How much are people in charge of what happens to them? Read the following statements:
- You may not be able to change your circumstances, but you can change how you react to them.
- Your attitude has no effect on the things that can happen to you.
- People can overcome just about anything if they try hard enough.
In order to receive full credit you must write at least 5 complete and coherent sentences. You must also respond to a classmate's post in a thoughtful manner.
I agree with this statement. If you try hard enough, you can overcome things and change them with your reaction. If you have the guts to try, most likely you will be able to beat whatever it is you have to do. This is because when you are encouraged and inspired, you actually try and do stuff. Also when you change your reaction to something, it will change because that might not be the thing it/someone expected.
ReplyDeleteI agree with if u try hard enough , you can overcome things and change them with your reaction... It's going to be hella hard, but it's not impossible.
DeleteYou might be in a situation that you can't get out of but you can defiantly change the way your react to it, Your the one that chooses how you react to the situation.
ReplyDeleteYour attitude does that a effect on people and the situation, you could ether respond horribly or in a good way, Your attitude and emotions can make a situation better or worse. I agree with all these statements because I've been in situations where i responded horrible and it just made things worse, and i responded good and it lightened the situation. You can over come anything if you just think about it, breathe and make the right choices with how you react and put your emotions into it.
I agree that your attitude and emotions can make something either better or worse.
Deletei agree when you respond good, it is most likely that you will get a good reaction; in contrast when responding bad you get a bad reaction.
DeleteI agree, how you respond with your attitude give a great impact.
DeleteI agree, your attitude does effect the people and the situation
DeleteHow your tone of voice and the emotion behind it can totally have an affect on a situation, so yes. I do agree
Deleteu are completely right it all ends how you enter the situation with a certain attitude
DeleteI agree that can’t change your circumstances but you can change your reactions. Say you had a cat who ran out of the house at night you can change your reaction to the cat running away but you can never stop him from doing so. I think my attitude has a lot to do with what happens to you, if you have a angry issue and you take out on someone that will have an effect on you soon enough. I believe that you can overcome or do anything if you put your mind to it. You can do anything you want as long as you give it your all and put your mind to it.
ReplyDeleteI agree that your emotion or attitude depends on what is happening at that point in time.
DeleteWhat if your mind can't take it no more and you give up?
DeleteYou can't always keep calm because the feeling hurts so much that you have reacting and it can't be in a calm way. It's like saying your whole family died are your really going to be calm and do nothing? You do control what you do but i don't think you can always be calm. I agree with them but if human can over come almost everything why do people kill themselves? Think about that.
ReplyDeleteYou may not be able to change your circumstances, but you can change how you react to them. It all depends on your attitude also. Like if you’re having a bad day at work. Everybody would handle it differently. Some people with no patience and a bad attitude would probably curse out their boss and quit. The people with enough patience and a good attitude would have gone to a spa to just relax. So again it all depends on your attitude.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the sentences above, but I do not with one of them. I believe that you can control you attitude and that you can over come your situations with your attitude. I do not agree with the sentence where it says that a person's attitude does not affect a situation, I believe that it affects every aspect of the situation. The attitude that you choose to show can affect the people around you, and they may start to make opinions about you resulting with them treating you differently. I believe that people can control what kind of attitude they have, whether it is good or bad, the person makes that decision, and in turn results in people thinking about you differently. Everything you do is based off of what attitude you show not only to other people, but to yourself as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree that attitude towards yourself is just as important as attitude towards other people.
DeleteYou cannot change the bad things that happen to you but you can control the way you handle them. Your attitude towards things has a big effect on what happens to you. If you go through life with a negative attitude, positive things aren't going to come your way. I believe that people can overcome anything if they try hard enough. Even when times are tough and something bad happens, you can still learn from your mistakes and keep trying.
ReplyDeleteI agree. You can definitely control the way you handle the bad things that happen to you.
DeleteThe first statement is very true. The second in my opinion is incorrect because having a bad attitude toward a task can affect how quickly its completed. If you're applying for a job, the people hiring will look at your attitude. A bad attitude may result in you not being hired. The final statement is somewhat true. Sometimes, a person may not be able to overcome something unless they have help. The loss of a loved one can be extremely tough on someone, and unless there is a friend or other family memeber to help them get over it, that person may never overcome the grief.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the statements except for the one that says, "Your attitude has no effect on the things that can happen to you". I don't agree with that one, because your attitude effects everything that can happen to you. Attitude how you represent yourself. If you have a bad attitude then people aren't going to like you or work with you. People are going to talk behind your back about how much they don't like you. It doesn't bother some people, but some people care a lot about what people think of them. You just have to try to have a good attitude with everyone. Anyone can over come almost anything if they set their mind to it. At times you have circumstances you can't change, but you just have to go with it. Go with the flow. Just have a good attitude about it.
ReplyDeleteAttitude is how*

ReplyDeleteNot everyone can change what type of situation or circumstance they are in, but they can change how they react to it. It is like the saying 'Think before you speak'. Many people don't realize what they say or how they say something can hurt someones feelings. The way a persons attitude cannot only change someones feelings, but it can also effect on how others think of you. For example, lets say you were accused of doing something you didn't do, if you yell and scream that you didn't do it. They are going to think you actually did it. If you act calm and mature in the situation, they may believe you.
ReplyDeleteI agree and I like how you gave an example to support it
DeleteI agree with you 100%. You attitude definitely defines you. I like how you put that.
DeleteI agree because it all depends on how you react to the situation that you are in. It can be a positive or negative away. I also agree with people can overcome just about anything if they try hard enough because if you put your mind and heart to it, you can overcome anything. If you're situation is bad you have to find something positive to think about and try to work out of it.The way you react to changes the circumstances
ReplyDeleteI agree you can change your circumstances, and i also don't think you can change your attitude either. Like it comes naturally on how u feel. If your having a bad your attitude is going to be bad because your day is bad. Then if your having a good day then your attitude would be good. your attitude is based on how you are filling and how your day is going.
ReplyDeleteI feel the first statement was definitely an appropriate one to state. People always fail to realize how important ones attitude is.. No matter what the circumstances, if you have a positive outlook on things you will have a totally different outcome than you would've had with the Grinch's Attitude..! For ex; the same person u have an attitude with , could be the same person you're going to need later.. Frfr! Now about that other statement.. I disagree to a certain extent , I'm not going to say being happy and positive is always going to keep you out of bad predicaments, because that would be a flat out LIE!. But saying ones attitude has NO EFFECT on the things that happen to them? None whatsoever...? THAT is totally an understatement. Anyways, the last comment is so true!! We have plenty of people to show for that, like first people to climb Mount everest "Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary." I'm pretty sure when they told people they were going to climb that mountain, people laughed and had no faith in them.. It took them to push and believe in one another! To REALLY want to be on top of that mountain! Not only wanting it but taking action to make that happen! The moral of this comment is Having a great attiude is never a bad idea to have! Also if you REALLY want something, then take action and Go for it! Just know your attitude on things makes a Huge difference!
ReplyDeleteI agree and disagree with this. In certain situations you can control what happens to you. You can't control the things that causes these things to happen. Although, there are situations where you have no control. Just have to pick and choose. How you react to the circumstance is your choice though. You can react in a positive manner or a negative manner, its all up to you! Your choices are what defines you.
ReplyDeleteyou can control the things that happens to you*
DeleteYes, I agree that people can overcome anything with a little desire to strive. Once you reach that goal you can strive and get done whatever you have to do.
ReplyDeleteI agree that attitude is a big factor on bad situations. Having a good outlook on bad situations helps to make for a more positive day.
ReplyDeleteattitude can change anyones circumstances it all depends on how you look at things and the way that you handle situations. If you have a bad attitude you will think that even the smallest things are horrible and you will be upset all the time but if you have positive attitude you will learn to deal with your circumstances and make the best out of the situations that you are in.
ReplyDelete“Instead of spending your time thinking about how bad things are, think about how good they will be!” Everyone knows that a positive attitude is key to the successful life. Life deals us setbacks, both minor and major, on a regular basis, but if we are going to be successful, we need to know how to deal with them and keep our attitudes intact! Attitude is a very big importance in almost any situation.
