Assignment Takeaway 5

 

While reflecting on assignment five, pay it forward; I realized that it takes very little effort to be nice to people. I learned that anyone, at any time, from all walks of life can ‘pay it forward’ if they so choose. Paying it forward doesn’t have to be a monetary ‘payment’. Helpful, well intended actions are ways to pay it forward as well.

While doing assignment five, it reminded me that we as humans can all find ourselves in a position to need some assistance from another human at some point in our lives. In the same manner, we can find ourselves in an unexpected position to help someone else. This is relevant to me because it reminds me to stay humble. There is no, one person, above all other people. This is a strong lesson that I can pass on to younger people.

Assignment Takeaway 4

 

I learned from assignment four that there is a kind of a measurable scale on how people love. What I learned is that everyone approaches love in a different way. There are many motivations for finding love. There are that many more reasons for staying in love. In the end, most people’s reason for keeping love in their lives (regardless of which route they took to get it) is companionship.

I’ve learned that the actual process in which people approach love may sometimes be complicated, but the feeling that it usually gives them is not. Humans are naturally attracted to companionship. To fulfill that natural need, there are many types of relationships; family, friends, acquaintances, children, pets, husbands, wives and many more. The deepest of those relationships have a core of love.

Assignment Takeaway 3

 

I learned from assignment three, that what may be hidden deep in the subconscious, will often be exposed when someone gets emotional and doesn’t filter what they say or how they act before they do it. I learned that it is hard to hide one’s true feelings and thoughts when adrenalin, anger, sadness or worry mix together.

From this assignment, I have learned to watch my own personal emotions, words and actions more closely during times of emotional highs and lows. While I know that I don’t have any secret hatred or racism in my heart, I may have opinions may hurt other’s feelings if I don’t express them in a certain way. While it is not wrong to have an opinion, the old saying of how you say something, versus what you say, is a very good rule to go by when speaking to someone, especially during emotional highs and lows. I’ve also learned that trying to hurt someone only because they have hurt you, is not the mature way to handle disgruntled situations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Assignment Takeaway 2

 

What I took away from assignment two are somethings that I already knew about myself. What people may think they know about me or their first impressions before getting to know me, are usually completely different from the person that I truly am. I also took from this, that my family is the most important thing to me. That was never a question.

After evaluating myself in this matter, I can see how mistakes can be made with bias and first impressions. I also think that everyone should also strive to be true to themselves and what is important to them. It takes a lot of thought to try to step outside of yourself and evaluate who you are. One should always make sure they like what they see from the inside and outside point of view.
