My life experience might be simple, but I have learned a lot from my life. It is not necessary that someone’s experience has to be a good one to talk about; the point is he should have a passion to learn lessons from it. Every time you go through a bitter experience either in your travels, work, or somewhere else, I would have to say “Congrats! You have got a story to tell your grandsons someday.” I have learnt a lot of lessons from this life and taught myself beautiful lessons. I taught myself to stand firm, never give up, and do my best. I have taught myself to say “yes” whenever I feel that I need to refuse, and I have taught myself to say “no” whenever the temptations are floating around me. I have learned that if I want to live happily, …show more content…
One of runners asked if there is really somebody tried to do it, and his/her heart exploded. Of course, it was an assumption, so the answer to his question was that nobody tried to do it. The runner started training to break this record, and he actually did it. People did not believe him at the beginning and thought that he was crazy, but he did it in front of them, and many other runners broke the record in the same year. For me, I see that making assumption is a deceiving tool and a flimsy excuse that separate us from success. “Most assumptions are not the truth; they’re fiction,” says Ruiz (67). Do not assume that your boss is a great boss then you would get shocked when he commits mistakes. Do not assume that your boss is a bad boss then you would hate him no matter how good he is to you. I actually have been into many assumptions until one day I was with my friends playing a card game. We were like around eight people in the room; one of them was new to me, and he was skilled at that game. We made a raffle draw, and I ended up being with the new guy. My cousin and my friend were friends of my partner, and they kept peeking at me and smiling, and I had no idea why. I thought I was good at the game; I usually end in the second place. They offered us to play first, but I refused giving an excuse …show more content…
Rob Geis, the accountant, became an auditor, and Regina, a new employee, replaced Rob’s old job. I used to be in the same room where the accountant and the auditor were. Regina was organizing her files from the beginning since Rob was not really organized. One day, Rob took many files from the cabinet as usual and placed them back in the wrong order. Regina yelled at him claiming that he has no right to use her files. Rob, on the other hand, claimed that he an auditor and has the right to have an access to the files. They were arguing loudly in the office, so I went there just to see what the problem is and solve it. While in my way going to the room, I didn’t know how I was going to face them. I knew from them bottom of my heart that I am not a good leader and do not have leader’s characteristics; that was my assumption. However, because I was working in a professional manner, I was promoted to be the office manager. Anyways, all what it was in my mind is to cut out the noise they were making in the office. However, things were not going very well as I was expected to see when I arrived to the room; Regina’s face turned red, and she was about to cry. Just to avoid other employees seeing her face like that, I asked her to go to the waiting room. I had nothing to tell to Rob since I did not have a clear picture of what happened or who was right. As the
Words hold great power and when used correctly can influence what people believe and how they act.
Everyone can pant a pretty picture of how wonderful their life may be. In fact, doing so may come with a consequences. Reading these three short stories “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, “Shooting an Elephant” by George Orwell and a short biography by Malcolm X called “My First Conk”, set off many different emotions. I felt as these author’s wanted to me to feel in such way. I believe there is a life lesion in every life story someone has to share, no matter how small or big.
Distinctive voices of individuals is far much greater than just one’s spoken words; Isn’t it? Voices hold so much more meaning! It can be said to be one’s expression of their attitudes or perspective through body language or a series of actions. We can see that one’s unique opinion towards a subject is inevitably articulated through their unique expression which draws others into viewing the expressed perspective.
1. Tell us about an experience, in school or out, that taught you something about yourself and/or the world around you. (maximum 200 words)
The experiences that I am about to discuss regarding my life and gender expectations in school are what I felt, went through and continued to go through until I was able to come to grips with, are real and heartfelt.
Language has the power to influence and reshape our thoughts and actions. In Anthem, by Ayn Rand, there is a society which controls the language of everyone in it. Under the World Council, everyone is to follow the many rules put in place and no one even tries to break them. There is no “I” in their language, there is only “we”. With the power to influence and reshape people, language has a big impact on our thoughts and actions.
Team leader and members should not take anything personal. Like in any relationship controlled your personal feeling. Step back and evaluated the situation and realize that what you think is personal can be a regular reaction for the person. In a situation words must show example to the people you are talking with. Team communication is more about interacting then presentation. To have an effective team one must listen actively, that mean you are to stop talking and listen to each other (Ted Pollock, 2008).
A couple of weeks ago, the class was assigned a personal narrative essay and the prompt was to tell an interesting story of a specific experience that changed how you acted, thought, or felt. To be honest, I was awfully excited to write this essay because talking about myself is the easiest thing to write about sometimes. However, deciding what experience to talk about was challenging because I have already experienced so much in my seventeen years of being alive from dislocating my hip when I was three, to seeing my grandfather die in front of my eyes, from almost tripping off of the trail on the Grand Canyon, to meeting band members at an airport. Writing this essay brought me many challenges, I did not know what topic to
Any craftsman knows that you need the right tools to complete a project successfully. Similarly, people need the right language and usage to communicate in a positive way. How people write is often a problem because they don’t have the right tools, but a bigger problem occurs when a writer “is almost indifferent as to whether his words mean anything at all” (592). If a writer carries this mentality, why try to communicate in the first place? People need...
The lessons are numerous and range from trivial to profound, but there’s one that's had the most impact on my life. Fortunately, I was born into a unconditionally loving family with good health and parents that I feel comfortable talking to under almost any circumstance. Until I got to really know my friends, I was aware that not everybody’s lives were like this but never really understood what a life without those privileges was like. But then my perspective changed when I found out that a couple of my friends have terrible relationships with their parents and suffer from depression and anxiety. Another one of my friends suffers from chronic migraines and has been hospitalized three times in the past year. All of my friends are incredible individuals, and knowing in detail of what they withstand on a daily basis has made me more empathetic to the people around me. I think we all forget sometimes that other people are people, we subconsciously go into this state of mind thinking we’re the center of the whole world. But in actuality, that is not the case; everyone else has their own unique lives and issues they’re dealing with. So what I’ve learned by knowing of my friends’ distinctive stories is just to be more cognizant of others. It's difficult to have that state of mind all the time, but in doing so I have better relationships with
Winston Churchill said, “All men make mistakes, but only wise men learn from their mistakes.” While I have learned from my mistakes in the past, all the experiences that I have endured have made me into the person I am today. Even being a work-in-progress, I have a solid foundation, strong internal support and blueprints of the person I will become. And the day I become a complete multi-colored sculptor of experiences and hard work, I will have helped and inspired others to do the same.
Everyone has a story, a pivotal moment in their life that started to mold them into the person they are today and may even continue to mold you to the person that you will become, I just had mine a little bit earlier than others. When I was three years old my brother became a burn survivor. It may seem too early for me to remember, but I could never forget that day. Since then, I have grown, matured and realized that what my family and I went through has been something of a benefit to be and an experience that has helped me in deciding what I want to do with the rest of my life.
I have taught myself several things in life, but one of them sticks out more than all the others, and that’s the lessons I have taught myself during my experiences with my first two jobs. These learning experiences I have had have helped me to mature and grow into an adult, and they have changed my life for the better.
Words are powerful tools of communication and interpersonal skills. Having the ability to communicate effectively is the most important of all life skills. This life skill is most important because it is very essential for building relationships, whether it personal or impersonal; be it verbal or non verbal.
