Prepare an introductory dialog short paragraph (lead-in) and write an ending paragraph summarizing/reassuring the client they chose the right person to do the job.

You receive a call from a corporate client that wishes for your floral firm to do all of the floral designs given they know how professional and talented you are. They have a catering company and entertainment firm already involved so your responsibility is purely to build the visual/creative aspect to the event through flowers.Create a series of questions that would be asked at the first consultation visit. From these questions you should be able to move to the next aspect of creating the plan and building a budget that can be presented to the corporate represented for approval or minor modifications.Do not give me a bunch of random questions. These should be in an organized thought process. This will look similar to a script that you could follow during the client interview.

How do think stability and controllability affect performance attributions, based on our reading this week?

Attribution Theory and Performance
Prior to beginning this assignment, be sure to read Chapter 4: Cognition, Learning, and the Environment, and read the article Extending Attribution Theory: Considering Students Perceived Control of the Attribution Process, the Instructor Guidance, and view the following website The Critical Thinking Community (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (http://www.criticalthinking.org/).For this written assignment, you will demonstrate your understanding of attribution theory. In essence, attribution theory states that individuals tend to make sense of (logically prescribe) situations by associating them to self, others, thoughts, feelings, or actions. This theory suggests that learners should consider why they do what they do, and what or who they are giving credit for both the victories and the failures. Further, this theory suggests that if a person believes that they are not good at something, they may attribute their unsuccessful outcomes to external factors, rather than to themselves. In contrast, if individuals have success, they more often may attribute their successes to internal factors.Using your required resources to support, discuss the following:Describe a time where you feel you have failed and blamed someone else: the teacher, the friend, a loved one. (Failure could be academic, relational, and/or organizational loss of a job.)
Do you believe that you blamed external things to support a more stable version of your own self-image? (In other words, it could not be your mistake). If not, what other reasons might external variables be attributed for our own performance?

Why do you think that self-efficacy plays such a critical role in how we process our learning behaviors?
What strategies could be applied to utilize what we know about self-perception and attributions to increase your learning performance in the future? (Minimum of two strategies.)

Read Chapter 5 : Files, Directories, and the File System
Complete review questions 1, 2, 12, 17, 18 on pages 153-154. and answer these discussion topics:Discussion Topic 1: A hard disk failure can be catastrophic because it is the primary storage media that contains all of our files and work. Yet the hard disk is probably the one item most apt to fail in the computer because of its moving parts. Research different ways to backup or otherwise safeguard your hard disk storage. Discussion Topic 2: In the Windows operating system, the structure of the file system is often hidden from the user by using default storage locations such as My Documents and Desktop. Is this a good or bad approach for an end user who is not very knowledgeable about computers? What about a computer user who is very familiar with the idea of a file system? What are the implications of security breaches on technology adoption. Answer the following questions:1. Are people hesitant to use the Internet or wireless technology for purchases due to security concerns?2. Are people hesitant to use technology because of privacy concerns?3. Are these concerns warranted and are they influenced by age, race, or gender?
