Day 1 –
Monday
Having spent
the night on campus before a big test is an experience that I thought I’d never
go through. Marketing Research has managed to make me do the unimaginable. The
experience has taught me a lot in terms of time management and spending too
much time in the 1st quadrant. Time management has proven to be a
big issue during the course of this program. As much as I would look back to
this event, as learning curve in terms of time management, other things I
appreciated is the acknowledgement of the of amount of discipline and
dedication required in order to be successful. This is something that most of
us take for granted but one needs to accept it within themselves that this is
an issue to be given due care. Doing the things that fit on with your long term
vision should be at the forefront of your everyday endeavour. Life these days
comes with many distractions and we are easily tempted to sit back and tell
ourselves that as a person we need a break to release tension but at what expense
are this all at?
Leading a
productive life need not be tedious, focusing on activities that have value in
our lives, and being an item that has value to your life you would derive some
sense of satisfaction on accomplishing it, sense of satisfaction would lead to
self-belief and confidence. In this way doing something you value, you not only
get a sense of satisfaction but become a better person as well. Food for
thought….
With that
said I’d like to think back to the cake sale exercise which was held last week
and elaborate further and specific issues I picked up. The day started of
pretty early, 4 am morning is considered the best time to be scouting for
worms. This proved to be the case on the day, having a head start on the day
our team was able to prepare and set up for the day ahead and this is one of
the factors we got right as compared to cake sale 1. We were pretty much
disorganised from the beginning of the day. And I’d like to take this time to
express my gratitude to the amount of team effort which was evident on the day.
I really came to appreciate my team members and realised the potential we have
not to only succeed in the course but to rather do well.
With that
said I’d like to be put up a challenge that every project going further be better
than the last one.
