  1. Hi, I'm Rachel Moynahan and the first signature theme and
  2. I'm going to discuss is the maximize er theme.
  3. This basically means when you take your best known qualities
  4. and make them even better.
  5. So you're not going looking into your weaknesses and trying
  6. to improve on those to become more well rounded.
  7. You're taking what you know, you're already good at and
  8. setting it in stone that you're good at it.
  9. The quote that I chose to go with this is
  10. excellence is the unlimited ability to improve the quality of
  11. what you have to offer.
  12. This is basically what I already said, You're just taking
  13. what you know is good and what you can offer
  14. the world as rick Pitino as a and making it
  15. even better than it is.
  16. Ah the second theme that I'm going to discuss is
  17. adaptability. This just means that you take things or I
  18. take things day by day and I don't really look
  19. to play in the future as much as most people
  20. do. The quote that I chose to go with.
  21. This is adaptability is a simple secret of survival said
  22. by Jessica Hagedorn.
  23. I really do believe this because change is inevitable, it's
  24. going it's going to happen and it is happening every
  25. single day in your life.
  26. And it's it's not saying that you can't go plan
  27. things, but the course of your life isn't going to
  28. go in the exact way that you wanted to and
  29. if you cannot learn to overcome change, you're really not
  30. going to be a successful person.
  31. The third strategy or yeah, strategic theme that I'm going
  32. to talk about is empathy.
  33. Empathy is something that I personally believe is very important
  34. and that I think I'm going to and well you
  35. can see because it was one of my top five,
  36. but empathy is when you can put yourselves put yourself
  37. in the shoes of the person that you're trying to
  38. understand, you're not just saying, oh I'm sorry, you're trying
  39. to understand what they're going through and feel what they're
  40. feeling. The quote that I chose about this is could
  41. a greater miracle take place than for us to look
  42. through each other's eyes for an instant.
  43. This was said by Henry, David Thoreau, but I just
  44. ran out of character something.
  45. Um again, I think this is exactly what I said,
  46. it's just more poetically put and it's prettier to say
  47. home. It's the same thing as saying, oh, put yourself
  48. in their shoes, you're looking through each other's eyes.
  49. So yeah, the fourth theme that I'm going to talk
  50. about is competition.
  51. I was not surprised when I got politician as one
  52. of my top five, I know that I'm a very
  53. competitive person and if you're not, if I'm not getting
  54. first, personally, it's just a loss to me.
  55. Seconds, the first losers was saying that I always go
  56. by um the competition doesn't have to just be, oh,
  57. I'm getting first every time it could also be comparing
  58. yourself, even if you do get first, Like if you
  59. look at the person, maybe you're even on the same
  60. team if you're looking at a person and you realize
  61. that they did way more than you or they were
  62. better than you.
  63. It just takes away from the wind and it doesn't
  64. make you feel as good as you were.
  65. The quote that I chose.
  66. Well, I guess it's not quote the lyrics, but the
  67. lyrics I chose to go, this is all I do
  68. is win.
  69. Win, win.
  70. No matter what.
  71. That's my DJ kelly and I'm going to play it.
  72. All I do is no matter what.
  73. Yeah, I love that song.
  74. It's a common pregame.
  75. A song for me.
  76. It's on all my playlists and the last thing that
  77. I'm going to talk about is the strategic theme.
  78. This basically means that you don't go down one set
  79. path when looking to find an answer.
  80. You can, you can go down multiple perspectives and find
  81. the solution to your question to your problem.
  82. The quote that I chose to go with this is
  83. strategy is about making choices.
  84. It's about deliberately choosing to be different said by Michael
  85. Porter. That's exactly what I just said.
  86. But it's really trying to be different than other people.
  87. There's some people who they'll do things the set way
  88. that they were taught like in a math class.
  89. Oftentimes when you're younger teachers will tell you this is
  90. the way that you need to do it.
  91. This is the only way that you can do it.
  92. But then you start taking different, more advanced math classes
  93. and you realize, oh I can work backwards in a
  94. problem, I can do this differently and still get the
  95. same answer as this.
  96. So you learn to be more open in your process
  97. to find an answer.
  98. Now I'm going to move on to the questions, I
  99. wrote them down.
  100. The first question was the theme that best describes me
  101. Out of the five that I got.
  102. I think that the competition theme is the one that
  103. best describes me as already said, if I'm doing anything,
  104. even just playing a simple boarding with my family, I
  105. will get better if I don't get first place and
  106. my mom is the same exact way we both always
  107. compete with each other and it, it just makes it
  108. more fun for us going too fast.
  109. The second question is the most commonly used theme.
  110. I think out of the five, the most commonly used
  111. theme in my life would be the strategic theme.
  112. I'm always using you for all my classes, especially math
  113. because I'm taking college math now and it's just way
  114. different in more advanced than I'm used to.
  115. Um, I'm just always looking for different ways to solve
  116. problems using different things using different tools, new tools.
  117. The third question is the most surprising theme that I
  118. got for me, the most surprising theme that I got
  119. in my top five was adaptability.
  120. I think that this was the most surprising because I
  121. don't really, I wouldn't say I plan for the future,
  122. but I do think about it a lot and I
  123. know that if I want to be successful in the
  124. future and I want all of my life goals to
  125. happen, that I need to start, you have to start
  126. the work now and you have to put it in.
  127. And the last question, the theme that I think I'll
  128. be using the most now that I'm in college.
  129. Again, I'm going to say the strategic theme is the
  130. one that I will be using most and have been
  131. using most again, going back to that math class, but
  132. not just that class.
  133. I also think that this class has been challenging, challenging
  134. me a lot to think how I don't how I
  135. wouldn't normally I think especially when we're talking about procrastination.
  136. Yes, especially procrastination because I am still a progressive your
  137. honestly, I think that's just because I still get things
  138. done even want to do procrastinate.
  139. But yeah, thank you, Bye.
