Essay / Perception of life - 585
Viktor Frankl said: “Everything can be taken from a man, except one thing; the last of human freedoms to choose one's attitude in given circumstances, to choose one's path. » I support this quote because if something isn't going the way you want it to, you can either look at the bright, bouncy part of it and make things better, or you can look at the boring, horrible part of it and make things worse. If it were me, I would always try to look at the bright side, especially since you are the one who chooses your own perception and outlook on life. This is why you should think of it this way; Do you want your perception of life to be great and wonderful or terrible and horrible. First of all, my life is wonderful and great, I should say. Even though from time to time it gets terrible, I always manage to turn things around so I can be happy and joyful again. Although, when I was younger, my life wasn't like it is today. I had to face huge changes in my life to make it the way it is today. The biggest change has been related to friendship. When I was younger, I would have done anything to be popular. All I knew was that it was a huge conflict with the kids at school. I also thought that if you were popular, everyone would like you and you would be the center of attention. Well, like a normal kid, I didn't listen to everything anyone said. If I had, my life would have been much simpler. One part I missed was one of the biggest parts of popularity. This is because there are two types of popularity. One of them is good popularity where everyone knows you for the good things you have done and wants to be with you. On the other hand, there is bad popularity where everyone knows you for the horrible and nasty things you have done and no one wants to be around you. At first, I realized that I wasn't the popular guy either. Once I realized I was the wrong kind of popular, I tried to think of ways in which I must become the wrong kind of popular. This always confused me. I couldn't stand not knowing why, so I tried to think back to what I did in my past to make people dislike me..
