What I Learned"We learn more by searching for the answer to a question and not finding it than by learning the answer itself." People spend their entire lives trying to figure out who they are, searching for a sense of purpose or belonging, or trying to discover the right path for themselves. The lucky ones somehow found what they were looking for during their journey. They try to teach people who are still searching how to find their own path, but they often fail because it is not up to them where or how anyone else should live their life. It is up to the individual himself to find fulfillment. I know I am one of many individuals traveling blindly through life wondering what my destination is. It wasn't until you were asked in this assignment, what did you learn about yourself, did I put the brakes on life and stop to think, what did I learn about myself? I always traveled at full speed on a smooth but slightly rocky road, never looking at life through the rearview mirror. I realize that I have gone through school, relationships, work, and life without knowing or having any idea where I'm going or what I'm doing. I start to panic and look for SMART goals in the glove compartment but find it empty because I haven't made any recent ones. For the first time in my life I feel lost. One strength I learned in the Myers-Briggs assessment is that I am an innovative thinker and an excellent problem solver. I find this to be between... middle of paper... something, but until I start the activity I really understand. Knowing this information is valuable to me because now that I know my style and different learning styles, I can be a much more effective communicator and manager teaching subordinates in their learning style. Back on the road of life, I now have a better understanding of where I'm going. With my strengths I have to use them effectively to overcome my weaknesses. Instead of setting goals, I need to create SMART ones. And instead of worrying too much about where the destination is, realize that it's not the destination but the journey. “Make learning a lifestyle rather than a phase of life.”
