All of us are works in progress with a long way to go before we reach our full potential.
In what skill or area are you still working to make progress?
I believe that a person must be well rounded to be successful in life. Although I know I am a hard worker and have good values as a person I often have trouble trusting that other people are as honest as I am. I understand that trusting everyone who comes into my life would be a stupid and irresponsible choice but I am also beginning to realize the opposite closes me off from certain opportunities. I am trying to become better at trusting people and giving them a chance before closing them out assuming their intention is to do me wrong. There are very few paths a person can take in life and I do not want to lose out on chances because of my inability to trust people. In one of my classes at the beginning of the year we were assigned a group project, but were given the option of doing it alone even though it would be more work. I chose to do it alone because of the fact I hate group projects; I always worry the other members will not do their share of the work and will result in me getting brought down with them. I cannot trust people to do things for me, I must do them for myself.
I totally understand where your coming from because I believe the same thing,if you want something done, do it yourself!
ReplyDeleteI agree that people need to be well rounded. i think that many of people need to trust others in their life at some point. Trusting people is a big thing in life and you support that well. i agree that working alone you don't have to worry about trusting others to do work but when in a group you don't have to do as much work but trust others to help you
ReplyDeleteI agree with the statement where you say your going to become more trusting. i too need to be more trusting. because ive had so many people hurt me and do me wrong
ReplyDeleteI'm similar to you, in the fact that I don't like to let others work on projects. I hate how you have to rely on slackers to do the work, when you could easily do it better. It's not really a trust issue, it's more like a I-want-a-good-grade issue.
ReplyDeleteI like how you said that if you are more open to trusting people there are more opportunities for you. If someone lets you down though, just remember that when one door closes another one opens!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you when you say you like to do things yourself and i like how you used an example to get your point across.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. It also can be less stress if you do it yourself because its done how you would want it done.
