I am writing today to expand on an article that I wrote back in May about achieving goals. I wrote about how you should always set goals so you have something to work towards. My personal goal was to complete the Tough Mudder on June 1st. My friends and I were able to accomplish this. I am going to tell you what I learned from the event that can be applied to your goals and to your career.
The other major lesson that I learned is the
importance of teamwork. If I did not
have my team for this event there is no way I was going to finish. We worked together on some of the tough
obstacles and they pushed me the whole time to help me finish. In class group projects happen in almost
every class. I usually hate them but now
that I understand how something can get accomplished so much easier in a group I
have a new respect for group projects.
Working in groups is going to follow you into your professional career
so always make sure to work hard and find a group that has the same work ethic
as you do.
In the end, Tough Mudder was a lot of fun and I definitely
recommend people to try one. Once you do
it one time you are going to be hooked.
I have already signed up for the next one in October in North
Jersey. Just remember my lessons and not
only will you succeed at the Tough Mudder but also in life.
