week 6 Movement is consistent in global context.

Before finding any career I need to ask my self do I have any abilities that fit my future career, which I always think that I do not have any skill. Now, let focus on what the employer want from employees before hiring them.

10 things employers want from a new hire
communication skills
hornest
team work skills
interpersonal skills
motivation and motivative
strong work ethic
analytical skill
flexibility and ...
computer skills
self confident

from the list I feel that I have less than half, mean I need to improve some skills before applying job and improve during working. for example, I lack of communication skill I am thinking to join in a toast master club. A volunteer for my interpersonal skills. And go out in community, social event, club, to make a social network.     
In order to be effective and improve my personality, I need to get the grade system out go my head!!!!!!!!
1. set personal goals: new clients, sale among,  {evaluate the outcome}
2. open to feedback: coworker(/), family(?), friends(?), boss(/), profs(x), customers(/), employee(/)  
bias(?) valuable(/) useless(x)
3. self evaluation: goal, value, happiness, current?,  survey, reflection,

These kind of thing will evaluate my skill in school, work place, and normal life base on my performance and people opinion to improve my self awareness.

Week 5 Global Context, Dimensions of Truth

Dimensions of Truth: History & Culture

Normally people will often look or think about something in the same ways. We will use our past experiences put into the object. Sometime it causes a losing in alternative solving problem. I usually have this "conceptual block" that limited my self in one way thinking. Therefore, to practice thinking out off the box, or generate more alternative outcome I can improve by (to be observe, think differently, and get better)

1. mediation focus & attention
i will be able to look at myself in deep, see what can i react differently if it happened again.
2. systematic - look for logic be hide things
set up a step, follow the step and generate more outcome.
3. visualize things
not only see thing as it is but think creatively, the shape, colour, texture can refer to something meaningful.
4. assume there is another perspective - it musts be at least other aspect
ask myself if other people face the same problem how can they do, could they change the result?
5. build your self awareness
the main key for any job for any person, it is a personal ability that handle with unexpected situation, how they think, and how they live. High self awareness will help person solve problems more effectively and efficiency.
6. ask the right questions
with out right question being ask, I cannot find the right answer for the problem. thus, to find out the right answer i will need the right question due to time, person, and place.
7. Theater game - act yourself as other characters
Another tools to practice the changing of thought, ways of thinking, and handling a situation.
8. get to know other culture - club, temple, ... : you will meet people with different thinking from you.
9. break habits - if you feel comfortable, you will close any new things that come to us. even though, safeness. ( which it narrows the perspective, thinking ) we need to make it bigger that open new informations to stay. Therefore, we need to live not safe, not comfortable, and challenge risk.    
"Curiosity" will keep us learning. "Hope for the future," "Better life."
10.travel
11. put yourself in their situation

Therefor, a small step that begin will make a big jump in the future. We know we can do it, thus, we can do it after all. ( it need to happen consciously, already know what gonna change. ) Therefore, ask question for every things.    

With all those steps will encourage me to break my habit, cross my sensitive line, able to  handle unexpected situation, and improve my personality. Making connection or social networking I believe it is a strong bridge for meeting different ideas.

Not only those method that I can learn alternative idea, I also can learn from the past, the history and culture of one place, person, country to come up with the creative answer.

Historical - - Culture - - Business

like doing business in other countries, China, Thailand, Canada, and so on. I need to understand the history, the ethical, the cultural of the country and people in certain area before doing any thing else.
Because people all way willing to accept in different things; they have different religions, languages, regulation systems, demography, and geography. Therefore, to understand these aspects before starting business is a must thing to do.
