) Tenacity is also about attitude. Talk about a moment or two when you felt like "giving up." What attracted you? Do you feel that you have developed a tenacious attitude during the last two months? What experience or experiences more contributed to this?
I have felt that I have developed tenacity since this class requires a lot of commitment and dedication. Over there I have heard that some electives are only taken to fulfill the graduation requirement, but nevertheless I do not agree with this specific class since this class teaches us to start and write fluently.
3) Three tips. What are three tips you would offer the student next semester on (1) fostering skills that support toughness and (2) developing a 'tough mindset'?
To build skills, read an entrepreneurship book before taking this class. Second, never leave the tasks until the last minute because, due to the eagerness, ideas may not be reflected, and finally, have an attitude of always being willing to work with the required skills and your mind will take care of the other.
Hi Javier,
ReplyDeleteI think the two tips you provided are excellent. Developing a tough mindset is something that I’ve done while undertaking this course. I think your definition of tenacity is also very accurate. I am glad you developed the ability to write better while taking this course. That is also a skill I have developed. I’m glad you decided to take this class as an elective!

Hey Javier, I think your point about reading an entrepreneurship book before this class is great. While it's not 100% needed to do well in this class, I do feel that it helps a lot to have a basic understanding of entrepreneurship before taking on this class. I read an entrepreneurship class back in May, and it certainly has helped me apply the concepts from this class to the real world. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI liked how you said tenacity was a competition. It’s something I’ve thought about, but couldn’t ever quite put into words. A lot of the times that I’ve been struggling I’ve found that taking on a competitive spirit, thinking of your obstacles as opponents, really helps me keep going. I don’t know if it’s some weird quirk of psychology, but I find it much easier to face challenges after I’ve personified them.
ReplyDeleteHi Javier,
ReplyDeleteReading an entrepreneurial book prior to starting this class is a great idea and one that I did not think of myself. That could really help someone acclimate to the environment of the class. Tenacity is a great skill this class has taught, I'm glad you were able to learn more about writing!
