Understanding yourself and Achieve more

  

I have been working in the healthcare industry for almost a decade now. I started as a regular employee, did my 8 hours job, and went home. What I primarily cared about at that time was helping the patient and getting paid. My co-employees and Supervisor observed my work. I made a good impression on the patients while communicating with them. And how efficiently I manage my job without stress. My Supervisor needed help then, so I started giving ideas and recommendations that made our job easy. She pushed me to think critically by offering suggestions, asking questions, and creating ideas. Simple ideas make them happy. That drives me to continue and exposes my ability to troubleshoot a problem. I got famous in our department because of those ideas. I attended meetings, seminars, a lean management methodology based on the Toyota production system principles, and a Kaizen event. My Supervisor gave me the Lead position, and I accepted without considering the consequences. I know that I can do it; everybody trusts me. It’s a significant change that needs more critical thinking, sacrifices, and responsibilities to help the department. Now it’s time to explore another industry, Information Technology. I love to troubleshoot computers, and my job combines clerical and clinical tasks. I was excited to be a student again, knowing I could do it. Nothing is impossible for believers.

The Progress of today's technology and enhanced innovation

We humans have unlimited ideas. We are not satisfied until we meet our desire as long as we can do it. I have read and understood the reason we need to advance technology. We don't want to waste our talent. Significantly, these benefit everybody. One example I will present is the Covid Analyzer.Covid-19 has triggered unprecedented demand for digital health technology solutions. Some analyzers are designed to get results within 24 hours, down to an hour. We also have the point-of-care or take-home kit and get results within 15 minutes. Watch my video clip to get an in-depth knowledge of tools. What design motivations may have inspired the original creators of these tools? What may have been happening that they perhaps wanted to happen more by creating this new/improved/remixed tool? What may have been some of the motivations for those involved?

This video was created by me, with some clips from youtube.

Time Management  

How to be a successful Student and Manage your time

 Own your Education by Megan Stone. I read the whole book for more than two hours. The content of the book is very straight forward and a practical guide to taking ownership of your own education. She explained the characteristics of Student Ownership and commitment, endurance and motivation and it lead to having a successful life. Some of us have learned some of these educational skills and bad habits in the early stages of life that interferes with having a successful education. But it’s not the end, we need to have effective planning and the Education Pyramid to be success. Effective planning shows the specific skills that you need to take ownership of organization, long term thinking and time management. The benefits of effective planning include increased confidence and decreased anxiety, which in turn lead to increased success in academics, career and personal life. How does accountability differ from ownership? Accountability is being reliable and responsible to someone or something and following through with action. Ownership is claiming something as your own or possessing an item or belief. Being a wife, Mom, a fulltime employee and a student, I am able to manage my time to affectively handle my responsibilities. It’s hard but it’s rewarding in the end. While I feel good about the educational goals I have achieved in my life. I’m going to continue and do it all over again.  And not only that, I will share this to my daughter in the future. Education is very important because we own it forever and no one can take it from us. I can see myself going even further in my education desires. Because the skies and beyond, will be the limits to my education.
