by ToneMany of my motivations in life stem from a desire to acquire knowledge. If I ever won the lottery, I would use the money to fund a lifetime's worth of college degrees because I love to learn, and dive into the "why" and the "how" a particular item may have achieved its goal or did not. Studying success can help to develop successful habits within yourself and dissecting failures can help give warning to particular actions or behaviors. There is no such thing as too much knowledge! Ignorance is not bliss.
Your brain is like a computer, and the more information it has to process, the greater probability it will have to determine a favorable outcome for you. Whenever I start a new job, one thing I like to do is talk to the managers, general managers, higher ups, etc. to find out: 1) How successful the business is/isn't. 2) What that business has done to maintain that success/lack thereof. 3) How I can personally do my share to contribute to the success of that particular business. Obviously, if one is hired to do a job then adequate work will help with #3, but going that extra step to elevate not only that business but yourself and your work habits will not only help to build success for that business, but it will help to build success within yourself. Going an extra step for a job may not feel like it's worth it if there is no instant gratification, but you are building habits that will carry on with you to future opportunities. So why am I saying all of this? I want to help deliver knowledge to you through this blog. I want to contribute to enrichment and enhancement of anyone that reads this in a positive way. At a job interview recently (recently meaning within the last year), the producer asked me about my own personal goals for myself, and how acquiring that particular job would help me to get to where I want to be. I could be inspirational and say that I said everything that was in my head in the moment, but in reality I froze and lost the job opportunity because of that. Here's my second chance. My dream, my ultimate goal in life is to have a voice loud enough to influence others. I went to school to get a degree in English and Creative Writing so I could articulate all of the ideas in my head, and put them to paper. I want to be able to create a platform where I can not only spread my knowledge with others, but also let others share their knowledge with each other. I know through social media that is way easier in this day and age than ever, but I dream of having a multimedia production company that will let everyone have a voice, and can be a tool for change or at least the opportunity for change. Every person has a story. Every other person can learn from another's story. This will be the start of that. One idea that I can't wait to get started on with this is monthly interviews with random people, in all walks of life. I am currently working on a few ideas for that. If you have a story, if you want to be heard, don't hesitate to shoot me a message. Let us all create a symbiotic relationship through this platform where all knowledge is welcomed with open arms, and we can start to achieve the dream I was to afraid to tell in a job interview. Thank you. If you want to be heard, I can be reached at: [email protected] @LifeOfTone216 on Instagram
