Perhaps more so. As I venture through life, business and politics, what I realize is that our greatest future is somehow connected to the folks who mentor us, who engage us in conversations that are in our enlightened best interest, but the manifestation of which might not occur for decades. I’d like to encourage all mentors to not only be a mentor but to know that the difference they are making may not actually manifest itself for a decade or two. In my life, not only did John Moniz transform my thinking, but he changed my life. Many of the lessons he taught me never manifested themselves until after he sadly passed away.
Over the many years of my life there have been a lot of different influences on my life. Some have been extremely beneficial and others have had some what of a negative effect on me. As usual your mother and father have basically influence you as you’re growing up and there isn’t much you can do to change that. As you get older thou you have more of a choice in who you surround yourself based on your actions and how you live your life. If you ask a group of people who they would say most influenced their life usually they can come up with one or two names right off the top of their head.
Janie’s constant struggles through her life journey impacted her greatly, making her change her ways and become the person she is. It may take you more than one marriage or more than one boyfriend to find out who allows you to be yourself, what makes you happy and who give you support and guidance. Remember you have all your life to figure it out, so in the mean time just be
Justine Pregler Bcor 2300 The main concepts behind Ron Alsop’s article “The ‘Trophy Kids’ Go to Work” is a basic outlay of how the Millennial generation is currently entering the workforce and within doing so is causing other generations before them to adapt to their new style and expectations of how to be managed. Some of the main factors that set the millennial generation apart from those before it is the overwhelming thought that they were ‘coddled’ by their parents and teachers their whole lives resulting in a generation of individuals who feel a sense of entitlement within life and within the workforce. Some of Alsop’s conclusions include the fact that the millennials are the future of the workforce and that there is this concern about
September 22, 2008 Response to The Four Agreements The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz is a guide to free oneself from the everyday petty events that lead to stress and suffering. Through agreements such as be impeccable with your word, don’t take anything personally, don’t make assumptions, and always do your best, Ruiz promises self-growth and development. My initial reaction to the author’s writing was that he is an extremist with a very pessimistic outlook on life. Ruiz’s idea of the “domestication of humans” and that humans surrender their beliefs to agreement with the mainstream ideas of society is a narrow-minded claim. Schools and parents usually teach children to think critically and “outside the box” on their own.
It fits because in Malcolm x quote he describes how his frustration with not being able to read and write aggravates him. This quote led him to start his “Homemade education”. Malcolm knew that reading was a good thing and he knew that in the long run, reading would better himself as a person by having so much knowledge. In Plato’s quote he states that in the world of knowledge the idea of good appears last of all, and is only seen with effort. Malcolm knew that without putting in any effort to read and write that the outcome would not be good.
Everything that people are doing, have done and will do is their responsibility. It will change as the roles people play change. My recent personal responsibility includes taking care of my family as a son, doing well in school as a student, managing my financial status as an independent adult, obeying all laws as a citizen, and many other things as different
It is all too often a familiar feeling when I think of my family responsibility and how I must often make decisions and carry the burden for my family. I quickly learned that others within the group had similar feelings of family obligation and responsibility which seemed to play a role in the tension they felt at the onset of the group. When Dr. Skjoldal asked the question, “What will happen if you don’t get something right or get a thing done?”, It was a moment of enlightenment, and it gave me insight. I have never been asked that question. Thinking about a possible answer reveals that I am not only living with fear but possibly an over-compensation of family obligation.
When I so it I had thought the “we” was me and the reader , but I soon find out that's how they were tough since they were born into brotherhood. All of their lives they always said "we" because
It seems as though it can truly be said that identity is inborn, overtime I started drifting back to my prior self. My family and friends all supported me and helped me through such a misfortunate era of my life. If Ive learnt anything from this experience its that you must know where you belong, you will always belong to some form of family. Ive become a better person out of this experience, it is through this that my inner core is strengthened i not only the see the world differently, I myself am different. I took a grasp of my life and I transformed my identity from one that was constantly fearing for the worst to someone who cherishes every moment of life because, you just don’t know how long you may have
