Rule Number 2 Study Guide

Superior Essays
Rule #2 – Sadly I have walked past people one several occasions without acknowledging them. I like to equate it to my quietness but really I do not want to inconvenience myself because it would take longer if I stop to talk with them than if I simply continued walking as if I never saw them. I guess that for the same reason I guess I do not want to talk to them also because talking to them could inconvenience me, but if they started talking to me, I would be more than happy to talk to them. I do not know if this has ever happened to me because I cannot tell if they are avoiding me or if they really did not see me, so to the best of my knowledge no one has on purpose ignore me.

I think it depends on the type of person on if they are more likely to praise or complain in a situation. I have met some people that they give praise all of the time even when I am not doing such a great job, I think it is more meaningful when you only praise someone when what they did was good or better than what it usually is not all of the time. I am definitely more likely to complain in a situation but I do not complain because something is actually bad I just complain because I want sympathy. I had two basketball coaches one was trying to make everyone feel good about themselves and would tell you what a good job you did every time you did something. The other would tell you how to improve what you were doing, and would only tell you good job when you had actually done something well. I appreciated the praise from the second coach much more because I could tell that he actually meant what he said and was not just trying to make me feel good about …show more content…
If it really were my fault, I would know I do not try to push the blame on other people. All of the scenarios would have been quick and painless if the person at fault had just taken the blame and it would have left both parties feeling better about the whole situation. If any one of these people had just apologized it would have increase the customer/friends view of them but since they tried to ignore the problem or tried to turn the problem back around on them, it made them upset and lowered their view of the person

Clauses 1 and 3 of rule 10b-5 use the terms fraud and deceit which must occur in connection with a purchase or sale but need not relate to the terms of the transaction.

    Honestly, the boss should reconsider about Chris being an employee because he had made numerous mistakes and the boss knew about the situation. In fact, I did not think of being apologetic towards the client because I am more concern about the company’s reputation and having the client being angry. Furthermore, the tone you used is excellent since this will help you keep the client and still keep their trust in you. I like how you are using a supply chain analogy for your thoughts on major and minor errors. But, what if the factory needs it a week earlier than what the date was originally plan?…

    I have learned that sometimes by asking how their day is going or just showing them appreciation, that this may encourage them to help me in the times I should hear their voices. My acts of kindness will reflect to other players, who will then be able to do the same with the coaches. They will not feel ignored by any of us, because we all truly do care about the things they have to say. In the future, I hope to be a bigger light for assistant coaches. The reason for this being the case is because I know that there are books that are written about head coaches, but everybody forgets about the one who is helping them be great.…

    Life with Education As I sit and reflect on “First Job” by Iliana Roman and how her life could possibly compare to mine, the term “apples and oranges” come to mind. Even while I admire Iliana Roman’s “never give up” attitude and the fact she proved that a woman does not need a man to be successful in life, I don’t believe I’m going to find a multitude of points to hit upon. While the author’s first job of many lasted a period of years, my one and only job lasted a little over a year. It started at the beginning of my senior year and lasted through graduation.…
