NEWS THIS WEEK IN THE WORLD OF CAREER & COLLEGE READINESS
SENIORS!! MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR OCTOBER 4TH CAREER & COLLEGE KICKOFF
POSITIVITY PROJECT: WEEK 6
Perspective helps an individual make sense of the world. It provides clarity on what matters and what does not. Being able to see things from multiple angles helps individuals remain calm and learn from mistakes; they are typically highly self-aware. Reflecting on their own feelings, thoughts, and motives helps them understand and empathize with other people. These individuals are strong listeners and ask great questions. Individuals with the strength of perspective help their group get through difficult or uncertain circumstances because they’re poised and can identify opportunities for success.
It is the difference between being the best in the world and being the best for the world. Be a Mr. Jensen.
