learning and leading with habits of mind

I found learning and listening with habits of mind a very interesting read all these 16 habits has played a huge part in my life in some way. The three that I possess at this point in my life are listening with understanding and empathy, striving for accuracy, and applying past knowledge to new situations. Have you ever had a disagreement with somebody and you talk so much about the situation that you lack to even listen to the other persons point of view so you never come to a solution. I always take it upon myself in every situation to listen with understanding and empathy to another person’s perspective because they may be informing on some wise information so it’s a habit of mind to constantly listen to people. I always give my opinion on the situation because I always feel like I should be heard and understood also I want the same respect. If people would just listen to each other I think a lot more things would get done. Sometimes iam guilty of ignoring other peoples point of view but I try to be understanding because I want to be understood. I take into consideration that everybody makes mistakes in every situation. Because I can strongly listen to others opinions I can strongly disagree. Iam always striving for accuracy in all of my work why? Because iam a perfectionist I like for my work to be clearly understood if it is not I like to go back and make it understandable. I take criticism very well but I do not like taking no for an answer no to me is unacceptable I can and I will strive for accuracy. I try not to just do work and rush it I like to take my time and perfect my work .sometimes I make mistakes in my work I can admit that but I learn from my mistakes in my work. Striving for accuracy is important to me because I think that my work reflects me as a person and the readers view on me. Have you ever turned in work to teacher and it’s not exactly correctly done and that teacher breaks you down to the point where you are emotionally hurt well it took one teacher out of all my school years to break me down and that one experience has build me up so well that I have strived for accuracy ever sents.Applying past knowledge to new situations is one of my greatest abililtys.I never like to make the same mistake twice. If I’m in a situation rather it’s good or bad and I have been under similar circumstances before I will apply past knowing to new situations. sometimes I catch myself saying I remember when....something is happen right then and there once I say that I discover that I can pull back from past experience and apply it to the circumstances now. I take all of my ability as a good thing and I put them to use the best way I can. Some times to apply past knowledge to new situations are the best thing to do. Am not a responsible risk taker because I cannot jeopardize any of my work no matter if it is work at school or working on a job. I do not have urges to take risk just because now I love an adventure but I believe that an adventure and a risk are to different things. Togo on an adventure you know what you are getting into you know all of the risks you no what’s up ahead on adventures things are currently planned you know your location. To take a risk based on an impulse is just mind blowing to me. I have to know my next step at all times some people just don’t believe in planning because they feel as though when you plan things they never get done well not me my plans are always planned step by step day by day. Being a responsible risk taker well I never heard of that type of mind thinkers but seems as though they do exists. To take a risk responsible I think means that the risk is well thought of and perfected before the task is complete. I would like to become a responsible risk taker because aim wondering if aim missing something am I not being informed on information that they are maybe not maybe so but I'll find out so I guess Aim taking a risk and it’s safe to safe that this is a responsible risk because I know the outcome and I no the risk. Finding humor in situations is something that I can improve on sometimes iam guilty of being really seiousr on certain topics but i just beleave that my veiws on certain things are stronger than other.I think that humor does the brain well but I rather be truthful about my thoughts then falsely find humor in a situation’s would rather voice my thoughts out loud not to ruin the laughing party but to just let others know that my view on the issues is diffrent.I know how to have a good laugh though Iam not or I do not think iam always serious but I believe that there is a time and a place for everything. I respect other people’s views if something is amusing to me but I know the person next to me does not find it humorous I hold my laughter out of respect for them. I think that some people find humor at other peoples expense I think that some children in particular find humor in picking on other children kind of like a bully but vocally. Never let other find humor at your own expense I do not think that is right. Another thing I need to work on is persistence sometimes I pick up one too many task at time. I think that many people are guilty of this because I like to get everything done at one time. I have decided that if I start one project I will not began another until that one is complete why because it’s too much confusion at once then I tend to forget about one thing because my focus is somewhere else. This is not intentional because I like to complete and turn in everything that I do perfectly but sometimes it’s a mission impossible task.persistance is an ability that I lack but can improve on in time. All of my habits both good and bad makes me so I do not force any of them away I endorse all my flaws and make them work for me the best way that I can.Iam still young and growing I have plenty of time to process and improve upon all of my habit.
