What is it that makes up the sauce that is moi?
First, my thoughts
In the case of what give me my human capital, there are a lot of avenues that I feel could be beneficial to my success. My first mark of being different is my immediate environment and family. My father is an entrepreneur himself, and does not shy away from money making ideas as well as striking down those he feels may not be well fleshed out until I have provided enough evidence for him to rationally come to the table and talk. My other secret ingredient is my wide range of friends. From friends in different fields to those with completely different tastes and fundamental agreements to how things may work (not in a conspiracy way but like a politics and society way), they can provide a treasure trove of knowledge bout what I should think about for a sector of the word I may not have considered. Another source of human capital is my experience with research. High school exposed me to a multitude of ideas, and through speech and debate I dedicated myself to a critical thinking process that greatly benefits me in an entrepreneurial way as I have practiced looking for distinct connections or patterns that may provide an opportunity. Another point of human capital I have is my ability to accept changes in the course of a project. I do not let the original vision hinder the possibility that something new comes up and changes the circumstances or numbers, and requires a new direction should that be the ultimate decision. The last bit I will bring up about my human capital is my easy going nature. I don't like the pressure to be mounted up and would want that even less for those who answer to me.

Reflection
One thing I did not realize right away is my charisma which others pick up on. I myself feel more awkward and not as super outgoing, but others do see me as someone who is approachable and easy to talk to. There is an agreement between me and Nathaniel in how I am open to knowing a lot about whatever I put my energy into, so it's good to hear that it comes across and is appreciated. Soha surprised me the most with her comments on creativity, as I do not see much of my activity as not creative at all but maybe others can appreciate what I don't see.
I do feel my interviewees catch me well, but like with anybody it's not easy to get every aspect of a person. Going back I wouldn't change my list, but I do know that I have more to me that gives me a good vantage point.
Hi Daniel,
ReplyDeleteAs your friend, and as an extrovert, I hate to be the one to tell you, but, you're an extrovert, too. As shocking as this is, you are unafraid to give your input in class, dish out quality jokes to anyone around you despite how well you know them, and can easily pick up a conversation with someone whether it's about politics, technology, journalism, or other nerdy topics.
Daniel,
ReplyDeleteIt is funny that you mention the whole charisma thing, because I had a similar revelation. People apparently like my personality and commented on my outgoing nature, but I've always felt more shy and reserved; I think my own perceptions of character are skewed and I have no idea how to go about knowing that. I also wouldn't change my list, but recognize some other qualities I could have included.
Daniel,
ReplyDeleteI agree a lot of people underestimate their charisma and the role it plays in their human capital. Personally, a trait I feel that is becoming less and less frequent is loyalty as someone who is always reliable is harder and harder to find these days. I agree being creative is key in the entrepreneurial process by having gumption as well as loyalty is invaluable skill set.
