Empathy in Life and the Work Place

Questions of empathy and do I have any?


Certainly in some capacity, large or small, everyone has empathy for another living thing, if even only for a moment, right? The moment before you hovered the magnifying glass over the anthill on a sunny day perhaps, perhaps not. Nonetheless, no one is entirely emotionally void and everyone is able to think outside of themselves. So we all should at least be able to conclude that others have emotions too. So am I able to see another person, realize they have emotions and then bring myself to understand and share in the feelings from those emotions? Every reasonable person should hope so.

I’m not sure anyone really thinks much about how empathetic they have been. I imagine people naturally avoid others that require empathy because it takes work, and well, the path of least resistance is easy and most people just want an easy life. But I think something to gain out of choosing into a situation where empathy may be required is richness and depth

29 Behaviors That Will Give You A Mindset To Succeed

 - Number 11 stood out to me. I think its important to own up to your own mistakes. It builds trust with your team and/or boss when you can look them in the face and tell them you screwed up, and more often than not, there will be grace. I also think pair programming with others that are better than you is a substantially better way to learn. Wisdom and experience are not things that come easy, and someday you'll be the one on being asked to help out someone that may not know as much as you, and even then there is still a ton to learn from giving back.

Turing css challenges
Challenge 1

I wrote the divs in reverse order in the HTML so that the order of the divs would be right. In CSS I set all divs to inline-block display and then floated div1 left and floated div2 and div3 right.

See Challenge 1 on CodePen


Challenge 2

Documentation Guidelines for Cold Outreach I Deliverable:

  • Date of contact

    • "06/28/2017"
  • Outcome (i.e., did you get a response? If not, what is your follow-up plan? Did you meet? When? What was the result?)

Feedback II Reflection

  • Date of feedback conversation: 7/20/2017

    • How did you prepare for the conversation?

      *I thought about how Christie and I worked together and made some notes of things to give feedback on. The other gear-up sessions have helped me prepair to give good feedback

    • How did the conversation go for you? What was easy about the conversation? What was more difficult?
