Learning as a Way of Life

Not having a strong sense of confidence can cause problems such as being easily influenced, having trouble making the right decisions, and getting involved in unhealthy relationships. Developing a strong sense of identity and self esteem is important because we must first learn how to understand and love ourselves before we can allow anyone else to. I am confident because I know who I am and what I want in live. I am driven and goal oriented and I will stop at literally nothing to get what I want. Being confident in myself has allowed me to express myself in a variety of ways without worrying whether or not people are going to judge me. I’m a big believer in “look good, feel good, do good” so I always try to look my best even if I’m feeling not-so-confident on that particular

I believe that having this self-confidence is necessary in our time and age where the social forces at large always try to push us into different

Gaining confidence: Your self-confidence is an important life tool. Its like riding a bike. First, you must learn to ride the bike. Then it takes practice to get really good at it. But once you have mastered riding, it is as natural as breathing.

Many people in history, as well as my mentors, have influenced my personal learning philosophy about early childhood learning.

I always wondered why people made bad choices, always doing what they hated to do. For me, it seemed like life was a narrowing tunnel. Right when you were born, the tunnel was huge. You could be anything. Then you started to grow up and everything you did closed the tunnel some more. You broke your arm climbing a tree and you ruled out being a baseball pitcher. You failed everyday math test you ever took and you cancelled any hope of ever being a scientist. On and on through the years the tunnel narrowed. You suddenly became stuck. You’d become a baker or a librarian or a bartender. And there you were. I figured that on the day you died, the tunnel would be so narrow; squeezing yourself of so many choices, that you just got squashed. But I

Going into the journey people often feel like they know everything there is to know. Most of the time they realize they was wrong, they did not

The Management Assessment profile was extremely helpful to me and how I can move forward in my career as a leader. The assessment covered many topics such as: This profile unveiled some things to me that I was not privy to in the past. One of the things that Tom mentioned during the debrief with me, is that my results are fit for a large organization or a small business. This was great information for me because I can take either approach and make it work for me. Ideally I like working in a large corporation, because there is room for growth. I believe there is also more room for cross training and changing positions if need be. So the tract that we went with as far as how I was scored was that of a small venture. Innovation and the three keys to innovation which are problem solving, process and product development. An important fact surrounding innovation, is having very high problem solving scores. The caution in this would be to have a team with little or no problem solving skills. As far as innovation I scored high for the need to be innovative and being creative. I am driven by being able to provide creative products and services to people, and in return the recognition that is given soothes the need for external recognition. Tolerance for, and ability to assess risk was another topic from the assessment. This is about the ability to assess the risk and the ability to tolerate the consequences of taking chances. This is very important for early stages of entrepreneurs, being able to quickly assess risk and take action. I also felt like I was one who was

Paragraph1: I would explain learning as observation, learning is sensory, when you learn your taking in everything around you, and then you dissect it, make sense of it, then you can understand it. Learning is using your critical thinking skills and judgement so that you respond appropriately to any given situation. My personal view of learning has changed for me because prior to becoming an online student I just figured that learning was the teacher telling you things and you retaining that information until when needed. I actually understand how I learn and what is going on in my brain, the brain- mind connection when I’m learning, how the stimuli translates the information and produces my thoughts, feelings, and my actions.

Self reliance and assuredness is something many people hope to achieve during their lifetime. There’s something very reassuring to know that even if no one else has your back when times are tough, you can always rely on yourself and your possessions. When a person has that deep level of internal self reflection established early on in

The illusion of confidence tends to mimic people's mind. Human beings tend to see people with confidence differently from those who are not. Since, those who are confident are perceived differently others treat them differently. For instance, those who are confident are treated as being skillful, smart and knowledgeable. Thus, the being overconfident perpetuates and perceives than those who are not. Furthermore, it helps some not all perceive higher success than what its valued solely. On the note, those who are not so good reflect confidence and those that are good not so much.

At Indiana University, I have an graduate assistantship in Residential Programs and Services (RPS) as a Graduate Supervisor. The residence hall that I supervise is Forest, located on 1725 E. 3rd Street. Paul Hafner is my supervisor.

A resident's growth and development can be achieved in a variety of ways. Being a graduate supervisor, I have adopted the philosophy of learning reconsidered.

The world is one magnificent place and each and every person was put on it to do something and to be something. To find your place in this world is not easy, in fact it is immensely difficult. There are some people who figure out who they are and what they were born to do by the time they graduate highschool, and others who die before they are able to figure this out. There aren’t step-by-step directions that tell you how to live fully and how to make the most out of life. It is an open path that can be taken a number of different ways. Out of the seven billion people in this world, you were born to be someone, not born to try and live another person's life, but to live your own in the distinct ways that describe who you are. It is the way you choose to live that is important. It shows the direction you want to go in order to be the best you can be. I may only be seventeen years young, but I have quite the understanding of life that I would like to share with you.

Therefore, in order the nurture in a challenging society, independent thinkers need to gain certain qualities to face challenges. One of the quality is the self-confidence. When a person lack confidence in himself, the qualm creep into their minds, which restrict his ability to think independently and force him to accept status qua. You can develop self-confidence by gaining knowledge as it encourages you to look at issues from several angles, rather than from few established

I think confidence is something that develops over time. The best thing for me to do is to learn to trust my own decision making. I need to learn how to be comfortable in listening to my own voice. This will be best done in practice more then anything. I worry to much about what could happen if I made the wrong choice so I drown out my decisions by letting someone else make them for me and that is a terrible way to be. There will be times that I will need to ask someone for advice but that should not be my primary way of getting what I need done Practice and time will be my best for me. I think if I could be more confident in myself others woud be more confident in me and I could be put in more positions where leadership

The hypothesis that we learn by retaining 10 percent of what we read, 20 percent of what we hear, 30 percent of what we see, 50 percent of what we hear and see, 70 percent of what we say and 90 percent of what we say and do, has not been taken to be scientifically accurate and may not necessarily mean much, however, relevance can still be extracted from the quote in terms of many ways of retaining some details in the memory.
