Philosophy of Values and Ethics
The Failure of Structure | Philosophy of Values and Ethics |
Everyone brings to the world their own talents, gifts, and abilities. In my early twenties, I realized a personal truth, that there are no limitations to my own personal success other than those I would choose to inflict upon myself.
I try to live by the golden rule of do onto others as you would want them to do to you. Many people think I am opinionated and direct. Yes, I do want people to tell me what they think and be direct with me therefore I am that way with most people. I guess you could say I don’t like to sugar coat things. Tell me what the problem or issue is that way I know exactly how to fix it. Where I go wrong is being too direct. I don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings by being direct but at the same time there are some people that just don’t get what you are saying unless you are being direct.
I used to be employed at a company that provided IT procurement needs for those in governmental, educational and not-for-profit organizations as well as other well known name companies throughout the United States. The company sold everything from paper and ink cartridges to the world class HP Enterprise Products that you needed to be certified to sell. I was twenty years old when I started working for the company. I was hired on, along with another older woman, to do work as an accounts payable clerk. My work included paying and filing bills, reconciling the bank accounts, the intake of all orders and then tracking them for our clients.
After only a few weeks of working the owner asked if I would like to call vendors to get pricing for a bid that was coming up for some desktop computers. I didn’t know much about IT procurement coming into this position but I am always willing to learn new skills and broaden myself through other people and their knowledge, so I excitedly accepted the offer. The owner went on to tell me more in depth about the company. She told me that
