Words per minute

great feeling. When showing your talents you always want to show your skills as good as possible. I believe everyone has a talent that they have practiced to master or they were good at it since the first day one. I have a talent that I was horrible at when I started at, But then I gave it my best to improve and I succeeded more than I thought I would, I has passed the typing speed I thought I would never get. My goal when I was a little kid was to be a fast typist. When I got to 7th grade, the first class I chose was computer applications because typing looked fun. I was good at following the instructions, but I was very slow at typing. At the beginning of the year there were many students racing and were already around the 30 words per minute (wpm) mark, while my maximum typing speed at the time was 14 wpm. I was usually the student that finished all his assignments last due to very slow typing speed. Back at 7th grade I wanted speed everything, I ran fast during the mile because I liked going fast, I liked finishing my homework fast. And I liked getting to my house fast after school. I still have the habit of walking fast home anyway. So, when I couldn’t type fast and finish my assignments I was embarrassed and ashamed of myself so I decided to practice at home as much as I could. During the computer applications class one of the faster students asked me for a pen because he forgot his, I let him borrow mine, then he lost it. I was and still am a loner, but…

Two of my greatest strengths are organizing others’ ideas and thinking of pragmatic approaches to big ideas. I know that having this personality type would allow me to create…

miscommunications. As an example, write down these words: I didn’t say you were beautiful. Now if you read those six words out loud and put the emphasis on a different word, what does it say? You can read a six-word sentence six entirely different ways. The reason we have so many problems inside companies and so much miscommunication is because we don’t have face-to-face meetings enough, whether in person or on Skype or Facetime. But if you run meetings the right way, not only can your…

Agenda For each meeting, you need to decide who the most critical people are who need to be there. Without an agenda, you can’t possibly know who should be at the meeting. Consequently, an effective meeting starts with the agenda. Before the meeting decide: what you want to cover, what order you will present each agenda item, and how many minutes you will spend on each one. Get good at letting people know they don’t always have to attend every meeting. You don’t need your lab technician to be…

researching it later, I learned this would affect over 2,000 service employees of “city-subsidized” buildings, including universities and hospitals. Following the conclusion of the agenda items were some additional resolutions, all unanimously passing, and speeches made by council members. 2. Critical Evaluation of the Meeting Although the historic interior was as impressive and grand as I had hoped it would be, I was surprised the council chamber was on the 4th floor. The council meetings…

We have not yet determined a suitable time for us to meet that fits best with our schedules. If one group members cannot be present, it is still important to hold meetings. In the case that someone is absent, someone will take meeting minutes and forward it out to the group in an email. If our schedules do not align and we cannot ever hold in-person meetings, we will communicate through technology including email, GroupMe, and Google Docs. It will be very difficult to find a time to meet that…

For Coca-Cola, its boundaries have undergone a substantial transformation as a result of organizational acquisitions. For example, the Coca-Cola Company acquired Minute Maid in 1960 (“The Minute Maid Company History,” n.d.). In 1993, the Coca-Cola Company acquired Thums Up -- a spicy cola beverage company that originated in India (“20 Years Later: A Look Back at Coke’s Dramatic 1993 Return to India, 2013”). Two years later, they acquired the root-beer beverage company Barq’s Incorporated…

"Catherine! Wake up! You overslept. Don 't want to be late on the first day of school, you have 30 minutes!" My over excited mum squeaked. I was 17 and yet she acts like I am a 10 year old on their birthday. So far, I have been to literally 12 different schools in the last 3 years, so it is hard being excited for another one. After about another 5 long minutes, I decided to finally get out of bed. "Honey, you have 5 minutes before we have to leave!" My mum yelled at the top of her lungs. "You…

Bergman had made a promised with Dr. Wigand, that if he stood up, 60 Minutes would interview him. When CBS decided to remove Wigand's story before it aired, Bergman uncovered that the cause was that there was a lawsuit launched by the tobacco industry against the network. The network became a cowardice under all of the stress, theorizing that airing the interview would welcome a multimillion-dollar lawsuit from Brown & Williamson and danger its pending sale to the Westinghouse Electric…
