Glass Ball An idealist is a person who is guided more by ideals than by practical consideration; In other word, an idealist realizes that he or she can create there own world. Perception, ideals, and beliefs are what make people “failures” or “successful”; coincidentally, the definition of success and failure is also a perception. Diving deeper into this mysterious theory or fact, beliefs people have ultimately control what actions they take on a daily basis. An example of this, using a common fear with an estimation of 75% of people has, would be the glossophobia, also known as the fear of public speaking. If a person believed that public speaking is frightening and could ruin their reputation, then most likely he or she will avoid public speaking; conversely, if that same person believed that public speaking is fun and easy, they may be more inclined to giving a public speech without hesitation.

To briefly touch on one, the Law of Attraction, it basically comes down to positive thoughts attract positive life experiences, while negative thoughts attract negative life experiences. Multiple famous and successful people believe in the idea of the Law of Attraction, some including Will Smith, Oprah Winfrey, Jim Carrey, and Denzel Washington. The reason I connect to idealism and the Law of Attraction is primarily because of its limitless power and opportunity to be and become the best version of you without the world’s bias of what you should be like. (The Seven Universal

This foundation, whether healthy or unhealthy, will form the way in which a person relates as an adult. Like Wilson (2001) and Hawkins (2010) who assert that external factors, such as other people, impact an individual’s emotions and behavior and ultimately form the personality structure, I also believe this personality theory.

The children’s story “The Little Engine That Could” portrays a little engine who wishes to carry a larger train over a hill. Throughout the story he tells himself “I think I can…I think I can”. The outcome is that he manages to successfully transport the larger train over the hill. The moral of this story is that if a person thinks positive then he or she will produce great results. In other words if you think you can accomplish a task then chances are you probably will. The secret is a positive thought process. If a man changes the way that he thinks he changes his life.

Public speaking is often described as the most common fear in the world. It is also something that many people are required to do. It may be to give a toast at a wedding, to present a seminar at work, to make an argument to a local council, to receive an award or to be interviewed by a board of directors for a job. Public speaking is something few people can avoid and yet it continues to be a major fear. To understand this fear and how it can be managed and prevented, the issue will now be looked at in more detail. This will begin with a definition of public speaking anxiety and a discussion of the
Theorists have invested years of research into learning the dynamics of one’s personality. Humanistic and Existential Personality Theories offered perspectives that have proved to be valuable to those researching and exploring how one’s personality develops and expands throughout life. From Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to Carl Rogers’s development of the formative tendency and the actualizing tendency, the range of perspectives is diverse. In this paper, we will analyze how humanistic and existential theories affect individual personalities and give explanation to how these
They comprise of no more than fifteen to twenty percent of the population. Idealists are enthusiastic, yearn for romance, and dream of attaining wisdom. They are passionately concerned with personal growth and development. The quest for self-knowledge and self-improvement drives their imagination. Their quest makes them want to help others make that journey. Leading them to jobs working with people. Idealists believe that friendly cooperation is the best way. They tend to become upset when faced with conflict and confrontation. They dream of creating harmonious personal relationships. Idealists are incurable romantics, who prefer what might be instead of what is. Idealists hold themselves to a strict standard of personal integrity and suffer greatly when they are
The glass ball and the iron ball are two different objects. This is because a glass ball is transparent when you shine light passed it, and the iron ball is opaque and reflective when you shine light passed it. Also because an iron ball is attracted to magnets, however, the glass ball is not attracted to magnets. Lastly because an iron ball is a conductor to electrical conductivity, the glass ball however is an insulator to electrical conductivity. This proves that a iron ball and a glass ball are two different objects because in a glass ball light shines past it but in the iron ball there is either no light or the light reflects off of the ball. Also because opaque and transparent are the complete opposite, because, no light shines past through
Everyone often has different perceptions of the world that significantly vary from others. As a result, our own perceptions are often internally and externally in severe conflict with ourselves or others. Eventually, an individual is often forced to reconcile their internal conflicting perceptions and required to embrace the ideologies of others. In the short story “The Blue Bouquet”, Octavio Paz suggests that when individuals have varying perceptions of the world, they are often unable to understand or embrace these different ideologies; as a result, conflicts internally and externally will naturally arise unconsciously. Individuals are often experiencing internal conflicts with themselves when their ideal perception of the world is different
Only a select few people take pleasure in giving presentations or public speaking. I am not one of those people. Public speaking has always been a problem for me. G.A.D. or general anxiety disorder, has been a substantial factor in my life and being graded or judged on how well you speak in front of people, doesn’t exactly help. Whether it is five people or over a thousand, when pressure is put on you-you have to react. For example, when your grade for the quarter depends on how well you give a presentation, or when you have a competition or a big game. Consequently, you could become exceedingly anxious, and begin to doubt yourself, and that can lead to horrible situations.
Idealism is the group of philosophies which assert that reality, or reality as we can know it, is fundamentally mental, mentally constructed, or otherwise immaterial. Idealism emphasizes how human ideas especially beliefs and values shape society. Essentially, it is any philosophy which argues that the only thing actually knowable is consciousness, whereas we never can be sure that matter or anything in the outside world really exists. Thus, the only real things are mental entities, not physical things. Idealism could include many religious viewpoints, although an Idealistic viewpoint need not necessarily include God, supernatural beings, or an existence after death. "idealism" is also used to describe a person's high, sometimes with the
If speaking in front of a massive crowd terrifies you, you are not alone. Glossophobia or in layman's term, fear of public speaking is strikingly prevalent. In fact, 75% of the world's population has some degree of anxiety when it comes to speaking in public. Even prominent personalities such as Barbara Streisand and Prince Harry of Wales admitted upon suffering this phobia. McClafferty (2015) cited that the term "glossophobia" originated from the Greek word "glōssa" which translate to tongue, and "phobos" meaning fear or dread. The fear of public speaking according to Carelse, "is a very specific form of stage fright or speech anxiety". It is classified by psychologists simply as a social anxiety disorder, although glossophobics (people who
Idealism is the theory that ideas and thoughts make up the actual fundamental reality of the world. In an overview, it is any philosophy that argues that the only things that are knowable lies in consciousness. This also states that we can never truly tell if anything in the outside world really exists. Things that are real are only mental, nothing physical if proven to be real. The stages of Idealism’s development have been in a constant change since the times of Plato up to Berkeley.
One of the most used materials in human history is glass or more specifically silicate glass. Although some types of glasses are called crystal glass, glass is actually an amorphous solid and does not have a crystal structure. It is used in all walks of life ranging from homes to automobiles to laboratories. Historically, the one of the first types of glass that was used by humans to make tools and weapons was the volcanic glass known as obsidian. As for manmade glass, the earliest accounts date back to 5000 BC in the middle east. Primitive methods of glass making were used until about 100BC, when glassblowing was believed to be discovered. This discovery made glass products popular in the Roman Empire since the development of glassblowing allowed glass production to be more efficient and thus less expensive. As the centuries went on more techniques were developed which eventually lead to glass products being widespread. This paper will discuss some of the methods of glass production throughout history, the types of silicate glass, and the different ways that glass can be colored.
