Essay / Victims vs. Creators - 587
Playing the victim in various situations is far from difficult. Victims tend to sit idly by and watch their lives fall apart. A victim is someone who blames others, predicts defeat, and also gives up. For example, in the article “Think of Yourself as a Victim or a Creator,” “what the first student said – “it wasn't my fault, it was the bookstore's fault” – was indeed true. However, this did not help his cause. In the end, she did not achieve her goal (getting the book). (David Marman) This person belongs to a victim because they made a false statement that cannot achieve its goal. Being a creator can also be difficult, but allows you to change the direction your life is going. A creator asks questions about how to achieve their goals, thinks positively and searches for a better choice. For example, in the article “Do you think of yourself as a victim or as a creator,” “the second student did not ask, “Whose fault is it that I don’t have the book?” but instead asked "What can I do to get the text I need?" » When her first answer didn't lead her to her goal, she asked the question again and again, until she finally reached her goal. (David Marman) This person belonged to a creator because he thought of ways to achieve his goal instead of blaming others for the situation. The idea of the creator and the victim was invented by Dr. Skip Downing. If you think like a creator, you can achieve anything. If I think like a creator, I can achieve my goals of success in college, as well as success in life. My mother is someone I have considered a victim since the beginning of the school year; my assistant principal, Ms. Rungee, informed my parents and I to complete my financial aid. The financier...... middle of paper ......needs to have to succeed in life. I have learned to really think deeply about the problems I encounter. Anyone can succeed using the role of creator. I believe that if anyone has attended college, they should adopt college success strategies because it has helped me become the positive person I am today. For me, as a creator, it had a big impact on me and my inspiration in life. Works CitedMirman, Davis. Do you think like a victim or a creator? You are the prime mover, 2012. Web. .Gingrich, Rev.
