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

1) Trying to point the silver lining out in different situations

2) Respect others no matter their gender, religion, culture, ethnicity, etc.

3) Inclusive in involving everyone and not letting one person power over others

For me, including everyone in a situation/discussion no matter their religion, ethnicity, etc. is vital. As a business major I work with a wide range of people. A community/team works better together when all are being heard and respected for who they are and their thoughts/ideas.

2.) My best friend would talk about how kind and generous I was. How I’d always be there for her when things were rough and when things were fantastic. I genuinely always wanted to see the best in her and get her to live the best life she could. She’d talk about how I’d give her the shirt off my back and stop everything I am doing to come rescue her if there was danger. My family and other friends would talk about how loving I was, how determined and strong I was. At the same time I’d be quite stubborn in situations I didn’t need to be and I could hold a grudge just like a camel can hold its bladder.

@GlenM @GlenM chapter 12 was really insightful. there's a lot of curiosity about what people will say after you're gone. the thing is, people will always have something good and bad to say.

a key metric is important because it keeps us focused and you know what you're working towards, my key metric that i'm working towards is to be the best possible version of myself that i can be.

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.
- I want my imaginary partner say that they miss me. Every moments we had together, good or bad are really precious. It will always have a special space in their heart and brain. They will forever treasure those memories.
- I want my imaginary child to say that we had our ups and downs just like any other parent and child but they loved me and they know I love them.
- My long-term friend is my sister. She'll say something like, I loved her, though I never expressed it in words. I'll miss her annoying me with pretty much everything she does.
- I want my co-worker to say that liked working with me. They loved how it was so easy to work when we were together. They'll miss that and me so much.

~ Done the exercise, it was very helpful. It made me think how I want to be remembered and who I am as a person and who I want to become. It helped me become more self aware about how I view myself and how others perceive my actions.

A key metric I am working on right now is being able to support people in the best way possible.
I have posted in the 3 key things thread.
Choosing a single metric is important because it acts as a guiding force to creating systems that help achieve success in the best way possible.
It can help me professionally by matching my goals to an organisation's objectives and culture. Personally, it can help me evaluate actions based on my values and beliefs.

I did not have much to go on for the exercise, I can't imagine most of the people I have in my life right now being there in the future. Old age, death, distance, and a lot will be forces that may separate us. Thinking about this did not feel nice honestly. It did make me think about how most relationships tend to be short-lasting and that I want more meaningful long-term relationships. I already knew that kindness and love are things I value and actions inconsistent with them bother me.

- Do we have to judge
- We must be patient
- We must be willing to listen to others

(I felt like crying in this exercise, but I feel like I should express it)

I imagine ... my mom saying that she deserved to die, because she was a very happy person willing to help those who need it ... my mom would cry a lot if something happened to me, I suppose she would say the poem she told me before sleep, because she loves poetry, and since I was a child she recited it to me.

My brothers would cry a lot and I think they could not say a single word, they would be in shock and they would think it was just a bad dream

My boyfriend: he would say that he will always carry me in his heart and that he cannot believe that I have died, it would hurt him a lot, he would tell me that I am one more star in the sky and that he always knew that he would become one of them to be near the moon (he tells me my little star because I really like the moon and the stars)


I really think they would say those things about me, I am a very expressive person who loves to help others, I would hope to have marked lives, it would make me happy to know that I made someone happy while I was alive

1. Three things

1. Listening actively

2. Interacting with people without judging them.

3. Being an atom in the universe of 7Cups.

Focusing on one thing at a time will allow you to avoid distractions. It will also allow you to see the important things and plan them accordingly. This way, when you start off with the most important item first, you'll actually be completing your major task earlier allowing yourself to have more time to think other things through and work on them.
This is the same in professional or in your personal life. Imagine you having to multitask on two whole different tasks at the same time. Multitasking is good but not with two different categories and not all the time. By doing so you'll end up feeling tired without completing either one of them.

As a way of achieving my goals (fulfilling my dreams) I used to think that this moment is what I have. No matter what, I have to spend it happily, make it enjoyable and do everything I can do to achieve my goals. So, for me reading this chapter gave me new insights on how I can manage my tasks and better organize according to the matrix.

Hello everyone 👋👋👋👋

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. 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.

Done, It is important to use active listening skills in your personal and professional life. The single metric helps us to identify our personal growth path. it shows us that we are aware and recognise the systems.

This was an extremely heart-touching and heartbreaking exercise for me. It was quite difficult for me to read and imagine it. I have thought about my own mortality along with my loved ones too in the past. Honestly, I am not ready to contemplate it any further.
