It says that I care about safety and security of people I love, such as family members, friends and others. It is very true since I would love to get things done as much as possible for them, and make sure that everything runs smoothly in their daily lives. I would spend my whole day doing things for a person without the need of anything in return. Even though I make myself feel that I am stupid, I always want to do over and over again for people in order to help them whenever they need me. I love to take responsibility when people can rely on me; thus whenever I could not accomplish it, I blame it on myself.
FreeWriting In the article, “FreeWriting”, Mr. Elbow states,” next time you write, notice how often you stop yourself from writing down something you were gonna write down. Or else cross out what’s been written. “Naturally” you say, “it wasn’t any good”. I can definitely relate to the view Peter Elbow takes in his article. Starting an assignment is always the hardest step for me .Like in the very beginning, when you are digging for words to tie your point together; it’s always a struggle building that creative momentum.
Before I read the book, I could have been overdramatic and reacted theatrically to what now seems as silly happenings and consider myself to have a difficult life. Although I know my life is not perfect, I now regard my family and home life as the life I would chose to live over any other. The thankfulness this book has rooted in me has forever changed my life. Whenever I find myself in a difficult situation, I know that I have a family who loves me and will support me through anything, regardless of what it is. I realize now that this is a blessing that others may
Like most, my life is always changing and things do not always work out as planned. I think it is important to remember to stay in charge especially when you are down. For me, when I am down, that is when I am most susceptible to be influenced by others or my surroundings. I do not really agree though when the book discusses using this map for “designing the rest of your life” (Life Launch pg 48). To me, that sounds too much like a perfect world and like we all have enough time to sit down and plan everything out and then
In situations like these, checkers seems to represent the position we all experience in life; you can only move once and then await your turn. You choose what to do while waiting for the other player to make their move. Humans don't like to wait, so sometimes we lose our cool and ruin everything. This plays part in our growth and is mandatory to be learnt from, or it'll
A lot of people are just trying to get by life without ever stopping and thinking about how their actions are going to affect us now and later, they just go by life trying to get to the end without trying to make a change or impact in our world. Everyone should be here to do that. America does have it's good thoughts though, they have good means for the change that they want to do, but it's all talk, no action. We can't expect something to get done when all we do is talk about it, we have to actually get up and do something about the problems and the changes we think are here and should happen. I'm sure we could be an even greater nation, where people do care about what they do, and they think about everything they are going to do before even doing it..
My schedule doesn’t allow for a lot of give, so everything I do is with purpose and on time. I forget that not everyone has the same regimen and need to be so time conscience. I am also not good at adapting to change, which is a critical skill I need to work on. In being with the same company for so long, we have seen our fair share of change, and I do eventually come around, but I think I could do it faster and better if I were more flexible and adaptive when I first become aware of changes on the way. Sometimes we learn of change the day of, via email, and it definitely throws me for a loop.
This is a new start of his heroic life. In our normal lives, we always have difficult times that discourage us and make us want to give up, but after we pass the difficult times we can learn something from it. We know how to solve the same problem next time, and prepare for the next
I realize that not everyone will be your best friend, but if I spend time obsessing over it and begin to hate them, it will just bring down my own life. Although if I love them, or like them I will go on not worrying about all the hate and live happier. I am trying to incorporate some of the life lessons from each of the three books into my own life, so I can allow myself more personal fulfillments and cease the opportunity at an unbelievable life. Feeling fulfillment in life can allow someone to feel happy and realize what they have been working hard for will come in the
My answer to that is no I would not; its because of the mistakes I have made that make me who I am today. William Stafford signifies that people come in and out of your life; some playing little roles and some playing significant roles. Through all of this I have friends come and go; no matter who they may be everybody has made an impact in my life in one way or another. When things get rough you realize who is actually close to you; but it’s the people that exit my life in a hurry that have taught me a lot. I have realized that people can come and go out of my life as they please, but it’s the people that stay that truly impact me.
