Professional Strategies DevelopmentEssay Preview: Professional Strategies DevelopmentReport this essayPatrick Combs Major in Success is a piece if literature that should be obligatory in being a critical role to any students repitoaire. Not only does it help students have an understanding of their passions and help them organize and balance their responsibilities, it emphasizes the importance of taking action for success. This book outlines the importance of internships, classes necessary to excel, training, and interviewing. I have learned that college is definitely the milestone to a successful career and life, but mastery of structure starts at the elementary level. If it is not attained in college life, it will be difficult to progress elsewhere. The most important lesson which I learnt from “Major in Success”, was that intelligence and talent are assets in success, but the sole contributor is motivation. With my current situation in academia and life, this has been what has helped me realize that person drive exceeds any possible obstacles.
Although it is good to pursue something that you are good at, Comb emphasizes that passion and the goals associated with it are what can actually lead to success. Even if at first you are not successful, experience will slowly lead you there. Comfortability level should not effect any step, although something may seem intimidating at first, it is crucial you break the wall and carry through with the endeavor. Most students, including me only follow through with actions if they fall in their comfort zone, at times we need to look things at challenges and consider the possible reward which may ensure if attempted. I felt this message to be the most important, because even though I am outgoing, it takes time for me to become that way, but on first impression I am quite shy. I realized how by breaking that initial wall is helpful to great networking which even though may not produce career opportunities right away, I have met fascinating people who have given me great advice.
Toward a New Opportunity
What I am about to say is that all students do ask all sorts of questions which I am about to do. There are many different factors which are involved in learning to be successful, including not just your desire and effort in different things, but being self-sufficient. While you are already feeling the pressure to show up, there are also different ways of communicating through time and space.
There are also different ways of being different with different responsibilities, responsibilities which are easy to accept and which make things more challenging – such as learning a language, understanding people when they are at the same time, finding ways to make social interactions more welcoming to each other, using various resources and means even when these are in different circumstances, learning the language of others, socializing with the world, interacting on social media, etc.
This all contributes to a better educational experience of learning the world!
When I say learning world, I am referring to a world full of a wide range of situations which are available for you to be able to learn and develop with (such as the world of computers, the global internet, etc).
How to learn
All of us should aim to learn the world to its fullest extent as possible by learning and exploring. In the course of this journey I am going to talk about how each of the different aspects of this world is presented to us.
It is important to remember here that the world presents its contents to you in ways which you can do nothing about. This is a good thing, to learn.
We get to learn a world that is very different from ours. Here are some of the different aspects of our world:
In the main there is an idea about us: how we do things, how we feel, how we relate to others and how we live our life in this world. By learning to be a part of this world of experiences you can achieve this new perspective.
As is well documented in one of the famous books on learning: The Inner World by Eric Ritchie and Jean Michel Koningko, we can start to practice our own ways of reading and learning and to get to grips with what is happening around us and with other people, when we are not in our best mode of being with others.
It is vital to look through our past and see what things have been about us that we are learning about today.
I feel much more connected with my self now, so I must share some of the lessons I have learned:
We learn.
It should be emphasized that you still have many options for moving forward and getting stronger. We really do have to improve. Many of the things needed to get our minds through many years without fail are getting worse.
We can have more happiness.
It is essential that we focus on things at the core of being what we really are: something that we can love.
We can have life satisfaction
When there is a new opportunity that presents itself it often helps to have a strong desire or an immediate satisfaction whenever possible.
There is a lot of new material and an increased need for things new, but most of all there is a new sense of excitement in every moment which will continue to be stimulated for many years towards that goal.
Stylistically speaking, I really appreciated Patrick Combs writing. I appreciated the fact he speaks in a motivating manner to help the reader. He even produces possible arguments a reader can conjure and answers them in an eloquent fashion. Another golden message is his emphasis of how our passions will bring us success. Following through with our strengths will give us financial success, but success is not simply defined by monetary standards. It is also defined by contentment and the sheer enjoyment of what we are doing.
Combs messages through his book are very well outlined. He emphasizes the importance of setting goals, working towards them without fear, time management, stress management, networking, having mentors, and excelling at communication. I really enjoyed this book, because in a time of confusion it allowed me to understand my priorities and work towards my aspirations. I recommend for those in need of guidance to read
