Take your Kid to work day

Take Your kids to Work Day assignment

On Wednesday, take your kid to work day, I visited VanGATE manufacture and automation inc, where my dad is a technician there. I helped watch the safety of the area and organize the tools. As well as passing anything need like tools, and other materials.

In my time at work, I learned many things including if you are doing a movement repeatedly like tightening the screw, take a break after 15 minutes to protect yourself, as well as when you are carrying something, you have to use your legs instead of back. Another thing you need you watch out for is the safety gear that you must wear, including helmet, safety glasses, safety vest, glove, work boot. Besides all the other safety things, no matter how urgent, there is no running on the site, and if you hear, or see anything dangerous you must leave the site immediately. I was actually very surprised how many safety rules are there.

Some prerequisite things that you need to know for this job includes electrical, and mechanical knowledge. I think that in this work you must put your safety and the safety of others first, then the quality of the product, lastly you must be patient and attentive, which I am not that good at.

My Image of impact

There was many different reason that I choose this picture, firstly this is my favourite investor. He is also my role model, and he is at a pinnacle of what emotion intelligence looks like. I think this image of him often inspires me to keep on practicing, do things that I would not do before, and never miss a chance that you get.

Meaningful Quote of Benjamin Graham

“The investor’s chief problem and even his worst enemy – is likely to be himself.”

-Benjamin Graham

 

This quote was one of my favourite as it came from my favourite author. I think it really point out the fact that in life we often find us in problems, and we often blame our problems on others. We however can’t seems comprehend that the problem is inside ourselves. With the understanding of this I think we can finally tackle the problems from the insides
