Feedback Thoughts

Feedback is so crucial to a person's development. By receiving feedback, I am able to learn from my mistakes or take an idea even further. Two articles that I read in relation to success and failure were 6 Mental Habits That Sabotage Your Success and 8 Things to Do When You Make a Mistake. 6 habits that hinder success include listening to your own self-doubt or trying to seek approval from others. In short, the article says that you should try to be open with yourself and allow yourself to fail. Others and your own self can stop you from even trying.  The second article address the issue of what happens when you fail. The main idea was that people make mistakes. It is a normal occurrence. Once you fail, you just need to be open to fixing the problem to become better (a.k.a. listen to feedback). Honestly, I love hearing feedback if I am wrong. That is the only way that I can change. In the past, I have always been given feedback and I am a very blunt person. So, I am not hurt if the feedback happens to be negative. As the semester progresses, I hope that my writing will be able to improve as much as possible.

    I really liked the image you posted with this; Toy Story was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Listening to your own self doubt is something that I believe most, if not all, people struggle with at times. Big decisions about the future will certianly cause at least some second thoughts, if not self-doubt in almost everyone. Addressing what happens when you fail is often important. IF you view failure as an opportunity to learn and grow, then I believe you are far more liekly to succeed in thefuture. Whereas seeing nothing to gain from a failure will surely lead to more failure.

Introduction to a Traveler

(Image Information: personal photo me in Taiwan; photo from June 2017.)     Hello Everyone! My name is Kelsea Long. I am currently a senior at the University of Oklahoma majoring in International Studies with 3 minors.   Throughout my time at OU, I have had the opportunity to study abroad 2 times. I chose to go to Seoul, South Korea each time. I started learning Korean at a young age, so I was able to adjust to Korean life very fast. During my stay there, I was not only a student, but I also worked at an NGO in marketing to help with North Korean defectors. This experience for me really changed my point of view because I was able to learn about other cultures while learning more about myself.    As soon as I turned 18, I did not know what to do with my life, I always followed what my friends were doing. But, when I first studied abroad, I wanted to take the time to learn what I wanted to do and what makes me happy. This drive helped me to...

Why Sleeping May Be More Important Than Studying By  Katrina Schwartz One thing that I already knew about sleep was that it is important to your mental health. But, it is very challenging to get the right about of sleep every night. One new thing that I learned while reading this article was that many children are facing serious sleep derivation issues. This is affects test scores around the country. The study conducted was to see what happens with a child is able to properly rest. By sleeping, children are able to retain and recall more information. One thing that this article has inspired me to do is to stop cramming. By cramming in essays or projects at the last minute, I am not able to sleep overnight. This leads to my work not having as good of quality and my personality changes depending on how tired I am.
