My purpose in life is to be a living sacrifice to my Lord, who gave His life for me so that I might live on purpose for His purpose and others. My personal mission in life is to continue to learn to walk with Christ so that I can walk like Christ. And, to know Him in a more personal way as Apostle Paul stated in Phil. 3:10 (KJV), “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;”

Actually the teamwork is the most area I would like to improve in myself, because I did not have used to work with a group and I think that I produce better and even faster when I work by my own that might be because of my last experience in teamwork, also maybe because of my shy personality. For example, sometimes I get worried to propose a new idea to someone and he doesn't like it. However to be honest in my BEST week experiences of the teamwork was very good and unexpected. They were all collaborators except one person. After all I believe that I will deal with all the different kinds of personalities in my career, so I must get to use to it. We worked on some activities that could improve our teamwork. For example, we worked in a poster of team contracts which involve the team rules and the consequences if these rules are broken. In our team contracts we wrote the points that we think it is the most important, for instance: the team member must respect each other ideas and opinions. Everyone should improve their own skills. And one of the most important thing that I learned was if each member of the team used his skills the team will get a very good results at the end so I must not get shy to produce my thought and ideas. Another thing effect me in a positive way after working in a teamwork is talking better in presentations. For example, in the management challenge we have been asked to present our product after

The first habit listed by Stephen R. Covey, is to be proactive. He breaks down the word to create a simple reference, “response-able” means understanding that you are accountable for your life. Your behaviors are determined by you.

Christy Ebron was a graduate student of Texas A&M University, she majored in accounting. She spoke about learning, growing, executing, and leading when it comes to working with others. Ebron stressed the concept of working with others and how rules are stabilized to maintain a successful teamwork, I found the tips important because in the business work teamwork is used regularly. I didn't feel so happy about the concept of working with others constantly but after she spoke of the process it all made sense. Having a team to depend on and work with is highly beneficial and helps immensely with balancing work and life outside work.

My true purpose in life is to help people of all kinds with problems of all types. I love listening to people and helping them as much as I can. Being able to help people, makes me feel abundant about myself because not only am I making them content, but I am

It allowed us to bring more creativity and energy to build teamwork effectiveness. Our first meeting started with introductions of each professional background. We believed that the acknowledging differences were important to appreciate the contributions. It allowed us also to build trust and collaborative approach.

In this essay, I write what I learned from the reading of Business Through the Eyes of Faith by Richard C. Chewning, John W. Eby, and Shirley J. Roels. The book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey.

V., & Nardi, D., Myers-Briggs type indicator (Form M) by Briggs, K. C., & Myers, I. B., and finally the Learning style inventory (Version 3.1) by Kolb, D.

What right do we have to control material things? How does time

According to Dr Steve Maraboli, “You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to do it courageously.” Purpose can be defined as the motive or the cause why people do what they do. Even more, it consists in what an individual can accomplish in her or his life, in order to, feel gratified and satisfied. My personal purpose in this life is to succeed in everything I do. I want to obtain my marketing degree and specialize myself in fashion, to become a recognized and notable business and fashion figure, own and associate to different companies, stay financially stable, inspire people around the world, and create an amazing family. Actually, I can point that as my purpose because it basically relates to everything I want for my future. I want to raise wonderful and responsible children and be able to not only provide them love and basic needs, but also please them with what they want occasionally and of course, make sure that they will never be in need of anything.
