A behavior I have adapted and started to use is forcing myself to make uncomfortable decisions and ask people for help more. it has helped me get and conduct interviews. Faking self-confidence, in a way, is still some form of self-confidence I guess.
2) Tenaciousness is also about attitude. Talk about a moment or two when you felt like "giving up." What pulled you through? Do you feel like you've developed a tenacious attitude during the past two months? What experience or experiences most contributed to this?
A moment I felt like giving up was one of the first assignment with interviews. I hadn't been that comfortable with asking people for help with interviews so I normally I didn't think that I'd be able to succeed in a course that frequently has you ask people for interviews. In reality, I was able to pull through from the fear of getting bad grades. I think I developed a little of a tenacious attitude when I got a lot of compliments from family and friends about my ideas and opportunity beliefs.
3) Three tips. What are three tips you would offer next semester's student about (1) fostering the skills that support tenacity and (2) developing the 'tenacious mindset' ?
1. That things will work out given effort and tenacity.
2. Put aside more time to think about your own values and problems, they may apply to more people than you think.
3. Don't quit after a single Google search. Keep researching!
