After reading the article we were given in class I was asked to choose a couple of section of the article that I find particularly interesting and reflect on them freely on my blog.
T o start I want to say that I really enjoy reading and found it quite interesting although there were things I didn’t agree with.
One of the sections I liked the most was Overcome Your Fear of Failure. It talks about our fear of public humiliation and how it keeps us from doing what we really want. I felt much identified with this feeling because I’m always scared of what people might think if I do something and it goes wrong. I am always thinking “and what will they say about me? “. The idea of people thinking that I’m something which I’m not terrifies me I must confess. The piece of advice that I found really useful is when it says that the one who would judge me may not even notice my missteps and if they do they will be smart to think that what failed are my behaviors and not me as a human being.
The section I liked the most was You and Your World which is about our desire of changing situations and thinking that what we lack would makes as happy. I liked when it talked about people who hated their boss and how they would to change him for another one but it also says that tweaking how your react to bosses generally could benefit you much more than trading this one in for a new model you’ll soon detest just as much. In my opinion this advice can adjust to many situation because changes means new and unknown things some can be better and some can be worst. Always we will find something we like and some we don’t but we have to learn to deal with the or otherwise we’ll be running away from every situation we can’t handle.
Finally the best advice I found is “readjusting your expectations sets you up for less disappointment because I always tend to make a whole fantasy in my head and when things don’t turned out as I wanted I even want to cry. I don’t mean that we should forget bout out goals but maybe be realistic about them .
