THE EVENT:
During the session, Ms. Harpreet Kaur, Associate Professor, JIMS sec-3, who has been working with JIMS for the past six years, made students aware about how the ‘Journey from Potential to Performance’ takes place.
Purpose of life is to reach 100% with our limitless potential. Exploring the unknown can be scary because we are in a constant state of denial when it comes to acknowledging our weaknesses, for example; the state of procrastination in which we keep on delaying things.
Self-Awareness is crucial for reaching excellence because it fosters continuous growth, refinement and mastery in various aspects of life, whether personal or professional. Accurate Self-Assessment helps individuals to recognize their strength and areas for improvement. It enables a form of continuous improvement, goal alignment, focused effort and emotional regulation.
Reaching excellence should be the main aim of every human being. It can be done through the following steps:
Step 1- Getting out of your comfort zone
Step 2- Fear zone (finding excuses, lack of self-confidence)
Step 3- Learning zone (dealing with challenges and problems)
Step 4- Growth zone (conquering of dreams and goals)
Motivation can be of two types-
Intrinsic- Done for self-fulfilment and improvement. It refers to the internal drive to engage in an activity because it is inherently satisfying or rewarding.
Extrinsic- Done to receive appreciation from others in order to try to please the society. It refers to the drive to engage in an activity in order to achieve external rewards.
So, for succeeding in life you need to focus and learn, identify your time wasters, set goals, be thankful and positive in life.
At the end of the session, everyone applauded and expressed gratitude to Ms. Harpreet Kaur Rakhra ma’am for sharing her valuable knowledge and insightful thoughts with the students.
Conclusion:
All the students found the workshop to be both educational and interactive. By the end of the session, they were focused and ready to grow their career to new professional heights.
