Not all days are the same because when you wake up you realize that you are in a better or worse mood than the previous day and this makes a great determination of how you entire day will be. I have had several bad days and no matter how hard I try to pretend that everything is okay, at one point I might end up showing it out. We are always told to take each day as it comes and I try my best to do so because you can’t dwell into something that you can never change like the way your day starts and how it ends.

When I was growing up I was taught that you don’t have to do just what you like but at times you have to push yourself and do what you don’t like. This is because if we do what we like we might end up neglecting a greater part of our lives which is crucial to our overall development. As a student I have learnt to force myself to do things that I don’t enjoy doing like for example reading for exams in a subject that you don’t have an interest in and which you barely even understand. While you go through such a struggle you will not realize it but ones you see the fruits that your efforts bear then you become so proud of yourself for going that extra mile.
Talking to people you don’t like is just the same because you cannot like everyone around you no matter how hard you try. I have a friend of mine who never task to people she does not like so most of the times when she needs something like a favor or when she is in deep problems and she needs those same

people to help her out, she feels embarrassed and would rather send me to them instead of going to them personally. This is such a bad attitude because what will happen to her in my absence or when those people decide to be mean to her or if they expect her to treat them the way she ought to. If you are a social person who relates quite well with those around you then you should be grateful to God because most shy and anti- social people face many challenges when they have not adapted to a new environment.

They say that early training gets a person to become what they will in the future. If you want your children to be lazy then teach them to neglect their duties and responsibilities when they are young and they will forever depend on you. If you want your child to be independent and very positive, teach her the value of working hard for everything and teach them how to be aggressive and when they grow up they will make you proud. Most of us take for granted the little things that really matter and we overlook the idea of us being our brother’s keeper. If we keep telling our friends when they need our helping going about certain issues then we lace the blame entirely on ourselves and whatever the result will be, we will be accountable to them. Let us be positive and be willing to share whatever knowledge that we have with other around us to avoid getting them into deeper problems than they are already in.

All these things go hand in hand because attitude is the driving force in any form of society. If you have a bad and negative attitude it will reflect to the way in which other people relate to you so we ought to be more welcoming, helpful, encouraging and aggressive every day when we wake up. And we should also endeavor to touch on other people’s lives every day so that we may not be the cause of their misfortune but rather be counted as a contributing factor to their success.
