How good are you at evaluating yourself and facing up to habits or attitudes you have that could use improvement? Have you ever planned a course of action to improve a habit or an attitude? How did that go?

(I am asking because I am trying to improve some skills at my work. Communication is one of them)

Just as when Electricity was Invented, They did not master it the first time, tho they had the DRIVE to succeed... and it is that DRIVE that will make success..... Fail 3 times, but NEVER give up... Failure is how success is achieved!!!!!!!!!!! wink

No need to evaluate myself. There's always somebody else who will do it for me. I've been told recently that I have a bad habit that I wasn't even aware of. When I think about it, the assessment is right and I have tried to correct it but it's not going too well.

Who cares....that's my bad attitude laugh

laugh lol monte! You could always try again as Larry suggests

I look at it as first one has to own the change....doesn;t really mean what you want to do is because you have "failed" or that anything is wrong with you (me or whomever)

just that you want to improve something...can't see how anything one tries will usually suceed the first time!cheers hug

Perseverance and if you first don't succeed don't beat yourself up. Pick yourself up and brush yourself off and jump back in the saddle.

Good luck!wine

Hi felixis, I changed jobs a year ago and did ask for feedback / if everything is ok shortly after starting and after 1 year. I do like to hold on to my current job and it is hard to know what other people think about your work if you don't get feedback. I would prefer to change some things before they get out of hand if necessary.

Otherwise it's a process with me, I did change a lot in regards to dealing with people at work and also privately - I put my foot down a lot more and don't take any messing. Does feel good to me and for everything else - I do have a family who has no problem pointing out my bad (and good) habits to me. laugh

We are who we are warts and all. All of our idiosyncrasy's make us who we are,and are part of our character.

As adults we really should know how to behave by now don't you think.j.m.o.
