"The power of Vision

The movie “The Power of Vision” we saw in our class was very interesting. That is right our future depend a lot on our vision and also in our actions, because” vision coupled with action can make things happen. “We all have a dream of great and successful future, the vision inspires people to create this dream, but it is very important to make a decision and act, to develop the dream and to achieve a successful future and succeed our goals; however ‘vision without action is just a dream.” As an example, I came from another country for this reason, to fulfill my goals, to get a better future and a better life.

Decision Making

It is difficult to get to a decision and satisfy a large group of people, it is always someone who is not in your side, but I couldn’t believe it is that hard. We were asked in the MGT class to come to a decision about our test, but in order to get “whatever we asked for” we had to agree all of us 100%, and we had a lot of trouble, however we were able to come to a conclusion by the end of the class. We were all “happy” we got the curve and the chance to drop the lower grade.

The Egg Drop Experiment

Last week we had a class activity experiment, where we were asked to build an egg protection device in ten minutes, out of 8 straws and 2 feet of tape, and then drop the egg from 10 feet without breaking it.
We were five people in our team and worked perfect together. We had developed a few alternative strategies, such as building a nest for the egg or making four legs to protect the egg, but then we decided in wrapping the egg across and along with the straws and the tape we had available. We all get along with each other, one person hold the egg, another person was wrapping the egg with the straws, someone else put the tape, and we finished the project in time. We weren't successful, because the egg cracked, just a little bit, but it did crack.
Even though we lost, I was very proud of our team because we worked great together, and I know that we will do a better job next time.
