Professional Knowledge essay
Nowadays, a real success of a person depends both on the ability to foresee what would happen with him in the next moment, and the ability to respond adequately to the situation. All the struggles of human life in general and college education in particular require planning, effort and execution. In such a way, ever-changing domestic, working and social conditions cause a person to develop these abilities all the life. Thus, I would like to tell what I did to accomplish my goals throughout the course.
There is no doubt that continuous learning requires significant human conations and a presence of experienced teachers to help a person to avoid major mistakes and a considerable waste of vital energy. Analyzing my experience, I can say that there were some difficulties on my way, but I found many different possibilities to overcome all of them and to achieve considerable results. For instance, while preparing materials for every new task execution, I learned different ways to organize my time and became more purposeful.
According to Goodson (2003), a human life is a process of transmission and perception of information. Thus, education is human internal and fundamental need. I have understood that a person needs to learn something new during the whole life for the purpose to develop the necessary qualities required for successful human self-realization, while saving the health, time and effort.
For the purpose to accomplish my goals throughout the course I developed my skills in self-organization. I found the right way to the awareness of my personal features and to the use of the main strengths of my personality; to the activation of my potential abilities in complex real-life situations; and, finally, to the active use of intuition, creativity, and intelligence. In addition, mastering the skills of effective planning and execution, I developed the ability to identify priorities and to make effective decision to achieve them, or to abandon old priorities, when they hinder the achievement of personally relevant goals in the new environment. In such a way, the course helped me not only to gain hew important knowledge but also to aware my personal characteristics and intentionally use them as a resource in certain life situations, i.e. to develop my personal competence.
Thinking about the course and my goals, I can say that it has changed my attitude to life in general and to the process of study in particular. I have found a new way to re-organize everything in my life because it is impossible to achieve a serious personal growth, if the person runs contrary to own aims and desires. Thus, it is very important to be able to listen to the own inner voice and do not ever force oneself to do something. It is hard to achieve great results through the power, but it is necessary to understand the own true value, secret desires, abilities and preferences because exactly understanding of the own personality would help to see how motivation is growing and the person is irresistibly moving to own stunning results, performance or achievements.
To sum up, I strongly believe that education changes me day after day, and makes me more professional and confident. The course gave me a great opportunity to gain new knowledge, and changed my ordinary style and type of thinking to unconventional, non-standard approach to work, management, optimization of all events and business processes. In addition, I have gained a complete set of tools for effective work in my chosen direction owing to information received throughout the course.
