Recommended: The perspective of generosity

"Thank you, but you have given me more than money can buy. Take that money and enjoy yourselves." With that, Mr. Johnson left the couple to talk with his spouse. Mr. Johnson let himself in, and called to his wife who was sitting on the couch knitting a blanket. "Hello dear, how was your day," Mrs. Johnson called. "Well honey, I'm going to stop the switch. I dislike treating people badly and then treating others great. I am Mr. Johnson, who has an average attitude that only changes in the right occurrences. Mr. Johnson does not switch, he enjoys his retirement, and the state of being lazy. Mr. Johnson would love to enjoy his retirement with his wife while walking the streets not looking for bad, not looking for good; but looking for couples

    Well John was helping me with the chores he and I got to some talking. He couldn’t stop going on and on about you. He is so proud to be your husband. He loved being able to care for you. He cherished how he could earn everything for you with his own two hands.

  • Personal Narrative: My Name

    439 Words  | 1 Pages

    All of my life I have been called countless names, some of which irritated me and some did not bother me at all. In elementary school, when kids thought about the name ‘Jackie’ they tended to connect it to Jackie Chan thus calling me ‘Jackie Chan’. Furthermore, the kids seemed to link the name to being a masculine name the majority of the time, which began to annoy me since I answered the question, “Why do you have a boy’s name,” so many times. As years went by, I became used to being asked the question and the kids matured, thus stopped calling me ‘Jackie Chan.’

  • Personal Narrative: Identity

    1339 Words  | 3 Pages

    Identity-“Ones personal qualities.”Identiy is something only he or she can fully define. My uncle says I am affectionate,cheerful, and calm. My grandmother sees me as slim, pretty and sweet. My dad described me as perky, cheerful and happy, my mom says beautiful, gentle, and self-conscious. These adjectives describe me accurately, yet they are only abstract versions of me. Adjectives cannot begin to describe me and I aknowlege these descriptions for what they are, a condensed translation from my outward self to the world. It is impossible for anyone to understand me completely because nobody has experienced the things I have. My mother has never cherished a raggedy doll named Katie and my father never spent hours upon hours making collages and scrap books for his future children. My uncle never hid in the back of a pick-up-truck and traveled four hours to New York and my grandmother has never walked hours in the rain looking for the Queen of England. My identity is something only I can define.

  • Personal Narrative: The Person I Am Today

    550 Words  | 2 Pages

    There are many things that have molded me into the person I am today such as being born into a family with four children. With three siblings, I have been forced to be able to work out problems from stealing each other’s toys to having to rush to the emergency room to get stiches because my brother chased me around the house and I tripped. My mother, father, brother, and two sisters were all born in Pennsylvania and I am the odd ball and I was born in Adrian, Michigan. From when I was a child I always loved being involved with sports because of my competitive nature. I grew up playing soccer and having success with that but then my love changed and I began playing lacrosse and football. I started playing lacrosse in middle school and played

    There were answers given that mirrored mine explicitly. It was indicated that some of the answers were difficult to find much to change. However, the answers that meaningfully differed from mine appeared centered on personality and behavior, so the correctness of my view certainly is not perfect. My perspective has shifted very slightly as a result of this assignment. I demonstrated a tendency to evaluate potential change from an impersonal viewpoint without considering personal characteristics that might be bothersome to

  • What Is Being Proactive Essay

    852 Words  | 2 Pages

    Instead of accepting that I am a certain way, I know I can choose a different approach. Instead of focusing on negative emotions, I know I can control my emotions. Reactive language becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, while proactive language creates the reality I want to see. By being proactive, and subordinating feelings to values, I can bring anything I desire into my life. I am ready to become more aware of where I focus my time and energy. I do this by determining what I have real control over and focusing my energy there. By focusing on what I can control and letting go of what I cannot, I am maximizing my productivity. The things I am concerned about but cannot control can only take my focus off the things I can change for the better. I am determined to grow my circle of influence and shrink my circle of control. I can solve problems that I can directly control by working on my habits. I can solve problems I indirectly control by changing my methods of influence and how I react. Problems I cannot control can be helped by taking the responsibility to work through them with cheer and

  • The Nature Of Personality

    1335 Words  | 3 Pages

    However, few studies focus solely on the plasticity of personality in the elderly, as they too are confronted by various life changes (Maiden, Peterson, & Caya, 1999). A longitudinal study conducted by Maiden, Peterson, & Caya (1999), is significant in measuring personality change among the elderly through a sample of elderly women, averaging eighty years old. Maiden, Peterson, & Caya (1999) hypothesized that personality change takes place predominantly in times when the conditions of one’s existence change dramatically, anticipating moderate change. Participants were sampled multiple times, revealing that as negative life changes were made, personality followed suit. For example, Maiden, Peterson, & Caya (1999) found that participants felt they were less extroverted when suffering poorer health. Likewise, participants indicated that nervousness and irritability intensified, also owing mainly to undesirable life changes. The conclusions drawn by Maiden, Peterson, & Caya (1999) allow the confirmation of their hypothesis. Therefore, the plasticity of an individual’s personality throughout their life, even in it’s final stages, is undeniably

  • Who Am I?-Personal Narrative

    486 Words  | 1 Pages

    As a child, I used to wonder why my mother was always hesitant to let me be outside when the night came and why my dad always wanted me to wear light (visible) clothing. It was until one night, where I had a pretty scary encounter with an officer on my way back home that things started to make sense. You see I was out with my friends pretending to be warriors on an epic adventure and I lost track of time. Once I realized I was late, I began rushing home and my friends following behind and this soon became a race. As we approached my friends house (I lived about another block down) he caught up to me and began to wrestle me for first place. When I got the upper hand, a cop pulled up got out of his car and told me to freeze. I froze and the cop asked my friend if he was okay and if I did anything to him ( I forgot to mention my friend wasn't a person of color). "No way" I said speaking for my friend, then the cop told me to shut up while putting his hand on his holstered weapon. Luckily, my friend's father came out and handled the issue, he walked me home and explained what happened to my parents. The look of fear on my mother's face and anger on my father's face was one I have never seen before, and when my friend's dad left they turned to me and scolded me, but it all made sense.
