Futuristic ¬– Thinking about the future and its possibilities fascinates me. I might not have concrete plans regarding my future, but that does not mean that I have not been thinking about it for an extended period, going through all the possible scenarios. I am very much a people pleaser, so I want usually think long and hard about life altering decisions. I believe there is some truth in the butterfly effect, so I feel one of my small, what most people would consider insignificant decision, can have major consequences. This runs along with Context, one of my other strengths, and it contributes to my decision making. What I try to do is lay out the steps so that I can succeed in the future and not have as many setbacks. Will these steps help me in the future or will they hinder my development? Only time will tell.
Deliberative – This describes me perfectly “chances are good that you customarily remain silent rather than join conversations that involve the sharing of intimate or personal information” (Deliberative, Clifton Strength). I tend to listen more in

I tend to think about what would have been if I had made a different decision in a situation, and whether I would be doing better or worse had I made a different decision. These are the decisions that keep me up at night and are the ones that I randomly think about three to five years after they happened, and make me feel shame. I also know that taking risks is important to achieving your goals, but I want to calculate those risks regardless. Most decisions are not spontaneous with me, and I am usually relieved when people will decide for me, because that allows me to relax and not over analyze a situation. Typically, I like to get into deep talks about theory and personal views with my friends and these talks are usually productive enough to where I feel that I have gained greater insight into what I should do with my
In the area of decision making I believe myself to be more Thinking than Feeling. An example of the thinking preference can be seen in my role as a consistent, objective disciplinarian. My firm-mindedness in this area has produced children that are a joy to teach as well as to take out in public. Our family receives numerous compliments on how well behaved and delightful our children are. I believe it is my desire for justice and my clarity in rules and expectations that make this achievable for my children.
Even though I can be negative at times, I do have some situations where I think about my future. For example when I decided to leave to independent studies because I was always late, I was having problems at school and at home and it was very hard for me to focus on school. I thought if I left from regular school it could help me become more responsible and it could help me figure out what I wanted to major in. It was in independent studies that I found out that I really wanted to pursue a career in health. Another example where I thought about the future was when I took the CNA class; that is, I took the Certified Nursing Assistant course. At the end of my junior year I decided that I wanted to take the class because I could have better opportunities after high school and in my future career. The instructor Ms. Estrada had a meeting to see how many people were interested; in addition, she gave the class requirements. She said class was from 1:19 to 4:30, we had at least one test every week, and if you fail more than 3 tests you get dropped. At the end of the meeting she gave everyone a packet with medical terms that she wanted us to memorize. On the very first day she was going to test us; moreover, if we failed it we would get dropped. I was chosen to be in the class and it was the longest, most stressful year ever. I was ready to
As humans, would like to think we are rational in our decisions, especially for major decisions that will affect our lives or the lives of others in the long run. Nonetheless all decisions form from the foundations of our attitudes where they can stem from internal or external factors.
Future has always intrigued people; we have always wanted to find out what future will
A popular association with choices is the angel and devil sitting on your shoulder. The devil whispers do whatever you want, who cares if it’s wrong; while the angel says “You know that you should do the right thing.” Then your mind is left spinning on how to make the choice and you wonder what kind of thought goes into making the choice. What is the psychology of making a decision? Sigmund Freud dedicated his life to studying the mind and its endless features and he was able to test many theories and contribute vast amounts of knowledge to modern day psychology. He devised theories of how the mind is split into different parts and what each part contributes to the whole function. Sigmund Freud was able carefully study the unconscious mind, the psyche and dream analysis though theories of the connections that the mind makes when exposed to life events.
The purpose of this activity is for students to make a text-to-self connection to the poem “Recognized Futures” by Lisa Suhair Majaj, and to express themselves through creative means. Students are to produce a book featuring their favorite aspects of their native culture and of the culture of the new country in which they live. They can use a list of online resources to search for pictures or they can choose to draw whatever they wish to depict, such as their favorite holidays, TV shows, food, games, songs, and places.
Futures can be predictable but when they’re not, they're pretty interesting. Some people say they can look into the future to say how you will be, but most of the time, it is fake and non-realistic. If humans were able to choose their future, they would be very exciting and amazing. If I could predict my future, I would like to attend Ohio State for my college education, live on a coast of California, and marry and have 4 children of my own. First, for my college education, I would like to attend the school, Ohio State University.
Design, first and foremost, is concerned with solving problems, but from where we currently stand we have created more problems than we have solved. Sustainable product design is focusing on creating products with the least possible negative impacts on the environment, featuring eco-sound materials, energy efficiency, and easy recycling.
Nothing in life is ever certain or can be taken for granted, including a human life. Having good health, plenty of money or even the newest technology cannot secure a safe existence. The life of a human is very delicate. One small disruption can cause injury or even fatality. Robert Heinlein frequently includes, in his short stories, the theme of humankind’s fragility in life. Most people believe that they will be safer in the future because of the constant improvements in technology, but this thought is not certain. In “Expanded Universe”, a collection of short stories, Heinlein writes about the true characteristics of the future (Slusser 229). From a machine that can inform a person the day they die, to the harsh reality of working at a nuclear power plant, and even to the Moon; Heinlein, in his narratives, combines a future surrounding with a life-threatening situation to create an appealing plot. Throughout his short stories, Robert A. Heinlein introduces a futuristic society and identifies the fragility and mortality of mankind.
Making decisions is really much more complicated than it seems. When I make decisions, my Id, Ego, and Superego decide my fate. Unfortunately for me, my Id wins far too often, as I often do not study enough. Other personality traits, such as my tendency to over-think and analyze too many things, also play a role. This can influence my other behaviors by making me seem cold and distant with others because I’m too busy thinking. My self-concept is also important.
To remain competitive and employable in the twenty-first century workplace, society today must conform to the changing demands. Technology is one of the principal driving forces of the future; it is transforming our lives and shaping our future at rates unprecedented in history, with profound implications, which we cannot even begin to see or understand.
My ideal future would be being able to travel to places where I’ve been as well as to places where I haven’t been. I’d imagine myself being happy because I’d have everything I’ve ever wanted. Getting married, buying a house- even if it were a small house with only a few bedrooms in a quiet neighbourhood. After buying a house(,) I’d have a child so that I could spoil them the way my parents spoiled me. In my ideal future(,) I would work at home so that I could be able to spend time with my family I would be my own boss. On my spare time that I would have I would start a an animal shelter one in a foreign country I would help stray animals have a home, people who can not afford to have pets could come play with dogs and cats as well as adopt them. I’d also keep myself entertained by being activite and having my own gymnastics gym.
My personal vision of the future is not something I have taken a significant amount of time to ponder in the past. I have general ideas of where I see myself both personally and professionally in future but have not identified specific steps to get there or pondered why I want to be in that situation. When taking on this somewhat daunting task of identifying my future self it is important to identify my driving values, philosophy, dreams, and my personal calling. Self-reflection on these characteristics and preferences are key to a developing a successful picture of the future.
All my life I have been taught to think before I act, in order to prevent myself from making a mistake. Yet, I have learned through my many errors in life not to duplicate my unfortunate actions. Many times I have been told to consider the consequences of my actions prior to acting. I have found, though, that this may not always be the best approach. I would not argue this to be true in every situation, however. What is to be said, for example, of those who have acted on their emotions, only to find themselves in prison? One must be able to know instinctively which situations are appropriate to be dealt with solely on emotions, and which are to require a certain amount of development. Nevertheless, as von Kleist states, in “On Thinking Things Over: A Paradox”, the proper time to reflect on an action is after the act has occurred.
No body knows what the future is going to be like. The future is an unsolved mystery that can never be unleashed. People will never be able to live in the future because the catch is once people live in the future, the future becomes the present. Even though no one knows what the future is going to be like, people like to write about this unsolved mystery because there is no right or wrong answer to what the future is going to be like. Both the novel, The Lathe of Heaven, and the movie, The Matrix, focus on the future. The writers and creators of these works not only suggest what life could be like in the future with similarities and differences, but they also add what life is like today in order to make the stories more believable. There are aspects that are different and similar about the future societies in the two works. In both works there are people who know the difference between the real worlds and then everyone else who has absolutely no idea. The majority of the people have absolutely no idea. The people live their own lives with not knowing anything that is going on. These people live their lives similar to the way people in todays society lives their lives. This is one of the reasons why people can relate themselves to both of the stories. Also, in both of the works there are characters trying to improve all of the worlds in general. Dr. Haber in the novel tries to influence George to dream a certain way in order to improve the world. For example, he tries to have George dream of equality for all people. In the movie Morphius frees Neo from the computer system because he believes that he can change the world. Neo is trying to be prevented to do so by Agent Smith because he represents the computers ...
