Week11: Balancing Life

 

This week I have learned that I must make a lot of ethical decisions as an entrepreneur and that means that I would have to make a lot of tough decisions because I will be required to do things that will be uncomfortable. Therefore, I must never put myself in a situation that I cannot say “No”

 

I have learned that balancing family life and work could be challenging, and it requires a lot of effort in doing so. I have learned that when I leave the house to go to work, I must believe that that choice I am making is worth it. I have learned that in balancing family and work-life, I could include my partner in the job even though her interests may be different from mine. I could invite my spouse to come on business trips when they are appropriate so she would know how things go around with the business I do. There is going to be a lot of understanding and appreciation from her end if I can make time out for her and the family.

 

I could go to work with my kids to let them know how things work around at my workplace and see the operations of the work. I have learned that when I am with my family, I must make sure that I make family time a quality moment. Even though my business may be critical, I must make them know that they come first and very important to me.

 

After all, how to keep a balance life is to pay attention, and to ask right questions so that you can be careful with your priorities. I have learned that I must live my life for the people who are there for me. It will be a dangerous thing to know at the end of my life that I did not live for anyone but myself.

THINGS TO HOLD DEAR

  These are some of the things I learned this semester that I will take with me forever: I must learn to start somewhere. Everything starts with first, a dream, even if they are not huge plans there should be something to serve as a propeller. Having a dream matters because it is what fires us up to find purpose and satisfaction in this life As an entrepreneur, I must see life as a journey which I am embarking on. And in a journey there may be times where I would not have things as I have planned. Life is not going to always be as I want it. I have learned that I must know what I am made of truly to be successful. Knowing what I am made of will be a constant guide when I figure it out because it will lead me to my start. I would not waste my time in places where I should not be and with people I should not associate with. Knowing my potentials is just not enough if I do not know what drives me and what brings out the best out of me.  Taking control of...

Week7: 7 Habits

  This week I have learned about the 7 habits of highly effective people and out of the 7 t he fifth habit is one that has the most meaning to me. “First seek to understand, then to be understood.” I think this one thing that I would like to master as a person. I have learned previously that by listening to others then only are we able to know their concerns and how to come to their aids. We cannot be empathetic towards other when we have not sort to hear them out or now what they are going through. I think of this habit also as being slow to judging others until we know the entire story. Sadly, most time we fall short to this habit and are quick to conclude on matter with a half knowledge and that is not a good habit. People will only understand us when we have understood them. So, in other to be understood we must be willing to understand others. We can gain the trust of those when we hear them out and they knowing that we care to know their story and we are concerned about t...

Week 1: REFLECTION

  This week I had a few things I took away and they are: As an entrepreneur, I must see life as a journey which I am embarking on. And in a journey they may be times where I would not have things as I have planned. Live is not going to always be as I want it. I must learn to start somewhere. Everything starts with first, a dream, even if they are not huge plans there should be something to serve as a propeller. Having a dream matters because it is what fires us up to find purpose and satisfaction in this life. After dreaming, I must wake up and give life to that dream and that is working the dream. I cannot find meaning and satisfaction in what I have planned until I do what is planned. I have learned that life will not be fair, and that, I must always move on with it. Life is not always going to be blissful-in fact, it is seldom blissful. My daily habits will be etched on my soul, which in turn will become my person or character and so, I must be mindful of what I do eac...
