Stetson Lynch's Effect On The Strong Side Of The Field

Often times, many forget to be kind to one another. When we are performing out our daily activities we forget to think about other people. Individuals can be naturally selfish or self- centered. There are multiple obstacles working against our being kind to one another. Our own success being one of them. We must remember to put ourselves in the shoes of the other person, in order to understand the issues in front of us. It is not easy to become detached ourselves from how we usually are nor how we are born, but it is imperative that we try to ensure a brighter future.

In our book groups we discussed two essays “The Connection Between Strangers” by Miles Goodwin and the essay “The People Who Love You When No One Else Would” by Cecile Gilmer. In my group we said that “no matter how big or small your act of kindness is, it could change someones life” was demonstrated in both essays. In the first essay, “The Connection Between Strangers”, shows this because this little girl walked up to this solider and congratulated him. Little did she know, that the small action had changed the soldier’s life, as he said in the essay, “That girl undoubtedly has no memory of what happened years ago… It doesn't matter why she gave me the magazine. The important thing is she did” (Goodwin 83).

Humans always surprise each other. The amount of good we can commit in just one simple act can be astonishing. Whether it is donating money to charity, helping out an old friend, or just even offering someone a smile or kind word when having a bad day, can lead to a great impact on their life. “Just as one drop of water creates countless of ripples, so does one gesture of kindness or love change countless lives (Randi G Fine)”. These noble, grand gestures; or le beau geste; are unselfish acts that people commit with the intention of creating a better life for someone else. These acts can be committed due to love, compassion, or sacrifice. However, in the end, all these noble gestures boil down to creating a better world out there for others.

Each and every individual faces obstacles and limitations unique to their own circumstances, and the way that those obstacles are met and overcome ultimately determine the fulfillment and happiness that person is able to acquire. Perhaps one of the most influential but commonly looked over influences on one’s development is the attitude of others, in addition to one’s own attitude. While a kind, strong, responsible, driven attitude can empower one to lead a fulfilling life, the positivity of others is equally as effective. Whether it be despite perseverance and optimism of the individual or in junction with the two, the attitudes of others’ have the ability to influence one’s life in significant ways. The

I play football here at ULM and we have been in our fall camp for the last 23 days. It is a mental, physical, and emotional strain and tensions are running high. One day early on in camp we were out in the blistering heat practicing. We were almost finished when we called a screen pass and I was going to be the main blocker for the play and if I messed up it wouldn't work. Then as soon as the ball was snapped I stepped with the wrong foot first. This slowed me down and the defender was able to clobber our receiver behind the line of scrimmage. My position coach, Coach Clark, immediately ran over yelling, "What are you doing? Where is the direction you can't lose your man on that play?" I knew what I had done wrong, "I can't let him get up the

Another example is this past weekend. I had a baseball game. It was our first, and we had not had a lot of practices so our pitchers were not good. The

As Seattle’s star running back, Marshawn Lynch had his fair share of media time. Also followed through his early years of football, Lynch had a love-hate relationship with the media. He hated the time he had to spend with them; they loved every second of coverage they could share with the public. The interview that was observed was Lynch’s Super Bowl XLIX where Lynch gave one of the most memorable interactions that fans had ever witnessed. Prior to this encounter, Lynch had been fined thousands of dollars for failing to show up for a media day. As Lynch arrived for the Super Bowl interview, he instantly pulled out his phone and started a timer. He warned the media that he had to be there for only four minutes and fifty-one seconds and that

But then here you are sidelined without any real ability to help your teammates win on the field. That’s when you’re forced to come face to face with what’s happened. Seasons are fleeting. Games become more precious.

A life coach , and counselor , Laura trice, in her Ted Talk, “Remember to Say Thank You” Advocates that individuals should “Praise each other” in order to create more self confidence and create less neglection. Trice uses the combination such as the use of theoretical questions, anaphora, personal stories, in order to help convey her message with the use of a tranquil and very optimistic tone to help inspire others to learn to praise one another.

* One thing is always sure when you 're a nice person; people will tend to reciprocate in your time of need because as individuals, we 're bound to face challenges, disappointments and looses at some point in our lives. When you 've been nice to others during their struggles, it 's more likely they will return the favor during your hard times. That is just human nature, most of us feel really motivated to help those that have helped us, i am a very sure bet in this regard. It’s an aspect of me that i strive to do more often because i feel that individual has slightly changed my world with his acts of kindness. This is significantly valuable and it makes us feel important which is something we all want as individuals.

I agree with the idea that when we are grateful to someone it’s easier to adopt their perspective (pg. 119). I feel that when someone is nice to us it makes us more comfortable. By being more comfortable we are more likely to open our minds to the other person’s perspective. It’s harder to reject someone’s perspective when they are nice to you.

This simple message is very powerful in the way that it can teach people that one simple act of kindness has the ability to make a difference in someone else’s life.

With the role models I have, my parents, I was taught a great number of things. One of them was how to be initially kind. In reflection of my life with them, their embodiment of kindness has guided me through my adolescent life and well into my adult life. Everything that I am, I have learned through watching my parents interact through the society around them. In the following section, I will discuss how patience can be considered an act of kindness, as well as omitting the facts to save a loved one’s sense of self and reputation and how one woman sacrificed her personal space to make sure those she cared about around her were comfortable. Furthermore, the kindness shown to me through my parent’s greetings and goodbyes and a quote from my

A common saying is “One kind word can change someone’s entire day” and this saying is incredibly true. Mother Teresa of Calcutta also spread teachings similar to this one. I agree with her wholeheartedly, I try and compliment people as much as possible, and one time I got a reaction I was not expecting. I was at school when I gave a passer-by in the hallway a compliment on her shoes (bright fluorescent pink and black spotted Nikes). Later that day, she (Ella) had private messaged me over twitter expressing her gratitude for my kindness.

Being kind is another advantageous tip on how to live a happy and healthy life. Committing ourselves to be sympathetic to others along with to ourselves brings a new pinnacle of joy and gusto to us.
