Half-way Reflection

1. Tenacious is a skill: To keep up with the requirements of this course, you definitely have to manage your time because assignments can creep up on you. Although I thought I had this skill, it's definitely developed for the better. I also have developed an ability to not take things personally due to the amount of times you will hear "no." Something I didn't have before but now do is the confidence to walk up to strangers and ask them questions about yourself. It's very scary at first and I think I've overcome this fear and I believe it's made me more tenacious.
2. Tenacious is also about attitude: There were many times where I felt like giving up in this class just because of the mental perseverance it requires. I think the times when I felt this was the back-to-back-to-back weeks of interviewing customers. This experience requires a mental strength of walking up to random people and being able to hear rejection. I definitely developed a tenacious attitude because of this as you have to stay focused and not get down on yourself if you're told no.
3. Three Tips: The tips I would give are: 1) Take every assignment seriously because they will build these tenacious skills if you do them right; 2) Always have a positive attitude so that you can be able to absorb the rejection; and 3) Know before hand that developing this tenacious mindset isn't easy and that you are willing to go through the challenges this class presents you.
