Assignment #14 Halfway Reflection

Halfway Reflection #14
Why Tenacity Always Trumps Persistence
1) Tenaciousness is a competency. What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course? 
  • I have tried to develop an outside perspective on all of my assignments. I have set time aside each week in order to complete the assignments and peer reviews on time. I think you need to go into this class with an open mind and a willingness to share your ideas with others. One thing that is important for this class, I believe, is the ability to take constructive criticism from peers in an effective way. 

2) Tenaciousness is also about attitude. Talk about a moment or two when you felt like "giving up." What pulled you through? Do you feel like you've developed a tenacious attitude during the past two months? What experience or experiences most contributed to this?
  • I have felt like giving up many time before in my life. The most influential time was during exams when my attention is going in all different directions. I pulled through by just simply getting through it. Once time went by, I felt a lot better. This class has definitely helped me have a sense of purpose. Being able to develop my own business idea has definitely most contributed to my tenacious attitude. 

3) Three tips. What are three tips you would offer next semester's student about (1) fostering the skills that support tenacity and (2) developing the 'tenacious mindset' ?
  • Make sure to designate time each week and weekend to do the assignments, peer reviews, and cupcakes. Maybe even set reminders for each task. 
  • Watch the lectures! Definitely helps with understanding everything and doing the cupcakes. 
  • Have an open mind. Be able to have an idea and the modify it to be even better than before. An open mind will help you with a tenacious mindset.

  1. Hey Kelly,
    I agree with your first point, about behaviors to keep up with the class. To introduce becoming an entrepreneur in your own life, you have to be willing to share ideas no matter how large or small with those around you because it could help you with success in the long run. Your tips about getting through this class are also helpful and could be applied to many of the classes we may take her at UF.

  2. Hello Kelly,
    I really like your advice about watching the lectures. Since all of the questions on the cupcakes come from the lectures it is beneficial for students to watch them. I also agree students should come into this course with an open mind. I am not a very creative person so coming up with a business idea was challenging. By having an open mind I was able to create a product I think customers would really use.
