Tim Jones: A Story Of A Bad Attitude

Improved Essays
Would you like to be known as that person who is always snippy and who always has a bad attitude? Not me that's for sure. A bad attitude will honestly get you know where, and fast. Sometimes having a bad attitude is okay but everyday is a different story. There could be reasons behind an attitude like anger problems, sadness, passing of someone whom that person loved, or even the little things in life. Sometimes people can really ruin their life with a bad attitude. Tim Jones was once a great football player, and even one of the best at the time.

He started to get traded for hurting players and cursing refs, but never realized that his attitude was about to flip …show more content…
One day at practice the coach pulled him aside and just said " go home you're done". Tim went back to the locker room and just cried and eventually went home. No one ever heard of him after that day. It is honestly crazy how someone who is so famous and so rich could lose everything just because of a simple attitude. Maybe it isn't that simple? People don't get hired because they don't have good attitudes, I know i wouldn't hire someone if they didn't have one. Your boss wouldn't want his company or store to be represented by people with attitudes or people who don't have any respect. Honestly I think if someone has a sour or horrible attitude, that person should seek help and get it fixed. With a good attitude, people will respect you and you can respect yourself. If you just simply want to be rude to people, you might need to go to therapy and get your issues solved. Nowadays people just walk around with attitudes like everybody owes them something. It is just how society is these days. It's honestly horrible. People shouldn't have to have bad attitudes. This world would be a better place if people didn't have attitudes. Everyone should be smiling and

    In the novel written by Wes Moore entitled “The Other Wes Moore, told stories about the fates of two different people with the same name and living area. Based on my reading, I found out that the author life is more fortunate than the other Wes Moore. This is because the author’s mother was more concern about his child education and behaviour compared to the the other Wes Moore’s mother. I perceive that the author’s mother was more concern due to the clear details written in the book about the action that the mother took when she knew her son was not doing well. However, the stories in Chapter 6 did not tell any specific steps that the other Wes Moore’s mother took when his son has been caught by the police.…

    When former president Barack Obama stated that “[w]here you start should not determine where you end up” (as qtd. in “55 Quotes” 4), he acknowledged the common ability of most to challenge their environment and decide their future for themselves. This philosophy holds true to Moore, author of The Other Wes Moore, but perhaps falters in light of the novel’s titular character, Wes. Sharing the same name, upbringing and affinity , the two’s similarities begin to disintegrate during the events of Chapter 4: Marking Territory, in which Moore uses a number of literary crafts to stress this divergence.…
