Course 3: PL 102 - One Key Metric (Discussion 5)

@GlenM

1. Please post here why this goal of choosing a single metric is important. Think of how this is important in your professional life, but also how this can help you personally as well.
It helps you to focus more, organize, make decisions and drive better performance

2. Read chapter 12 and do the exercise where you imagine it is the end of your life. If comfortable, post what you imagine people saying to you at the conclusion of the exercise. If not comfortable, then please share how the exercise impacted you. What you imagine them telling you is your compass. If you are acting in a way that is consistent with what they are saying, then it is very likely that you will end up living a meaningful life. Remember to listen to and follow this compass so as not to be distracted by the clock.
This exercise reminds me of what I want to be, the things I want to accomplish, the things that matters the most to me. It reminds me to focus and work on these things and create the change I wish to make

1) posted to the 3 key things thread! And it is important as it makes sure you have set goals

2) this was an emotional experience for me as i know a few people nearing the end of their life now. It was a great form of self reflection and made me think about the impact i have on other around me 💕

1. Work with your team or mentor and identify the key metric you are hoping to help move. Post daily (or the cadence that makes sense) in the 3 key things thread to highlight what you are doing to help us move 7 Cups forward.

I have spent around 1 year in 7cups now and the 3 things I learned which in turn I always try to provide it back with my earnest efforts are -

1. Open Mind - I can't stress enough how important it is to have a wide outlook

2. Respect - Each needs to be treated with respect and warmth

3. Training - The training of 7cups are great to understand the basic aspects of the human psyche.

2. Read chapter 12 and do the exercise. If comfortable, post what you imagine people saying to you at the conclusion of the exercise. What you imagine them telling you is your compass.

Well, I did give it a thought about how would people react to me missing from the space they live at. I see myself sitting on my grave and see people around me talking about me. Honestly as humorous or dark as it sounds - I behave to people as if I am already dead. I try to be as warm and comforting as I can.

A single metric is important because it helps everyone to focus on one goal at a time instead of clouding up ideas to many metrics. It helps in moving forward efficiently and quickly.

2. (TW: themes that deal with death) Read chapter 12 and do the exercise where you imagine it is the end of your life.

This exercise opened my eyes. Starting with the end makes a huge difference that way we can work with what we have got. It made me realise how short life is and how much valuable time i am wasting living in a life filled with denial and repression. So, it is time to kick back in life and be there for my family and see them comfortable and livingg a full life too.

Identify the key metric you are hoping to help move.

The key metric I am hoping to help move is in listening - I want to see it grow into everyone and become an approach in everyday life, I want to see the listening skill become even more valuable and priceless. I would like to see 7cups reach more and more people out there like unicef or the UN visiting other countries and physically listening to people. I want to see people heal and be stronger than ever by expanding more on the idea of listening.

There are 2 parts to this discussion. Â

Increasing warmth in my conversations with others is a key metric that I am working on. I'm keeping my subtle insults (flaming) to a minimum, which is more difficult than it sounds for someone who has grown up in a toxic competitive gaming culture.

This one is hard for me because most of my friends are online, and if I died, I don't even know if they would know. I assume that there is no way they would know. I guess I have a couple real life friends and they might say they wished they had gotten to know me better.

1.�key metric I wish to focus on:

Encourging interaction within the internship teen

Get more people to enroll in the honors project

Ensure inters get the guidance they need

It helps one stream line the goals and helps us to focus on the things that are important for attaining them and we are not distracted by other things

2. Very intersting exersise.It made me think back about how ive lived my life and what i left behind. Right now I feel ive not done much and there is so much more that could have been done from my end. I have lived a good life, helping people etc. But ive always left my ego take over at certain instaces. Makes me wonder if there would be people who have been hurt by that. Certainly something for me to work on.

1) I am working on joining a leadership role here.

2) I take utmost care to follow up with all my members weekly/monthly varying from member to member.

3) Working with my mentor on honing my skill as a listener.

These are the key 3 things I posted.

The key metric that I am hoping to move 7 Cups forward from is - working on myself as a listener. Although I feel that I am a good listener there is always room for improvement.

Mother: First of all, she would not be able to believe that I am no more & would cry her heart out whilst praying a lot for my soul & peaceful departure.

Fiancee: She was a pure soul & was an amazing partner. I always thanked God for bestowing upon me a girl as she & I will forever be grateful to Him. It is one of the painful & greatest losses for me. If I could ask God for one thing directly, I would have asked Him to bring her back to me. She completed me in every way & was like my missing puzzle pieces. Now, I am incomplete forever because no one can complete me like how she did.

Friends: Angel was a wonderful friend. We were indeed lucky to have her in our lives.

I think the key metric that I chose to go by is being patient and helping other people wh jus joined. I have realised that throughout the months that I have been a listener, I have grown so much as an individual and also a listener. But I would have never reached where I am now, without all the leaders helping me throughout the journey. I started out as a beginner, clueless about what 7 Cups was all about but the kind nature of the people here brought me to where I am now. In real life, I have begun to notice all the little things people do for me and how it impacts and makes a dent(even if it's a small one) in my life story. In the context of all of this, I would like to spend my time giving back what I have received to people that need it the most.

Really deep things ahead!!

I have always lived my life so far (I am 17), thinking of how I would like to have an impact on people. I would always imagine when someone looked back at me, they could remember how much I have impacted them to grow and develop. I always know that I would never do harm to anyone on purpose and I hope I don't in the future. I want people to remember me as a person who really meant something.

I think I want to get better at my skills before moving up in things I do on cups. I think that would help mE go farther on cups and would help me overcome the road blocks that my disabilty put at me.

2 I would liked to be remember as outgoing nice , always gives 110 % and always willing to help my fellow listeners.
