It is our second week of class. In all my classes I assigned two things on BB

Introduce your self

and read and reflect oneither Emerson Self Reliance or Conquer Accouning

With two days left be fore the next class day Thursday, and a three day weekend behind us, it is interesting to see what has happened to date.

A minority of students in each class have introduced themselves.

Only a few, as in two to four, have read and replied to the reading and reflect assignment. Yet a three day weekend passed when there was amply opportunity to reply.

My point here is that yes the Early Bird Does Catch the Worm.  Procrastination does not pay. 

With plenty of time, three days, it would have been easy to write a reply to both, let it sit over night and then re write and submit.

But few did this. 

When one reads Conquer Accounting, one of the 12 steps is Practice. I highlight four distinctly different fields of endeavor,

tennis, boxing, classic piano, car racing

But when you read quotes from each individual in the field, they all say the same thing

Practice!

Yes writing about your self as a intro is practice,, it is the kind of practice you need before a job interview.

How many of you have a prepared two minute talk on

Yourself

A current event in accounting

Globalization

Economy of San Antonio

This kind of preparation will put you ahead of other college students vying for a job.

But I can only suggest

You have to make it happen.
