1) Describe five ways in which you think you have human capital that is truly unique.
- Tenacity
I have always been the kind of person to not stop until I finish a project, even if it takes me well into the night to complete. I can't stand when I am not able to finish something, sometimes to a fault.
- Attention to detail
Every time I am working on something, I make sure that every detail is exactly like how I envisioned it. For example, I am into graphic design so I am very meticulous when it comes to my images.
- Empathy
I have a pretty fine-tuned ability to understand how someone else feels. I can put myself in their shoes and figure out how to help people based on that.
- Analyzer
I am and have always been an analyzer. I carefully look at all sides of an issue before I make any decision. I always find the need to seek out all possible outcomes before acting.
- Moral compass
I really try my best every day to make the ethical decision, no matter what I am doing. I try very hard to do whats right, even if it has bad repercussions.
2) Interview the five people that know you the best about what makes you different.
My Mom:
My mom basically reaffirmed what I said in number 1. She told me that I've always been the kind of person to carefully work through problems in order to make the best decision I can. My takeaway would be that she seems to think I am good at carefully going through a process and not caring what other people think about it.

Federico:
Federico, my roommate, said something pretty similar to what my mom said. He said that I have an ability to follow through on a project.

Xenabeth:
Xena, my other roommate, focused on an emotional ability by saying I am a good listener. This plays into my ability to empathize with others and understand their problems.

Duncan:
My brother, Duncan, played into my ability to analyze things in a way that lets me think through problems. I always analyze something before I do anything.

Arthur:
Arthur, one of my good friends, said I am good to get along with. This helps in any job market because I can work with others easily.

3) Reflect
I think everything I said and everything my friends and relatives said was pretty close. Something that I didn't think of before was what Xena said about me being able to listen to people and give good advice that way. That can really help if I ever have a leadership position in the future. Other than that, everything was pretty close. It's good to know that how I view myself is similar t how others view me.
Morgan, great job on the assignment! I also really like your template for the blog. We have some uniqueness in common with the first part of the assignment. We both have a moral compass that guides the basis of our decisions and I think that is something that has gone missing with a lot of folks in our generation. Good for you for staying true to yourself! Your friends and family are also very supportive of you and I think that they thought the same as you think of yourself, which is great. If you would like to check out my blog post you can find it below:

Good evening Morgan,
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job on this post! I like you set it up, and how in depth you were with describing your qualities. All of the qualities you listed are absolutely important in life and in work. "Attention to Detail" is huge. I work in an administrative setting, and attention to detail has really saved me a few times by catching mistakes.
Great job!
Hey Morgan!
ReplyDeleteFirst off, wanted to say great job on the post! You really hit the nail on the head with this assignment. I like that you really looked deep within yourself to find your uniqueness. Most people will search for the bare minimum and say the same thing as everyone else, but you really came up with some insightful ideas. Great job!
