Reflection:
No one in this life
is perfect, therefore recognizing one’s weaknesses is the first step into obtaining
great things as weaknesses can stop us from achieving our goals and fulfilling
our dreams. Recognizing our weaknesses
is as important as recognizing our strengths so hopefully by recognizing our
weakness we can improve them.
Hi Herzen!
ReplyDeleteGreat job in identifying those stubborn " bugs " that have engulfed our society. I liked how you stated your concern and described why it was a bother to yourself. You have identified the problem and further reflected on recognizing that fulfilling any goal starts by recognizing the weakness of it. Great job using social awareness throughout!

ReplyDeleteHey Herzen, I actually can relate with you on some of the bugs that you listed. For example, I also find it to be a huge safety concern when motorcycles split lanes. There’s just too much room for error. Regarding your whole list, I really do like the fact that you are super observant regarding human interactions. As an entrepreneur, I do believe that there is a ton of room for improvement regarding human interactions and society in general. I do wish that you expanded on some of the explanations a little more, but overall great work!
Kind regards,
Matthew
