Hi,
Hope you are enjoying your internship and the people associated at the workplace. You have posted a very interesting query which has a huge meaning to deliver.
As an intern, you want to impress your management so that they retain you after completion of your internship. Please concentrate and understand my points:
a) "IMPRESS" is a word that gives a different kind of meaning when it comes to performance. Sometimes it does sound selfish as well.
b) I agree with Ms. Archna, as she had suggested you to learn, give your best. I suggest you to understand yourself, know your abilities, capabilities, preferences, qualities, strengths, weaknesses, along with those with whomsoever you are working or about to work.
c) Gaining knowledge is not an easy task. As time passes by, you'll gain knowledge as you gain hardcore experience. For example, a diamond has less value when extracted from the earth, but when one gives it a shape using his creativity skills, its value grows. But again, one has to be very careful while shaping a diamond, else it will be of no value at all. Apply the same process in your life.
d) Understand the work culture, environment, ethics of the organization, and concentrate on your project.
e) Always do good but don't expect gratitude in return.
f) Never learn how to butter up people, hypocrisy, and many more bad habits that will spoil your mind and your career.
g) Always think positive, practice a positive mental attitude, look for good in everything, gain total control, be smart, etc.
h) Take 100% responsibility for your life and never blame anybody as everyone has their own setbacks. Focus, concentrate, understand, and grow slowly, step by step.
Have a nice career and future.
With profound regards.
