Whole Life Paper

Albara Alshammari ENGR 1201/004 09/21/2012

Introduction This paper would deal with the various aspects in the human life. Every person in this world has a passion. This passion corresponds to his behaviors throughout this life. I also have a passion which has been developed inside me from my childhood. Later section is the description of my passion and how it grew inside me and how. My Passion Do not destroy your toys! I heard this command repeatedly during my entire childhood because I was addicted to taking stuff apart to see how it worked. My parents did not like what I used to do in the first. However, they understood why I damaged my toys. One day they told me I had a spirit of passion to see what is inside toys and how it worked. My habit was looking for any device or a machine that has a problem to fix it. As I grew up, I was improved by fixing stuff. During that time, I became a grease monkey for my family. My father has influenced me a lot throughout my life especially in implanting the love of mechanics. My father always fixes his cars in our garage back home in Saudi Arabia. When I was in the fifth grade, we had a car that break down almost every month. He liked to gather me and my older brothers to watch and help him while he is fixing the car. It became a routine for us to help him. During high school I was the oldest son in the house because my other brothers were studying in college. I started fixing the car alone. This childhood task generated in me a motivation and an interest in the same field. And I realized with the passage of time that this is the kind of field I wanted to adopt later in my life. For instance, I replaced our car's radiator and many other parts related to the temperature gauge. My father taught me many engineering skills in our workshop in our house. He is professional in any hands on work. I consider his skills as a gift for me. When the skills and the love of mechanics combine with the experience, it gives me opportunity to be a successful engineer due to the passion that I have for mechanics. Influence and Experiences I have seen many people around me who have influenced me in my life. At the very start I used to think that people cannot decide their career on the basis of their passion. It seems to be a useless thing for me. Whenever I look around successful people I wonder how much they have worked hard to reach there. At times I think that I am wasting my time even in having lunch, I should have worked more instead of eating. But off course I am wrong, this is with life and has to be done with life. I think in order to choose a career for oneself; one should always consider himself and analyze his one personality. This allows the person to know what he is capable of and what he wants in life. I have seen many people how merely think what they want instead they do what their parents what them to do. Mostly at early age individuals are unable to determine what they actually seek in life, what interests them, and what are the kinds of professions which they might want to adopt later in their lives? All these questions need to be answered in order to determine success in life. Let me share my experience with you. I think in order to choose a career for oneself; one should always consider himself and analyze his one personality. This allows the person to know what he is capable of and what he wants in life I and my friend were looking for colleges to apply for. I got admission in

computer sciences and he then changed his mind from pre-engineering to biology (medical) because of his parents advice and suggestion. I told him that he might not be able to study medical and he has inclination towards mechanical engineering but he said that his parents asked him to do this and he agreed. Later on, he faced a lot of problem while studying medical sciences. From there I realized that a person should do whatever he thinks he is capable of and proceed towards what they actually want to do in life. Therefore, the factors while choosing the career for oneself should be your opinion and capabilities. Parents should guide the children about right and wrong and should show them directions but they should not enforce their opinions on them. Children should be left free in order to choose the right choice for themselves. No child must be forced in adopting a certain profession as this leads to failure in life. It is indeed a fact that a child flourishes in a profession of his own interest. Chances of success are almost 70% when individuals work as per their choice. Impacts of My Passion This world has been advancing day by day. People are contributing more towards the wealth fare of the people. There are a large number of individuals who have contributed towards the betterment of society in general through expertise in their own field. I also aim to considering my field talents and ultimately contributing towards the society in general. The three major impacts of my passion towards the society are: Contribution in term of Machine Optimization

The scope of mechanical engineering is increasing. I can contribute to the society in the form of working for the electricity producing machine making. This would help the world to have more optimized machinery and this will eventually help to reduce the cost for the country. (www.springer.com 2012)

Work as a Mechanical Engineer Management

I can also work as a manager in the mechanical engineering field. It is very important that the leaders should be leading the team. If they are not well aware with the work environment then it is impossible to provide something for the society.

Contribute through Welfare Work

I can also contribute in the society by helping the people with free as a community work. As I have the talents from the very start. Therefore, this would make me satisfied and helpful for others, and also my skills can be put to better use through such activities.

Social Issues Affecting my Passion There are some issues, which might affect my passion. Economy - Our country does not have a strong economy. This effects the production of machinery as the resources are not enough and thus result in the outsourcing of these tasks to the outer world which means to the other countries. This decreases the opportunities of these jobs in the country. The jobs for mechanical engineering would decrease.

Scope - The scope is changing day by day. At time information, technology was not that much in scope but now it is in high scope. Similarly, mechanical engineering is in scope right now but it is not granted that for how long this will remain. This might affect my passion. New Advancements - This society is changing. New advancements are growing. The students who would study after 10 years would have more knowledge as things are changing. So this might affect my passion in a way that the other people could have more new knowledge exposure.

Skills and Knowledge For a person to succeed he should have better knowledge of the work area he is interested in. knowledge means to have a sound information regarding anything. Skills and capabilities are the things which take that knowledge and use it in a useful way. The combination of all the above mentioned traits helps in acquiring success. Each of these is of utmost importance whenever such a scenario is taken in consideration. (www.springer.com 2012) I have a very soft communication style. Which I believe is reasonable for the conduction of this task. This could help me a lot in making effective relationship with the outsiders. Even though at times my working style can get quite bossy but still the way I communicate regularly provides people with a comfortable environment and I believe it becomes very easy for them to communicate with me regarding any issue. But one default which I find in my speaking style that the talking speed is relatively high which sometime makes it difficult or for the listener to understand what I am talking about, but this in no way causes an ineffective or unethical communication as this can be overcome when a mutual friendly discussion is going on. As a mechanical engineer, it is very important to have well known technical and managerial knowledge, with which I would be able to set a moral for my team members. I have a bossy linguistic style, which sometimes does not provide useful as the team members and other people working under do not feel free to convey their suggestions and views about the project and its progress. This becomes an obstacle between my team workers, and me and with time, I have realized that this needs to be abolished as this behavior ultimately affects the working of the project and affects the outcome in general. Other areas, which have to be in one in order to excel the passions, are determination. I think that if I want to fulfill my dream, I should be determining about my passion and set my goals. After this, no one could be an obstacle. I could easily get my ambition and goal of life. I need to solve my problems, improve my tactics of getting work done. These need to be catered and taken care of as soon as possible because I see only these things as my weaknesses which ultimately affect my greater goal in life. Even though at times my working style can get quite bossy but still, the way I communicate regularly provides people with a comfortable environment and I believe it becomes very easy for them to communicate with me regarding any issue .Hence, the whole idea can be summarized such that once an individual is able to determine his/her goals then achieving them are not very hard. One must remain motivated and determined towards their goal and try to overcome their weaknesses. Jobs
