Hi Anita,
I have been very busy lately and this is why, I have been pursuing this scholarship in business psychology offered by UNICAF and University of South Wales, this is my personal statement to them as per their request. can you read and advise your feedback before end of tomorrow which is my deadline.
———————————————-
I am a holder of a BSC in Commerce with a high interest in Psychology, this is why am applying for this scholarship in business psychology, during my studies we have been introduced to the terms of organizational behavior and multiple studies in management, and throughout my work experience I have noticed the importance of these aspects, that we were just covering the peels during our undergraduate studies. My high interest in psychology, arose form my interest in human nature, the motives and drives to attempt actions that influence themselves and others, people I know would say I have a philosophy in life, I would say that am interested in the life we live as is, and the ability to inspire change to improve our life!
Quote – “Business Psychology is the study and practice of improving working life. It combines an understanding of the science of human behavior with experience of the world of work to attain effective and sustainable performance for both individuals and organizations” – end quote
Reading about philosophers like Plato, reading philosophy books like “Beyond Good and Evil” by Nietzsche, their aroused my interstate in psychology, reading about the human mind, the affects of memories, the suppressing of which and the fact of it being repressed had amazed me, the subconscious mind and its affect in our day to day life, even without us noticing it, the human mind ability to cognition, to process and analyze knowledge through thoughts and experiences, and finally reading about Marya Hornbacher and her book Madness described as a breakthrough in mental illness.
I have worked in different fields of work in different organization, dealing with public during organizing medical conferences, dealing with sales representatives and logistics coordinators in multinational organizations, while working for a company in the field of medical appliances, dealing with clients, programmers, and support teams, while working for two different IT companies, dealing with more than eight branches in addition for the head office, while working in the field of quality assurance; all that have enabled to meet and comprehend different types of management styles and employees minds.
Working with my own project and creating my own team of translators, proof readers and content admins made me release the huge difference between management and leadership, teaching others and defining their week and strong points, their ability and willingness to understand and comprehend you efforts, the simple action of acknowledging someone’s work and validating it, and its effect on his effort been directed towards a unique goal had always amazed and rattled my mind.
I have recently watched Brené Brown Ted talks about the power of vulnerability and listening to shame, which you can say have changed my perspective in life, the fact that an action of creativity is the most venerable action someone can think of, putting oneself thoughts, experience and effort to be judged and contempt by others, and simply am willing to do that. I can tell you stories from the last month where I have placed myself in venerable position and the outcomes had always amazed me, the positive one had pushed me to move forward, the negative ones had made me question and search for more answers, but I would not and will simply place myself in this vulnerable position by attaching my “Prose” here and wait for the feedback.
This is why I want to purse life in studying more about psychology, and implement which effects in business and social life, this is also why am pursuing this place in my clubs youth committee that I have just met the head of which today, I just want to inspire change!
Thoughts of a desperate mind!
I do not want to be used or labeled
to be accused of being unable
Is it hard to sin, to fall… Like a toy from hell!
What does it take to do a good deed?
When true self is in need!
The paradox within is flawless
The abyss below is lawless
Darkness around… Silence surround
Pain can be endured…Pain is a bliss
Causality can bound…And it is not totally round
The fresh breath of air…Is it true to the ones heir
And in all I want to be fair…Is that hardly ever despair
In the name of everything, good, bad or worse
Is the inevitable fight Ambrose
Sentries of war on guard…Centuries have passed in shard
And yet we have gone so far…far from the truth of which!
We had entitled our self with…Or the ones layers are?
Lies were not invented nor created
But within oneself are fated
Within one self is fated
I do not want to be used or labeled
to be accused of being unable
Darkness flows within, silence laws no more
As the paradox began to blend in, the abyss appears just a bin.
Knowing oneself is to be pardoned…Mastering it is the bargain.
