Tenacity & Paying It Forward


1      Tenaciousness is a competency: One of the main actions I have taken when it comes to being successful in this course are to always do all the assignments even though they might seem endless. I use reminders on my phone to remind me before an assignment is due so I do not forget to do my work.
2      Tenaciousness is also about attitude: Due to my illness it is very hard for me to complete normal daily tasks for some people simply because I feel weak and nauseous. What pulls me through is the reminder of how far I have already gone and that if I give up now everything that I have already done with be worthless. I develop tenacious attitude everyday, I have to if I want to keep up with everyone else and my experiences that have contributed the most to this is having Crohns disease.
3      Three tips:

Fostering the skills that support tenacity;
a)     Go to sleep early.
b)    Make sure you place reminders on your phone.
c)     Have a set schedule for every week before it begins.

Developing the 'tenacious mindset';
a)     Exercise at least four times a week.
b)    Get a watch and time yourself.
c)     Work toward something that makes you happy and has nothing to do with school or work everyday.

  2. Hey Ricardo! I applaud you for the dedication you have toward completing the numerous assignments for this course, especially considering the obstacles that you mentioned above. I think your idea regarding tenacity as something in which people continuously develop throughout their day to day life is interesting and highly applicable, as it’s not something that a person can have one day but not the next. I do wonder how relevant your advice is to exercise at least four times a week in developing a tenacious mindset, however, as I’ve heard of the numerous benefits of exercising regularly, but still fail to exercise myself.
