"You Majored In what" chapter 3

" College is supposed to be a time for thinking,but again if you watch movies about the college scene
(Animal House anyone?), You sure wouldn't know"

    This quote stood out to me because it represented my outloook on collge before i started. Many movies and shows that i watched related to college were about sororities competing against other sororities or who was cool opposed to who was lame. These shows never once reflected the importance of education or hard work required to be successful in college. The cool and flashy student were looked at as royalty while the lest flash smarter kids were looked at as nerds.


"right-mind thinking doesn't mean you ignore challenges or pretend that something bad is really good. Instead, you take what is challenging and find a way to mentally approach the challenge so that ultimately you succeed in the situation." 

      This quote is especially true in the job world. There may be jobs and managers that are hard to deal with but throughout it all you know your one mail goal which is to get the job done and not lose your job. With this in mind you will always prosper in any situation that may at first seem impossible. you don't have to pretend to like something that is not to your liking. All you have to do is focus on the reason you even accepted the challenge and you will come out a winner.

"determine what is and and isn't working, why it isn't working, and how it can be changed;"

      This is very important in order to have an organized life. I find that if something is wrong or not working out, don't immediately stress about it. Rather find out what the problem is and find out why is it a problem. My mother always tells me that to every problem there is a solution. As i get older i see that this is always true. With this method of thinking life and is problem will be easier.
