Sixth day lecture

Creativity 

On the fifth lecture we were told to make a thing or an ornament which is creative and innovative by using some  useless things at our home.

I did a pencil by  pen. simply broke a pencil and made a  pencil.Sir was not so impress at my little ornament, because when the rod is over we cannot use them again. so that was the mistake i did.

Then by looking others creative ideas, i learnt that "thinking out of the box" will make us creative.

Then we step on to:

   

Evaluating your skill and setting priorities 

- identify your correct skill, unless you can successfully identify and communicate your skill with a potential person, all the odds are against you in getting something you wish.

• As you can see from the diagram, employer want graduates to have "soft skill". The lighter bars indicate how desirable each skill is to employers, and the darker bars indicate how few students actually demonstrate these skills

• "Soft skills" are skills such as oral communication and teamwork, which are less easily quantifiable than academic qualifications. 

- if we successfully identify our skill, then life will be easy such as:

• help you to evaluate your current profile of strengths and weaknesses 
• relate academic skills to life and employment skills
• set priorities for skills development
• monitor your progress

Fifth day lecture

Importance of being "Skilled"

• To be success in degree
• to be success in employment

*Success is impotent to a man because he strive for his own goal. 

Five study-skill components 

1. Self-awareness and self-evaluation
2. Awareness of what is required
3. Method, organization, strategies
4. Confidence and permission
5. Familiarity: practice and habit

 * When we attend to an interview first they check are we "skilled or not". They check this by quality attributes such as:

• Approaches his/her work with safety foremost in their mind.
• Reliability
• Flexibility
• Loyalty
• Cooperation

If we pass in this question, then we will straightly assign a job.

*The most impotent element of academic success at University is to be balance

• to be balance means. 50% academic studies and 50% extra curricular activity.
