The ABCS of DISC

The leadership/diagnostic test that we conducted in class was somewhat accurate. It did describe myself pretty well. The test showed that I was an "I" representing influence. The emphasis is on shaping the environment by influencing or persuading others which I beleive is pretty accurate description for me. I like generating enthusiasm, entertaining people, and keeping people awake. I do wish I was more of a "C", conscientiousness, working conscientiously within existing circumstances to ensure quality and accuracy. I lack concentration and paying attention to detail. I do feel it is helpful to know a person's management "type" to better understand where they are ocming from and what kind of person they are. It helps to know how the person usually acts and what he or she likes and dislikes. I think a test like this can help for personal interactions such as dating because you can find people with similar management types as youself and that will have you sharing a lot of things in common. I think it increases the chance the indivuals get along and become more serious.

The Power of Vision

My first goal is to get a permament job in a top financial company. This will be the turning point of my life and will get msyself settled. From there on, I can look concentrate on other things in life. The actions that I am taking to make this vision a reality is studying very hard and maintaining a high GPA.

I also attend many of the events at baruch that have guest speakers who have become successful and talk about their journey.
My second goal is to buy a large house for my family and myself. I want my parents to relax as they have worked too hard. The actions that I am taking to make this vision a reality is working and saving money. I am also getting started in stocks which I hope to be successful in to make more money towards the house. This goal does correlate with the first one, as I get the job I hope to get, it will become easier to buy a house.
Another goal of mine is to travel to as many places as possible. I want to travel to many countries in Europe and Asia.
