Introduction

The essence of learning a course in schools is to apply the skills, knowledge, and theories in the day to day operations at home, in the workplace, and in other positions in life. the skills and knowledge acquired during learning are determined by reflecting the concept learned and figuring out how these concepts can be applied in future life. According to Socrates, “the unexamined life is not worth living.” The quote encourages individuals to reflect on the issue that one has passed and projects on how the future might look. In doing so, one is required to remain focus and avoid destructive issues such as fear. In life, to achieve success one should learn from the mistakes and live beyond the frustrations that come from these failures.

What I Learned This Week

This week's reading discusses the need for self-determination in life to achieve goals in life. Life is full of challenges and thus it's essential to remain dedicated and optimistic; being positive in life helps make one overcome the challenges of life. In life, without dedication and hope, individuals' potential starts declining, and this the beginning of failure. Life is characterized by two events – the ups and downs. In the time of down one should remain focused, positive, and determined; during the ups, one should be humble and careful to protect the good thing.

This week’s reading will play a significant role in amending my behavior; the learning will empower my sense of life and contribute positivity. The readings have helped me to restructure my mind to remain hopeful and continue anticipating the future. Hope plays a substantial role in making keep moving and this betters over livers as we keep pursuing the best (Ross, 2017). By remaining positive even when one is down, make one keep trying, and hence at the end of the day success is achieved. Thus, I will learn to create a positive mood, and this will equip me with the capacity to remain determined even when this is not getting in the right path.

Ideas I can Use at Work and In Relationships

Positive minds, attitudes, and emotions are essential even in the workplace. In the workplace, being positive will help me to influence my colleagues to work hard toward the organization's objectives (Ashkanasy, 2016). A positive person can work under various conditions even though they seem to be challenging. Working in all conditions helps one to earn recognition from their organization and management. As a result, when a promotion comes, I am more like to be considered based on these observations. Positivity helps to create exemplary working conditions that will be emulated by others for the good of the company.

How I will Advance Globalization and Promote Social Justice

The skills learned in the course are powerful skills to changes the world. Currently, the world has become a global village and hence it is easy to reach many people through social media platforms. These skills will help me to launch a social media campaign on cancer awareness create hope for cancer patients and encourage them to live their life to the fullest. With online campaigns and motivations, the cancer patient will become hopeful regardless of their health conditions and hence, this will make them perceive the world as a better place to live.
