Blog #10

First, post a picture that sums up your day (make sure you get permission for the pic!). What new questions has your internship inspired you to ask about our world? What has it made you wonder about? What are you moved to go out and do or learn about on your own time?

Well, this is just my work desk. I'm constantly moving around doing things so it's not something I can easily photograph. Actually, a question I have is how much time to people actually spend doing what they love or something productive. I know I go home, watch anime, and draw all day. Somehow, I had found that productive before. That was until Christine brought me to this social networking meeting about "How to get more done with less stress". I never saw it as "less stress", I saw it as "I'm doing something I love and it's convenient". But then I started to look around and see what else I could do that may be more productive but doesn't take that much more work. Instead of full on watching anime and drawing all day, I eventually started to watch TED online because I am interested in opinions. A small switch like this didn't take that much work, but I'm estimating that it would extend my creative thinking because of all these different speakers talking about the world. My next step is to actually move forward on what I want to do. I wanted to draw a comic for the longest time. People always told me, "You've said that, but when are you going to actually DO it?" This made me see that up til' now, I've felt like I have all the time in the world. As college nears, and even in being a junior in highschool, I see that my time is slowly being occupied with more things. Hence, the extra time I have left should be spent on doing something, having a product ot show. Sounds like a big lesson, but after thinking about it for a while, I actually told Nikki (My friend), "Nikki, I want to be successful and do something."

Here are NEW questions I can ask for the SECOND interview:
- What sort of things did you want to offer to clients?
- Did you research the location of your company?
- Where did you cover to make sure there wasn't a huge competition out there?
- How did you actively get into social networking?
- How do you accept disappointment from slow days or other people saying no to your company?
- Do you have a goal and direction in how your company will grow?
- Did you ever make a plan for your company? Did your company growth follow that plan?
- What was the worse thing that has happened throughout the struggle to make a new company?
