Title: Don’t Regret Regret; by Kathryn Schulz The speaker, Kathryn Schulz, talks about don’t regret regret. I think the speech was informative and I did enjoyed it. I agree with Schulz about the fact that majority of people feel regret after receiving a negative feedback because of a bad decision made. I also like the fact that she began her speech with an example. Introducing Johnny Depp was a good way to start because it brought the audience attention to her. I once gave a speech and I started with a short documentary which made my speech very lively and enjoyable. I did receive a run of applause even before my speech ended. Kathryn used herself as an example of regret which made her speech very active. I also like the fact that she used I cried for weeks and I repeatedly asked myself why I had an error on the form that day. Again, I like what Kathryn Schulz said and I quote, “One of the noblest and best things we can is to live life free of regret. “Anytime I made a mistake, it takes a longer period of time for me to get over it, which intend causes me to lose focus in some the most important things in life such studies. So, if people learn to let go of the mistakes made, not only are they preventing future consequences, but they will actually live a stress-free life which is healthy and peaceful. Kathryn, brought in a quote from Lady Macbeth,” Things without a remedy should be without regard; what’s done is done.” Sometimes what people need to know is that they cannot changed the past, however they can plan again and avoid the mistakes that were made the first time. Another thing I learned from Kathryn is that as humans, mistakes are bound to happen, when they do live it behind and move on with your life. Most people go into a state of denial whenever something bad happens. They have hard time accepting what has happened. I think if twenty percent of American are picked and asked how they manage regret in their life, I think more than half of them will accept the fact that they cannot
Brene Brown main point about her speech is vulnerability. Her main point of this is to understand or know what he feel and to embrace that in us. We shouldn't brig ourselves down thinking that are emotions how we feel about things makes us weak. It makes us stronger and we realize how when we feel vulnerable we need to take action and defeat it. We also need to be aware that when people see that your vulnerability they can easily target you to bring you down making you feel less confident.
Kathryn Allamong Jacob’s “She Couldn’t Have Done It, Even if She Did,” reflects America’s history of inequality and gender stereotypes that greatly affected society’s mindsets, even when it involved murder. Lizzie Borden was an upper-class, gentile, unmarried woman who still lived with her father and stepmother at the age of thirty-two. Being an active member of her community and part of the Women’s Christian Temperance movement, she fell perfectly into her stereotypical role as a beloved daughter who, unable to devote her love to a husband, devoted her time and energy to the betterment of her community. Lizzie, being a wealthy and moral woman, could never brutally murder her father and stepmother, she was incapable of even thinking of it, or was she? Jacob’s story of the murders of Mr. and Mrs. Borden in 1893 describes how gender stereotypes can influence the minds of a nation and how the public and media influence, male dominated court hearing, and refute of evidence all lead to Lizzie’s full pardon.
Unfortunately life has many hurdles and roads unturned. I do not feel we should regret the mistakes we have made in our past. Or else, we may be too hesitant to make correct choices in our future.
Susan Smith could have been a normal woman. If you passed her on the streets you wouldn’t know that she would turn out to be a killer. Susan had a secret though, a deadly secret. Susan Smith was a cold, calculating killer, capable of murder in cold blood. I believe Susan had many factors contributing to the state of mind she had before the murder of her two sons, like her traumatizing childhood and the many dysfunctional relationships she had.
Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom is a true story of an old man and his way of dealing with the knowledge that he is slowly dying, and a disease is taking over his body.
Melanie Klein was born in Vienna, Austria in 1882 on March 30th. She began being interested in psychoanalysis between 1910 -1919. She is said to be a pioneer of child analysis and early development. Melanie started working as a psychoanalyst around the time of World War I. In 1910 Klein and her family, which included a husband, and two children, (a daughter, and a son) moved to Budapest. In 1912 she became a member of the Hungarian Psychoanalytic Society, and started her analytic training with Sandor Fereczi. She later moved to Berlin and started working with Karl Abraham from 1924-1925. Although she spent more time with Fereczi than Abraham, her work with Abraham is considered more important to her work. (Juliet Mitchell, Selected Melanie Klein Pg. 9-10)
“While I drew, and wept along with the terrified children I was drawing, I really felt the burden I am bearing. I felt that I have no right to withdraw from the responsibility of being an advocate.” – Kathe Kollwitz.
In The Great Gatsby, James Gatz is a poor boy who falls in love with a beautiful, eccentric millionaire named Daisy Fay. In an attempt to gain her affection, he quickly recreates himself to mimic her wants in a man. He finds ways to be near her, even after she is married, and moves into the West Egg of Long Island. When Daisy and Gatsby finally meet again, the romanticism is short lived. After many nights together, Daisy prepares herself to tell her husband, Tom, that she is leaving him for Jay Gatsby. In the end, she panics and plans on dropping the topic, but a quick glance with Gatsby gives her feelings away. Daisy wants to ignore her feelings, but she fails to move past her relationship with Gatsby, which becomes evident to her friends. In the end, she chooses to stay with her husband despite her feelings; she does this because she believes that change would only cause more problems. Gatsby is crushed by her actions, but fails to realize the true extent of them. He continues to pester her with hopes of rekindling a relationship that ended years ago, but she refuses, and immediately moves away with Tom. This action drives Gatsby mad, and his utter devotion for Daisy is the last thought on his mind when Wilson kills him. Sara Teasdale, a poet in the 1900s, is scared of this kind of commitment; she knows that love for another will only bring about her own demise. Faced with depression and an illness that leaves her bed-ridden for much of her life, she is heavily dependent on others to survive. She becomes close with few friends because she does not want to burden them. When she must choose between two lovers, she picks Ernst Filsinger, despite her affection for another, just as Daisy does. These actions leave not only herself hur...
In the same way, both Wes Moore’s both regret in their childhood and through their adulthood about their mistake in their lives. This point is illustrated in the passage, “Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” (Quoted from Samuel Buckett)...“Failing does not make us a failure. But not trying to do better, to be better, does make us fools” (Moore 185). The explanation of quote point is the quote is to attempt till you succeed or never surrender. On the chance that you come up short once, attempt once more. On the chance that you fall flat second time, do it again. This disappointment again ought to be superior to the past disappointment. There ought to be some realizing and some change. They cannot make it in the first attempt. The (author) Wes Moore acknowledges and tries to enhance by taking a shot at the reasons of his
Sonya Kovalevsky was born on January 15, 1850 in Moscow, Russia. She grew up in a very intellectual family. Her father was a military officer and a landholder; her mother was the granddaughter of a famous Russian astronomer and an accomplished musician. She grew up living a lavish life, and was first educated by her uncle, who read her fairy tales, taught her chess, and talked about mathematics. She even bumped into the subject of trigonometry while studying elementary physics. She achieved all of this by the age of thirteen.
With parts of the context missing the way in which the speaker delivered the speech could have helped distract from those flaws. For instance within her attention getter she jumped for one of the slogans, which gave the appearance that she was really into the speech, but then giggled about it for a few seconds. This made the audience wonder about the seriousness to come. Throughout the entire speech hand gestures were nonexistent. The speaker did however change the pitch of her voice frequently. The first time was when the speaker asked the audience what the car keys meant, and then again when the slogans were restated. Another flaw in the delivery was the amount of time she spent looking at the notecard. The speaker had two green notecards, which both were covered completely. She was constantly looking down reading the notecards. In turn there were many unneeded pauses. Those pauses were not impactful ones either, but just a quiet whole while the speaker was reading. Following most of the pauses was um, ah, so, but,or you know. The filler words took away from the message the speaker was trying to get across. Overall the words used throughout were easy to understand, but sometimes a little bit repetitive. For instance she used plethora twice about 10 seconds apart. The speaker did however look the part. She had on a pair of slacks with a sweater. By looking professional it gave some automatic respect. Overall the
The majority of people have a subject they were never good at. Unless your a genius or have a photographic memory, kudos to you. But the rest of us have to work twice as hard to achieve a passing grade to at least pass the class. Some of us have been told, horrible things that discourages us and we just give up. Verbal words, that have a huge negative impact on us. Now, this paper isn’t to make you feel sorry about yourself, this paper is to reflect on your ups and downs on the subject you had the most trouble at. I know its scary admitting your faults but how can you move one from your faults if you don’t admit them? But while admitting your faults you also have your strengths, even if it was determination to keep going, that is something you should be proud of, because you never gave up.
once one thing goes wrong, overtly acknowledge it as your fault, and even feel that you simply ate the external explanation for the problem. And your take responsibility of your actions and move on. As Romeo was crying concerning his banishment he did not acknowledge what he has done and he did not need to move on until the nurse talked some sense to him. The nurse told him that there's more in life you should not worry concerning admit your the matter and move on. In conclusion moving on is one of the responsibility you have to take into3 fixing your downfall in
I consider Steve Jobs’ commencement speech at Stanford University in 2005 to be one of the most effective speeches. He uses mechanics of speech to craft a well-rounded speech that is crowned by his use of rhetorical devices. Jobs gives relevant and fundamental knowledge of his life and experiences with his rhetorical approach. In his speech to the Stanford’s graduation class, he tells different stories of love, loss, discovery and difficulty he faced in his life to encourage new graduates as they continue to mature in life. He encourages students to pursue their dreams and not be discouraged by failures they might experience in life.
Should mistakes be looked at as something to be ashamed of? Being a human, mistake are inevitable. There is no such thing as someone who has not ever questioned an action performed or a decision made. Humans are given a conscious, this is strictly for making decisions. It helps one makes decisions by questioning everything. By doing this, uncertainty is not out of the question. Wrong choices, and bad actions are not something one should ever be ashamed of. Wrong choices, and bad actions that are performed more then once are something one should be ashamed of.
