Time consciousness,
January 27, 2010Time consciousness Part 2
27th January 2010
During this week I failed to submit my Systems Analysis assessment on time. This was because of a cumulative series of blunders I allowed myself to go under.
What was bad?
Failed to proof read my assessments. I struggled at the end and did not do my best.
I also failed to set up a final query for my Data Analysis and Design Assessment although having managed the others.
“If racing against mere men makes you tired, how will you race against horses?”
“If you stumble and fall in the open ground, how will you do in the thickets of Jordan?”Jeremiah 12:5
How could I have made it better?
I should have sought a career advice worker who should help me with how I can manage my personal time.
- Study and practice. I must also read the following journal: “Time consciousness, achievement striving, and the Type A coronary-prone”

Time consciousness
14th January 2010
During this week I almost failed to submit my Systems Analysis assessment on time. This was because of a cumulative series of blunders I allowed myself to go under.
What was bad?
Although I managed to hand in my assessment, I struggled at the end and did not do my best. This is a very bad behaviour which can affect the whole learning process.

Handling depression – Part 2
6th January 2010
What happened?
During the process of evaluating Employability Skills – Handling, Processing and Communicating Information, I discovered that my confidence levels still need some more boosting so that I may become immune to all such future attacks.
What was bad?
I barely concentrated during lessons because I felt intimidated by an experience of 5 years back which took place around the same time in the year. This was another counter productive move on my part.
I need to be completely immune
We went through another class session on confidence with other class mates and are fea things were suggested.
How could I have made it better?
“A wise man scaleth down the city of the mighty and casteth down the strength of their confidence!”
What’s your confidence? If it is the feelings, then you shall be easily brought down at any time. But if it is the information of truth, then you shall remain strong and immovable always.
Handling depression
6th January 2010
Just after the beginning of the new year, I started to fall under a spell of depression as I mused over the fact I was now broke and had not paid my rent in time.
What was bad?
This problem – depression affected my confidence, happiness and joy and so even slowed down on my college assessments. This problem almost affected my health as well as I was constantly under depression for days.
How could I have made it better?
I should have allowed myself to be motivated with information from the inside rather than from outside so caused the flame of joy and happiness to continue burning in my heart. A little reading from contemporary literature might have helped as well.
An example is the below scriptural inscription:
“Christ whose house are we if we hold fast the CONFIDENCE and the REJOICING of HOPE firm to the end…” Hebrews 3:6
So in essence, the warning is that: the day I allow myself to lose confidence, joy and hope, the spirit of God could lose residence in my heart.
Righteous ruthlessness
What happened?
This Christmas I began to reflect on the previous year and on my successes and failures. It became clear to me that the first half of the year I wasted because of a relationship I had with someone who later broke my heart. This short relationship ended up affecting my studies.
What was bad?
It was a painful process of reflecting on this mistake I almost got myself into had I married this person.
How could I have made it better?
I should have utilised ‘righteous ruthlessness’ by making an informed decision after evaluating the person before opting into a friendship with her. Time and patience are the factors I need to take to heart and allow myself adequate preparation stretching into years if need be until I have made up my mind.
Action Plan:
I have now promised myself that I shall not have a relationship with any woman until I have finished my course in May 2010
Do I possess Employability Skills?
December 9-27, 2009
This week we went through the aspects of employability and the need to make sure that one is appropriately ready for any job offer in their way.
What happened?
After an issue with an employer upset me affecting me to the point that I did not concentrate for a number of days, it became apparent to me that I was now lacking employability qualities
What was bad?
Low level of employability skills. I need not only to sharpen my employability skills which are mainly the ability to handle tension and controversy difficult circumstances.
How could I have made it better?
I should have armed myself so that no matter what the challenges are I would be able to handle the tension. I must now begin studying contemporary literature on inner strength building. I am now persuaded that all the problems that confront mankind are there to improve him and not to destroy him. I must now determine to develop myself instead of wasting time licking the filth that attempts to cling to my feet with each day.
“How errie are the issues of adversity which like the toddler wears yet a jewel in his head.”
William Shakeskeare 1615AD
