Who am I? Why am I here? What is MY mission on earth? These questions have all appeared in our minds from time to time. Each and every one of us has been brought into this world for a reason. Although most of us do not know what this reason may be, we have the power to choose our paths in life. We decide the type of person we want to be by choosing our own values, goals and mission in life. “Every test in our lives makes us bitter, or better. Every problem comes to break us, or make us. The choice is ours whether we become victim, or victor.” This quote resonates within me daily as I value perseverance and determination. Perseverance is a beneficial value to possess as it teaches you not to give up when things become too hard, but rather to …show more content…
Jesse Jackson teaches us to “never look down on someone unless you’re helping them up”. The way you treat other people says a lot about the person you are. I believe that kindness is one of the most important qualities to possess. I want this quality to be a part of what defines me and although I believe I possess it to a certain extent, in my opinion, a person can never be too kind. I am aspiring to be a Paediatric Occupational Therapist as I want to help improve a child’s quality of life by making tasks easier for them. In order to work with children you need to be very patient, sympathetic and passionate. I have been working on my patience and I believe that is has improved tremendously. I have an understanding of others’ feelings and therefore I am sympathetic towards them. Martin Kornfeld once said “If we all do one random act of kindness daily, we just might set the world in the right direction.” an act of kindness can be shown in many ways. I strive to smile at and greet each person that I pass. Although it may seem like a petty act, it can make a huge difference to someone’s day. By doing this it is beneficial for that person as well for as myself. My self-confidence has as well as my mental and spiritual health. Whenever I do an act of kindness I feel happy, whether it is anonymously giving charity or making and handing out sandwiches to the homeless people on the street I feel …show more content…
To me, it is important for people to know that they can always depend on me and that I will go out of my way to help them. These are two values which I believe re essential in being a decent human being. Without them, no one is able to depend on you or even trust you for the fear that you may let them down. “Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair” Trust works both ways and once that trust is lost, you may never regain it. I have a lot of faith in people and although this may seem like a positive characteristic, it can also be to my detriment. I have trusted people to always be there for me like I was for them. I believed that they cared about me and would never hurt me. I truly cared for them but I landed up having my heart broken. They lied to my face when I found out they had been unfaithful which caused me to start doubting the other people I trusted. Trust is something that needs to be earned and I believe people need to work hard to earn it. I am determined to be like this person and instead be a trustworthy and dependable person. I will do this by always being there for my friends and anyone else who may need me. I will remain loyal to them and not gossip about them. I will always help them to the best of my
In many instances such as this one, perseverance and drive are allies against the ugly. According to the article Abraham Lincoln: A Remarkable Story of Perseverance, "In business, Lincoln failed twice, as a politician he lost eight elections and he suffered a nervous breakdown, bedridden for six months, as fears, doubts and uncertainties lived within his soul." This example from Lincoln's life clearly displays perseverance because it shows him failing, yet not giving up. Everyone knows Lincoln's success story, becoming the 16th President of the United States, but few know how difficult his journey to success was. If he had given up his political career
Easy does not trust many people because they have let him down so many times for an example Easy close friend was trying to set him up behind his back and from that day on Easy never trusted anyone again because he felt even those close to you will still stab you in your back Easy was trying to help a friend out to help find his son but Easy got pulled over by the cops that’s when Easy felt that his friend was trying to get him put in jail because he knew Easy was not supposed to be diving at the time. I can relate to Easy having trust issues because I’ve been let down in the past I’ve also had those I called my friends who in the long run has shown me there are not many people that you can truly call your
So constantly being kind and showing those kind emotions can show your character and build a reputation that you can uphold. In his quote, Elie Wiesel stated “Even on the edge of the abyss, it is possible to dream exalted dreams of compassion.” I believe he talked about
Trust which is “assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something in which confidence is place” (Merriam-Webster's Learner's Dictionary, 1828). Confidence which is “faith or belief that one will act in a right, proper, or effective way” (Merriam-Webster's Learner's Dictionary, 1828). When abuse of power is present in a organizations, Soldiers loose trust on their leaders as they will not be doing things for the better but just because he or she said so. At the same time Soldiers have to be able to understand the difference and cannot go by their assumptions. Trust is one of the easiest attribute to loose and the hardest to get back.
Perseverance is the act of continuing to do something despite difficulty or obstacles. As Marie Curie said “Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained”.
Trust is very important in relationships. It is the basis for relationships. It influences what you think about others. When just beginning a relationship there is a lot of initial trust. In The Great Gatsby the beginning tells of Gatsby, and how he is shrouded in mystery and gossip.
You can trust a friend when he or she has a good character. Later on, Socrates says what if good equals to self sufficient? Because that way you need nothing, but of course that cannot be human beings since human beings cannot be self sufficient. We cannot serve someone who has no need. Self sufficient people can deal with you and do things for you.
Trust is what makes the world go round. Without trust, people wouldn’t know how to live. Sometimes trust can cause a person’s downfall. In Macbeth, trust fools plenty of citizens in Scotland. Although some people may become skeptical too quickly, people should be careful who they trust because people can have bad intentions and betray each other no matter what.
Some people are kind and helpful, while others can be harmful and untrustworthy. We must be careful about whom we trust and turn to for help, just like Tree-ear had to be in his journey. It is essential to remain cautious and discerning about people's intentions to avoid getting hurt. Furthermore, people we trust and have known for years can sometimes become our worst enemies.
Webster’s dictionary define trust as “firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, a strength of someone or something. As I read this story this word continues to come to my mind in The Wife of Bath not so trustworthy. To me it doesn’t seem as though she being truth about anything. In Geofrey Chaucer short story “The Wife of Bath’s Prologue” the main theme is how this one woman says she loves and take control over her husbands.
Perseverance becomes getting up, dusting yourself off, and starting up again when we get knocked down. Perseverance builds character. No one was born being a major leaguer or a track star, we must work for to become one. Working hard takes perseverance because everyone fails. All great characters in history were once at their lowest
