The ABC's of DISC

Recently we had an activity in class to determine our management types by answering questions that Professor asked. I think the test accurately gauge my management orientation. I was belonging to the group of Conscientiousness, which we named it C. People belong to C is emphasis on working conscientiousness within existing circumstances to ensure quality and accuracy. The test truly stay out that I am a person who thinking analytically, weighing pros and cons in any situation. I am a person who being diplomatic with people. Also, I am a person who using a systematic approach to situations or activities. I don't wish to be another type of person beside C. And I think it is not easy to be another type of person because difference person is living in difference environment and background he/she has. I strongly support the idea of determine people's management "type". I think it is very helpful to understand ourselves and others. This test effectively help people in difference circumstances like our professor mentioned, dating, etc. Once I know the person's personality, it will easy for me to date.

The Power of Vision

As the professor said, Vision without action is just a dream, action without vision merely waste time. Therefore I don't waste any minute from my life. Every minute in my life I am taking action with vision. The first vision I have is to be a professional accountant after five years or even less than five years. Study accounting is my first and majority goal in my life. I start and take actions from one year ago for my first goal. I transferred from City College to Baruch which it offer greater opportunity for students. And Baruch has professional accounting professors which City college does not have these advances. City College does not have business majors as well. In Baruch College, accounting major is the most difficult major that most student said so. Some students changed their major after they took one or two accounting major courses. They think majoring accounting in Baruch is just kill students' themselves from graduation. However,I would put more efforts to study and hope I can graduate from Baruch within accounting major. Actually, graduating from Baruch is my second goal as well. My goal just like a stair way. If I fall in any step from beginning, I could not able to achieve my goal at all.
The third goal I have is I hope I can get a position in one of the biggest accounting firm in the United States. all my future goals are challenge to myself. I am making competition with myself, but not others. Actions I am taking today is studying in one of the greatest business college. I am taking accounting major courses for graduate required. Also, I am learning and gaining little accounting experience from my work which it relates to accounting. I am not only learning from whatever books say, I am learning from real life experiences too.
