My Reflection: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

# data[].attributes.body
The video talked about the 7 habits of Highly Effective people in order to have some self-development in yourself, but first we must ask what is highly effective person is, a highly effective person is someone who has a good character and someone who has a good relationship with other people. He maintains harmony with his family, relatives, friends, neighbors and workmates. This good relationship can last for a long time. He is someone who has strong values. The first habit is about “Be proactive” this habit is about taking charge by proactively fixing what doesn't work for us rather than just accept things the way they are. You are responsible for your own life and to make things happen, try to operate within the things you can control and don’t worry about the things you can’t control. Take initiative, responsibility of the fate and influence others. The second habit is “Begin with the End in Mind” this habit tells you about the importance of having a vision, something to look forward to about visualizing your future events. This vision will help you guide your decisions and keep you focused. Keep the end of something in mind when working and planning. Examining yourself, imagining the kind of person you want to be, implement personal leadership and identify end goals. The third habit is “Put first things first”. I think this habit is very relevant in today's world where everyone is trying to be as productive as possible. We must focus our time on the things that are truly important for progress and we shouldn’t be afraid to delegate that which is not a priority to you. Having goals for each role helps you stay balanced. Scheduling the goals in your week helps you set time aside for them. All in all, it is all about time management. The fourth is “think win-win". We must always aim for the win-win scenarios with other people. Think about the things that benefit you the most and really have convenience that will help you grow. The fifth is “Seek first to understand then to be understood”. We should truly understand someone before trying to diagnose their problem or give advice. After understanding, we can present our own ideas. Be actively trying to understand someone by putting yourself in their shoes before trying to bring up your own opinion. If someone feels like you truly understand him, that person is more likely to listen to your opinion. The sixth one is “Synergize”. You should value other people's differences. It gives you multiple points of view. Synergizing is about the previous habits that was mentioned and how you will completely use it to have some result. Joining with other people using the 5 habits so that you could make a great result of what you want to have. Lastly the seventh one is “Sharpen the Saw”. This habit is about always keeping yourself fit, mentally and physically, and always trying to grow. Maintaining all the previous habits to be the best version of yourself. You should constantly be taking care of your needs to ensure that you’re ready to apply these habits at any time. To conclude this, I think that this is all about productivity and how effectiveness doesn't come from the systems and tools you use. It comes from within. Mastering these 7 habits of effectiveness which are easy to learn but difficult to practice in all walks of life can be very convenient at all times.

1. Indeed, it is where true power lies within. It all start from yourself, understanding, accepting and lastly the confidence to show it. It has always been a question to myself to understand deeply what I want and who am I. There will always be something to learn about oneself. From the day we are born, our minds are being programmed by our parents, teachers, family, and friends and whoever happens to cross our paths. We also grow with the environment around us, to be fully different in a world you live in can be very pressuring and later on be frustrating. The result is that in a way we are destined to think in a similar way, resulting in a similar outcome. Therefore, most of us we become trapped like birds in a cage, buried within the mindsets of others, completely blinded to the truths which surround us. Instead we should set our minds free to roam the skies like an eagle. All our brains are wired differently which makes us all unique individuals, yet we are being led to the slaughter houses of the minds to be stripped from our very own thoughts and expectations. The time has come for us to take responsibility for our own thoughts and ideas and to not just accept the thoughts and ideas of others, present or past, no matter how real it might seem, for the truth is in the eyes of the beholder. Sometimes the insensible makes more sense, than sense itself. We all have a heightened sense of curiosity only to be suppressed by fear of status, ridicule, and peer pressure, but deep inside we are all the same, being shared at the subconscious level without us being consciously aware. We should learn not just to accept anything although it might be a fact, but learn to question those facts within the unlimited boundaries of our own minds, without the limiting influences of others. Boundaries should only exist outside our perceptions. Our minds are very powerful and much better at working things out in the reality of our subconscious minds. It is important to have a good understanding of yourself and how you are different from the people that you are treating because their experiences and goals are different from yours. They do not want to or need to be another you. That’s why accepting yourself is a necessary condition to truly improve yourself. Accept that you are who you are and unless you are doing things that are socially unacceptable, nobody has the right to tell you to change. If you accept yourself, trying to become a better person becomes much easier and is more productive. If you say to yourself, I accept who I am, but I need to improve in these certain areas, then you’ll be able to genuinely improve yourself. For example, if you accept that you’re not good at a certain task, then that is a form of accepting yourself. Then, you can figure why you aren’t good at it or how you can improve, starting with the basics. On the other hand, if you don’t accept yourself and try to become a better person, then your efforts will be wasted. When you don’t accept yourself for who you are, then you have a serious problem. That problem is that you can’t be someone else. You’re you. At best, you’ll be deeply unhappy with trying to be something other than you are. No one’s perfect and won’t be. But one can improve themselves, strengthening their better qualities, while learning to accept what they can’t change in themselves. Lastly you need be fully confidence to yourself. Show it that you are confident and it all has to do with your mindset. You shouldn’t think that you are inferior to other people. You have to stop always convincing yourself that you are somehow lower, and inferior than everyone around you. You are not meant to be miserable or less successful than other people. You deserve the same amount of respect, success, and satisfaction as everyone else. You have to really believe this idea that you deserve the good things in life, and that you can actually achieve them, it’s not a dream, it’s totally attainable. 2. Just reading #Imatter I always think about black lives matter. Today’s event is such a miserable one as some people couldn’t give a right equality to black people and still mistreat them as an inferior race to white. But I guess I shouldn’t talk about this matter and should talk about the other one. I matter, you matter, we matter. We are all human being and we have the rights to be what we want. Everyone judges everyone, but what does that matter to you? The way people see you isn't going to bring you up. You live for yourself. Your number one priority is yourself. This is especially true for strangers. Why care about how someone you will most likely never meet in real life sees you? They don't determine your legacy. You are the most important person in your life, so take baby steps into owning that. Yes, we make mistakes. Yes, people will judge you. You can't please everyone. We only have so long to live, but you leave your mark on this world every time you take a breath. The world has been here long before you, and will be here long after. Your life as a single individual over the vastness of space and time is quite insignificant to the world. What is significant is subjective and very personal. Meaning, your life is yours and yours alone. Your feelings, emotions and self-worth are significant to only yourself. Life is that journey whose destination have not been told to you but you have to reach there through the path provided to you. As you continue walking this path, you will discover, explore many events, meet many people who will directly or indirectly be directing you towards your goal or the purpose. It’s very hard to navigate this life and really stop and look within. We live in a time where there is constant judgment and scrutiny. The only thing that matters is what matters to us as individuals. We really sometimes ask if we matter in this world but you must firstly understand yourself, secondly accept yourself, thirdly have the confidence to throw it, and lastly with these three you will finally have the power to recognize yourself that you matter the most. Finding out what matters to you because you deserve it.

My Reflection: Student Formation Officer

1. Discipline is definitely the bridge between goals and achievements and why? First and foremost any human being have three powers: mind, feelings, and will. Your mind define the goal. Your feelings put the passion, the energy to achieve it. Your will is the tool to attain the goal. And discipline is just organized will. We can have discipline it's just that people don't know how to definitely use it on themselves. Discipline has many meaning behind it such as it is the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct disobedience. But do we really need to use punishment? We could say that discipline is “to learn” or “to teach” which came from the Latin disciplina. Discipline is just a catalyst between the set of options and priorities which are often the raw materials required to initiate and complete a process or reaction on regular basis. But we know that we have to act in a certain way do certain things which will lead to the accomplishment and that is only possible by that person which we would need to transform ourselves into. Every time we make a decision to do something and don't follow through, we are just weakening our self-control and will power. It's just like a parent constantly bending to a child. The child will know what it can get away with and how to get the parent to always compromise. Whatever goal we have have, it sometimes just refers to someone ahead in life to fulfill them. It's not possible to stay in the same shape mentally, physically, emotionally, and intellectually! When we set a goal we ain't ever anywhere near the achievement of them. In order to do so, set small realistic goals and rules to follow that are very much concrete. Instead of saying, I'm going to start cleaning more often, or even I'm going to start doing the dishes right away, it is much better to say 'I will not go to sleep with dirty dishes in the sink.' The first two goals are vague and that makes it easy to compromise. The third policy is discreet so you cannot simply negotiate out of it with semantics or something like that. We should always prevent procrastination, make progress everyday, and realize that it is the small, daily tasks that get us closer to the goal each day, not the big home runs every once in awhile that will get us where we want to go. Goals may or may not depend based on our current lifestyle and level but definitely the goals that are set are way far ahead than our current lifestyle. There is an entirely different person now and the one you got to forge yourself into to become the person and enter into that state which leads to accomplishment. If you don't, your life will lack that sense of purpose. You won't be able to accomplish much because of your lack of a defined goal. We should treat our goals seriously. Have a plan and carry it out with discipline. Don't just have a big goal to accomplish with a deadline that is far off without daily tasks to get you one step closer to reaching it each day. 2. The process of education is a lot more common than one would think. We normally think of education as formal education at a school or class, but educating is the process of obtaining experience, knowledge, or wisdom. Since the beginning of our mental consciousness, our parents taught us some of the basic fundamentals in life but it's not enough for us to be fully grown up that's why they are sending us to school. It is the foundation of our future since at the early stage of our life, we have the capacity to grasp things easily. Our moral behavior in the future will be based on our experience which we are facing right now. Our character will have the imprints of our teachers, friends and parents and majority of our behavior and character will be the reflection of what we learned. Learning on how to deal with having a job on a basic scale. While children are in school they are learning how to complete task correctly and finish it by a certain time. Even though the work that is done in school might not be used in the future occupation of the student the basic principals are the same. Children are required to finish homework on time and accurately. If students have a problem with an assignment they learn how deal with solving that problem appropriately. Students learn how to work on team project in various classes. There are many occupations that require people to work in team, and schools give children the skills to do this. Occupations also require task to performed efficiently and be completed on a certain time. Not only does school prepare children for their future occupation, but it also prepares them for life in general. In school children are around their peers, so there is a strong chance that they socialize with each other. This teaches children socialization skills, how to deal with arguments, and what type of people that you should and should not socialize with. Even though the school work that you do might not be directly used in your occupation all of these basic principals are important for adults know to being able to function properly in society. That's why it's not about school that we're studying for but all about life and growth. School is just a place that we will learn everything and it will helped us a lot. Learning about new subjects and becoming proficient in a skill that can help a child. A school environment offers students the opportunity to learn to work with others, which is a very important “real world” skill. School is not only important to us as individuals but as well as helps society progress by educating its members who bring their newly acquired information to the workforce. School boosts confidence and teaches us to establish and maintain friendships, and helps us learn how to work together as a team, which is a primary tenet of any successful society. Without school, knowledge would not spread as quickly, and our access to new ideas and people could easily be cut off. A world without school would create difficulties in language learning, and would stall the dispersion of economic growth, tolerance, and the appreciation of our fellow human beings. In a general sense, education is literally the single most useful thing I can think of for humans to have. Giving people access to more information is absolutely the best way to increase their standard of living, in so many different ways. History shows people that they are not the first nor the last, giving them a broader perspective on their own lives. Science gives people a way to explore and understand the world around them. Learning an artistic medium can ignite your creative impulses and give you a satisfying outlet for them. School is to a student what roots are to a plant. In order to have a stable growth, a steady rise and a firm future, one must have good schooling. It is not necessary for success and having a fulfilling life but for most of us it is. Without education of some sort we are unable to grow and develop into our full potential.

The era that we live in today is a very interesting time period and we are blessed with so many opportunities compared before. This 21st century skills help us to develop our ability to adopt to challenges and learn effectively, in which turns results in more competitions, challenges and changes to evolve and learn new skills in order to succeed in this current century. The 21st century skills consist of 12 skills that today’s students should definitely need to learn to be success in their careers. It is divided into 3 which are Learning skills, Literacy skills, and Life skills. Learning skills are critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. While Literacy skills are information, media, and technology. Lastly Life skills are composed of flexibility, leadership, initiative, productivity, and social skills. They are in according to their relevancy, but I think we need the ability to manage complexity so that we could use all of these skills in full potential. We could do so much things if we were just able to do all of these skills. It will be a lot easier to find a job, talk with friends and to be able to expand your networking, having to do the project easily, and so on. This broad set of knowledge, skills and abilities are very much convenient in our current era because the jobs are increasing day by day and the workers should be advanced. Sadly, not everyone is that advanced and comparable for 21st century jobs and living. Many people aren't aware of importance of these skills and still stick to the old traditional skills of route learning or staying within the boundaries of textbooks. Being able to go to the school and study for yourself, exploring and curiosity are also the skills which many students are expected to have. Quick learning, that is, ability to learn new things within limited period of time is required due to constant changes and updates in the adopted methods and ways. Responding to the happening situations dynamically. Ability to solve the situational problems. With arising technology, many jobs are done by computers. The old skills can be done by computers. Hence, the 21st century skills which can be developed by anyone are very important to survive in this era of technology and innovation. However, when these skills are developed as a child, they get to adopt easily to the environment and make a better place than ever. With all these innovations and fast evolving era that are created in the digital world influencing our day to day life, there is no such thing as finished learning. We can learn so much skills and gain knowledge by internet and that’s crazy because there’s no such thing as that before. We have a limitless access to knowledge and it brings us a limitless opportunity. But only those who have the curiosity will have the upper hand to gain all these skills.

1. Having a goal is a good start, but it doesn’t guarantee success. Even if you begin with a clearly-defined goal, and keep it in mind throughout the entire process, you might still fail. Having a goal in mind is perhaps the most important part of any project, and starting with it is completely reasonable, even recommended. However, that does not protect you from things going wrong, interference from other people, and so on. So, the only thing that really happens when you think about the end you wish to achieve is that you are, from that point on, able to get started working to attain the desired end. That’s it, because a goal cannot substitute for ability or perseverance. With a clear understanding of the end you wish to achieve in mind, then through hard work, skill, dedication and diligence you may get there Whether you actually get there depends on the enormity of the task you have set yourself and whether the degree of skill, diligence and effort available to you, or that you are able to bring to bear from others, is, first of all, sufficient and, secondly, whether it is applied.

2. SOFT SKILLS are combination of people skills, social skills, communication skills, character or personality traits, attitudes, career attributes, social intelligence and emotional intelligence quotients, among others, that enable people to navigate their environment, work well with others, perform well, and achieve their goals with complementing hard skills. Desirable qualities for certain forms of employment that do not depend on acquired knowledge. Including common sense, the ability to deal with people, and a positive flexible attitude. With these skills, not only will you attract growth in your professional life, but you will also be able to bring order to your personal life.  These are the skills that define your relationships with other people, or how you approach life and work.

3. I mostly focus on what I see today and how it will affect me in my future.

1. I’m currently focusing on study, I always study every day because I need it for my job. I always make a lot of time for my study and always doing my best to get the best knowledge I can get.

2. I’m planning to get a job this month and I’m willing to work on any occasion, I need skills and job experience so that when the time I graduated it would be a lot easier for me to find a job because of the experience I get when I was still on freshman year.

3. Pandemic is still been going on and it’s really necessary to focus on such thing to protect yourself from the given environment that might cause you to get the virus and it would a lot of hassle and pain if ever I get the virus. It wouldn’t just affect me but my family as well.

4. Maintaining a healthy body is a thing that I always do. Every morning when I wake up, I always do morning workout to get my body in fit and shape then I also do shower two times a day to keep my body clean and sometimes eating vegetable and healthy food to get the energy I need throughout the day.

The registrar mainly focused about edusuite and its content. It has various features that I could use for the sake of my education and online learning. The registrar gave me an account for my edusuite so that I can easily access and open it. On edusuite there are panels that I could use. Which is profile where I can edit my profile and add personal info that registrar should know. Home where I can see the 3 terms about previous, current and next term. I can add subject and subject schedule that are listed. My enrolled subjects are listed there as well. It also contains the payment that I should be paying and payment due where there is a deadline I should pay before the fixed date. My grades I can see all my grades on different subject I am currently enrolled this term. Also, I can see my student ID in case I need it in certain information so that the CIIT could access my account easily. My payments on which it listed all the payment I need to pay for a certain deadline that I need to settle. Lastly, they talked about the payment and how I could pay my tuition and any involving payment I need to settle. In summary it explained about edusuite, payment, Comply with requirements, Online Enlistment, and View Assessment

The medical firstly talked about online consultation if ever a student is not feeling well or want to know something about any illness and remedies. Their current program and goal are to promote health awareness for the students and teachers. Especially in our times of which there is a pandemic that is currently going on, it’s better to be aware at all times. They explained all the different symptoms of covid which are loss of taste, fever, tiredness, loss of smell, and dry cough. The next thing they talked is about precautionary measures on which what you should do to prevent the covid from entering your body and things you should definitely do to not catch the illness that it spread. On the next part they moved about common lifestyle disease on new normal. Most of the people are staying home and they are forgetting to exercise on which can lead to obesity and diabetes. It’s better to break the unhealthy habit and keep maintaining the healthy lifestyle on any occasion even though we are staying home. The clinic used pinggang pinoy on which is the first time I heard about it, it’s like the pyramid of foods. Regular sleep and exercise are a good thing for our body and healthy mindset. Next is they talked about desk exercise, people are online working and learning which means they are on desk of their personal computer, it’s better to exercise even though it’s minimal to help our muscle. They explained about the law of smoking ban and mandatory of drug testing especially for the youth.

Since the day I came here in CIIT, I’ve always wondered why does the school doesn’t have any school portal just like on the previous school I attended. In fact, it was explained that the canvas is already the portal of the school. It has various features that my school don’t have before. The features enhance our teacher’s teaching power and the student's learning experience, saving more time and effort and allowing greater focus You can use the canvas via web browser or by an application that can be downloaded in google store. I just also realized that most of the university use canvas because of its efficiency and easy usage, I thought only the CIIT school utilize it. The canvas is consisting of 6 major panels which are Account where you can see your profile, notifications, portfolio and etc... The second one is Dashboard that hold all the subjects that you are currently enrolled this semester. On the inside of each subject there are various features that the teachers and students can utilize such as announcement that teachers use in case of anything that happen or want to announce, assignment where teachers post any assignment and students can take it, quizzes for any quiz that can teacher post and students can take by the given time, modules where all the recordings and the slide that the teacher use when they are teaching. Calendar where you can see when are the deadline of your assignment and quizzes, also to make some consultation for the teacher. Inbox on which you can send a message to your professors or classmates, so you can have communication to each other. Lastly help in case you don’t know what to do and you don’t understand something that you are seeking for. Also, it is being used when there are bugs or any problem that the students and teachers encounter.

Technology has been a good thing for me. It helps my online education to be accessed easily and learn from any certain distances. Because each student interprets this information differently, technology can enable more research into subjects that are more difficult to learn. I have many accounts that are helping me a lot like yahoo mail, google mail and CIIT gave me one for my student email. It has extra drive. But it seems to be that only certain things I can do. By the use of technology, I can use my google drive for my online storage and also could use my SSD and HDD for my physical hard drive. Also, there is google file stream which is very convenient. Also, I borrowed a PC on CIIT, I don’t think a “borrow” word is a thing that should be used because it’s supposed to be rental. I paid for it and borrow is lending without any payment. It comes with a set of PC and a 2500 monthly. Student dashboard help me a lot access certain things such as canvas, edusuite, library and so on. There are many applications that I have installed in my personal computer. I have programming languages and video games, as well as browsers for personal use. These are just tools and applications that I should have at all times.

CIIT library is one of the places that most student of CIIT should definitely go because of its atmosphere vibe and cool place. Unfortunately, we are on online learning distance and we couldn’t go there yet. But the cool part is that you could still borrow some of their book through online although you need to pick it up for yourself or by a pick-up delivery. The library has many books that you could find manga, novels, programming, and so on. There is a policy if ever you’ll borrow their book is that you could get borrow 5 books for 3 weeks and each book of usage is 5 pesos per day. The library also has eNewspaper and board games. After all of that I said the guest speaker talked about on how you can borrow the book and taught the part of how to do that. Also, what are the books they have and how it will pique the interest of each student of CIIT.
