IDOL THAT MOTIVATES ME




      For my idol, i choose local successful bussinesswoman, Dato Seri Vida. I idol her because of her braveness and hardworking spirit. Eventhough she once loss two beloved children when she was working as a teacher few years ago, but yet she still managed to handle her sadness and be very successful at her medium age like now. She failed in her marriage two times, but still can stands on her own feet to chase her dreams by herself.


     She is a very indipendent woman which is she do everything by herself not depending to somebody else, she can go around making money by herself. Plus, i love the way she changed her life by keep going with her passion.

   
      She stopped teaching and proceed her bussiness from bottom untill she achieved her goals. Even though she gets a lot of condemnations from many citizens, she never stops doing what she loved to do. I wish to be hardworking and high spirited like her someday.

               FIXED COMMITMENT CALENDAR

            


Being a student is not an easy thing since we have to manage everything by ourself, no more spoon feeding from any teachers. So we always need to plan a good time management to make sure we can do our works completely, without missed anything. 


To have a good time management, we can create a fixed commitment calendar and follow the calendar. Example of my fixed commitment calendar is like this ;




THIS IS MY FIXED COMMITMENT CALENDAR





The calendar should be planned very well so our schedule not crashed or make us rushing. By using this calendar, we also can arrange our free time to go hang out or joining any activities that we like to do at the same time we are not ignoring our studies and assignments.

LEARNING STYLE INVENTORY 




When get into university life, we have to re-indetify our learning style by doing learning style inventory so we can get to know our strength because in university we have to be very indipendent if we dont want to get left behind.  Learning style inventories are designed long time ago to help respondents determine their strength in what learning style.


In this inventories, respondents will have to answer some random question with 'yes' or 'no' in a form. Respondents need to answer the questions based on their preferences. Learning style inventories are based on the idea that people have different strengths and preferences when it comes to learning


There are 3 preferred learning style which is auditory, visual & kinesthetic.




By answering all the questions, students will get to know their suitable learning style. I also have done this inventories in my class and i got visual learning style as my highest marks. So i basically knew that i am a visual learner. I am more to study from what i am seeing.


Here it is my inventories;

                                    Focus


In learning, you need to fully concentrate in class so that you will not missed any information given by the lecturer. If you give high concentration when you are in class, you will get all the important points like how to do your assignments, the assignment's dateline, exams etc. There are some reasons that caused student to have trouble in focusing on their studies, which is..


                                        πŸ’œ Physical factors(always tired, dehydration etc)
                                              πŸ’œ External distractions (phone, members, tv, family etc)
                                        πŸ’œ Internal distractions (thoughts, worries etc)
                                              πŸ’œ Difficult or confusing task
                                         πŸ’œ Low self motivations
                                               πŸ’œ Low urgency



Because of that, we have to plan a concentration strategies before we starts to study. There are few concentration strategies we can practise for in study. The strategies is ;

Image result for concentration strategies for students


           βž½ Refresh our body & brain - starts working when you naturally have more energy. If you usually feel tired at the evening, you can try to start doing your work at the afternoon like after finished your class, take a nap for seconds then continue doing your task.
         
           βž½ Set aside external distractions - set your electronic devices into silent mode or turn off the internet access that will distract you from doing your task. If your distractions is people surround you, you can go to somewhere that unfamiliar with you like to a quiet place such as library, coffee shop etc.

            ➽ Minimize internal distractions - take a deep breath and remove all your negative thoughts that playing in your mind before you start doing your task. Put all your problems aside first, and think about it after you finished your task. 

            ➽ Make it easy to get started - shrink the task down to something simple that can build your confident to complete your task completely. For example, start to focus on your work for just 5 minutes or to write one sentences & then give yourself a break. Then continue again.

             βž½ Increase self motivation - think about the benefits you get if you finished your task on time. Make a reward for yourself after you are done with your work such as go hang out to somewhere & do some fun activities that can release your tension.

             βž½ Increase time pressure - reduce the total amount that you have to finish your task. As example, do your task before you start to watch any tv shows at certain time or try to do at least half from your task before youre going out. Make our own dateline to finish the task given, so that we will not suspend our task untill the real dateline.

                                         READING TEXT



 No matter where we go, we must know that reading is the main resources to get knowledge about anything that we wanted to know. In order to be a successful student with many knowledge in our head, we have to practise reading. It can be fiction or non fiction. Any types of book can be as our sources of knowledge if we use it well.

                 
                         There are many benefits from reading, examples;
                                                             
                                 βž€  know about current issues
                                     βž€  know facts
                                  ➀  learn positive attribute
                                      ➀  get additional knowledge in studies
                                  ➀ strengthens memory
                                      ➀ helps to understand something well
                                   βž€ improves our vocabulary
                               

 

In learning, after read a textbook or any knowledge sources, do some summary based on what we understand from our reading. I mean, write up the points that we get from the book into a short term so we can re-read the text easily and understand the points. It is an effective way to identify how far we understand what we've read & making it easier for us to make revisions.

        ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGIES


Image result for organizational strategy






Organizational strategy is a dynamic long term plan that maps the route towards the realization of a company's goal and vision.


➀STRATEGY IS A DYNAMIC
➀STRATEGY IS A LONG TERM PLAN
➀STRATEGY IS A ROAD MAP


In practice, organizational strategy begins with the big picture you want to achieve and then breaks that down into various sets of activities. All of these will have a contribution to make, so they are all part of the organizational strategy.
Once you have determined your strategy and what must be done to make your goals a reality, you will need to follow up. Each task must synch with the plan – and if it can’t, the plan itself may need revision.
