There were ten (10) components to the discovery wheel which individually showed my strengths and weakness in a particular area: motivation, purpose, time, reading, notes, tests, thinking, communicating, diversity and money.

  • Self Discovery In Away And The Alchemist

    1392 Words  | 3 Pages

    throughout the term we’ve been focussing on the concept of discovery and its impacts and outcomes on individuals, reaching a clear understanding of the notion and its multiple facets. Discovery is a transitional and transformative process which influences the values and perceptions of individuals, leading to new beliefs and ideas. There are different types of discovery and they come about in different ways; whether it is intentional or unintentional, physical or metaphysical, discovery allows us to gain a new understanding of ourselves and the world around us. The play Away by Michael Gow (1986) and the novel The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho (1988) allegorically encompass these ideas, depicting how surpassing critical hindrances can catalyse greater self discovery, prompting change and development within an individual and their surroundings. Furthermore, both texts explore how individuals often limit themselves by refusing to accept alternative perspectives and letting fear obstruct their path, hence limiting their achievement of discovery. Despite many differences such as content and context, both

  • Manager Self Test Essay

    On this test, I scored a 7 out of 10. According to the book, this score means that I am in great shape with respect to my life’s personal mission. This test really makes you think about what you want your future to hold if you haven’t thought about it already. For me, I already have a sense of what I want for my future however I wasn’t sure what kind of shape I was in to attain that future. I realized through this test that I can describe a compelling image of my future, that I find living life to be more exciting than routine, and that I feel that my personal existence is meaningful. I also learned that although I see a reason for me being here I don’t, however, think that I have discovered a calling in life. I think that maybe because I don’t see my future necessarily as a “calling”. I see it more as an ever-changing thing. I have a clear image of what I want my future to be, but it is also something I can mold and change to fit my changing views. I discovered that I do feel that I have a unique life purpose to fulfill, but I don’t think I will know when I have achieved that purpose. I feel this way because I don’t think I will ever be able to fully fulfill my purpose because it is always growing and changing. I don’t usually talk about my personal mission, but I know how to
