1) A time this past semester where I failed, was when I tried to find a sublease for my apartment this summer. I kind of left everything to the last minute unfortunately, which resulted in me losing out on potential opportunities. These serve as my opportunity costs. I had diligently tried to go on the UF Housing groups as of recent, but to no avail!
2) I learned that in order to succeed, you have to be proactive. Going forward I will indeed keep myself accountable to the process of being timely with my responsibilities.
3) Failure is hard. I like to balance my priorities with my workload. In this case I let myself down a little by not being on top of my stuff, this allowed for my wellbeing to slip through the cracks a little. This class has allowed me to view failure as an opportunity to instead grow from our mistakes. I am more likely to take business risks going forward in order to captivate the opportunities ahead.
Patrick,
ReplyDeleteFunny enough, last summer I endured the same problem! I didn't begin searching for individuals to sublease my apartment up until April and this resulted in me having to pay for an apartment I wasn't living in all summer. I have definitely learned from this experience, and this semester I decided to start searching for potential subleasers early in February. Although I have not had success, I believe I still learned a valuable lesson because proper time-management can be applied to everything!
