How much are people in charge of what happens to them? Read the following statements:
- You may not be able to change your circumstances, but you can change how you react to them.
- Your attitude has no effect on the things that can happen to you.
- People can overcome just about anything if they try hard enough.
In order to receive full credit you must write at least 5 complete and coherent sentences. You must also respond to a classmate's post in a thoughtful manner.
I agree that people can overcome just about anything if they try hard enough to overcome it. I do not believe that you cannot change your path, you may make mistakes but you just have to get right back on track and continue to try your hardest. I also think that what you do in life can also change the direction you can go in, like having a good job or having reliable friends that can help you when your having bad days. I believe that you can change your destiny.
ReplyDeleteYes, i totally agree with what you said, but i think you can change your path by re-inventing yourself and making the right choices.
DeleteI agree with you fully, I feel you have the power to change your outcomes if you just try hard enough. Even if it may seem impossible, if you give it your all you can achieve anything you put you mind to.
DeleteI agree with most of the stuff your saying but i don't agree with when you said " I do not believe that you cannot change your path" in my opinion if you can overcome obstacles you can definitely change your path.
DeleteI agree with what you said, but i also think that sometimes people do not have the right state of mind. having a good mind set can change everything for a person, also having a good reliable person to lean on can be very affective to. You have to keep good people around you because like the saying goes "You are who you hang around" which is very true eventually no matter what you say you get into the same habits as the people you are around. Thats why having people around you who have goals and are focused on there future will only be beneficial to you in the end.
DeleteYea i agree ,it just takes time and work to over come what you want to do or need to do.

DeleteI agree that having a good mind set can change everything, and that you are who you hang out around. If you hang around bad people you will have a bad mind set. Hanging around good people you will have a happy and good mindset.
DeleteYes, I do believe you can change your attitude in a bad situation and how you react. Lets say paint go spilled on your white shirt, it can be a splattered paint shirt. If you try hard enough there is nothing you can't do. Its takes hard work and dedication. You can also change the path your heading in just making the right choices.
ReplyDeleteI like the Example you gave, it makes a really clear statement .
DeleteI agree that choice making is very important and that you can make a negative situation positive like paint on a shirt.
DeleteI believe that a positive attitude is 80% of the battle . Why do something if your mind set is on fail? If you're going to do something , think success! Any time you do something think " I got this , who is going to stop me?" It is little things like that can make all the difference. Even if it does not go your way , think that id did. Turn a bad situation great.
ReplyDeleteI like the positive attitude, and the way you put your words.
DeleteSometimes no matter how hard you try you will fail but what you do after and before effects what can happen dramatically. You never know how one action can completely change your life. Your attitude effects how people view you it will effect what kind of friends you have how your grades are. Sometimes when things are going badly the best thing to do is just get on with your life and not let it affect you. If you have this type of mind set life can be a lot easier for you.
ReplyDeleteHaving a good attitude being happy being positive will make your life more positive. If you walk in on a test saying your going to fail your mind is set on failing and you have a greater chance of failing but if you walk in the a good attitude saying to yourself I will pass! You have a greater chance of passing because you mind is set on it. Attitude is very important and it should not be taken for granted. Saying that you can not change your circumstances is completely untrue you have to decide if you want to change your future.
I agree with this completely. You got to stay positive and be in a good mood to do better things.
DeleteIn my opinion you can overcome obstacles that come in your way if you put in the effort. However I think that your attitude can affect the things that happen to you for example if you come in somewhere with a bad attitude your most likely going to have a bad time. if you go into somewhere with a good attitude you will have a good time. I also believe that you can change how you react to circumstances by what you do in those circumstances.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the statements. Things happen, and you can’t change the circumstances, or how things work out, but you can change how you react to them. Your attitude matters in everything you do, having a bad attitude about something won’t make the situtation any better, it will make it seem way worse than what it needs to be, and may make people look more negative at you. If you have a good attitude and think positive, things will always work out on your part in the end. People can do anything they put their mind too, and can overcome any obstacle as long as they keep a positive attitude.
ReplyDeleteYou are right it does take hard work and dedication to get to where you want to be in life. all you have to do is chose the right path to take.
ReplyDeleteyes, i do agree that you can change your attitude if you are in a bad mood. For example if you propose and they say yes, and you give them an expensive ring and and about 2 months later they want to break up. Think of the positive things you get your money back you'll be rich. More money to spend.
ReplyDeleteJust to let you know this is Xavier C. and yes I'm a student here. I Strongly agree to this topic and I do believe that attitude is a big and I mean a BIG factor when it comes to an argument or a conversation. Just imagine that you getting into a conversation with you mother. If you say something in a bad attitude she will flip out and get mad but, if you keep a good attitude towards the topic and keep it clean then she will respect that and no one gets hurt...
ReplyDeleteHopefully.
You can only marginally influence your circumstances, no matter how much logic, and reason, and common sense you use, some people just won't accept it.
ReplyDeleteA lot of things can happen but they are not always in your choice.so you really just have to see how you rect and try to make sure you make the best of it. It may be hard and you don't know what to do but just make your best choices. Aslong as you have a positive attitude everything should be as good as you want it.
ReplyDeletei agree that if you have the right attitude you'll have more positive outcomes.
DeleteI agree on what your saying because you do haft to see how u react and make the best of it so u can have a positive mood
DeleteI feel you are fully in charge of what happens to you, you have the power to change what happens in your life good or bad. Many people say that its impossible to get things like good grades or a good job, but if you try hard enough you can reach any goal. Of course it may take lots of time, hard work, and determination but in the long run it pays off completely. As long as you continue trying and never give up you can control what happens in your life.
ReplyDeleteI do believe that your attitude effects what happens to you, because if your the one being rude to people and treating people poorly your going to need to relise that will most likely be the same way people will treat you in return. There is always a way to change the way your react to situations, its your choice whether or not to reaction badly to that situation or just move on and treat it as something you can learn from. I don't believe that a person can change they way they once were, I believe that they are the same person they once were but grown up in that category...nobody can change in life. People can work hard enough to grow up in the ways that they once were so immature in, and strive for better things. This is possible and not something you should just let go.
ReplyDeleteI agree no one one can change what their circumstances ,but i also disagree because I believe people can change the out come of the circumstances. I also agree that people can overcome anything if you put your mind to it but i disagree that your attitude won't have a effect on your circumstances.I believe if you have a bad attitude towards a certain situation will have a negative effect on the outcome same is to be said about having a good attitude.
ReplyDeleteI agree because anyone can overcome anything , but your attitude can effect on things that can happen to you because if you say something in a type of tone , something can happen and , have effect .
ReplyDeleteI agree about almost every thing except the part where it says your attitude has no effect on the possible things that are going to happen to you. Your attitude does have an effect on you, If you think everything is going positive while you know it's going down the negative path, well thinking everything is positive could make your mind believe everything is going positive. I agree on how you can change how you react to things, like if you get if something goes wrong and you don't freak out and you are calm about everything, mostly every things going to be going well and work out for you. You are in charge of yourself as much as you are willing to be in control, and how much you are able to handle. I also agree on the statement saying people can over come almost any/everything if they put full effort and don't get off track.
ReplyDeleteI think your attitude is important because f your have a good attitude you will have good friends to help you with your decision making. If you believe you can achieve anything that you set your mind to. No matter what there will be an outcome wether its good or bad, you decide.
ReplyDeleteI agree because if you have a good attitude your friends would want to help you.
DeleteI agree that you might not be able to change the circumstances but you can change the way you react to them. I also agree that if you work hard enough you can do anything. For example if your your an athlete like me and you can't do a certain skill then you can't just sit around and expect it to come to you. You need to at least try to attempt it or else your not going to get it. But if you keep trying you will eventually get it. You might mess up a few times but you just need to work hard and keep trying.
ReplyDeleteI agree that you cannot change your circumstances, but you can change the way you react to them. You can overcome just about anything in life as long as you try hard. Your attitude does affect the things that can happen to you. For example, if you have a nice attitude towards people they will like you. If you have a bad attitude they will not like you as much.
ReplyDeleteI agree you just have to stay positive but I believe your attitude has a big effect on things that can happen to you.So you should never put your self down. You can over come anything you put your mind to.A positive mind equals a positive out come.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Samantha on how can change the perspective on an bad situation.
ReplyDeleteBecause you should always have an positive attitude.
i agree that you may not be able to change your circumstance. But you can change you perspective. You can have a good attitude and if you do have a good attitude people will want to try and help you with your situation. you can overcome almost anything if you believe just like the man born with no arms and no legs. but you won't be able to do some things unfortunantly.
ReplyDeleteI agree with not being able to change you're circumstances, how you react to them and overcoming just about anything but I disagree with your attitude having no effect on the things you do. I disagree with this because if you have a positive attitude towards things then it will be better. If you have a negative attitude toward things then the situation will be worse and you won't be able to over come it .
