Managment is Everywhere

Management is here management is there we see management everywhere.

Any time we need a breather we tend to turn to our leader

Not knowing how to plan can be a serious issue for the “big man”

Autocratic leader will never be there for you to give u a day spare  

Glass is empty, glass is full but managers always need to improve

Every problem needs a solution manager always needs to find a resolution

Management is cool if you like to rule, if you like to lead the whole breed

Even when the workers are sad and cry manager has to find a way to make them fly

Not knowing how to communicate is a sin, but if you are good and have that skill you can then sit still

Turn to the left turn to the right and we always see that management is right

GREAT TOOL!

I feel that the blog as an idea is a great tool to make the students actually think about the class work outside the classroom. Writing about assignments after completing them made me analyze the activities and try to understand the importance they had in the learning process, and how they actually related to the class material, because during the activities I focused more on completing whatever the goal was and did not concentrate much on the relation between the assignment and their connection to the class material. It also helped me remember the class and the activities that we did.

In a regular classroom setting we don’t get the opportunity to meet all of our classmates, we usually just get to talk to a small portion of the class often it the students that sit in the area. Blog on the other hand gives us the opportunity to meet(in a way) all of our class mates and gives us the opportunity to share opinions and communicate amongst each other very easily.

Even though I haven’t submitted everything on time I still feel that the blog should definitely be a part of this class because apart from being helpful with the material it gives students a great opportunity to get 20% of their grade just by basically coming to class and sharing their opinion and thought about it with others, which I feel is almost like a gift, and I regret for not using it to the fullest extent.

Honestly I do not think that I will continue posting on this blog mainly because of my schedule, but also because I am still haven’t realized the true value of it, I can see that blog can be very useful in many ways but unfortunately for me I still do not see myself communicating and sharing my thoughts in this way, I am hoping that my opinion will change in the future. In conclusion I really enjoyed the blogs and I feel that they are an excellent idea and a creative tool all students should get an opportunity to experience at some point.

The power of vision

One carrier goal that I had for a very long time was to become a lawyer. After realizing that the law systems in my home country and United States are completely different I gave up on that goal because if I was to finish law school here or back home I would have lost the option of being able to work not strictly in one country, which was also one of my goals. Not being only in one country the whole year round. So right now I am pursuing my degree in international business so I can one day work for a multinational company for example a US company that is located in some European country which would give me the opportunity of traveling and coordinating with people in the different parts of the world. Another dream that I have which I am certain I will make possible is owning a club of some kind it can be anything from a lounge to a discotheque at one point in my life, for some reason I really think I would enjoy that even at a later time in my life. Finally I would really like to have a family, 3 or 4 kids  however it seems that it could be hard if I have to travel because of work at all times but I will work very hard to make it all possible.    

The unbreakable

I would say that our group had a good perspective we worked good as a team but did not organize ourselves well enough. We started brain storming about the possible solutions for the egg drop as soon as we had enough information, what I think we should have done was to perhaps get a team leader as it was requested. That team leader then to make sure that we are doing everything we are supposed to and to divide assignments amongst us. Instead we all did in a sense everything, and because of that somehow we ended not following the instruction all the way through. As I said we were a team with a lot of potential since we did the bigger part of the assignment and where able to save the egg from breaking, but have failed on a mechanical and easy part of the assignment where we were just supposed to follow the instructions. We were disqualified from the competition even though our egg did not break. The sheet where the plan was presented did not incorporate our names, and so we have failed as a team only because we did not follow the instructions that were given.  This was a good school and I know next opportunity I get the same mistakes will not occur.

America vs Serbia

The country that I come from is in Eastern Europe on the Balkans, and overall the culture is not so different from the American but the mentality of the people seems to be quite different. People in American in general are much more polite. Not necessarily in New York because of its diversity but throughout the US and often in NY people smile at you for no reason, or they are always polite when entering  the store which is not always the case in Belgrade, the city I come from. Overall people seem more serious when compared to Americans, but after u get to know them they become very friendly.

One small detail that I noticed as a cultural difference would be observing people around you in your every day surroundings. Here it is considered rude to “stare” or look at someone passing by you for no specific reason, so when walking in New York it seems to me that nobody pays attention to each other, everybody just minds their own business, where as back home people look at you all the time as u walk you will very often encounter people’s eyes and notice that everybody seems to be looking at each other constantly.                                                          
Another difference is traffic and just following the rules overall, in the states people follow signs and speed limits quite a bit again in NY much less than in the other parts of the US but still much more than in Serbia. It seems to me that in Serbia we follow the saying; “rules were made to be broken” or so it seems. Of course not everybody but a big number of people, they don’t stop at stop signs, don’t like to wear seat belts, or helmets,  love to speed, and enjoy swearing at each other in traffic which can often brake out into a real physical conflict.  

These are just a few differences that seemed interesting enough to be mentioned of course there are more however life in general is not that different between these two places.
