What Is What You Learned Important?

The mistakes of my past have helped to develop my future and the person that I am now. Throughout this whole process, I guess you can say I learned that it doesn't matter how bad you messed up or who you hurt in the process, it’s all about how you own up to your mistakes and what you learn from them. While I was in my early stages of school life I always wanted everyone to approve of me and think I was the nicest person they ever met, so I always tried to blend in. I didn't realize till later that being too nice was actually more of a disadvantage than beneficial, if you're too nice people will waste no time taking advantage of it the moment you give them the chance. Yes, I know that’s something that everyone should learn before entering middle school, but I didn't realize how the real world actually looked/treated people like me till I experienced it firsthand. While in elementary school, I only spoke when I was spoken to and, at first, I didn't think much about it, but later I felt out of place.

This is relevant to economics in a few ways. First is the fact that in the beginning of the video it discussed the 2008 recession, where the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted over 700 points. This caused many

Every action a person takes is the result of having thought about what it is they think they should do and then doing it. Life is riddled with problems that require solving. Decisions are complex matters that require careful judgment and problem analysis especially when one is in a role where others look up to them and are affected by their decisions.

This is actually the second time in my life that I have watched this video - I first watched it two or three years ago -, and it was even more intriguing than the previous occasion. When I originally watched the video, I understood what he was saying at a conceptual level but, as I’m realizing now, not at a contextual level because, though I haven’t experienced much in my 16 years, I’ve grown a lot since my middle school days. When I watched it then, I understood how everyone is influenced by external factors and that no decision is entirely of your own making, but that’s where my thinking stopped. Watching it now, I continue by applying that THEORY to my own experiences, which has aided me in understanding it at a greater level. It’s like

Every day of our lives, we make choices. Some of these choices are very difficult, while others might be so easy that they are subconscious. Each decision we make comes with a downfall. That is the next best option we could have chosen or what we call the opportunity cost of making the decision that we did!

As people always say, “Hindsight is 20/20”, but if we would look forward in time and plan instead of making gut decisions, making better decisions and choices would definitely be easier to do. Robert Frost said it best in his poem, “The Road Not Taken”, when he said, “Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim” (Frost). This shows that when Frost got to a fork in the road, he sat down and evaluated both options before making a selection. He looked at the path on the left and then the path on the right so he would know exactly which choice to make and how that choice would work for him. This applies to everybody. When there is a big choice to be made, we need to evaluate every option and then look into the future to see how the options will benefit us later. If at the time a choice seems perfect, but there is no future benefit, why make that choice? If everybody has a common goal to be the best person that they can be and to be as successful as they can in life, the choice that is made needs to be a thirty day or thirty year decision, not a thirty second decision.

In one to two sentences, what is the single most important thing you learned from this week's reading?

Lessons Learned Late From the day life starts through an entire lifetime, learning plays a key role in society. It is through these lessons, people are able to develop into wise people. Even when mistakes occur, people continue to grow. On the other hand, not learning a crucial life lesson has different consequences-usually even more negative and severe than simply making an error.

I learned how to make the right decisions with confidence,but not unsure or demanding answers. With the decisions I make I know how to say no to tobacco, cigarettes,

The video was very inspiring to me. It talked about everyday situations and how we should take out the negativity in relationships. I see how the choice theory relates to the subject of healthy and deadly habits. Choice theory is a book that is taught by William Glasser; the theory teaches that we behave, choose our own behaviors, and that we are driven by our genes to satisfy five basic needs: survival, love, and belonging, power, freedom and fun. We make the choices in our life whether it is good or bad. In my opinion, the video was educational and that it really grabbed my attention. When William Glasser compared the theory to animals, he made it seem so real and that humans and animals are similar and do the exact same to each other. An

Almost everyone has been stuck in a situation where they were having trouble determining what they should do. In those situations, the actions that are available to them to choose from are either classified by our society as right or wrong. It is obvious to most people what the right option in a situation is as well as why they should choose it, but why do part of those people still choose the wrong option if they are fully aware what they chose is awry.

Obviously the course English 107 did not teach me how to write, I already knew how to write. But I did learn a few important concepts that will help me for future essays. Before taking the course I did not know how to come to terms with any authors while using their concepts, but reading the Harris book really taught me to understand the way to come to terms with them. My essays have really improved over these 10 weeks. As a writer, I really struggled with making my essays be understood. Know I write my essays clearly and readers can come to terms with my essays. I understand that I still need work, but at the end of the day, but I learned so many things that will benefit me in the future. For example, I learned to extend my thesis by identifying the argument and purpose to take it across to the audience. One of my previous papers was a rhetorical paper and my first thesis was completely trashed, “It is the best because the organization’s use of ethos, pathos, and logos create an effective call to action for viewers to make more responsible choices”, I later then extended it to, “It is the best because the organization’s use of ethos, pathos, and logos create an effective call to action for viewers to make more responsible choices. The video effectively triggers the audience’s sense of understanding that drunk driving affects everyone from the victim to their family and friends”. A good thesis should not be a sentence long, it should be longer with valuable information.

I learned how to make my own decision by learning how to stay away from bad people by doing fun activities, reviewing, watching a video about kids making decisions, and working in our books by writing the situation.

First, I have experience with many areas of marketing, including social media, product marketing, and customer relationship management.

While writing I began to understand why it is important to learn the mistakes of the past so that they do not occur in the future.
