Silly Me...
For some reason I had thought that this week was going to be a super easy, laid back week. Wow! I was extremely wrong about that and it put me in a funky mood. Well, I should say it put me in a funky mood for about a day and a half. I have since had an attitude adjustment and I’m feeling good about the rest of the week.
I am going to take this new adjusted attitude of mine and do some serious planning. Midterms are next week and although I had an outstanding time at the GHRA Halloween night, I have already informed many of my classmates that I will not be doing anything except studying this weekend.
So, back to the bad mood that I mentioned, part of the reason I was feeling so down is because I can be a bit of a goofball. Now, you may be asking what in the world being a goofball has to do with being in a bad mood. Well, I will explain. I had this epiphany that it is possible that people don’t view me as an intelligent person because I am so silly a good part of the time. This epiphany was stressing me out a lot. I was literally trying to think of strategies of how to change my personality. This task seemed extremely unrealistic, but being the determined person that I am, I thought surely I could come up with a way. Luckily someone reminded me of some great advice that Dean Poon gave to our class at our orientation. She said one of the best ways to reach success is to, “be yourself.”
Ah, Yes! Those are the words that I so needed to be reminded of. Teams and workplaces thrive on diversity and I just needed to be reminded that my silly, upbeat demeanor can bring something valuable to a team or organization. So, thank you to the classmate who reminded me of Dean Poon’s words and I will go forth and be myself!
