...Thiel had frequently told them that if there were problems in the group, the members should make an effort to deal with them first. If the problems could not be resolved, she had said that they should come to her. Mike seemed so distant, despite the apparent camaraderie of the first meeting, but he only has one week now to complete something. If he were able to come up with something the whole group could agree has enough merit to justify including, then fine however, if the group feels that too much time has passed and that Mike had plenty of time but did not display any concern or commitment, then he’s officially “under the bus”. I have identified some primary and secondary problems the group is currently facing at this point of the process. For one the group seems to be just cruising along without the contribution of Mike and doing just fine. Mike has a commitment to this group and it’s for a grade which means Christine should have been reminding him of that during the time when he was blowing them off. I understand what...

...1. Complex question but simple understanding. My daughter has a way of coming up with awkward question and at times you are baffled with their unexpected questions. One such thing happens to me sometimes back. The T.V was on but I wasn’t really watching, my mind was plastered on the meeting that I was going to be held tomorrow, but my daughter’s curiosity had the better of me. It was 19:30 and during the news report it was inevitable that the PM had to be mentioned. My daughter precipitously looked at me with a puzzle face and asked “Dad, what is a Prime Minister.” It took me sometimes before I could response; my daughter was only nine years old. I tried to explain that a Prime Minister is a leader of a group of individuals who takes decision for all people in a country and ensure people live in peace, harmony and gets all the need we require. My daughter looked at me and said “So you are the Prime Minister” Great thinking. Yes as a matter of fact I am the Prime Minister of my house; I ensure peace, harmony and get all the needs for my family. From there on it was much easier to carry on the explanation. I am the Prime Minster of my house and there is another Prime Minster of the country in which there are many, many houses. Simple understanding for a complex question. Progressively when we grow up we are surrounded with sophisticated and contemporary thinking. With the passage of time unknowingly we lose our creativity and simplicity. In our complicated...

...In Social Time: The Heartbeat of Culture by Robert Levine with Ellen Wolff, author talked about different time senses in different countries and he shared his personal experience of different time senses in the article. After reading this article , one sentence got all my attention： “ Speed is frequently confused with progress”( page81,line3). For me, my parents and grandparents always warn me that time waits for no man, so I should finish things I need to do as soon as possible. Sometimes I can get really confused that do I really have to be that hurry? Can I slow myself down to finish something? So, when I saw this sentence, I really want to know if speed is progress. However, a question is not always wind up with a right answer or a wrong answer. We all know that time flies. As an old saying goes, “Time flies like an arrow , and time lost never returns.” Our life time is limited, but things we can experience in the world is unlimited. Faster we are, more meaningful things we can try. So, In many people’s opinion, speed definitely is progress. In the article, author shared his experience teaching in a Brazil college. Student there go to class around half an hour late and leave the class around half an hour late too, which means they are being late to do next thing for one hour or more. Nowadays, our life is so wonderful but very challenging at the same time. As a college student in the US, if i dont finish my work on time, I am not gonna get good grades. And if I am procrastinated...

...The Issue With Technology This course has affected me to think differently about technology. It has showed me that many times, we rely on technology too much. Dependence on technology erodes community. Online and offline, when it comes to computers, phones and other such devices, you have created the potential for major distraction and danger. Distraction in the sense that one can spend too much time or too much energy trying to better yourself (often against others) through the technology you have. If you are focusing on how to help others, not on how many more gigabytes you can download with a certain machine, you can be a society that prides practical support for each, over personal security in any virtual world. Danger in the sense that not everything you can encounter through technology is going to be of use to your well-being and/or, by extension, others. Take any of the pornography, alcohol or drug industries. Previously these had a much more limited influence. Now you can access them simply through a click. Community requires effort, and if you want your society to improve itself, it should have to put in an effort to help one another. Using these tools together, and not letting yourselves get sidetracked by their other purposes help you to be independent. You also want to stop society abusing itself because it can. Technological devices can be useful, but from a spiritual perspective, one has to take care of how they are used for everyone to benefit. We are getting...

...In February of 2012, as I was reviewing the information about the Darden’s GEMBA program, specifically the locations of the global residencies, it was hard for me to be excited about going to China. It would be my sixth time visiting the country. At the time, I was hoping for a more unique location, somewhere where I had not been, yet somewhere where, from a business perspective it would be a valid place to go. How about Japan or South Korea, I pondered. But no, it was China, a place that I explored on multiple occasions, and a place I learned to like. To make things worse, the destinations cities where the most obvious: Shanghai and Beijing. What else is out there, that I have not seen and what else I can learn from visiting it again? My fears were intensified by the assumption that the Darden residency will be sterile, that the group will be sheltered and will travel in a bubble, not being exposed to the true spirit of the country. “Well, I thought, at least we will go to Rio. In May 2012, while visiting Shanghai for the Solar Expo tradeshow I was invited to meet with the GEMBA 12 and the Darden community while the cohort was at their China residency. I was to attend an operations class with Professor Elliott Weiss, meet the students, faculty on staff. Oh, and there was free food involved; I was in! To be honest, the class session was pretty intimidating yet impressive. It was all about some Newsvendor model- a case study where a Charlottesville entrepreneur was selling crazy...

However, I believe it is very important for parents to make sure what kind of websites are their children accessing on the internet and be able to answer what their children ask them about the internet to give the support that their children need to be safe and get the most out of their technology. Maggie Atkinson, the children commissioner for England, explains how new technology could leave children lonely and have a negative impact on their lives .She also describes when students stay for after hour school by using new technology and video games, they could alienated. These days children are claiming "too many" because they spend most of their time using different kinds of technology like internet, phone, and video games and know everything found on them. As we all know children like to practice everything that they see and hear. The more they use any kind of technology the more they become the victims of technology, especially the Internet....

...Currently in my life the problem that I struggle the most with is to become more efficient. I have tried devices (such as cell phones with calendars that synch to my computer) and examined what things have worked well in the past for me to use on a daily basis so I can be efficient. I own my own business, I'm a full time student, I'm in a relationship, and have normal maintenance of having a home. When combined I find myself some days wishing I had more time in the day to be able to achieve or complete all the tasks or assignments I have for myself in a given day. When I was asked what the problem in my life is I immediately knew what the one thing I wish I could change would be, and this assignment will actually help me because this way I will be able to do research in order to find out how to be more efficient, while completing an assignment for school at the same time. Ironically this is a good start to becoming more efficient. In my research to become more efficient I have used two different sources to examine and compare strategies to improve my weakness. The articles I chose relate directly to me, they are both experts on this topic, use factual information, and also provide steps and suggestions in order to achieve my ultimate goal. It's important when doing research that you use information that is factual and if possible from a professional or an expert on the subject or topic. The first article I used as a resource is "Become More Efficient: Learn to Say No"...

...was one of six vice-presidents, he needed to maintain and build a positive image to his colleges and subordinates. Therefore, he might demand himself to do better. Secondly, it is the low task control stressors. It means the jobs required high responsibilities. Phil had many important responsibilities. He might need to have some important meetings. Or he might need to decide a long term strategy and goals within the company. Besides, he wanted to be promoted but the competition was quite keen. Finally, it is the work family conflicts. As Phil used too much time on work so he might ignore the communication in the family. He had insufficient time to satisfy his non-work roles of being a father. For example, he had nothing to say with his daughter. He may feel stress for that. Q2 What are the consequences of the above stressors to Phil’s professional (work) and personal life? Firstly, Phil didn’t have time to relax. Besides golf game, he had no ‘extracurricular interests’. Just sit in front of the computer and lack of enough exercise would lead to some health problems like heart diseases, especially he was in the middle age. Secondly, Phil might have some health problems although he did not smoke. He did not have a balanced diet since he always ate egg salad sandwiches as his lunch. Also, he was over-weight but he did not take this seriously. Therefore, he might have some potential health problems. Finally, the relationship with the colleagues and with family...

...customer service, half of that trying to train a couple cashiers that would take my place during my leave. It was still 2 days before my due date and everyone at work was convinced I was going to be past my due date and would go into labor at work. Truthfully, there were running bets about who was going to drive me to the hospital so they too could get out of work. Needless to say, I spent way too much time at my job, but I love the girls I work with and didn’t want to leave them stuck for 8 weeks Christmas season, though I knew that it was inevitable. It was warm for mid-October though, I remember driving home with the window a quarter of the way down and singing to the radio. Without a doubt I was singing some country song and dreaming of getting my shoes off, sitting down, and having one of the only things that didn’t make me feel sick as a dog; a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Twenty minutes and I would finally get to relax. At the house I was so uncomfortable, even in my favorite gray yoga pants and a tank top. I told my significant other, (NAME); I might go into labor that evening, though I had absolutely no proof or reasoning to this other than a feeling. No more than an hour later I started having contractions. I told (NAME)he ought to go to sleep. He resisted at first but I know how cranky he gets when he doesn’t get his beauty sleep and I did not want to deal with him being cranky. I took my phone out to the living room and sunk into the couch with a blanket and tried...

...It is that time of the year again. The University of the Philippines College Admission Test (UPCAT) is just around the corner and you are surfing the Net, joining forums about THE test and looking for “special tips” for taking the examination, aren’t you? I see you. I cannot help but remember how chill I was on my exam day. It was not really because I was so confident that I knew everything the premier state university expected me to know. I think it was more because I did not even think I would make the cut. I did not get to attend any review class nor did I buy all the best and recommended UPCAT reviewers. As many UPCAT passers will tell you, it is not really about how much you have studied the summer before for the entrance exams but how much you have learned in school since Day 1. “UPCAT is not a day but a season. It started the day you realized you needed to work hard for your high school grades so it could help you ace the test. UPCAT … started when you began to hope to be an Iskolar ng Bayan,” says broadcast communication graduate Joseph Cataan. All you need for UPCAT are refreshers because, as they say, “you already know what you know.” I was also calm and cool about the whole thing because I was never pressured by my parents. On UPCAT day, my dad said, “Just do what you have to do.” And so I did. People will tell you that getting into UP is not the be-all and end-all but it pays to be assured that you did your part, from pre- to post-exam. Survival tips Here...
