The Importance Of Consequences In My Life

Improved Essays
Over the course of my entire life, and the events that I have gone through, one thing has become quite evident. I have learned that my actions as a human being directly correlate to the type of person that I am. For instance, when a person learns something at a young age, their mind grows on this idea and they learn how to act. As a child I could distinctly remember an instance where my actions affected the person who I am now. Before I think of doing something or expressing what I would like to say, I know that my actions have consequences. Thanks to the events that happened previously in my life, I am more suited to handle things in the future. One person's previous actions affect the way that they think forever.

That particular day was just like any other, except for the fact that it would change me for the rest of my life. It started out as a simple afternoon with the sun out and the breeze blowing calmly. I was sitting on my bed listening to music, as I usually did, when I received a phone call from my friends. They wanted to know if they could come over and hang out, and I didn have any problem with it. I knew that my mom would get somewhat annoyed that people were over, but after all I was rather bored. After hanging up the phone it occurred to me that I just bought a new video game from the store. It was so new, that I had not even gotten the chance to dowload it on my Xbox. Within moments of forcing the disc into the slot there was a knock on the door and my usual, gloomy face instantly turned to a smile. I bolted downstairs and ran to greet my peers at the door. I was excited that they were at my …show more content…
Even in a little town like Oceanport, when the mayor or Council chooses to do something, it can have a great affect on the people of the municipality. Small things that one person may do for a particular reason can have a great affect on something else which could be just as important. Every person regardless of their importance or the amount of money that they have should know that what they do really matters. The choices that a person makes from second to second have consequences which can therefore affect others. A simple lesson that occurred early on in my life can help every person live their life better. If people were to learn that their actions had importance they would think twice before doing the things that they

    People learn a great deal from their experiences as they can change their entire outlook and attitude towards life as well as their communication with others. Perception directly effects communication and explains how the same message can be interpreted differently by people. The relationships we have with people through communication enable us to have similar perceptions of the world, however no two people can see the world in exactly the same way because of differences in their fields of experience. There are experiences that we share together such as, love, the instinct to survive, the desire for health, knowledge and happiness but each individual has events in life that make them experience these things differently. Perception is affected…
