11/18-Write about what you wish...

I've noticed that it can be very hard for people to focus on the positive parts of their as well as other people's lives. I, myself, have noticed this feature creeping into my personality. As a youngster, the world seemed like such a great place. It was filled with so many different subjects and matters and everything kept me curious and wanting to learn more. In my younger days, I loved going to school. Back then school teachers actually cared for their students and wanted them to learn. Back then, teachers didn't use vulgar language towards their students. But the times have changed and so have I. Sometimes you witness an act and depending on the circumstance, you may learn from it. Friends and family have told me of their different experiences throughout life and some of their stories have left me skeptical about people and defensive about life. But what i've learned is that everyone is not the same and that everyone's situation is not the same. To pass judgment on a new person that you meet is unfair. To treat someone cruelly because of their differences is also unfair. So a trait that i've have learned to maintain is the act of being open-minded. Although I may not agree with someone's beliefs, it never hurts to learn about them especially if you are comfortable with yourself as a person. Keeping a humble attitude is key for me because you are open to other's ways or points of views and at times you may be able to incorporate them into your own. I've learned that in life, you are going to come across so many different types of people, and most times because they are different from you in some way, you have fun getting to know them. One quote that I like: treat everyone as if they were going to die tomorrow and you'll see how great your day goes.
