what did you do, feel, think during the workshop?  

During the workshop, I know what is time management by listening and discussing. Before the class I always felt that it is not a terrible thing if I knew nothing about manage time, even though every time I saw the negative example from mine, which would be wasted so much time and feel tangled. At the beginning, I felt learning how to manage time is one kind of waste of time, because setting a time period or target date for each goal, which is ridiculous for me and I cannot deal with things in a flexible way and basically making a schedule does not work for me at all, but by listening and testing, after that I knew most human characteristics can be distilled to five wide dimensions of personality: extraversion, friendliness, carefulness, emotional stability and intellectual autonomy. Further more, through the teacher's explanation and introduction, I understood why we should learn to manage the time and the importance of it. In addition, I knew how to manage time by discussing with classmates. Finally, I felt that time management is very important and different people have different ways to manage time, otherwise, my schedule will be not reasonable enough.

What insights did you gain about yourself from the workshop?

From the workshop, I knew that I know more about myself in terms of personality, my strengths and weaknesses and my abilities. From the workshop, I know my character is introversion, so normally I am closed, reserved even individualistic. So when I get problems I will not ask others for help. As a introverted person, my independent thinking ability is relatively strong as I like to be alone, so basically I can do a lots of things independently. And I am a people with considerable insight. Further more I am a careless people, which means I do not have any motivation at all and my behaviour is lax, so I am not careful or strict about maintaining high standards. I am also a sensitive people, I feel nervous when somethings happen unexpectedly. However anxious people likes me tend to take more precautions, such as if I have a test tomorrow or a interview tomorrow, I will be anxious all day , so at night I will work hard, check again and again. So I will make a fewer mistakes than the people who have stable emotion, but it do waste time as doing a lot of things which is not necessary.

What will you do differently in the coming period?

From the workshop I know I must establish the personal values, if values is not clear, then it's very difficult for me to know what's the most important, when my value is not clear, time management must be bad. The point of time management is not only set a schedule, but also how to allocate time based on different personality. And I never have time to do everything, but I have time to do what's most important to me. So when I am not sure what should I do in the next, or I fail to do all things in time, I will ask for advice or ask for help instead of doing alone. Secondly, planning means thinking carefully, especially if I want to consider whether the plan is enforceable. I need to be careful about myself and see what I am going to do. And I don't need to deny the current state of life completely, but should be improve step by step. What I have to do is not too early to say, "I can't do it.", but try to do, because I'm a negative person, so this process may be painful and very hard for me. Finally, focus on something a little more and try to relax. For me, it is very hard to focus on one thing at a time, I will immediately do some other things when something happens even though it is not very important. In a very long period of time, I felt my life was destroyed and feel anxiety, so working time is very important. So giving up all excuses and try to do anythings without delay. If a task assigned, I should also set a time limit. It's really very practical, I will become more efficiency.

At the beginning, I thought I was a people without any great ambitions and motivation. During the workshop, I knew that what do I want, what suits me and what is my motives. More specifically, by listening, I knew what is motivation, and why the motivation is important. Further more, by testing I knew something about the work value, such as why I like and are motivated by particular work, also career anchors, for instance, whether I am interested in individual freedom or prefer to have power and status. What sort of company suits me best? This is one of the most important questions for the career.

What insights did you gain about yourself from the workshop?

From the workshop, I knew that not only do I know motivation, attitude, preferences and values, but also what sort of company suits me best. More specifically, after having the workshop, I knew I do care about the freedom and independence. Which means in the work I hope everything can be as flexible as possible, and I do not want there are too many constraints in my work, I can take full control of the time and action by my own, I do not want to work with too many people, I prefer doing everything alone. When I attained my own destiny, for example, doing a thing independently. Then there is fulfillment, which motivates me, and I can be more focus on my own things. In addition, I did not systematically looking at what drives me before, and I wish the work is relatively stable if possible, than I do not have to worry about the dismissal at all, and often waste time for looking for a new job. So as a result, I do not know what I really want. But now I know what I have done is try to avoiding contacting with people and prefer to live in a comfortable environment,  and I do not want to engage in any challenging work. So what I am interested is neither power or status, it is in individual freedom actually. Finally, I understand that what sort of company suits me best, I am a quiet person who has no ambition, which is suitable for some relatively stable occupation such as engineers, teachers, accounting, cashier, which has not too many changing and challenging. This kind of person likes me are really calm. I always work carefully and I can detect tiny details which is not observed by others. Maybe it seems I am cold and silence, so the disadvantage is not love social, and always miss the chance. For me, I like the works that have repeat, or can deal with things without communication.

 

What will you do differently in the coming period?

In the coming period, firstly I want to become more positive, If the attitude is always negative, then I will not have a sense of achievement, especially when I cannot finish it on time, then I am more likely to be disappointed.The colleagues and leaders will not appreciate when I am passive With a passive attitude in work, is very difficult to get the sense of achievement. Work need passion, requires proactive and innovative spirit. Only in this way, we can get work given the more rewarding. Secondly, finding something I am really interested in. For example, the purpose for study or work is not for the diploma, high scores, further studies, promotion, reward, but desire for knowledge, curiosity, interest, hobby and so on. If I do not to try, how do I know whether I like it or not? So in the next I need to try a different career, in order to know do I love it or not, do not deny until I try and get benefit from it. Last but not least, finding somethings which suit me best. In looking for a job and studying process, there are a lot of things is also very worthy. Find the shortcomings and correct them. Develop the strengths and redouble the efforts. Everyone is a talent, believe in myself, be positive, and to be more patient than before as finding something suits me is very hard. Don't feel that I am useless,I can not find a good job sooner or later, so be patient.
