The first quality from my affirmation is compassion. I demonstrated that quality was when my friends grandmother passed away. I was there for her at school,…
I show outstanding character by being trustworthy, patient, and by helping others if they need help. If I say something will get done it will be done in a timely manner. For example, my dogs had to go out every one to two hours when they were being house broken so I made sure I took them out or asked to see if they were out recently. Another way that I show character in is MMA by being patient if someone does not understand something so they can get it or by trying to explain how to do it in a different way.…
Our attitude plays a large role in the behavior we exhibit. When we're feeling motivated and positive, we smile, we compliment our team, and we empower those around us. When we're feeling negative, the reverse is often true – we can be impatient, we get angry at our people, and we might even yell or argue.…
positive attitude to have others show a positive attitude even if everything that is being done is not…
Now I’m going to talk about my positive traits. I like helping people, if there is something I can do, I will do it. I believe that when you do something good for other people you get two things 1, the satisfaction of helping and two, God will reward you for the good action. According to my family I’m a joyful person I’m always smiling and making people laugh. Like I said in the beginning, I don’t like showing people my weaknesses and that includes when I’m sad or depress. I prefer keeping it all to myself and act like everything is okay. I put others first than me, I think that is something good because it doesn’t make me a selfish person. Another positive trait that I will always be thankful to my parents is showing me good manners and to…
On the positive side, I never take blame that belongs to other people. I am very sincere and straight-forward. I always motivate myself by remembering good feelings or events that come with a certain action/activity. I always make sure to keep myself happy by assuming things are going well, until I learn differently.…
My character has always been an important concept within my life. This is because character is comprised of honesty, selflessness, and compassion. No matter what the situation is, it has always been imperative to me to be honest with not just those around me, but with myself. For example, I once noticed that an instructor had given me a higher grade than I deserved on a quiz, I never hesitated to report the mistake and made sure that my work was graded…
Egoism is the act of behaving self-interestedly, and is perceived as a negative trait even though it can be seen as a tool of survival (Rosenstand, 2003: 131). However, there is an opposing theory, which is altruism. Altruism is defined as a concern for the welfare of others and is considered virtuous (Rosenstand, 2003: 150). We are often made aware of heroes who risk their lives for others and these heroes inspire many. We are encouraged to be altruistic, early in our lives. Nonetheless, one notices how altruist acts usually include rewards, even if it’s just a simple thank you. This leads to questions such as, does true altruism exist, or do people always have a motive as to why they perform altruistically?…
I think that my attitude about gratitude is very important. Over the past couple weeks, I have been assingned to write about what I am grateful for or something good that has happened to me that day. I think that this has really truly strengthed my health in a lot of ways. I used to think that I wasn’t that wealthy. I used to think that everyone has more than me. I have had a talk about this with my parents and they have said that you should be so grateful for what you have. I have been thinking about this lately and its really got to me. I have read an article that there was a group of kids. Someone asked all of them to write down what they were thankful for each day. Some of the kids did it and some didn’t. it turns out that the ones who did it were the most happy. They were so happy and cheerful rather than the other kids who did not appreciate all that they had. They think that they should just be automatically given that stuff. If you think like that you will never be happy. I have learned from experience. When you are grateful for everything you are happy about everything. If you are happy about everything, then it can effect you entire health. Mentally and Socially. Just like we have gotten to write in a gratitude journal, that is practicing for many things. In my article, it says “people that have gratitude tend to be more creative, bounce back more quickly from adversity, have a stronger immune system, and have stronger social relationships than those who don’t practice gratitude. I think this totally true and I agree with it. In the end, being grateful makes you feel so amazing and happy.…
Ever since my parents’ divorce my dad has always told me to be independent and to achieve everything on my own so no one could have the satisfaction of saying they’re the reason for my accomplishments. His words have been a reason behind my motivation for as long as I could remember. Growing up my family has always told me that you receive the effort you put into achieving something and if failed I was encouraged to try again. Like in “Brainology”, an article that compares two groups of mindsets-Fixed mindset and Growth mindset, Dweck argues that motivation, performance and confidence are results of being praised for effort rather than for intelligence (Dweck 4).…
Character is someone that everyone admires and sets good examples and to me there are no…
At this level, I was born in a family that has passion in helping people. However,…
I found two articles that offer me insight in what may be affecting my misperception. In my mind I am an “impostor” who finds himself “STUCC.” (The Dangers of Feeling Like a Fake, Kets De Vries, Harvard Business Review, Sept. 2005; The Perils of Outperformance: STUCC, Exline and Lobel, American Psychological Association, 1999) With each successful completion of a goal, though it makes me happy, that feeling is replaced by anxiety- I question how I made it and wonder when I’m going to fail because “there’s no way I deserve [this].” Having achieved success, those with whom I interact praise my accomplishments and make comments about my capabilities. Because I am self-deprecating, these interactions are often uncomfortable. I feel like those individuals are making an upward comparison to me, which makes me feel anxiety. The external perception that I am capable and an achiever comes into direct conflict with my own perception of me being less than capable and “just making it.” This leads me to try to take on more than I can…
I have lots of positive energy. Anyone who knows me says I constantly have positive energy. I always try to see the bright side, and when a friend of mine is sad I try to cheer them up. For example, this year everyone had negative energy going into Decade Day and said we had no chance of winning. I constantly told people to have faith in us, and if we were enthusiastic enough we could win. At first, no one believed me, then after I persistently told people to be positive, people came around. By Decade Day everyone had positive energy rushing through their veins, and sure enough we won Decade Day. I am a positive person, and it rubs off on others.…
that children and the adults who were given positive feedback for their performance have shown increased interest, and increased effort in their assigned tasks. Opposite to this belief Kohn (1993), who wrote that “the most notable aspect of a positive judgment is not that it is positive but that it is a judgment” Understood praise as a Detrimental mechanisms. Some psychologists believe that the evaluative manner which praise exercises can increase self-consciousness and alertness of a child so much that it can destruct him/her to accomplish the task. What I found interesting about these contradicting ideas is that they reflect the importance of proper and timely use of praise, and contradicts the general idea that praise is always good.…
