week 3, Question 3

This week there was a lot of new concepts that were talked about. In chapter 9 the book talked about the different stages of decision making and problem solving. i found this chapter to be useful in general life. There were a lot of concepts that seem so general, yet I think we sometimes forget how to step back and reevaluate situations we are placed in when times get tough or don't always go our way. Having a good outline of the overall goals is key when problems arise. To know what it is your doing and why you are doing it really can help keep a group or an individual going when times get hard. A concept i found interesting was that of internal and external constraints. Knowing when it is something like money or knowledge that holds you back is way different the set rules of the internal constraints. This chapter was a great one on life lessons and dealing with pressure. I came out of it with an overall message that sometimes you need to step back and remember why it is you are doing what your doing and keeping your eyes on the goal can help pull you through. (like graduating....) =)
