Communication via Blog
I think the blog assignments are good for us to communicate outside the class. We can share our thoughts and feelings to our classmates and the professor. It was a good semester reading different people’s point of views and what they think of the class activity. It is also very effective to share our perception and getting comments from other students. Those comments can be helpful in the way that we can share our perspective and learn from others. It is easier for us to communicate through blog, because everyone rush out the class after the class is dismiss, so it is great for us to know each other from the blog. We also share our vision and many things that we did in class, it is cool to know some people and see if we have anything in common.
On the other hand, it is good that if we finish our blog on time, we can easily to get 20% of our grades. It is a really great assignment that we can learn from others and also earn that 20% for the grade. These blog assignments do not really need any outside research, and it is so fun to communicate through blog. I really hope this blog should remain a component for this course, because it is interesting and also give students to manage their time to finish up the blog assignment and earn those 20% of the grades.
I do not think I will continue update this blog after this semester is over, because I have other personal blog, so normally I will post all my thoughts and feelings to that blog. Hope other people did enjoy the blog assignments in this semester. It is great to read some people’s thoughts. Good Luck everyone!

I and other friends in the class decided to go to McDonald together so we won’t feel weird to ask this special order and it should be easier and faster for the employee to take all the orders at the same time. But guess our prediction is different to the real world. When we got in there and asked the lady in the counter for five hamburgers with exactly four pickles on it and five small fries with no salt. The lady looked frustrated and mad because we are ordering some weird order in her point of perspective. But she still gives us the order, but the receipt did not come out correctly. We clearly asked to have five separate receipts in the beginning, but she gives us only one receipt with five orders, and when we ask her can we get five separate receipts, she was so mad and speaks in a loud voice saying to us that “you guys should stated clearly in the beginning”. When she said that, she went in to talk to her manager and also tell the manager about the situation, while me and my friends were thinking that we did stated clearly to have five separate receipts. The manager comes out and takes care of the situation, and tells us that he will write it out and we can call him if there is any problem with the receipts. He also explains that the reason for him not to use the cashier machine is because he needs to change the transaction before and makes a new one and it will mess up their transaction process.
When the manager was writing down our five separate receipts, the lady went to the back and prepares our orders. She told the man in the back in Spanish to prepare five hamburgers with exactly four pickles on it, and then she walked to the French fries and packed five orders of small fries. We find out that she did not do anything different to the fries and she just gave us the orders. When we open up the order, we found out that the hamburgers and fries were done correctly. Before we leave the store, she still looks so mad, frustrated, and she does not look like she wants to deal us again.
The entire process deals with 3 people and it takes about 15 minutes to finish. I think the manager and the person who made the burgers for us are okay, but the lady in the counter has bad emotion. I think she should take some emotional training class to have better control with her emotion. Because customers should always be the first place no matter what did they do or ask, so if she continues to serve her customers like this, she will receive so many customers’ complaints and get fired by the store. The manager should also take care of it and warn the lady that not suppose to give customers bad attitudes. As a result, the order is pretty good but the lady should act more nicely and respect to their customers.

D.I.S.C ?
The personal profile test helped us to understand each type of leaders and also put ourselves into these four groups, and these groups are D.I.S.C. D means dominance group, the people who is in this group is emphasis is on shaping the environment by overcoming opposition to accomplish results. I means influence, and they are emphasis is on shaping the environment by influencing or persuading others. C means conscientiousness, they ae emphasis is on working conscientiously within existing circumstances to ensure quality and accuracy. S means steadiness, they are emphasis is on cooperating with others to carry out the task. After the test, I found out I am from C high S, which means I am towards conscientiousness and steadiness. I think this test is pretty accurate, because I know myself that I’m towards to these two groups. I do not really wish to be another group, but I really want to try to be a dominant leader or influence leader if I have a chance. I think it is very helpful to know our leader type, because it can help us to know more about ourselves and understand our strengths and weakness when we become the leader one day. These strengths and weakness can also help us to improve to interact with others and these will also help us with the social skills. This test is fun and also helpful at the same time. Hope everyone learn something from their leader type.

Vision with Action!!
"Vision without action is just a dream.
Action without vision merely wastes time.
Vision coupled with action can make things happen!"
It is hard for some of the people to have both vision and action, but for those who have both, they can achieve all the possible goals in their life. So it is important to have vision and action to make possible things happen!
1. The first vision I have is to get an internship in accounting field by the end of this semester. What can I do to achieve this vision? I think I should get ready with my resume and prepare to apply and get ready to have an interview and try my best to get the job. The most important thing is that I should stop my laziness, and needs to work, work and work to have a chance to get a good internship.
2. The second vision I have is to work in an accounting firm after I graduate the MS program in Baruch. I want to get a job in an accounting firm and at the same time continue to work on my MBA degree. But before all these, I wanted to pass my CPA exam first and then I will go find a job and then go to school at the same time. The action that I can do for now is to achieve my first vision and then get into the 5 year MS program and then graduate from it. Then I can prepare my CPA exam and try to ACE on those exams. Then after pass these exams then I will be able to achieve this vision.
3. The third vision that I have is to save money and buy a big house. After I am financial stable, I can bring my parents, brother, sister, and close relatives to here and let them enjoy their lives. They helped me a lot and always care about me, so I really want to give them a better environment and let them have a great time. Of course this vision will follow up after I achieve my second vision.
These three visions are following upon each other, so I really need to do it step by step. Hopefully I can achieve all these visions with the actions, then these things will happen in the future!

Decision!?
I chose the avoidance for the entire decision making process on Monday. The reason for me to choose this one is because I think it is hard for everyone to agree at the end and especially there were some conflicts between some classmates. Even though I know there is still chance for everyone to agree, and I think the test was fair and the idea of dropping the lowest midterm and curve the first exam was enough, so that is the reason why I do not want to participate the idea of changing the format. I believe some classmates did not so good because the format, so I think it is better for them to express their thoughts and make the format that is acceptable for everyone in the class including the professor. If this happen again, most likely I will choose accommodation to handle the decision making process and some conflicts.

Planning Process~~
We learned the planning process in our last class, and we also learned how to make a plan to achieve our goal. Compare the steps in the planning process to our planning of the eggs – cellent activity, I found out that we did a pretty good job even though our group’s egg breaks a little. Before we plan how to use the straws and the tapes, all the members in the group are trying to reach the goal by not breaking the egg and receive the 5 points for the next exam. By comparing to the step 1 on the planning process, we actually accomplish this step. The step 2 on the planning process, we did a pretty good job by separate the work to everyone, such as who wrote out the information on the paper, who cut the straws and getting the scissor, who is going to tape it, and who is going to drop the egg at the end. For the step 3 and step 4, we also did a nice job, because we plan out several ways to build up the model and make a discussion to see what everyone thinks about the model. After the discussion, we made an agreement to use which model, and we also choose 1 to 2 alternatives for the back up. For the last step, we did everything as we planned, but the result didn’t come out as we expect it. But I think we did a pretty good job, but the bad thing is that our egg crack a little on the top. Even though we didn’t accomplish the goal, but we learned how to make an effective planning to achieve the goal next time.
