We started as a small chapter with only six members but grew quickly to twenty-two members. When I first started as president the members were inexperienced and new nothing about fraternity life and rules. They had no idea of what was expected of them, how to meet expectations, and how to be productive in this setting. I started as a president running the entire fraternity. Even though the other members had positions and duties, I did their jobs for them. I wanted them to ask how to do their positions and certain tasks.
Eventually, they got annoyed with me and stopped talking to me. This caused some problems because when my members were not talking to me the organization as a whole wasn’t able to do what it was supposed to do. This is why I think the most important lessons from this book are “anticipate change, monitor change, and enjoy change. ” When I took over and became president of my fraternity, I knew my work ethic and I knew what I was capable of. If I get invested in something and I put my full effort into it, I know things will change.
However, when our membership was increasing I didn’t realize that it would change the logistics and day to day tasks. If I would have anticipated the change then I could have written policies and worked with my national office to make sure that we were prepared for the dramatic increase in membership. The next lesson that I found important was to monitor change. When membership increased within my fraternity, new members got positions that required responsibility. This is where I thought ahead and I planned.
The Essay on Change the World
If I could change the world, how would I change it? Of course, I must first decide what I want to change and what into. Afterwards, I must think of a way on how to achieve that change. As a young individual, I think that the best way to change the world is rather than doing anything too big, I just have to make it a priority to go out of my way in small amounts to bring that world about. Everybody ...
Once new members got a new position I went over all of the positions, what the position entailed, and what responsibilities fell onto them. I went over whom they would be working with and what they would need to do on a weekly basis, and then made sure to give them both a hard copy and an electronic copy of their duties. Things started off rocky with some of the positions, but because I was monitoring them I was able to help them when things got worse. This was really important because I am no longer an active member and I am entering the “real world. If the change in positions was not monitored, and if they were not mentored in their positions, the fraternity as a whole could have fallen apart. The last lesson that I found to be really important is to “enjoy change. ” Enjoying the change is essential. I started off in the fraternity holding no position and not understanding anything. Then a large group of people graduated and I was the only person qualified for the position of president. At first I was really nervous and stressed but eventually it turned out to be a lot of fun.
I enjoyed the increase in my social life, the relationships I built with other organizations and departments on campus, and the ability to say that I made a difference. I was able to take pride in what I was doing and I think that is one of the reasons we have done so well. Out of all of the characters I am most like Haw. I was unable to anticipate the change and it took me a while to realize that things needed to change. Like Haw I wrote down notes and guidelines for people to follow. Throughout the year I composed a four inch binder that has absolutely everything that anyone would need within the fraternity.
And I ended up enjoying myself along the way. It took me a while at first and I was anxious but as time passed by I realized I was adapting to change and that things were looking up. For these reasons I would have to say that from the book “Who Moved my Cheese” I am most like Haw. This paper was asked me to relate the book to my professional life and some people might argue that being in a fraternity is not part of your professional life, however I would disagree. Joining and running the organization has helped shape me in the professional life that I will have.
The Research paper on Chuang Tzu Life Things One
In an effort to decide how I wanted to approach this paper, I decided to search the Internet to see what today's world held for me on the matters of Chinese Philosophy. One quote describing Chuang Tzu, the topic of my research paper, stuck out. In describing what this person thought was the overlying teachings of Chuang Tzu he stated, "The individual could attain mystical unity with this One by ...
