My Analysis

I always see it as "analyzing people"

And when I say "people", it means almost everyone..

From a member of a family, an old friend or acquaintances, until someone that I just knew for quite some time, or briefly, even someone that's hanging around just long enough to be analyzed.

But off course the people who are being "analyzed" look at it differently..

Some of them don't care, some don't realize it, but most of them.. get annoyed.. :P

People will see it as being nosy,  

But then, I think there's a big difference between nosy and what I'm doing..

I do it unpretentiously..without any reason at all..

I just find it amazing how different people are..what kind of characteristics that they have, and with their characteristics facing the problems and come up with different solutions for them..

I do this to my family all the time, since forever..
Back when I was still in school,
My objects are my friends, my fellow students and teachers/lecturers..
When I got married,
They are my husband, my new family, my kids..
At the place I work..
Off course, my boss, my colleagues, the clients..

And lately, as a teacher and lecturer, my favorite objects of analyzing are..
You've probably guessed it..My Students!!

It's different though when I analyzed them..
If before I do it unpretentiously,
Now, it's somehow useful because their characteristic really shows up in their work,
How they do their work, how they face and solve problems..
So, it's an advantage to have known them better when 'teaching' them..

Some of the first students that come to my attention are off course the ones with issues..
Them who come late so many times or miss a lot of meetings, always late on submission and come up with poor result..the ones with minimum effort..
Usually, in the beginning I would listen on how their friends think of them..
Have they got problems outside school, with their family, their health, their love life..
Then, when they're around, I would start analyzing..
Some of them, really got potential to be better or even great..
But are just not motivated enough or mistakenly motivated..
Being their lecturer and old enough, I always think that they're repairable..they're all still so young..

On the way, during all the teaching process, I'll get interested in the ones who are in class physically but their mind is wandering everywhere but in class..
Some of them, just needed a wake up call..to be reminded of the reason they're doing what they're doing and the consequences of their action..

The ones that sometimes slip away are the ones that are really good in the beginning and the process,
but then when it comes to the end merely survived..or worst, doesn't survived..
These cases are such a pity..they've been doing so well and getting so close..
These, usually, are technical..managing, prioritizing..

But when I say everyone is under my radar..I mean everyone, each and every one of them..
Even the good ones and the best one..
Curious on how they did it..what did they have to 'sacrifice', what motivated them to have pushed it to that point..

Each and every case then become a lesson for everyone..
To know and understand themselves better..
To do better in the future..
Me, included..
