INFJ?

I took a test which is called personality test and I got INFJ. What is INFJ? It is kinds of personal type. Who has a INFJ personal type has a carrer in counselor. I think it is right for me. Actually counselor listen to some one's problems and worrying about and then try to fix it or advice them how to solve that problems. I really like to do that. I usually listen to my friends problems and tell them something helpful to them. If the problem is solved, I feel so free and I feel like i did some important thing in their lives. However, it is not only for people. I like to fix stuff. I am majoring computer sicence. It is make progam and process it. If it has problem I really like to fix ti and then process it again.

Happiness in Workplace

Have can people enjoy or make themselves happy in a workplace? I think it is when people are able to work wherever and whatever they want. However, many people are not doing that and neither am I. What makes me happy in work? Before I find a solution, I should first know what makes me unhappy in a workplace. There are some things that make me unhappy such as working in order to survive and thinking it as a mandatory task. I think I can make myself happier if I thought this in another view.

I usually work in order to survive. I think that this is the most important thing. However, to change this situation, I’d have to know what I really want to do or what I like to do. For instance, I can acquire knowledge and experience for my future. I am currently working at a Korean market. I work in the office but sometimes I fix the cash registers, write up important documents, and I work like an engineer. I gain experience from fixing stuff. I think this makes me happy in work.

Furthermore, working feels like a mandatory task. If I think that I have to do it, I get stressed out and not work properly. In order to fix this feeling, I should make the most out of everything and stay positive. For instance, I feel sort of happy when I get my paycheck. I feel proud when I get paid for working so hard. Also by acquiring special skills from my current job, I can use it to put it on my resume.

These two are very similar, but what I emphasized here are the most important things that I have to remember. It will make me happy and increase operation efficiency.

Happiness in Education #2

Have you ever thought about yourself or your happiness? There is a Korean saying that “a genius can’t beat a hard worker, but the hard worker is defeated by a person who finds it delightful to work.” I think that people should try to be happy, and enjoy in whatever they do over his or her lifetime. Actually, I am doing exactly that right now. I think that there are several steps towards being happy in education and in also my life. I have to know who I am, what I like to do, and what I want to do in my future. Those are the basic kinds of steps to being happy and satisfied.

First of all, I should know who I am, which means what type of a person I am. I found out who I was a few years ago. Actually, it had taken so long time to figure out who I was and what I liked. I believe that I am a very thoughtful person. I usually think a lot before I do something, but I don’t act enough. I swear that I need to change this bad habit, but it is not that easy. I keep trying.  I think that taking on more actions rather than just doing nothing would improve my life. Also I like challenging myself. I really like to make something out of nothing and solving hard problems. While in the process of doing so, I can also think a lot. It gives me self satisfaction after accomplishing complex tasks. Therefore my major is computer science because I like the processes of programming. If something is wrong in a program, I would think about it and then fix it correctly.

After knowing who I am, I need to do my main tasks which are completing homework assignments and class work. Doing homework correctly is very important to being happy in class. Being an international student, the homework is not that easy. The homework assignments are usually reading a chapter of text or writing about something that I read. It is not that hard for most students, but I am an exception. I need to memorize a lot vocabulary words in order to speak English, and always keep mind in my grammar use. If I do my homework assignments correctly, I feel happy in class. In order to do so, I would read the textbook more carefully while jotting down notes to help better understand texts. By doing so, it’d give me confidence and reassurance. However, it takes long time because my reading is slower than other students who are not international students, so it can be bothersome sometimes. However, I try to follow this regimen as much as I can because I know it’d make me feel comfortable and happy in class.

Furthermore, I need to concentrate on class work. Before doing so, I’d need to prepare for class. Prepare what, you ask? Well first, I would review my homework from the night before and read the texts carefully again even if I have read it more than five times. Also I would try to memorize the key points. I find it to be very helpful during class. Sometimes the professors want to read the text during class and then discuss about it. Therefore, if I prepare myself for class beforehand by reviewing the textbook and homework, I know it would make me feel confident. However, I do not do it always follow this regiment. These days, I sort of changed it by studying in school rather than doing so at home. I wake up at 7 AM and then come to school by 9 AM. I go to library, and read the text book or study for one to two hours. When I do it, I feel happier because it is like I took a long to solve some really hard problem and finally I did it. I think the change of environment gave me more motivation and concentration.

             In order to concentrate during the classes, I try not to be stressed out at work. I work for more than 40 hours per week. Since I work long hours, honestly I do get stressed out, but I try to make the best out of it. If I work more than usual, I get a little more stressed out. That means I get tired which affects my studying in bad way. I cannot wake up on time and think properly. I get disappointed with myself and it creates a urge to quit my job. However, I think about the reasons why I need to work because I have to support myself. For instance, I have to make several payments such as, tuition, monthly car payments, and insurance. Also I need to have some pocket money. By not working, it’d make my life a whole lot easier, but I know have to do it. Looking on the positive side, I know that it’ll increase my responsibility and experience level for the future.

             Thus, I talked about what I try to do in order to be happy. After I stuck it out through the hard times, I am anticipating what the future has in store for me. There may be other ways that can make me feel happy. I think these that I have emphasized here are the more common and important steps that can control my feelings. I think that if I do these steps consistently, I will be happy in education and affect the rest of my lifetime. If I study hard and enjoy myself, I believe that it will help me get a decent job and future. Overall, I think the most important aspect to my life is to be self-satisfied.

Happiness in Education

            Are you happy in school? How do you feel while you’re in class? Do you know who you are? I ask these questions to myself. Knowing who I am is very important and it relates on getting jobs and in obtaining an education. Before making any decisions, I need to know I am. When I did acknowledge myself and I was able to get a sense of direction towards my goals in life. Here it is what I am currently doing to make myself happier in school and working my life into stages toward my goals.

            Actually, I found out who I was a few years ago. I believe that I am a very thoughtful person. I usually think a lot before I do something, but I don’t act enough. I needed to change this bad habit. I thought that taking on more actions rather than just doing nothing would improve my life. I like challenging myself. My hobbies are to make something out of nothing and fixing or solving hard problems. It gives me self satisfaction after accomplishing complex tasks. Therefore, my major is computer science because I like the process of programming. So if something is incorrect in a program, my job would be fixing it which requires great thinking skills.

            Classes can be hard when you don’t understand what’s going on. By doing my homework correctly, it makes me happier in classes. Being an international student, sometimes I don’t understand what we talk about in class and I feel terrible after class. By doing so, it gives me confidence. Usually when professors discuss the homework in the class, I feel reassured because I understand what’s going on. I feel happy and great all day long.

            Before classes start, I try to prepare for class work by reviewing my notes and homework. By doing so, I can work together in class with my fellow classmates and not fall behind. I am still trying to do it, but I honestly don’t do it every day. I know that it will make me feel comfortable and confident, but it gets kind of annoying. I have a tendency to get lazy and lose motivation. However, I am slowly working on changing myself.

Actually I would love to do that, but I have to support myself. I have to pay for my car, insurance, tuition, and have some pocket money. So, I try to find happiness at work. However, I can’t always be smiling or feel happy. Sometimes I get really tired, mad, stressed and annoyed. After a bad day at work, when I go to school the next day, I can’t concentrate in class which makes me feel so bad and unhappy.

            There may be other ways that can make me feel happy. I think these that I emphasized are the more common and important steps that can control my feelings.
