How A Trash Collector's Job Is Never Done Essay

Empowerment is the act of earning power or getting empowered to achieve something. But when you get empowered by someone else it can make it 10 times easier to achieve your goal. Some of the most successful people in life had someone to help them through the good and the bad times. You acquire encouragement to keep going when you want to give up. You also gain more knowledge to complete your goal in less time. Empowerment of others makes your goal easier to reach and your life a fairly easier.

First off when you are trying to accomplish a goal it can be very difficult. You could easily just give up. But when you have someone empowering you they can give you encouragement to keep moving forward. For instance, in the story the “Scarlet Ibis”,

there is a boy how was born with fragile bones that was supposed not to walk in his entire life. But his brother went out with him everyday to practice walking and after a few weeks he could walk on his own. In the story it states “He’d nod his head, and I’d say, well if you don’t keep trying you’ll never learn”. This shows that he wanted him to see that if you give up quickly on everything it is impossible to complete anything. Also in the Scarlet Ibis it states “Finally, one day, after many weeks of practicing, he stood alone for a few seconds. I knew this could be done.” This quote shows that most things even learning to walk, take many weeks to be able to do it. When you are given empowerment by someone else they get their encouragement to achieve your goal.
Secondly, doing something by yourself,can be very difficult because you might not have all the knowledge about the topic.

When there is someone there to give you pointers and more information so you can complete the goal. In the story “A Trash Collectors Job is Never Done” a man went to Italy to climb mount Everest. He left his job of a trash collector. When he got to the last camp before the top he saw all the trash people left and realised that his job is never done. In the article it states “two days after this great achievement he stuffed 12 empty canisters into his pack and headed down the mountain”. This shows that he got the knowledge from other people that his job is never done. Also in the story the Scarlet Ibis “once I had succeeded in teaching Doodle to walk, I began to believe in my own infallibility, and I prepared a terrific development program for him, unknown to Mama and Daddy, of course. I would teach him to run, to swim, to climb trees, and to fight”. This shows when Doodle didn’t know how to do all of these things, but when his brother came and helped him he got more information on how to do all these things. Therefore, getting empowered from someone else helps you gain more knowledge and information so you can do better at the

task.
On the other hand, some people might say that getting empowered yourself is better.

This view makes sense because, In the story Still I rise it states “You may shoot me with your words,You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise”. This shows that she can recover from anything that people do to her. However, when you have someone else there to help you when you get hurt by other people. When anyone is by themselves after a while of getting hurt, you could easily give up. Therefor getting empowered by someone else can help you achieve your goal easier and help you when you are feeling

down.

Empowerment from others makes your life easier and your goal much easier to achieve. When you are feeling down and want to give up they can be there to pick you up and keep you moving forward. They also give you pointers and tips to make your life and goal easier to complete. Having someone, empower you can lead you to the path to be a successful person in the future.
