Adapt or perish: 5 ways to thrive - Interact, Achieve, Learn, Work, Think

According to ILT-SS-04-AK Adaptability and Resilience that I attended on Monday, Apr 3, 2023, with Kak Mutiara Arumsari as our instructor. I learned about the 5 Ways we need to adapt, namely Ways of Interacting, Achieving, Learning, Working, and Thinking. So here I want to share my 5 Ways experience of adaptability that I have done upon joining Bangkit 2023 program.

1. Ways of Interacting: I recognized the importance of building relationships with my peers and mentors in this program. So I make an effort to be approachable and friendly, initiating conversations and showing interest in others through Discord, such as responding to peer messages and joining some groups. I also form a language study channel on Discord, which is a Korean channel, even though the channel isn't very active, I always try to share related material there. Besides that I also communicate with my mentor and my group mates on WhatsApp, I often ask my mentor about my difficulties and confusion in this program and sometimes ask my group mates about the difficulties in the course. I will try to interact more with my peers so it's easy to find friends during the capstone project.

2. Ways of Achieving: I understand to achieve all goals in this program need hard work and dedication, and for that I ensure that I could complete all tasks given on time. I am willing to give more effort so I can complete the milestones on time.

3. Ways of Learning: This is where the growth mindset is needed, even though sometimes there are things that disturb my mind but in this case I have to be able to fight it and try to always be open to learning new things. Sometimes when I face difficulties or hard to understand the course, I take a break and refresh my mind but if it doesn't work then I try to find other references or ask my supervisor, my mentor or my peers to explain it to me. Just believe in yourself that you can cope it. Ask for feedback to improve your work too. And remember that a growth mindset can lead to greater resilience and academic achievement among students facing difficulties.

4. Ways of Working: I can apply this at the capstone project later where we need to work collaboratively with my peers, sharing ideas and opinions while also listening to others and willing to take responsibility to support the team. I also have to be adaptable here by being able to communicate well and respectfully within the team.

5. Ways of Thinking: See challenges as opportunities to learn and grow. For me this is an easy thing to say but quite difficult to do, but I can handle it with this kind of thinking, so I have a motivation that encourages me when I'm in difficulties, you can applied too. And always think positively, keep that on mind that failure can help us to learn, build resilience and grow faster it's like a valuable experience that helps us to become better versions of ourselves, so don't hesitate to reach for an even bigger challenges. Just do it, fellas.?

That's all my little experience in about two months to be a Bangkit 2023 cohort, these experiences show me that adapting to change requires effort, dedication, and a willingness to learn and grow. With the right mindset and approach, we can overcome challenges and emerge stronger than ever. FIGHTING!!
