Safety Harbor, FL, Jan 12, 2009. My first day of the training that is renowned as the "best" in my company. It is indeed great, and I know I wouldn't have survived it if I participated 2 years ago.
Remember that I analyzed my MBTI type in my very first post? Here is more evidence: I am the most talkative person in my section of 25! Can you believe it? Of course, my comments are still thought after carefully, and I usually already rehearsed how I should say it in my mind. You can say that my comments still lack a sense of spontaneity and I have not mastered the skills of thinking while talking. Actually, I was a little hesitant in the morning, but in the afternoon I was totally on the game. Maybe I should begin to worry about how to shut myself up in the future.
Another reason why I think I wouldn't have survived the training if I participated 2 years ago: I am going to fail a lot in the program. This morning I had a disastrous mock interview, and the feedback I got was pretty much to change everything I am doing. I am exaggerate a little here, but it is close to the truth. Before, my fragile self-esteem would be crushed. But now I just shrugged it off, because from here, I can only do it better the next time around, right? Beside, I think that my teammates love me now because I have embraced my vulnerability pretty well. Too bad that my b-school essay on failures have already been submitted.
