Assignment 14- Halfway Reflection: Paying it Forward

1. Tenaciousness is a competency:
- Unfortunately, I have missed three assignments thus far. There are personal reasons behind why I missed them, so I will disregard those for this post. As for everything else, having a tenacious attitude is obviously essential to getting your work done. Once you have this attitude towards it, it allows you to be punctual, efficient with your time spent on the work, and allows you to truly express yourself through the assignment. I would say those are the three behaviors I've used so far as we're now halfway through the semester.

2. Tenaciousness is also about attitude:
- The personal issues I alluded to above contributed to me having feelings of giving up. However, I know that I'm not a quitter and will persevere through anything despite and "outside noise." That thematic mindset that I've had my whole life is what pulled me through. A combination of a tougher course-load overall and reconciling with issues outside of school has without a doubt further developed my tenacity over the past couple months. I'm excited to see how I can implement this attitude towards things in other areas of my life.

3. Three tips:
1. Try your hardest to not wait until Friday to do the assignments
-Although I may sound hypocritical, I'm only saying this out of experience. It's much easier to get things done in advance as you're not as stressed due to not being as pressed for time. Also, you will be able to fit more things into your schedule later in the week. If you implement this from the start, your tenacity will naturally increase as you will get into the habit of attacking things early.
2. Be authentic in each post
-You're only cheating yourself if you aren't representing who you are in each post. You won't grow in terms of thinking like an entrepreneur, and it's only going to make you're tenacity decrease as you'll begin to care less and less with each assignment.
3. Watch the lectures
I'll be honest, this is something I'm guilty of not doing a lot. Trust me, I've paid the price for it too. It's only decreased my ability to develop true tenacity. Not only will you understand the course on a much deeper sense if you do keep up with all of them, you're tenacity will increase exponentially as well since you'll start to develop the habit I talked about earlier. To me, tenacity is just the result of forming productive habits that force you to think. That's it. If you can master that, you're golden.
