Mark MansonAuthor of bestselling book "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a f***" Mark Manson, you could say, is all about himself (but in a good way). He writes about self empowerment and ow to live a successful life in this crazy bizarre world. In book based article he mentions how he quit his financing job and started doing what he enjoyed. I connect with this because I'm all about going for your dreams and being happy even if its selling fruit on a street corner. Mark Mason really motivates you to just do what you want and to not worry about others because it is your life and your in control of everything that comes in and out of it, so take advantage and do something great for yourself.

Emotional IntellegenceThis is definitely something that needs working on. I can say that i am in-tune with my emotions, but when something bad happens or negativity comes my way, i cant tell you how Id react. I'm an extremely optimistic person and i like too see the good in everything but it becomes hard when i suspect negative energy. I need to work on controlling my emotions so that I'm not destructive to myself and those around me. NoI don't take well to receiving and giving this word. I hate when I'm asking for a favor and the person says no. I don't throw a fit but I feel a certain way afterwards. If a friend told me No, my anxiety starts to surface and I feel guilty for even asking and start to blame myself for random things. When my parent says no I get a whole attitude and and resort to pettiness. Its hard for me too even say it because I'm a people pleaser and would rather not make that person upset at me or dislike me for saying No. They wont let anyone limit their joy...I have plans in the future. Many of my peers and family members don't agree with my choices, and my interests in life but I don't let that stop me from doing what i like. When I decided to get my nose pierced and, many of my family members and peers mad fun of me for it saying i wouldn't get a job or that i look like a bull, telling me to take it out and everything. I never let that get to me, and continued to wear it out proud, because i liked it. I don't let people opinions affect me because they are not me, and they have no control over my life.
![]() Mitch Albom Cared about his customers and fans. he believed that he had to earn their respect through excitement. extremely humble, Mitch didn't care about being famous, he was just a family man who did what he enjoyed doing. He sometimes felt unworthy of the things that he was receiving, but nonetheless was extremely grateful. He participated in many charities even paying for Rosa Parks rent for a year. The riches and fame never tainted his persona. He was a very social guy who loved helping people. He died a friend, and a part of Detroit. He may never be forgotten, but forever remembered. Your cultureMy culture, black culture, is something that is so important and dear to me. Its invigorating to know your history and culture, I truly love it. The music, The spirit, The family, I wouldn't trade this for anything. Black culture is extremely popular throughout the world and I am happy to be apart of that. Spiritualitystaying connected with myself and the universe really opens me up to new possibilities. I constantly pray and meditate to keep myself centered with nature , and to clear my mind of the prior day. I love how i'm spiritually connected with myself because It's extremely refreshing and keeps me focused and creative throughout the day.

In Zig ZIglar's Attitude Makes All The Difference he talks about how whatever your dreams are you can achieve them simply by putting in the work. That really stuck out to me because It is something I stick by when attempting to accomplish my goals. I believe that if you really want something, that you would go for it and in return receive it. My attitude towards life really determines how you deal with issues in life. If you keep a positive attitude on things then you will attract only positive/good things. Your attitude really constructs your future whether its good or bad.
This year is a pretty big deal for me. For the past couple months I have been non stop applying to universities, making calls, and setting up meetings. This is the most adult I have ever been in my life and its a true wake up call that I am indeed graduating soon and becoming an actual adult. Every second counts and I have to put my all in everything I do now. Every time i finish an application with essays an all, it motivates me to keep going, it empowers me because I feel that i'm actually doing something extremely important to benefit myself in the long run. It gets stressful at times but I refuse to stop even for a second. Just checking my email has a big impact on me, colleges sending me acceptance letters invigorates me, and actually makes me feel that i'm doing something right for once. The little things really have changed the way I think and go about my days for the best, just by simply making a call or writing an essay.
I am afraid of commitment. whether its a relationship or involving my future, I am terrified. I feel that it is sometimes because I am young, but then again probably because of my past relationships. with commitment comes trust and purpose, and I have to regain that for the sake of my future self. Insensibility towards people. my sarcasm and monotone voice aren't really helping with my friendships and family relations. I just always believe that everyone thinks like me so when I say something rude and/or out of line I never take into character about how the other person feels, or why they are upset. I need to learn to take in consideration of other peoples emotions and watch what I say.
A goal that I am working towards for now and in the future is having a set routine. I have problems with sticking with one thing and going for it with all my attention. I constantly get distracted and find something else that i'd rather do. This has affected my social life and my future career choices. I always feel the pressure to choose one things and stick with it even though Im still trying to discover myself as as a person, but now that im about to graduate high school, I have realized the importance of stability. I need to find something that i reallty enjoy and stick with it whether its my career, my social groups, or a simply excercise routine because it will help me in the long run when I become an adult.
Friendship
This means a lot to me. Even though my Friendships havent all succeded, maybe due to my young age, this is still something i look towards. i have had many powerful, emotional Friendships with people that i dont even talk to anymore. I understand now that that is okay and and sometimes feelings fade, and that you kind of just have to let that happen. Now that i understand that i am still growing as a person, i accept that feeling and cherish the people who are in my life now for however long they decide to be their, but in the end all is well. Honesty Something I look for in others. I bealive that there could be no relationship without honesty. Well not a healthy one at least. I believe its because people do indeed fear the truth whether their lying to someone or themselves. Once you break the barier and see things for what they truly are, then you can be at peace. Honesty leads to healthy realationships and a long care free life. Patience Still learning to this day. My eagerness always gets the best of me, and things sometimes dont come out the way I pictured it in my head. I have to learn that flowers take time to grow, and that overwatering it will only cause it to drown. In other words, The best things come with time and lots of sunlight. Usually during holiday me and my family stay home. We feel that that this is a time for you and your close relatives to share. The night before me and my mother would wrap presents to Christmas music, drink eggnog and having a laugh. I feel that Christmas Eve is a sacred time to bond with your loved ones. Christmas morning my Baby sister gets up at 6:00am on the dot, and runs into the living room to see what "Santa" has left her. The pure excitement and joy on her face brings warmth to me and my mother. We all share a moment and then leave to go to my families house to have Christmas dinner. Everyone is having a good time laughing and cooking. My cousins are playing, running around getting themselves in trouble. Even though I myself will not celebrate Christmas when I am able, I do enjoy the family time.
"Try to look at your weakness and convert it into your strength. That's success." — Zig Ziglar12/8/2016 Ones weakness is ones strength. One cannot be successful without having a weakness. One cannot start from the top with out being at the bottom first. your weaknesses make you who you are today, and with weaknesses we learn. We learn how to deal and overcome them, for they are our strengths. without our weaknesses, we simply are not human. Every successful person has overcame their weaknesses. to become the person that they are today. I will not share my weaknesses, for i think that is personal meant to be kept to yourself, but I will say that I am still working with them. Whether your weakness be physical or figurative, they can be overcame. The first step to so is to accept the fact that you are not perfect. Nobody is perfect, but there is nothing wrong with that. Your imperfection make you unique to the world, defines you as a human. Once you accept that than life will be a breeze. You can finally be happy and care free because nothing can tear you down. Anything negative that someone can say cannot harm you because you know who you are, you know what you can do, and nobody can tell you otherwise. your weakness can convert into your strength but you have to realize that they exist first.
Focusing on school work is my weakness. I constantly procrastinate and i realize that doing so wont help me but damage me but i do it anyway. last tri was rough for me but this tri i plan on to stop the cycle of procrastination by using my time wisely.since I have 2 hours to be on the computer, im going to take advantage of that and get my work done. Another weakness of mine is coming to school. Its hard when you never get enough sleep and dont have the motivation to get ready for school. I know now that im kond of forced to not miss any school now, but it will motivate to get my life together and get what i have to get done. ![]() Dear FutureMe, I should tell you all the things not to do, but that wouldn't really matter. I am going to tell you all the things that you should do/ accomplish before life takes its tole. i want to tell you to live your life to the fullest. learn and do new things that you never imagined yourself doing. meet new people, travel the world, do things that will make you happy. remember that no one can take your happiness away from you, but you. appreciate every little thing in life that may or may not irritate you. know that every thing that is happening to you now is meant to happen and that god has a plan for you. know that you are loved and never forget who you are.do things that focus on the good and peaceful things in life. meditate if that's what will make you calm. go hiking if that's what will give you time, write poetry if that's what will free your mind, JUST DO IT ALL. visit mom and dad if you feel you need the comfort, but most importantly be happy and keep going on. ![]() The article I just read is titled “5 reasons your portfolio should be online” by George Couros. This article is about people should start making more online portfolios’ other than paper portfolios’ for a list of reasons. One reason being for creating opportunities instead of looking for them. Another reason being for searching and organization. I think my portfolio will benefit me now and in the future for getting a job and for colleges to look at. I feel that you should begin making your portfolio in high school (9th grade) because that is when mostly everything you do matters and it is put towards your future. This step will help you get employed because usually the employee will check to see what you are good at in order for you to get that job. I included my references to my portfolio that would help me with getting a job or applying for college. I wish that the resume was taken from the requirements because I feel that it isn’t very important to my portfolio. I am most proud of my references because I have not only teachers but coaches and students leaders in my references. I found number 5 most beneficial towards my future because I relates to me so much. Number 5 is “continues learning” and that relates to me because I constantly learn in many ways even if it has to with me fixing my mistakes, I am constantly learning. I will use this information to benefit my future by learning as much as I can on the daily, even if it has to do with little things I will just keep learning. I will change how the way I view things in order to learn as much as I can, like looking at different point of view to understand more and including myself in different activities. This article applies to our chapter and/ or workplace because it has to do with portfolios and different ways you can view portfolios’. Enlightened: having or showing a rational, modern, and well-informed outlook. Extraordinary: very unusual or remarkable. ![]() In the add I just read I feel that employees violate the on time one because sometimes people can’t come to work on time due to a flat tire or health issues. I would not fire him/her if they came in late only if they weren't late every day. I would give them 5 chances. Yes I constantly see people come in late to class including myself but there usually are specific reasons why they are late. |
