Feedback Thoughts

The two articles i found that were the most interesting to me are the Why rejection hurts so much and the How to get past negativity bias articles. For me, Feedback is more important to me because it lets me know that everyone always will have an opinion on something whether you like it or not. In the past I have gotten feedback on things i have done or the way i have acted towards someone or something and hearing that feedback I would let it dictate my mind because originally when i hear it i think "Nah that's impossible or nah, that can't be true. So and so does not know me" but as i grew older i came to the realization that people will always have opinions and feedback on something and it is something we have to accept. In the Why rejection hurts article, it talked about how the greatest damage rejection usually causes is self inflicted and that made me think about how accurate that statement is because when faced with rejection whether it would be rejection from a person you have been eyeing or rejection from a job that you wanted, you always start to question things about yourself which could lead to self confidence issues and much more. In the How to get past negativity bias article, I tried using the HEAL method that was mentioned in it and to my surprise it actually kind of worked. Although at the moment I am not witnessing or receiving negative feedback, I just decided to try it to see if it would have a positive impact on me and it did.

 In the Week 3 articles, the article i found helpful was the How to give Feedback without sounding like a jerk article mainly because it reminded me of some people who would come across as a jerk when giving their feedback to things they either like or don't like. I myself also took a some tips that were mentioned in their into consideration so that in the future when a person wants me to give them the absolute truth about something  I won't sound like i am being rude to the person.

Introduction to a Social Introvert

Hi, My name is Charlton Nwaefulu and I am a senior here at the University of Oklahoma and will be graduating in December. I am from Mansfield, TX and i transferred to this school in the Fall of 2015. I am an Economics major/MIS minor and a cool thing about my major is that it is versatile so i could literally work in a lot of fields without having to attain a specific degree. I didn't really have a favorite class from last semester due to the workload/scheduling but if i had to choose then i would say that a class that i liked the most then it would have to be Economics of Discrimination because it broke down the economics of topics such as marriage and earnings and the costs of getting married and divorce. We also talked about wages and earnings between men and women regarding race.             My biggest accomplishment from last year was that i was able to pass my classes because i was in 3 Economic electives for my major and an MIS class so juggling the...

Week 12 Story: The Tale of O'Reilly

Image
There once was a man named O'Reilly who lived in the town of Apollonia with his wife, Meredith. They were living in the poorest section of the town and had spent days and nights wishing that money would fall into their lap. One morning before going to work, O'Reilly had awakened to the sound of a thud on the front door. O'Reilly then slid out of bed to see who or what has arrived on his porch and found an eviction notice before he could open the locks on the door. Meredith follows behind him asking O'Reilly what he is holding and he tells her about them needing to come up with money within a certain amount of days otherwise they will be put on the streets. "What are we going to do? It is almost time for winter and we cannot be without a place to stay," said Meredith. "I know, I know my dear. Hopefully, Mr. O'Boyle will be generous enough to grant me a raise for my birthday since I have been helping him around the shop for quite a spell," said...
