Habbit of Mind: Ownership and Innovation

Ownership; to own yourself, how you carry yourself, and taking responsibility of your work. In school I am forced to take ownership over my work even if it is terrible. That being said I also have the ability to take ownership over my work if it is extra ordinary. Ownership can also mean having pride in something you own or just yourself. I think one of the most important things in life is how you carry yourself, how you own yourself. If I don't have pride, take responsibility, take ownership, then I will go no further than where I am now. Right now I feel like I am carrying myself pretty well, I am being truthful and taking ownership over my responsibilities.

Innovation; moving forward, taking action, making change. Life is about innovation, progressing in new technology. Every year a new Iphone comes out on the market with people always innovating to make the apps better or the touch screen more sensitive. On TV, commercials about changing products. In school I innovate on my own work to make it generally better. So if you think about it all the world has ever done is innovate on a creation to make it newer and better. That is why we have progressed in life from living in caves starting with an idea making that idea real and lastly innovating it to make it completely better. I know that innovating has helped me and it makes the world a better place.
