Patience is a valuable commodity...
Another great week at BTC that was filled with plenty of learning opportunities. It has been really great to get to know these outstanding people and to be able to have such a large pool of knowledge to learn from! One thing I realized this week is the importance of having patience while trying to learn something new.
I found myself struggling with understanding circuit diagrams, and pretty much everything else that had to do with the science of electricity. I became frustrated because I can be a bit of a perfectionist sometimes and I become angry with myself when I can't get things right within the first few tries. And now, I have realized that I just need to take a step back from myself and understand that I am new to this and that it is okay to make the mistakes in this learning process.
It is important to remember to go back to the basics and keep it simple whenever you find yourself over thinking and over analyzing. You will find it much more easy to solve a troubleshooting problem if you stay patient, rather than if you were to get frustrated because you couldn't come up with an answer instantaneously.
Thanks for another great week!

Well said Jake. When we realize our barriers to learning then we can begin to overcome them.
ReplyDeleteI know that I do not multitask well in front of a group...so I find ways around it. Most of the time. (;
