Where Theres A Will There's A Way Summary

Decent Essays
The article “Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way” (Harrington,2012), mentions the fact that people have been struggling for years to become more resilient to the areas in which they work, live, and play. They have been in these places for so long they just become used to them. “We need others to survive, and our methods or interacting will affect the degree to which we obtain our needs.” (Harrington, 2012)
The statement clearly emphasizes this; we need to become more approachable to others, and less selfish of ourselves. By doing so, we see the “real” people around us, and we, as a whole, learn to be more social.

    The world is a vast place, filled with numerous individuals, all characterized by unique qualities. John Stuart Mill, a 19th century writer, philosopher, and businessman who placed great importance on those who find and offer new ideas, theorized that the two primary qualities in life were originality and genius. An original person is one who is independent of all others and is unique in all that they do, and someone who displays genius is unusually intelligent and creative. In “Genius and Originality”, Mill suggests that these qualities are indispensable in society since they prevent life and knowledge from becoming static, and without them, society cannot progress. He proposes that conformity is preventing genius and originality from flourishing, while freedom allows them to thrive.…

Grappling with the ever-familiar urge to explore lives unfamiliar—via social media—on her phone, she forces herself to thumb through the contents.

    The Glass Castle: The Longest Simile to Resilience Human resilience is defined in Elizabeth Edwards ’s quote, “Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it 's less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you 've lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that 's good.” It has exemplified itself repeatedly throughout our existence on Earth, from the harsher, simpler days of survival, or how nations have fallen to dust after war or plagues or poverty and yet glued themselves back together in blatant refusal of defeat, or the struggle of the modern-day individual fighting through financial disasters or emotional loss.…

    A community environment serves an important function in shaping our personal development and belief system. The community an individual grows up in says a lot about that individual as a person. With strengths, comes weaknesses and every community differs in many ways. The community I grew up in may differ from the community others lived in, and that’s what makes us all unique and different from one another. No matter if you live on Grand View Drive or you live on the south side of Chicago each community has its different problems, and just because someone may live in a different neighborhood than you doesn’t mean you are complete polar opposites it just means you experience obstacles differently in your daily routine and that is completely…
