Nerve-racking Week, Too Many Things to Do

This week’s events will provide head stinging schedules. Oh my, it was our fault why it resulted to this situation.

We had a project that supposedly be submitted last Thursday, my group mates and me are all aware of it but we did nothing but worry, worry and worry. Why do we stress ourselves from worrying if we could do it since we have available time? Is it because we are all fan of cramming or we just let things flow and in the end be resentful that we were not able to do it?

Making a system in a certain company is not a shaggy dog story. It requires deep analysis, hard work, time, patience, and most importantly expect that you will be yawning in times where you do not know what to do. Right now, I am troubled because we are planning to accomplish it with less time and we do not know if our instructor will do some corrections to it and we do not carry out our revisions in the least time just like what we did before.

One more thing, the upcoming festival of our college bothers me since I have my own responsibilities as the mayor of the class. I have to meet the other mayors to settle the events and also my responsibilities in YFC. I have a lot of things in mind and I do not know what responsibility to accomplish first. Well, I am certain that I will do my responsibility in YFC because I love my service, but what about my other responsibilities. Does this mean that I will have sleepless nights again? Oh boy, if that is considered true then I will not fully enjoy the festival! [Nnnnnnooooooooo!!!!!]

What to do now? I have a lot in mind and I could use some help. [LOL] However, I believe that everything happens for a reason, and by the end of the day, everything will be worthwhile. I will lay everything now to our Mighty Creator and Savior. This will be very stressful week and I pray that everything will fall in its rightful places and our work will amaze our instructor. May God help us.

Self Assessment...Can I Really Do This?

Why do we take the AQ, IQ, and EQ tests?

This question has bothered me during the class and made me think of the best answer to raise my hand in order for me to participate.

Why did I take those tests? Is it merely just for obligations sake or because of curiosity bearing the intention of knowing my quotients? The truth is I took those tests because of both reasons mentioned. Those tests will be of assistance for us to identify our weaknesses and our strengths so that we can make room for improvements. Our subject is Technopreneurship and obviously, it is identifying ourselves deeply for us to be able to generate business ideas.

During the class, we also took the test called Internal Analysis with the questions what are the things that we best at, what are the things that we love, and what are the things that irritate us. I realize just right now that self-mastery is very difficult especially if you do it out of obligations sake, the subject is evidently a good help for us to become successful sooner or later. It is true that it is better to become an employer than to become an employee, it is a challenge that I am willing to take however ever since I do not have the passion for business. Business is somehow for people who have savings in their banks and are willing to invest it for profit; all I have is the willingness and the question is how can I start a business out of nothing? Other than that, my mind setting is that I do not have that savings and bank account to start a business. And aside from that, knowledge about the business is of utmost importance and a lot more to consider.

I have good results in those tests (I guess) and I fall in the block of “somehow technopreneur” but I never have the ideas. I think I should ask other people about the things they consider I am good at so that I can identify myself more.

How to generate business ideas?

That is the next question since I presume that I have already given the answer to the first question. Now how can I generate the ideas needed for business? How can I generate an effectively structured plan for the business? And how can I generate funds? This is very difficult. I am aware that I am pessimistic about my capabilities and I am actually insulting myself for thinking that I cannot make it.

I had the flashback of how Steve Jobs became successful; he was a risk taker and also never had the idea how to start a business of his own. All was just seemingly pieces and eventually it made him a historical person in the field of the Silicon Valley. Maybe for now, (like what I always say) I have to trust in myself (however persistently pessimistic) that in the later days I can generate my ideas. I don’t have to rush on things, like what Sir Japh said “just chill, no stress” (I presume I have to buy a stress ball…joke!) and learn to utilize whatever things I find effective in me.
