1) Tenaciousness is a skill. What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course?
The behaviors that I have used or developed where:
- becoming comfortable talking with others
- learning to accept criticism
- learning to appreciate that people have different talents/ideas
- patience when it comes to seeing someone else's point of view, even if it doesn't agree with mine
- self-discipline when it comes to turning in/doing all assignments on time
2) Tenaciousness is also about attitude. Talk about a moment or two when you felt like "giving up." What pulled you through? Do you feel like you've developed a tenacious attitude during the past two months? What experience or experiences most contributed to this?
Truthfully, I don't think I've felt about giving up during this course. Although there are sections that I have found less interesting than others - nothing has really driven me to the point of wanting to stop doing my work. I feel like this class has enhanced my tenacious attitude but it didn't necessarily create it for me. The experiences of going out and interviewing costumers have certainly added to this amount of tenacity.
3) Three tips. What are three tips you would offer next semester's student about (1) fostering the skills that support tenacity and (2) developing the 'tenacious mindset' ?
- Be patient with yourself during the creative process.
- Allow yourself to feel uncomfortable and uneasy - it will help you grow.
- Actually try when it comes to these assignments - although they are easy and don't require a lot of effort, the more you give to them, the more you will get out
Hi Kristiana,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I just want to say that I really appreciate the photo you used of the dog. I would have to agree that I have also had to develop a lot of the skills you mentioned when discussing tenacity. I have definitely had to become more comfortable with talking to strangers, especially for our customer interviews.
I liked your tips as well!
