Title: Connections year
Preface:
As an extraverted person, I am one who has many
friends and always spending time with them. I make friends easily and I have
good intuition when I meet new people. It means I am never be tired of
communicating with many people. If for doing a project we need to manage many
relations and arrange matters between many agents, this allow me to have a
fresh approach. Meeting new people does not worry me; on the contrary, I feel
excited to know someone new.
Living in another continent,
in another country, one with different culture, traditions, and more important
with a different language challenges the process of developing connections. Of
course, I have tried to go through critical situations but often
subconsciously. I have tried to be open to the new cultures. I have learned new
languages and have made new friends but subconsciously will and spontaneity are
not efficient enough. Especially, last summer when I decided to change my
personal project from being involved directly in the politics of my country to
become aggressive for its economic development and growth of business, these
limits have become visible to me.
Mission statement:
The first step in creating a new career for myself is
to solve this problem described. This year, I am focusing in developing my
connections according to the condition where I live and an actual project that
I have. It means I will change my attention from political and intellectual
pursuits to commercial and business communications. I will try to create new links
based on entrepreneurship. I will spend more time with international friends.
Instead of using my energy on mu native language, I will spend more time to
mastering new languages which I will need in new countries and for the actual
project. I will try to develop my
communications and negotiation skills in these languages. I will try to create
social capital in this new social network. […]
