In the articles “Change or Die” and “Dealing with Ambiguity: The New Business Imperative” I learned a tremendous amount about ambiguity and why it is so important to be able to deal with it. The main lesson I learned from “Change or Die” was the author talking about how the real challenge isn’t changing itself, but it is the conventional thought that change requires facts, fear, and force in order to be successful in changing. Changing people does not come easy and it doesn’t come from scaring someone into change, forcing someone into change, or telling someone to change, rather it comes from being able to emotionally connect with someone and giving them hope that the change can be accomplished and that it will be good for them and that is

I caught myself being very impatient and annoyed at a stop light today when I was in a rush to get to class. Flipped the situation around by taking a deep breath and thinking about how lucky I am to be at such a great school when others don’t have an opportunity to do so.
2. I caught myself getting extremely angry at one of my friends. I flipped the situation around by thinking about all the times he’s been a great friend and about the times where I was annoying to him.
3. I got extremely frustrated while doing some homework because it was difficult. I flipped the situation around by asking for help and working through it piece by piece.
4. I caught myself being extremely bothered by the whole job search process. I flipped the situation by realizing how lucky I am to be applying to some of the best businesses in the world.
5. I was extremely annoyed about how I had to get out of bed to attend a meeting. I flipped the situation around by realizing I was getting a good jump to my day and I would be able to get a lot of work …show more content…
I am a person who usually likes a set schedule day in and day out and I don’t really enjoy changing my schedule. This has been who I am since I was a kid, I would always have a set schedule with very little variability. However, over the past several weeks I have been really working at becoming more adaptable because the world isn’t always going to work in a set schedule for me and my career definitely isn’t either. These past weeks I have been waking up at different times, changing my diet, trying new adventurous things that I would never think I would ever try, and I even decided to go study abroad in Spain next semester. All of these things were very difficult for me to adjust to at first, but now looking back on it I had a very enjoyable time. I learned a tremendous amount about how having a set schedule every day isn’t all that exciting and not very likely to happen in my career. Trying all these new things was very exciting for me and gave me a fresh outlook on my life and I couldn’t be more excited about making my decision to go to Europe next semester. Before this class I was on the fence about going to study abroad because I like being close to home, I was about 80% going and 20% not going when I found out my individual project was about becoming more adaptable and after talking with my parents and a few of my close friends I decided I didn’t want to miss out on an experience like that.
