For this post, students have been asked to reflect on their
semester so far from the perspective of talking to a student from the next semester.
The focus of this post will be about tenacity and how it relates to entrepreneurship.
Let’s jump into it!
Keeping
up with this course can be a challenge. What has helped me progress this far
the most has been establishing a routine. Every week, I block out some time to work
on my blog posts. This has helped me stay consistent and earn all my points so
far.
There
will be moments when you feel like giving up, or just don’t know how you’re
going to get the assignments done each week. For me, I think back to the
challenge that I faced playing high school sports and decide that if I could
make it through summer practice, I can make it through this assignment. Learning
discipline in sports has absolutely made me a better college student.
Developing
an attitude of tenacity will not only help you in this course, but also in life
as well. There are no limits to what we can do other than those that we place
on ourselves. To further cultivate your attitude of tenacity, you should follow
these 3 tips. 1.) Practice deferred gratification. This will help you to
recognize the value in working for what you want. 2.) Get out of your comfort
zone. The only way to grow is to do things that aren’t in your wheelhouse,
whether that is socially, physically, or mentally. 3.) Set Goals. It is so much
easier to push yourself if there is a clear-cut picture of the finish line.
Let’s go out
and be tenacious!
Hey Michael!
ReplyDeleteI feel like majority of students have had problems with time management, and reading your reflection of the course is something that I relate to! I really like how you plot out time specifically for this class and I realized that it is something that i should do more often! Love the conclusion and how you divided your advice into three parts! I hope that the incoming students for this class is able to read this and get a lot out of it. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Michael, I love the method you used to put yourself back on track. Talking to oneself is not always seen as a positive or constructive activity, but sometimes you do have to talk sense into yourself. Setting goals is a great tip, because not only does it give you a more concrete idea of what you have to do, it can be essential to success for you to experience some small victories along the way.
