...ENG101/29 Professor R Gaines ENG101/29 March 10,2013 The most important person in my life. . From the time we are born we are being influenced by those around us, be it a relative, friend, or teacher. We are influenced by their character, traits and form opinions that will last a lifetime. Although influential people have come and gone in my life, my boyfriend, Daniel, has remained the most important and influential person for the past fifteen years. It was in November 2000 when I first met Daniel at the “Stratford Athletic Club.” I attended the club almost every day. One evening a tall gentleman with an athletic body approached me and with a soft-spoken voice proceeded to ask,” How is your workout going?” I turned towards him, looked at his amicable face, and with a barely detectable smile said, “Fine, thank you.” This was the beginning of a most satisfying, educational and enduring relationship. Right after I met him I noticed his amazing organization skills. He is able to stay focused no matter how distracting the situation might be. He simply minimizes the distraction. For example, if he is focusing his attention on writing an important paper, he will ignore the phone when it’s ringing, and will not answer the doorbell. I always had a problem with focusing. Since I started to spend time with Daniel I learn to remained focused on my goals and not to be affected by any adverse elements. Years ago while driving in the center lane of...

...Values those are most important to me. Values are something that is important in life. Values can’t be exchanged in any way or form. Everyone has something that they value and of course that includes me as well. A value is something that a specific person or groups respects and affectively regards it as something important in their life. An example would be my values, I, personally, have many values. Some of my most important values consist of my family, my ethnicity and my memories. Something that I value the most would be my family. Family means a lot for me because no matter what happens, my family would always be there for me. Life would be really different if I didn’t have the family that I have now. In my family, I am taught that no matter what difficulties I have to face, my family would always be there and support me. They taught me many things about life that I would take with me for the rest of my life. No matter how many good friends you have, they will never be there for you forever, but family will always be there for you. Not everyone has a perfect family; therefore, I must appreciate what I have now because not everyone is as lucky as me to have a family that cares for each other through out all the different circumstances. Another very important value of mine would be my ethnicity. Ethnicity is very important for it describes me. Due to the fact that I am born Asian American, I was brought up to what I am today.

...Running head: DIAMOND PERSONALITY Diamond Personality 11/09/11 Belinda There are a few principles for positive interpersonal communication that I see as very important. There is a sense of the richness of communication on a face to face level, is much more effective and personal. You experience the conversation on a higher level. You are physically seeing the facial expressions, body language, and movements of the person in which you are sharing this conversation with. In my culture, we kiss and hug each other at each visit. This means a lot in my culture, it makes your conversation much more meaningful. In relationships you allow yourself to advance to a much more intimate and personal level when you spend time together, in person. I believe that at work we create a option to work closer as a team by meeting in person, rather than through email or video conferencing. When we talk about interpersonal communication, there is a certain process that is followed. According to (Reference.com) “The basic process of communication begins when a fact is observed or an idea formulated by one person. That person (the sender) decides to translate the observation into a message, and then transmits the message through some communication medium to another person (the receiver). The receiver then must interpret the message and provide feedback to the sender indicating that the message has been understood and appropriate action taken.” So, in more simple terms, the sender...

...CJA/474 October 22, 2013 Marcus Gamble Values Reflection My core values are what I have determined of what I believe in. Some people never take the time to communicate what their values are. Once a person determines what, he or she believes in and what is important to him or her, his or her values are set in their lives. There are several ways that an individual can determine his or her core values. Here are some questions that some people ask themselves to determine their core values; What is important to me? What do I believe in? What are things I believe in that you would want to pass on to your children? What are the thing that I believe in that governs how I live my life? Within this paper I will make the attempt to identify my core values, as I describe how people acquire and change values. I will explain what values do for and to us. Finally in the conclusion, I will explain the nature and importance of human values in the workplace. The order of an individual’s values defines how he or she will recognize and how he or she will act; as a result that regulate your instant purpose. Everyone’s values changes over time, therefore his or her destiny changes over time. The summary of an individual’s sequence of callings controls his or her life voyage. The final or comparative static core value directs the endless journey the most. The more important a value is to you, the higher you will make it important to your lifestyle. An individual would be more discipline about...

...Principle 1 RESPECT FOR THE DIGNITY OF PERSONS AND PEOPLES Our dignity begins with what we are; something we do not give ourselves but receive from whatever it is that causes us to be. No one gives himself what he already is in his coming to be. What we are given is completed, on our part, by what we choose to do with what we already are. I know every person have different customs and belief of culture but everyone need respect the dignity of peoples because the respect of people is very important in our Society Respect plays a role in our everyday lives. When we go to school, there's respect. When we go to a restaurant, there's respect. When you go to your family reunion, there is respect. You may not notice it, but that's only because they are being respectful to you .If you're not respectful then you will be disrespected because your being mean. So you should always be respectful to others so they will treat you the way you want to be treated. If you are respectful to others then you can get good jobs because they’ll like you It is God who states that every man and woman is made in His image, without limitations regarding race, gender, intelligence or faith. God grants the greatest status of dignity to human beings, having been made in the likeness of God. Every human being, therefore, has the right to be respected because of his or her God-given human dignity. The concept of human rights can be traced back to the story of Creation, when God created people with human...

...YICUN LI ENL211 Feb.6th What does my grandma say “YICUN, come over here, stop playing your game, it's time for eating.” My grandma was yelling. Under this situation, if I don't go to eat, she definitely would walk to me with a Chinese shovel and drag me to the dining table. This is my grandma, a normal housewife. She had taken care of me for 13 years since when I was born until she passed away when I was 13 years old. In our life, there should be a person who plays a most important role from your family, giving you love and building up your personality. For me, my grandma is that person. Without her, I cannot be who I am now. In China, a lot of family are really traditional, most of the kids would be raised by their grandparents, and my family is one of them. Because of the arduous business work for my parents, they didn't have time to take care of me, so that I grew up in my grandma's house. When I was young, everything I learned was from my grandma and her instructions and inspiration gave me an important benefit in the future of my life. Then, what does my grandma say? She told me to be honest. There is an interesting story that happened when I was 6. I lived in a big house with a huge garden. My grandma planted a persimmon tree in the backyard, so the happiest time for me every year when I eat persimmons. The story happened surrounded with this tree. In the summer of 2001, I went to the backyard for soccer and accidentally found out that there was a seldom ripen...

Refer to Ch. 1 in the text for explanations of these dimensions. Physical health: Physical activity, being in the army reserves doing physical activity is basically my own task no one is here forcing me to do it, so I have a membership at Anytime Fitness and I try to go to work out every day but sometimes things seem more important and I don’t work out on those days but I do believe that working out and staying in shape is a big part of overall health.

But one thing that’s lacking is someone to actually have intellectual conversations with and do research about stuff that interest us, but I am an introvert I like having fun but I do need my time to recharge my batteries so to speak, basically time to myself alone to recharge.

...Institution Date My life journey They say that life is a journey and that we are all headed somewhere. I wish I knew where my starting point was. It is however said that we begin to live when we begin to feel and with this, I can say my point of departure is where I started be conscious of my personality. When I started feeling and seeing things in a different perspective. It commenced on the day when nothing that made sense started making sense. I am not certain where my destination is but one day I would wish to wake up when I am old and fragile and say to myself, “I did not miss a thing”. My life journey is a crowded one. I am a people’s person and, therefore, tend to pick people along the way. I interact with people of all ages and races and when I discover a common trait in them that is in me, I take them along. The biggest players in my life journey are however my family. They say that the waters are sweet, but blood is still thicker. I value my family a lot. I share my life with my friends but when it comes to being personal and sentimental, I turn to my family. My family has played an important role in appreciating me for who I am. With friends, I fake my feelings at times for the sake of peace but with my family, there is nothing that I get to hide. One of the greatest things in my life is the fact that along the way I have grown. Life has reshaped me into an strong person who can stand for himself or herself. Most of the challenges that life has brought me taught...

...happy. The person I am today is influenced on different values and the different experiences that I have encountered while growing up to be a good role model, an elder sister and a good friend. Growing up as a child in my family was tough being the fact that I am the only girl with three younger brothers that look up to me so the influence from childhood was really tough and one of the greatest impact in who I am today. My relationships with my parent as a childhood was pretty normal, I look up to my dad while I was growing up because his hardworking and his the breadwinner of the family and from things he has told me while I was growing up was that he had to support his family at an early stage because he lost his father and he had to help out and he also had to drop out of school so his siblings good have a good education, that’s a huge sacrifice he made at an early stage and that makes me proud of him and that motivates me to want to be a better person and still molds me to who I am I today and who I would want to be in the future. My mum on the other hand taught me to be forgiven, to always look for the best in people and never think of people’s past but the bright side, and she also taught me to give people second chances because regardless of where they might have gone wrong they still deserved a second chance because we are human’s and we all make mistakes. Family values are everything to me, I believe it’s good to honor those values because family is very important to me...

...centre company. Both of them were well dressed up and did everything they could to give a best presentation in the interview board in front of the officials. Of the two friends one had a very good CGPA and the other was ranked average. The one with good CGPA also had little previous experience in the related kind of jobs but the other friend was a novice. So, taking the best preparation for the interview both the friends faced the interview board. Both of them did well in the interview. But when the results were out, the novice friend with an average CGPA got the job but the other friend did not did not get the job. Here I want to raise my point “looks” does it really matter in professional life? Now from the above story line if any one comes to the conclusion that good looks get more priority than academic qualifications in professional life, he or she is just coming to the conclusion in a superficial manner. On the other hand you can’t also assume that success only depends on academic qualification because it is a very controversial topic and many believe that success never depends upon only good grades. There point of view is that if success and opportunities were measured by grades then the corporate world would not ask for bio-data in resumes, where other qualifications are also mentioned. Nor would they interview the prospects in order to find out what they are like as people, rather they would give a blind appointment to the people with the best paper qualifications....

...My Personal Philosophy Essay People develop and shape their personal philosophy during the whole life. Some circumstances may radically change our views, depending on our age, social status and personal qualities. As for me, at this stage of my life I can’t say it for sure that my personal philosophy is complete and well-shaped. In my research paper I want to express my views on several sides of human life. I’d like to attract attention to such concepts as sense of life and happiness, good and evil, morality and faith in God, love and death, eternal life values, karma and religion. I’ll answer the questions what love and happiness mean for me personally. I understand that the concept of life philosophy is really versatile and it’s hard to express personal views on so many aspects. That’s why my research deals with only those things which are important for me at this stage of my life. If you look at life from different sides for some period of time, and then gather all your thoughts into one picture – that would be your life philosophy. Humans strive to find out and clearly define the sense of their living, and feel unhappy and desperate without it. Each person has his own sense of life and discovers it for himself only. There are people who live their lives without asking what they are living for. Personally I have always been concerned with this question and I think it is important to have at least some slightest peace of sense in life. Sometimes I feel myself broken and empty...
