Everything that came up under “Challenges” was true for me. The challenges that related to me most were having difficulty managing time and losing interest in long, complex projects. However, the suggested strategies for these challenges are actually very helpful and I will definitely be using these suggestions from now on in both my short and long-term career goals. I learned that I am a Thinker rather than a Feeler – meaning I base my decisions on logic versus values. I have always thought I was more likely to use my feelings to make decisions rather than what my head tells me – but this assessment says otherwise.
I want to be successful but I also won’t to be able to work for my success instead of some one handing it to me. I would like to be able to say not only did I do something for myself, but I helped out or made a difference in some one else’s life or maybe even a community. My potential should be used for the better, to making something greater then what it is. All it takes is one person to make a difference imagine if multiple people had the motivation to do more then for them selves. My goal in life is to make a difference and to more for the better then for the worse, because you never know what life will have in store for you.
Since experiences are what ultimately shape an individual, reflecting upon those personal experiences lead to self discovery. A problem arises when those experiences themselves are not real. In the essay “The Loss of the Creature,” Walker Percy questions the ability of people to have authentic experiences. He argues that one must enter a situation with no preconceptions in order to have a real-life experience. If this was the case, genuine events would be very rare.
The Genius and Beauty Found Within The Clifton StrengthsFinder Themes of Talent By Edward “Chip” Anderson, Ph.D., coauthor of StrengthsQuest From my experience, each of the themes of talent identified by the Clifton StrengthsFinder Inventory has a stroke of genius within it. The genius of our talents reflects what those talents enable and empower us to do to potential levels of excellence. The concept of genius refers to an extraordinary ability to do certain things, and as such there is great beauty in seeing what is done by the genius within individuals. Accordingly, what follows is the genius I see in each of the themes of talent identified by the Clifton StrengthsFinder Inventory. Adaptability The genius of your Adaptability talent begins
No-one, nevertheless, can join whatever belongings he wants owing to the fact that limited resources such as time and money. Then there arises a need to choose the options which is more suitable or more comfortable for their situation and life style. The optional belonging is another critical factor to choose who will be the allies and who will be the enemies. And there remains also the majority whose believes are completely different and conflict with yours and they will try to assert their identity to you. People who share the same allegiance sympathize; they all gather together, join forces, encourage one another and challenge the other side.
No one can ultimately set out a list of moral universal truths as they could not possibly take into consideration all practices upheld by different cultures. We live in a world today which has a large variety of cultures throughout different countries, each individual having been brought up on different cultural beliefs and practices many which have dated back from their early ancestors, have grown up believing in and being taught moral principles of their culture. William Summers argued “that because cultures have different values we can’t argue that one cultures morals are more right than another” Therefore individuals coming from different cultures may find certain practices immoral only because that act is seen as immoral in their culture yet they should not judge as certain practices they perform in their cultures may be seen as wrong by others. We could relate cultural relativism to subjectivism which believes “moral properties to be reducible to people’s subjective beliefs or attitudes” so therefore subjectivism teachers us that there is no objective moral truths out there. Subjectivists would say “killing is wrong” which also means the same as “I
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
I have experienced many adverse personal situations in my life. I could have chosen to take a different path in life but yet I chose to pursue a college education, pursue a master's degree, and choose to do things for myself despite my hardships, that would lead me to be the 'best me' possible. It irks me when people blame their actions or lack thereof on things that have happened to them in life and it is because of this that I want to help people realize that they can always make a positive change in their lives and 'be all that they can be'. I believe that no one is perfect and we all have faults and strengths yet I believe in making choices to lead you to what truly makes you happy. I believe that you must get in touch with your emotions and who you really are to make positive changes and I believe that Person-Centered therapy can help achieve that.
Identity is a very important part of each and every one of our lives. Some of us are trying to hide who we really are in order to give others the impression that we are the kind of person that we think they want us to be. Some of us are proud of who we are and don’t understand why others pretend to be someone they aren’t. Others are simply trying to find their identity. These identity issues are clearly represented in three stories: “The Waltz” by Dorothy Parker, “Raymond’s Run” by Toni Cade Bambara, and “D.P.” by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
Don't let them put you in that position.” "Often, it’s not about becoming a new person, but becoming the person you were meant to be, and already are, but don’t know how to be." - Heath L. Buckmaster (Box of Hair: A Fairy Tale) "Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I've ever known." - Chuck Palahniuk (Invisible Monsters) "Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
