    In the story “Scarlet Ibis” written by James Hurst, a theme is shown to the reader that sometimes, pride can be a destructive weapon in life if we use it to look down on others. The narrator starts the story by jumping into the past, he tells a story where he was ashamed of having a mentally and physically disabled brother, and spends all summer teaching him how to walk. However, he does this out of embarrassment and shame not out of love. One stormy night, Brother leaves Doodle behind alone forcing him to run faster, but he pushes too far, causing Doodle’s death. From Doodle’s death, he realizes how his pride got in his way of accepting Doodle for the way he is not for what he isn’t. In the story, he admits “I did not know then that pride…

    If one cannot rely on himself, then others cannot rely on him. At some time in one’s life there will be someone who depends on them for something. If this person doesn’t have their self-figured out then how will they figure out how to take care of that person’s needs? You are the only one that can take control of your life and to rely on someone else to do it for you is hurting yourself and those around you. Personal responsibility is a necessity in life and also helps the community as a whole become more efficient.…

    The reasons for working are as individual as the person. But, we all work because we obtain something that we need from work. The something we obtain from work impacts our morale and motivation and the quality of our lives. It is well known that motivated employees are happier, more energetic, more enthusiastic, more productive, more driven and better performing than their unmotivated peers. Employers are always on the lookout for motivated employees and realize that motivation is often contagious and has positive spill over effects on the whole team. Most people have to work for a living. Earning the money to maintain a comfortable and secure life-style would be on most peoples ' list of reasons for working unless we have a generous family inheritance or have won the lottery, we will trade the value of our thought and our muscle for the symbolic value of pieces of paper (cash) produced by the bank (Krystle Flickety and Chris Jones, 2006). The scientific management school, which originated in the behavioural sciences and became prominent in the early 20th century, describes motivation in terms of economic needs. Individuals are only interested in work to the extent that it provides financial rewards (Taylor,…

    This chapter tends to be full of difficult choices, new surroundings, and plenty of self-reliance. About a year and a half ago, I learned the true meaning of relying on yourself. My mom unexpectedly ended up in the hospital for several days and my younger sister and I were left alone. During that period of time, we were forced to cook our own meals, do our chores without being asked, and comfort each other when we were feeling stressed or sad. It was very difficult dealing with schoolwork, worrying about our mom, and taking care of our home all on our own. But learning to depend on ourselves is a large part of preparing for the future and my sister and I learned that early in life. Gaining an understanding of these lessons was another target I hoped to accomplish before completing high school and I did. Not learning this principle causes people to be less productive and to become oblivious to the value of work. Knowledge, self-discipline and an increased amount of self-worth can be received if you learn to become…

    There is real pleasure when we do our work ourselves. Idle persons depend upon others. If a person fails to help himself, others will not help him well. By depending upon others, he loses self-confidence. He cannot face difficulties boldly. He doubts that without help from others, he will fail to do any work by himself. Thus, people who depend solely on others cannot develop courage, determination and other faculties of the mind in them. And, as is known, God helps those who help themselves…
