Daniel H. Pink once said, “Empathy is about standing in someone else’s shoes, feeling with his or her heart, seeing with his or her eye. Not only is empathy hard to outsource and automate but it makes the world a better place”. This quote is explaining the basics of empathy. Empathy is seeing a problem or life in general, from another person’s of view. It allows us to understand another and overall helps make the world a better place. In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird empathy is a major theme

Life As We Knew It Miranda is what I can describe as a regular, maybe even stereotypical, sixteen-year-old teenager. She goes to school, she mediates between best friends that are growing apart, she’s angry at her mother for limiting her from doing the things she wants to do. She worries about prom, boys, and studying for math tests. But of course, all that changes when the asteroid hits the moon. Miranda changes from defiant teen, sneaking out of the house to go for a swim in the pond and sulking

Horace states, "Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant," meaning that differences in a person's life, meaning misfortunes as a whole, has the ability to change a person's personality and character. This can go two separate ways though, it can make them into a better person, or a worse person. But the overall idea that Horace stated is easy to agree with. Some people will use a negative part of their life, and do their best to make it

of a difficult situation and learns from it. Adversity is a great teacher. But how one overcomes it is what counts. Though out the way people learn particular qualities about themselves and others. From this they have time to learn and grow from experiences faced. In Morton Rhue’s ‘the wave’ and ‘weekend at weetalaba’ an Australian story episode focusing on the adversity faced by Gayle we see how different people react to adversity and how they overcome and learn from it. In Morton Rhue’s novel ‘the

Overcoming Obstacles Life may seem hard at times, though if one can push through these hard times, great things can result from them. Many examples of this have been shown through the history of the world, and can also be shown in the modern world today. One person who has shown great resilience in today's society is Malala Yousafzai. She fought the Taliban in order to allow women to attend school in Pakistan. Louis Armstrong is another example of how one can overcome obstacles to become greater

Overcoming an obstacle is a prodigious achievement in anybody’s life. I overcame a very mammoth obstacle once in my life. This obstacle was beating a tennis player whom I have never beaten before. I always struggled against this particular girl, and I was never able to finish the match. However, I got through this obstacle by fighting, persevering, and focusing. The path was bumpy, the journey, rigorous, but the payoff was massive, and I know it has changed who I am today. Before I beat this girl

Overcoming obstacles through the stages of my life has been my biggest challenge. As time progressed, I’ve learned that people can go through so many challenges yet hide these secrets so naturally that the world does not notice what they are undergoing. Learning how to speak up and ask for help, was the most difficult thing to do. Three years ago I was a victim of dating violence. Going through this was life changing and threw me into a hole of emotional and physical pain. With threats and insults

Overcoming an Obstacle Obstacles are something that every person is faced with at some point in their life. When faced with an obstacle you really only have two options. You choose to let the problem you are facing take you down or you choose to overcome the obstacle and become a better person because of it. In my life, I can remember a time that I was faced with an obstacle that about broke me. When I was in my early twenties I was hit with one of the worst possible obstacles life could throw

Hardships portray and elicit abilities that, in times of prosperity, might not have been performable. Hardships include relationship, friendship, mental, and physical challenges that cause stress. In these types of situations, one would be forced to think of a situation and act upon it in order to move on and prosper. The quote “Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant.”-Horace, is one I agree with. Adversity causes one to think
