I think it is safe to assume that most university/college, students tend to become less engaged during the warmer months of the year. If this is so evident, how can we eliminate all the obstacles that seem to obstruct our path toward success? If the purpose of going to school to advance in one’s career, the primary objective, then why are some individuals slacking in class or comfortable with mediocrity? Are students being force to attend school by a spouse, job, or parent? It is hard to cure an epidemic that hasn’t been fully diagnosed; however, the focused should be geared toward becoming successful.
The level of success may vary from person to person due to upbringing, so I will be frank. As a professor here, I have seen many things and my primary objective is make individuals better going out than they were coming in. The first few weeks of any new assignment will be great until one become comfortable and the real individual will start to dwell. Missing work, absence becomes great, and failing test usually is the result. I guess the only question I have for everyone: How can we ignore the obstacles that tend to misguide up from our goal? Obstacles, such as jobs (not careers), crazy girlfriends/boyfriends (women have problems men has issues), warm weather and drama, just to name a few? What can be the focus and how can we commit to that goal?
I'm absolutely agree with this, because when a person don't have any goal in their life you not gonna have progress in your future. Also, you are who you want to be, nobody have control of your life only you write your scripts!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI concur fully. There is a lack of self responsibility in this day and age. I feel there is a lack of conviction and motivation. In the warmer months you may want to travel see the world with nothing hindering you or you may just want to sit around and do absolutely nothing all summer long. Where does it really get you, uninspired, lazy, behind in your studies. If your not willing to fight for your future shame on you. Doing the right things in life is Never easy, but it will be Worth it.
ReplyDeleteThe Personalized Engine For Success: A Global Challenge
ReplyDeleteWhat is summertime blues? Hot Fun in the summertime is why we are distracted!
I agree with what you said in your blog of Tuesday, June 21 2011 about School Challenges. Hopefully it also applies to creating a positive attitude of personal success, becoming a goal orientated person, and being a good role model for the youth all the year around. In the summer there may be more distractions than in other seasons. This is true for people living on the east coast because we wait all year for only two and a half months of summer. On the west coast they are maybe well adapted to the warm weather because it is climate all year around and they maybe better adjusted to focus on their careers. The question still remains about how we motivate ourselves to set goals and keep up with the global demand.
Who are we? We are Human Capital!
The Human Spirit must be improved and that improvement comes through the engine of despair. Students may live too much within their comfort zones and are afraid to challenge themselves. Failure can never be a destructive engine if the mechanisms to succeed are positively understood. It’s the identical mentality a runner uses when training to run the NYC marathon. The runner trains for the marathon by adding a mile each week until he or she is running 26 miles. In this context mediocrity and despair has no triumph or resilience if so the Human Spirit will could not succeed.
How do great innovations happen? They happen with you!
I don’t think that there needs to be any debates, arguments, studies, and or research to see that the world is changing. The Industrial Revolution in America and in the developed western world is forever no more in the 21st century. Developing countries or BRIC nations are carrying that torch in the 21 century as you read this blog. The rise of the knowledge worker is on the brink of prominence in America. It is a Global phenomenon. I think the epidemic of mediocrity is curable and requires a self diagnosis for a personalized prognosis to create an engine and it’s mechanism for success in the 21st century and beyond.
I agree with the author, if a person has set a goal to achieve certain things in life, it depends only on himself. This path can be very difficult, and yet you will not pass this way himself, from beginning to end, nothing you can do and see in life. None of you will not do it. A person's character is formed in the womb, and if people do not bring up from the very beginning, he would not be useful in the future. Epidemic can be prevented if the disease is to kill the very beginning.
