Personal Essay: Is It Worth Rewarding?

Improved Essays
We all have change in our life, but it is whether we choose to accept that change or refuse the change that will decide our happiness.

Sometimes its not that we 're not trying hard enough, it 's that we 're trying in the wrong direction.

Love is not but a fight you have with yourself, your heart, and theirs.

Being alive does not mean you 're really living.

Sometimes, striving for someone else ' s happiness gives you a sense of yours.

When you 've worked up to your full abilities, you come to a point when you run out of fuel. You start questioning what you 're doing and if, at that very moment, everything you 've already done was worth it. What is my purpose and, whatever that purpose may be, is it worth achieving?

True wisdom is admitting

Life is not worth suffering for, it 's only worth living for.

To entrust someone with your heart and not have that person entrust you with theirs makes you either heartless or a fool.

No crime greater than stealing someone 's heart and tearing it apart before returning it.

Love is not but a silly game of a fool, but for some stupid reason everyone wants to play.

I 've sometimes wondered whether Cupid was heartless.

Whether you are ready or not, life moves on and so must you.

What good is knowledge when you don 't know much more than it?

I believe those around me are smarter for having to have untied themselves from education 's web. I 'm still trying to figure out where I 'd go without it.

If I were to be happy now and unhappy later, I 'm not sure whether I 'd regret my decision.

I live life in such a routine that I 'm getting bored of it.

It 's not that I don 't want more, I 've just had enough.

Selfishness and greed is human nature so I shall not ask forgiveness for being a conceited prick.

I 'm jealous of the stupid who have come to admit it. I still believe I 'm smarter than everyone else when in reality I, too, am

    In the essay “Blue-Collar Brilliance”, the author, Mike Rose, argues that the Western Hemisphere connects intelligence with a higher education. Mike believes that blue-collar workers are not appreciated as much as they should be and people do not recognize the difficult demands and cognitive uses that they use in their jobs on a daily basis. He refuses to accept the notion, which most believe. That notion is that blue-collar workers are not as intelligent as the white-collar workers who had the chance to receive a higher education. Mike seems to feel that this way of thinking only creates cultural divides.…

    Once in the sixth grade my teacher handed back some reading test that the class did poorly on and told us that if we would spend even half as much time reading a book than we do using a computer, then our performance in the class would greatly improve. A few days later our teacher got a new projector to replace the old one that was broken and he spent a good twenty minutes trying to set it up before he gave up and asked our class if anyone knew how to set it up. One girl stepped forward and in about ten minutes she got the projector working and we were on our way with our lesson. The same adult who indirectly told our class that we weren’t smart because we didn’t read took twice as long trying to set up a projector as a sixth grader did. This is the type of…

    It is difficult for a person to pinpoint what their purpose is. I see my purpose as making a difference in someone else’s life, whether it is a complete stranger, someone in my family, or an animal even. It does not have to be the biggest gesture, but it would be rewarding to help out in whatever way I can. In Damon’s Path to Purpose, he states that, “...absorption in purposeful tasks may be strenuous, it also brings a deep sense of satisfaction, well-being, and exhilaration.” I know that it is not easy to fulfill a purpose, however, I also know that no matter how hard it gets or how long it takes, the end results will be rewarding.…
