It is essential to view others’ frame of reference in order understand what others perceive to be able to develop and succeed. I have analyzed my thoughts, feelings, and actions through my frame of reference. I will use my positive traits to further develop them and I plan to turn my negative traits into positive ones to be able to succeed in any field of my preference. However, I have identified many positive and negative traits I obtain and I have narrowed them down to one positive and one negative trait at a time. I am highly skilled at taking responsibility, but I lack the patience, and I plan to practice that by using others frame of reference of time. I have learned to master responsibility given multiple tasks of being a student, mother, and a wife. I learned to master responsibility after I had my first child in my first year of college. It was very difficult to be a mother, wife, and an honors student. I started procrastinating because I felt exhausted most of the time and I would not do homework. As a result, my GPA dropped and I am unable to get financial aid until I raise my GPA to the minimum required by the federal regulations. As an adult, I learned the hard way that there are no excuses for being …show more content…
I have identified taking responsibility as my positive trait and impatience as my negative trait. In addition, I plan to use the frame of reference to respect others’ time and get a broader view of how others’ consider time. The next time I go to school to pick up my son, I will practice using those parents’ frame of reference to comprehend that their time is as valuable as mine. Frame of reference has become essential in helping me overcome my impatience. However, I plan to succeed in the business field, and that requires a lot of responsibility and much more
In order to get everything done and turned in on the due dates, I had to manage my time and not
Benjamin Franklin once said that “he that can have patience can have what he will,” implying that urgency and impatience is the only thing holding humanity back from achieving their goals and dreams. For those who were not born with it, patience is a skill that must be learned. Individuals must be able to wait and calmly trust the process to achieve their dreams. Patience can ease anxiety and ultimately lead individuals toward their goals and aspirations. On the other hand, individuals who expect specific results and desire their aspirations immediately have no tranquility as they become anxious and lose patience when they do not achieve their objectives, eventually leading to their downfall.
I was hospitalized for over a week and missed a significant amount of school. Due to procedures and multiple appointments, I had missed around seventy days in one year. Even though I had a 504 Plan that excused my absences, I was still stressed. Getting an education has always been extremely important to me and being behind upset me. I had an abundance of work that needed to be done and I pushed through.
It was eleven o’three when I finally started my homework. It was official; I was in the fourth, final, and worst stage of procrastination, the crisis stage. I was exhausted, just trying to finish solving all the problems, and not even checking to see if any of them were right. It seemed no matter how many times I had to suffer the consequences of procrastination, I still chose the easy way, or at least it was easy for a while, until I had virtually no time left and had to rush to get it done.
Upon graduating high school, I enrolled at the University of Oklahoma with a clear-cut idea of what I wanted to pursue. I declared a major in biology and began my academic career. During this time I was able to continue shadowing, but experienced a slight set back. Like many individuals, it took me some time to adapt to the college lifestyle and my GPA suffered from that. Upon maturation though I was able to get back onto the right path and develop the necessary habits to achieve things like the Dean’s and President’s Honor Rolls for multiple semesters and was able to declare a minor in
Before moving to North Carolina, my academics were not my top priority, they were not very important to me at the time. I was not influenced by my teachers or any adults around me. They did not care enough to push me to be the best that I can be, work hard and be an active member in my school or community. Due to the lack of encouragement, I was not as responsible and focused on my academics as I should have been. My grades were not what they could have been.
Wayne Gretzky once said… “Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy.” Many people should take advice like that to heart, but I was one of those people who regret not taking it. Intermittently my mom would knock on my door and ask, “Have you started your homework?” I would reply each time without hesitation, “Not yet
I’m a hard-working and motivated person, because I believe that with enough practice anyone can be good at anything.

In addition, I’m self-critical, therefore, I’m good at knowing my weaknesses and what I’m lacking.

Who really wants to do things that are difficult, challenging, uncomfortable, tedious, hard, or boring? Here is our dilemma: we procrastinate because, as "immediate gratification" people we enjoy the short-lived pleasure of not doing what we don't want to do. We get to stay in our comfort zones and avoid the pain we dislike feeling. However, by doing so, we create longer-term, more severe conditions,
It is also key to be aware what we are or are not capable of in our work. It is important to continue to grow and develop personally and professionally. This is an ongoing process throughout our lives. According to Day, Halpin & Zaccaro, 2004, (cited by Share & Lalor, 2009, p123) for ‘self-development to occur, a person needs to become aware of his/her internal processes {thoughts, feelings, moods, beliefs and actions} and have an awareness of how these internal processes impact on others as an external process’. Self-awareness and self-development work hand in hand with one another, as do personal and professional development.
Observation: I never procrastinated when I was younger, but as I got older for some reason I began to delay my responsibilities as much as possible. I observed as my peers did the same and left important task to the very last minute. I have stayed up late at night trying to finish a project that was due the next day simply because I delayed doing it earlier. I have run around like crazy and stressed out about filling out applications a day before the deadline because I wasted my time doing other things. I also saw many of my peers doing the exact same thing.
When I think positively, I can achieve greater things, however, having a negative mind-set would handicap me in many ways, obstructing me from achieving my goals. By internalizing this presupposition, I have learnt to always think positively and believe that I can accomplish my goals in
Why not you? It is a disease that has eaten wide and deep into our moral standard which requires immediate and diligent actions. It is not our fault but, nonetheless, we still have to deal with it. Procrastination has its personal price; it makes us miss, lose and suffer.
