“That’s because I believe in disrupting my comfort zone,” Brian Grazer, award winning producer, says in his personal essay, “Disrupting My Comfort Zone” (90). He starts out by telling a story of him at the best surf spot in the world and the intimidating men next to him. This is giving an example of how someone will become very uncomfortable in a certain situation that they have never been in before. Brain goes through life always wanting to be in that type of situation because he feels that as a person you will be unable to grow if you don’t face something you are not used to. Later in the essay Brian talks about meeting up with experts. He meets up with them because he knows that they will beat him down which makes him succeed more. People learn and flourish when they are not doing or being in a situation that they are regularly in. Being out of a comfort zone is something that helps me strive and learn in whatever situation I may be in. It may be hard to grasp the concept, but it truly helped me in the long run because I am now always wanting to put myself in a …show more content…
Every year I am always wanting to land all new types of tricks. One trick that I wanted to learn was a 360. I have always wanted to try this trick, but I never had enough courage to do so. One day I went out and decided I was going to go for it and give it a shot. Me being able to just try the trick put me out of my comfort zone by a great deal. I usually never tried to do the more evolved tricks because I was scared of hurting myself for the upcoming football season. Since I was able to try the trick one time and almost land it, it pushed me even further to try again and again until I landed it. After a week of non stop practice, I was able to finally land a 360. The main reason I landed it was because I put myself out of my comfort zone. If I didn’t put myself there then I wouldn’t have even tried the trick in the first

Staples figures there is not anything he can do to solve this issue and his conclusion was to change the way he acts around people so they are no longer afraid. This shows that society fears him and do not want anything to do with him. The ones around him try to get away from him as quick as possible that shows that they think of him as a threat and want to keep their distance.

He had been scared about being at the bottom of the food chain again. He pulled through well, but had a couple of social issues as this stage in his life progressed. For example, he had some experiences with peer pressure by his fellow classmates. It was important for him to go through this, because he needed to learn about standing up for what he believes in.
These emotions eventually lead to lasting consequences. The Las Vegas shooting has proven that fear has prompted many people planning to visit or staying at the scene to rethink their decisions due to the lack of trust. Trust issues prevented the future travelers from staying at the hotel as well as motivated an increase in security. In Harrison Bergeron, fear surrounded the society due to the strict rules. The musicians simply listened to Harrison because of his commanding presence. With more thought and less impulsivity they would not have broken the law. Meanwhile, because the Handicapper General rushed to kill Harrison, she created a riot due to the fact the shooting was broadcasted. As humans, people fear situations that are far from life-or-death, and thus hang back for no good reason. Bad experiences can trigger a fear response within us that is hard to overcome. Yet exposing ourselves to our personal demons is the best way to move past them. Once people are able to overcome their fear, they can continue to flourish and
Did you know that Alan Gelfand was the one who invented or created the ollie. “The ‘Secret History’ Of Skateboarding’s Most Fundamental Trick” Alan really didn’t even mean to create the ollie in the first place. He was actually trying to do a lipslide with his friend Jeff but instead he did what his friend called an “ollie pop”. Soon after that word got around that Alan created the new trick called the ollie. After that, Alan was asked to be photographed doing his brand new trick the ollie. And then not long

In Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson, the story follows Ruth and Lucille as they pass through the care of their mother, grandmother, great-aunts, and finally their mother’s transient sister, Sylvie. While Ruth is generally passively accepting of the care or lack thereof that she receives from these women, no matter how unconventional, Lucille purposefully sets herself against Sylvie. After existing outside of the boundaries that society imposes for the majority of her adult life, Sylvie is unable to provide the structured normality to which Lucille so desperately cleaves. In their own methods of seeking happiness, Sylvie prefers a fluid way of housekeeping, while Lucille needs strict adherence to convention. The polar relationship that exists between Sylvie and Lucille serves to illuminate that while society as a whole is more comfortable when everything is separated into rigid order and divided by strict boundaries, categories detract from the happiness of all individuals regardless of whether they attempt to fit within or reject them.

He feels the need to have everybody around him believe that he is superior to others, he goes so far as to spend the night in jail, pretending to be man who had lost his keys, and then leave without the mean that is offered. He talks about why he leaves by saying, “But no one offered me a ticket, and I dared not demand one. It would have roused suspicion at once. They would have begin to poke their noses into my private affairs, and discover who I really was.” (pg.
