2. A moment specifically in this class when I thought about giving up was involving the first elevator pitch. I had had a really long week and I was having technical difficulties with getting my video filmed and uploaded, and I almost decided to call it and give up rather than keep trying to figure out how to get it all to work properly. With Webster's second definition of "tenacious," I definitely feel like I developed a tenacious attitude with the elevator assignment alone, and I hope that the attitude continues to carry over.
3. Tips:
- To develop a tenacious mindset I would say practice good habits in your personal life, such as eating or sleeping well, because then once you're disciplined in that, I feel like it will be a lot easier to set a goal and go after it relentlessly.
- Another tip to develop a tenacious mindset I'd say would be to take ideas or things that catch your eye randomly, and actually pursue the line of thinking to see what ideas it may lead to. For example, if you're riding around with friends and you're looking out the window and notice something going wrong in a particular at a restaurant or something, actually keep thinking about a way maybe to fix whatever went wrong. It'll train your thinking differently.
- In order to foster skills that support tenacity, practice both thinking outside of the box and pitching ideas to close friends. I've found that if I've talked an idea over a little with people close to me, then I'm much more apt to be able to talk about things I normally wouldn't with strangers, which leads to just being more confident in general.
Also, this was 100% me trying to figure out how to post the elevator pitch. I feel you, Patrick.
Hello Chloe. I have had many issues with Canvas populating the calendar to my liking as well. It is difficult to keep up with the different assignments in this class due to them having separate parts as well. I love your first tip about being disciplined in things like eating or sleeping well. I have heard this tip before. People say eating healthy is one of the most difficult things for humans to do these days. So, I believe, if you are disciplined enough to do that, you can do anything.
ReplyDeleteGreat post Chloe! One thing that has helped me as well is setting things up on my iPhone’s calendar and not letting assignments pile up. I think that organization is an excellent tool to use, and that it is great to have something other than canvas to keep us organized. I also liked your story about how you developed a “tenacious” attitude with the elevator assignment, good for you!
