Unlearn

Drop the idea to study late at night. Identify self as a morning person-wake up earlier each day for self-learning and reading.


Relearn

I proposed for a revision of target for next 6 months in 2007 in view of the business challenges ahead (generic threat - Porter's 5 forces). I applied critical thinking skills by discussing why there is a need (purpose) in my point of view, which can lead to lower morale and productivity if SE did not achieve budget (consequences - employee may leave). I supported with data and facts that with the revise price will impact lower sales value but in my judgement, we can gain back with prescriptions of a more cost-effective drugs. I also made some assumptions to solve this problems ie potentiallyNorvasc sales may drop in next 6 months by averagely 5- 10%.

At this point I realized that you may be reflecting on an entirely new learning ground, thus you do not harbour any prelearning notions that could be reflected in the unlearn and relearn. If this was the case you could perhaps state you reasons and not reflect on other areas.
