Essays on Grateful

Failing never feels good when it happens initially. No one enters into a commitment with an intention to fail. Most people pursue a goal with the expectation to succeed. Unfortunately, failure is a phenomenon that cannot be avoided. Rather than perceiving failure as a negative event or incident, there is something quite valuable to learn when one fails. Without failure growth would be limited. I have heard many times throughout life that “we learn from our failures.” When I was younger I did not understand this concept, and even as I matured this idea did not sound appealing. However, ...

Introduction

In reference to my military involvement, I am not really sure if it shows on my face, in my demeanor, but I am thankful for it. I consider it nothing less than a privilege to serve in the branch of military in which I serve. Just the fact that I live in a country that is established to the point that it is financially able and willing to provide this kind of experience to a young person seeking advancement for the pursuit of a place in life makes me more than grateful for this opportunity. I realize that all ...

The business plan project was designed as a pilot experiential project that would provide the students a hands-on capstone experience rather than the more traditional, theoretical approach. Teaming with other members of the business college who were also completing their plans, as a student I felt like a consultant on a live business project and took this opportunity to assume a number of roles in a business consultancy. As a student I worked as a consultants to assist in bringing the initial business plan to completion in preparation for presentation to the college executive committee. Completing the plan was ...

Gratitude is an important feeling, as it helps us remain humble, and teaches us contentment, despite the challenges we face daily. When I examine my life, I can see that I am deeply indebted to many people for different lessons about character. I think it is a good practice for people to acknowledge the people in their lives who have helped teach them important lessons along the way. For example, my sister has always been an important cornerstone of my life. Without her, I would not view honesty or trust as being important morals. There have been instances when ...

Question 1: Tell me about yourself?

Growing up in Saudi Arabia, I grew up in a very cultured and protected society. Within my country, we have one of the most culturally well preserved states that have wonderful culture and historic sites. What makes my country so special as well is that we have one of the most holy sites in Islam that is very closed to the public. In Saudi Arabia, there is a very tight knit community that has greatly shaped me as a person and has also shaped the education that I have received. Throughout my childhood, I had many close friends and ...

Sexual behavior and homosexuality are the sensitive issues among other issues in the world of religion. Every society has moral rules that regulate sexual behavior. However, the rules differ from society to society. At times, to its intents and purposes, the rules necessarily and sufficiently need some specific study and comparing for rational precision. At this event, the comparison of the sexual behavior of different societies with the religious beliefs displays some distinctive connection between the social structures and morals. Power argues that the monastic rules served to ensure the proper public performance of monks because it is the ...

I was fortunate to visit the beautiful Wynwood Walls, an art district in Miami, Florida. Before visiting the art district, I tried to get some more information on the gallery and what it had to offer to its visitors. I leant that Wynwood was a warehouse area at one time and full of dilapidated buildings (Wynwood Walls 2016). However, it is today a magnet for artists, who display their large sized works and lure Miami locals and visitors alike. It is just a couple of minutes away from downtown Miami and boasts of offering some of the most stunning ...

The following analysis of Persona and Solaris reveals how movies from unlike countries and of different genres portray the development of opposite human personalities while losing or gaining humanity under the external influences and internal self-recognition. The attempts to create a fine movie about internal and external of human life do not often impress much, especially nowadays when we experience an endless flow of visual images. Probably, it inspires people to look back at the classic works that not only represent the unusual transformations in the forms of self but also produce extraordinary rhythms in the scenes (Tarkovsky 113). ...

Improving Self-Esteem with Positive Self-Talk, Affirmations, and Journaling

Jane Doe Introduction Too often the phrase “think positive” gets thrown around in most self-help groups and literature involving improving one’s sense of self, but the statement is one that should not be taken lightly. Many problems that are faced by people struggling with various mental illnesses stem from the negative internal dialogue further aggravating the chemical imbalances that may exist or be dormant. Whether the individual be a believer of holistic therapy or empirically proven medical therapies, the proof of positive self-talk, daily affirmations and journaling about one’s experience has been shown to transform one’s ...

Personal Values: Reflect on what you value and how those values guide your daily choices. For example, your core values might include constructs such as Religion, Education, or Family. Positive/Optimistic Thinking: Think of any negative thoughts you have about yourself, others, and a circumstance. For example, you might always put yourself down for not being thin enough, or smart enough (negative self though) or you see your current financial situation as unbearable (negative thought about circumstance). How might you think about these differently or more optimistically? List three negative thinking patterns (self, others, circumstance) and how you might reframe ...

The United Sates is a rich country, but the level of strife and poverty in some areas is astounding. The poverty has led to the adoption of different means of survival. The means of survival are obscene, dangerous and place the society under a wrong moral perception. One way ladies have taken to help themselves economically is through prostitution, which the decent class in society has given fancy names such as sex soliciting and sex trade. The girls are referred to as call girls in the more affluent neighborhoods. It is an indication of the respect afforded to the profession. It ...

- Start with the name or designation of the individual to whom the report is being sent. The incident report often starts with the person to receive it as a matter of priority. It may be the Supervisor or another senior staff in an insurance company. As a matter ...

New experiences in life such as death usually cause a considerable amount of anguish especially in cases where the deceased person was a close friend or a relative.

In particular, the reflection provides a general concern regarding the quality of medical care that the elderly residents get in the residential and nursing homes.The treatment of Johns’ mother at the nursing home shows that the quality of care is not the same as that which elders get in their own homes. Nursing care is the responsibility ...

Shakespeare exhibits his keen sense of society in The Tempest, where he portrays the troubling nature—as well as the consequences—of colonial expansion. Shakespeare participates in the condemnation of colonialism, exposing the potential for mental destruction and inhumanity beyond measure when a colonizer deems himself superior to the colonized. Furthermore, he reveals the need to reexamine our history and rid ourselves of residual guilt. The aftermath of remorse and disappointment causes us to suppress memories of our colonial past, “often deluded and unsuccessful in [our] attempts to disown the burdens of [our] colonial inheritance” (Ghandi 4). Shakespeare’s play ...

I was talking to a friend who was complaining about his lack of accomplishments in his life, and he began to implicate me in his self-pity, implying that I was in just as bad of shape as myself. It triggered the thought of criticism. While I did not mention anything to my friend, I was very critical of him as a person, and especially as a friend. The thought triggered feelings of anger, and low self-worth. This reaction fits into the judgment/criticism/blaming response, which is an ineffective way to cope with stress. Also, I was waiting in a very long line at ...

Chapter I How Far Can You Go with Self-therapy Having an actual therapist is better than attempting to treat you. Some people believe that all they have to do is read a book and apply self-therapy. When we attempt to do this we don’t know if we are really getting the message. We think we are getting it, but there is no way to determine if the message we are getting is the message the author intended for us to get. A therapist will actually be on the outside looking in so they can see more. As with ...

BOOK REPORT

In 231 pages, the writer has traced the life story of the great Saint Paul, describing his adventures and perils in the sacred journey of his life. There are apt illustrations which help to visualize the circumstances of those times. This is the story of Saul of Tarsus, who later became St. Paul the Apostle. A Jew by birth, Paul persecuted ...

Review The concert I attended was at Madison Square Garden, New York. Time proved to be an elastic aspect on a Grateful Dead stage. The ending of the song happened after every possibility set in the structure and organized by the group's improvising empathy was tested and fulfilled simultaneously. One of the participants, Lesh, gave a good thought of the 31-minute stretching in a vocal charm. The escalating instrumental break was a glorious connected fury consisting of five voices racing in parallel and jamming, as well. The long roll of the music composition was a good evidence of the rapidly advancing idea evident in ...

Question 1 A) Goodwill messages serve the purpose of enhancing inter-personal relationships at the workplace as they show that people care about, appreciate and recognize the efforts of each other. Good inter-personal relationships are important because they create a good working environment which leads to the success of a business.

Selflessness The focus of the message should be on the receiver of the message, if sending a recognition message only talk about the efforts of the receiver without including others as this will water down the message and not fulfill its purpose which is building interpersonal relationships.

Honesty is one of the man’s best qualities. Honesty can build lifelong relationships, which lies in no way will be capable of making. People will develop trust in you, your deeds and your words if you respect them enough to be honest with them. As well as built on honesty, trustworthy relationships are based on honesty. They are hard to gain and are hard to maintain and can be very easily destroyed. Deceive the person once and you will never be trusted again. Think twice when you are about to lie about anything.

My passion for communication burns like fire. Giving the right information and communicating to people in a free system motivates me to fight for freedom of speech. I was introduced in broadcasting through the performing arts. Participating in public concerts was an area of interest. Communication had turned out to be an elementary necessity in life. My aspiration was determined by a family trauma, which I witnessed. I experienced the impact of mass media. My cousin-in-law had committed suicide due to complex family issues. The media distorted the facts and outsiders mistook him to be a bad person. We were in deep ...

Reflection Paper

Part 1: Reflection on weekly journals Reflecting on the journals I wrote during my internship gave me the insight that the experience and my exposure to pre-K students taught me a lot life lessons that helped me mature both for my future career and for life in general. For one, my studies prepared me to face children who I initially thought to be easy to handle because teaching them entails much fun and play. However, my experience in the internship made me realize that handling children takes great skill and knowledge of learning development and psychology. I had ...

The creation of spiritual autobiographies helps readers to understand the intensity of the spiritual growth that the authors experience. Examples of significant spiritual autobiographies include John Woolman who creates “In the Journal of John Woolman” and Anne Bradstreet who creates “To My Dear Children”. There are significant differences in the denominations of the two authors. For example, Woolman is a Quaker while Bradstreet is a Puritan. They create their narrations in similar ways because of the respective attachments that they seem to have with religion. In both their autobiographies, the

1) "Halley's Comet" by Stanley Bunitz

This passage is meant to demonstrate the excitement and joy that young boys feel at the exciting and the new - the boy does not quite understand that his life and the lives of everyone else would end. All he knows is that "there'd be no school tomorrow." The way Halley's Comet is described in the beginning evokes exciting things that boys love, including train tracks and high speeds. This visceral language makes the whole affair sound thrilling, and this appeals to the boy.

In the passage itself, he is telling God where ...

All people have someone in their life, who are very important for them and influence their life considerably. Every day we meet many people, who play some role in our lives, but only some of them leave a remarkable trace in our experience. Some of them are close to us, while the others aren’t, and the time we know them can also differ. I think that I am very lucky to have my parents as such influential and important people in my life, as because of them I have a strong support in everything I do and I am sure that ...

Letters to the editor are similar in structure as depicted in all the fourteen letters given in the appendix. Every letter shows the writer’s details i.e. name of the writer, his/her hometown, and the date of publication. The letters are also grouped according to the title. Letters under same title are grouped together in the same page. In my analysis, the first six letters discuss the same topic: “Read This Before Your Feast.” The other letters also share a common topic i.e. Letters # 7 and 8 discuss “Company Secretary, Personal Busines,” letters # 9 and 10 share the topic “The ...

‘You have to close your eyes,’ Megan said. Smiling, Frankie closed her eyes and allowed Megan to lead her into the room.‘Okay,’ said Megan, ‘open!’

Frankie opened her eyes and stared. There, on her chest of drawers, propped against the wall, was a beautiful mirror. It was large in size – Frankie could see her and Megan’s full reflections from their thighs upwards – and it was framed in white marble, carved into the shapes of flowers and leaves, running down the side of the mirror.

‘It’s beautiful.’ Frankie ran her hand down the side of the mirror, pausing ...
