Episode 10: My ReflectioN *~@~*  

Posted by ArEtaS SaRet



(1) The most meaningful modules that I took in this course is the one about the most probable occupation for us and about the leadership. By this, I learned what kind really suited me. And fortunately, according to my test, IT, somehow, matches my interest. The module about leadership, somehow, lead me into realization that not all can be pleased by how you lead. That there are certain kinds of leadership that can appeal a certain person. Although there are certain kinds of leadership, a leader must always have the fundamental characteristics. he must be first and foremost responsible. He must be trustworthy and goal-oriented. A leader must always be determined and can control his members well.

(2) My personal development led me to a great achievement. Right now, I'm more than what I am before. Because of Persef, I learned more about myself. I develop a sense of responsibility in whatever I do.

*My evaluation about myself during class is a person who is quite inquisitive that sometimes I am a little noisy, but I know that i have contributed something and I learn something from every class meeting.

(3) By now, I'm being more aware of my actions and decisions. My inquiries about life and why I ended up in such a course, were kind of fill up. Persef let me realized that maybe my decision was right when I came to this course, although I am not really good in computer. I really believe that I can pull this off, this degree course. My interest was really related in art, I never imagined myself in such a course with complex computer problems and etc. I was not even listening in programming before. But now, I'm beginning to listen and understand more. Not only because of Persef, but also because of the other courses. As I find new knowledge about things, I have develop a sense of decisive manners. Now, I can reflect more than before. And somehow, I understand myself more. I learned to love myself and what I have.

(4) Because of Persef, I had a quick glimpse of the college environment, especially about the activities of the students. That college is hard but there are great things and events in it too. It let me realized that my course what not such a bad idea after all. Because at first, I was really doubting my abilities and if I will ever learn to love my course. And right now, I'm loving it although it's really hard. This must be my toughest experience I will ever have, but this is also the most exciting part of my life. Persef let me realized the different way to deal with things, especially about being a leader. It helped me learned a lot of things. And right now, as I just said, I'm loving my course and I will do everything to graduate.

Episode 9: What I learned in lifE *~@~*  

Posted by ArEtaS SaRet


Do we have a purpose, is a question one will often ask
Is there a higher power out there, some greater task
The truth will hurt many, not only a few
People have a hard time dealing with that which is true
There is nothing greater that watches your back
Deal with it, stop crying and build your own stack
You are responsible for the life that you lead
It is not someone else’s fault when you don’t get what you need
If one wants the stars, they must be grabbed by one’s own hand
Nothing in life is freely given there is no promised land




My life right now is a blur...
I don't know what will happen to me
...when I reach the state that I can be seen
I can be noticed
I will be known to who I am
To what I am built of
To where I am from
And what can I do...
To make a name of my own.


Persef let me realize that in what we do right now will reflect what we will become in the future. Though, I'm not sure, I am beginning to understand myself more. That in life everything is your choice, your decision. Whatever you will be tomorrow depends on what have done today. To move on in life, we must have a stern resolve, have a plan for our future, so that we won't end up missing. We don't up miserable. For now, the greatest challenge for me is to find myself, find my companions and find what I ought to be.


Life is hard, that is a fact that people have to understand
And of course there are times when you need a helping hand
No man is an island, and I totally agree
My problem lies with people who only want to lean on me
When you never hold your self up, you deny yourself improvement
If you let your muscles atrophy, then you can never have positive movement
A life without a child and with no betterment is a life wasted
That is a life that was smelt and looked at but never tasted
I have given you enough wisdom to ponder for the day
Question everything or forever frozen you’ll stay

Episode 8: My Ideal LeadeR *~@~*  

Posted by ArEtaS SaRet

Likable
Of course, he needs to be likable to be an effective leader.
There is no leader elected because he is not liked.
He must be first and for most be LIKED!!!

Energetic
He needs to be energetic, so his members will be energetic as well :D
If the leader is sleepy, would it steer up his members to work well?

Always there
A group is lead by a leader of course!
If he is not there, who would lead them?
A leader wouldn't abandon his members!
That is the code of a true leader!

Deliberative
He/She can deliberate the works with his members well
He is not just pointing nonsense things or he lets the work to be done by one person.
He should not do all the work either.
That is a big NO!!!
He must know how to divide the work and deliberate them in each members

Excelling
It really doesn't mean that a leader must be excellent or something.
He just needs to be a little bit knowledgeable.
He must at least strive for excellence.
As a leader, that is your goal.

Responsible
The most important characteristic of a leader for me is Responsibility.
Without this, you don't have the right to be a leader.
Really, it would be insulting for the members if the leader is not responsible.
If you are chosen as a leader, the responsibility is already there
So being a hypocrite about it would be really revolting.

Episode 5: An Interview *~@~*  

Posted by ArEtaS SaRet

Name: George Thomas

Age: 30

Designation: Corporate HR Manager - Compensation & Benefits


How long have you been working at Infosys?

7+ years

What are the aspects of the work culture at Infy that you like?

From how I see it, there are three dimensions of the work culture at Infosys. The physical environment - is quite outstanding, the social and cultural dos give the feeling of belonging and most importantly the work ethic which provides the opportunity to perform and the recognition for performance.

Can you explain why you decided to take up a work stint at Infosys?

There were a couple of things that convinced me that Infy was the right place for me. It was a place where I could get my hands dirty - the exposure was tremendous in terms of the breadth and depth of work. Unlike most other business solutions company this was a company started by IT professionals and it reflects in all that the company does.

Can you share some of your experiences working here?

Looking back I am convinced that over the past 7 years my expectations prior to joining Infosys were only reinforced through what I saw, learnt and worked on.

What strikes you about Infosys as a company?

The Company wants to make a difference in the way it does things. Be it in the way any stakeholder is treated - customers, employees, investors, the vendors, the gardeners, the housekeeping staff, the drivers who bring and take employees back - the list is endless. Similarly the effort in the detail that goes into for example the Infosys annual report or even for that matter CSR activities, both as a company and as individuals, stands out clearly.

Episode 4: Simply, LovE *~@~*  

Posted by ArEtaS SaRet

Love, a simple word with a lot of meanings.
So many that it became unbeknown to us.
Misinterpretations that cause a lot of disasters.
People don't know what's the true meaning of it.
They only say that it is warm and the cause of happiness.
But don't they know that it can be lethal?



It can hurt

...and it will be hard to heal

....
....
........
................


----------------------------------------------------------------------------->Love, though fails

That it so painful<------------------------------------->Is worth it<-------------------------->

<---------------------------->Is a gift that can never be replaced------------------------------>


For me, love is more than feelings of happiness. It is a commitment. If we are not prepared, then we should not love at all, though that would be quite impossible. For us, it is a natural tendency to fall in love and fall out of love. But falling out of love doesn't mean we didn't love at all, we did; but, we just kind of fall out of it. There are certain levels of love: infatuation, romantic and true love. For teenagers like us, for most of us, we are at the level where in we are easily infatuated with different kinds of people. We commonly called it as "crushes". This, more or less, for me, is the lowest kind of love. People can easily be infatuated because of the looks and etc. Romance on the other hand tackles the sweetness of two couples. They share the same interest and has a greater understanding but still no yet on the commitment side. This kind of love is more of the adjustment period. The last and definitely the one we all looking for is true love. It is a a once in a life time experience, for me. I think true love can only be with one person and not with two or more person. That would not be quite possible for a person may only love one person truly in a lifetime. In true love, commitment occurs. Although there are quarrels, they accept each other. Some of us might think that it would really take a decade to find true love but surely, it would take more for some people. For those people who just took a decade, you are quite lucky!


*It might take a our whole life to find our true love. *
*It might take us a lot of heartache before we find it. *
*But definitely there is someone there just right for us...and it's worth waiting for.*

To all people:
If can't find love from someone. Just turn around and see....
that it can also be gained from your family and friends :D

Episode 3: Etiquette is a NEED? *~@~*  

Posted by ArEtaS SaRet

Etiquette, one aspect of decorum, is a code that-----governs the---- expectations of social behavior,----- according to the----------------contemporary

conventional norm
within a------society, social class or group. Usually unwritten, it ------------------------------------------ may ---------------------------------be

codified in written----------form. ------------Etiquette usually reflects formulas of ------------ conduct in which society
or tradition have invested.


In everything we do, is this being implemented?
Really, I don't think so...
But yeah, as they say, we should have this thing.

So, as we have discussed about this etiquette, I have learned so many things that are quite shocking and even revolting in a way. An example of this is when a man can let or not let woman seat when he is already seated. I think, a true gentleman would let a woman sit. Since this day, I always observed men when they will let a woman sit or not...And happly, Filipinos are kind of a gentlemen, for a few will only not lend their sit :D So be happy everyone...


Well, here are some that I really would acknowledge...(I got it from wiki :D)

Etiquette codes prescribe and restrict the ways in which people interact with each other, based on respect for other people and the accepted customs of a society.

Modern etiquette codifies social interactions with others, such as

  • Greeting relatives, friends and acquaintances with warmth and respect
  • Refraining from insults and prying curiosity
  • Offering hospitality to guests
  • Wearing clothing suited to the occasion
  • Contributing to conversations without dominating them
  • Offering assistance to those in need
  • Eating neatly and quietly
  • Avoiding disturbing others with unnecessary noise
  • Following established rules of an organization upon becoming a member
  • Arriving promptly when expected
  • Comforting the bereaved
  • Responding to invitations promptly
  • Accepting gifts or favors with humility and to acknowledge them promptly with thanks or refusing the gift politely

Episode 2: My Personal Mission StatemenT *~@~*  

Posted by ArEtaS SaRet

A Life for me is having HOPE.
For this reason, I keep hoping that someday I would find my own happiness
This, for me, is a mission.
Something I MUST fulfill.
This reason is enough for me to keep on living
Until I find my true happiness.


~My Mission includes~

my Family and Friends.
I want to support them as much as I could.
They are the bringer of my current wellness
...and my current self

To be able to to graduate in college with flying colors.
Hopefully, there will be a lot of colors, for I love the mixture of a thousand colors.
They represent the difference and uniqueness of each individual.
And when I graduate, I want to show everyone that I have my own color
The color that will distinguish me from the rest.


I may be a little bit odd about certain things
Like having no personal goals
But I do.
And that is to be someone in this world.
I want to be the best in my field
And whatever it is...
I want to have a mark on this world!
