What's 200 Words Have To Do With Growing Professionally andr Personally?

Stategic Business Coach, Planning Strategist Maria Marsala by Maria Marsala

Summary: Learning something new is a challenge, but armed with the right mind set new things can come more easily. Often, it's as easy as knowing the right terms.

 

 

Language is often the first barrier to getting the information that you need to do a job. When beginning an ezine there is a fair amount of vocabulary surrounding computers and digital media that could cause confusion or bewilderment or even fear. Don't be stopped by that!

When I worked in the trading department on Wall Street, I considered a move within the company to a new department. Even though I had been successful in the industry for 7 years, I was still afraid that I wouldn't know how to be successful in my new department. Then I spoke with one of the other traders, George Adell, who was also moving to the new department, about my fears. He said I'd do fine... I'd just need to learn some new words and a different way to do the math on this security. This conversation forced me to realize that all that separates one thing from another is learning 200 new words! That's not only true for securities... it's true for so many things in life.

Take computers. They come with 200 new words you need to learn. Using e-mail means learning a list of 200 acronyms. Each new program comes with its own 200 words to learn. Actually each new "thing"to come with its own 200 words! Next time you're about to stress out as you learn something new, remember... its just 200 new words!

Same is true for social networking, learning about a new product, creating systems, moving to a new company, etc. etc.

Use the resources below to learn the meanings of any words or acronyms you come across as you learn more about your computer.
