How much are people in charge of what happens to them? Read the following statements:
- You may not be able to change your circumstances, but you can change how you react to them.
- Your attitude has no effect on the things that can happen to you.
- People can overcome just about anything if they try hard enough.
In order to receive full credit you must write at least 5 complete and coherent sentences. You must also respond to a classmate's post in a thoughtful manner.
I agree to a certain extent with this because you can't change your circumstances, but you can change how you react to them. Your attitude can effect the things that can happen to you because if your always in a bad mood your gonna shut out good things that could change your life. I believe that you can overcome anything if you try hard enough. you can do anything in life you just have to be willing to try.
ReplyDeletei don't agree with, "I believe that you can overcome anything if you try hard enough. you can do anything in life you just have to be willing to try." Because some things are beyond people's reach.
DeleteI somewhat agree. You can't change the bad things that come your way, but you can change the choices you make. I also believe that you can overcome anything, if you try.
Deletei kind of agreed but like i feel like you can change the circumstance of the situation because like for example if you hit somebody with you car you can drive off and get charged really bad and go to prison, but if you hit a person and admit that it was an accident then you'll probably just get a fine or your license suspended.
DeleteI partially agree. I'm not sure what it means by, "You may not be able to change your circumstances, but you can change the way you react to them." I think that attitude can, and will effect the things that happen to you. If you always have a bad mood you're going to push good things away. i believe that you can do anything. You just have to be willing to try.
ReplyDeleteI agree because your attitude means a lot

Deletei agree with you because i believe that your attitude can and will change your life and that if you always have a bad mood you will shut good things out
DeleteI agree with 1 out of 3 statement."Your attitude has no effect on the things that can happen to you". Your attitude does make a difference because the better attitude the harder it is to knock you down.Say if you were having a great day and someone told you that your ugly. Would yo really car? "People can overcome just about anything if they try hard enough". I strongly disagree with this statement because hard enough is never enough. For instance, if your parents got a divorce. You cannot get them back together because it beyond your reach, no matter how much you try.
ReplyDeleteI agree with how you react to what happens to you. I don't agree with if people try hard enough they can over come any thing ,but there is some thing that if you try hard enough you came over come.
ReplyDeleteI agree, because you can't always overcome everything no matter how hard you try
DeleteI agree with "You may not be able to change your circumstances, but you can change how you react to them". Because if you react badly to a circumstance it can get worser. But "Your attitude has no effect on the things that can happen to you.
ReplyDelete" I disagree with because if you have an bad attitude bad things can happen to you because if people don't like your attitude bad things can happen to you. When people don't like you.
Exactly. you should be responsible for your OWN actions.
DeleteI agree with that statement because you can't alway change whats going to happen but you can change how you act out on the situation. For an example what if your favorite team loses well you can't change that, but if u change your attitude on it will change other people around you.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that you can control what happens to you, good or bad. But I think your attitude and the way you deal with it can impact what happened. Your attitude can make it better or worse. But nobody can control what happens to them. No matter how bad you want to.
ReplyDeleteI agree because you can't control what happens to you. Whether you show a good attitude or a bad attitude, both good and bad things will happen. Life has a way of working itself out.
DeleteI agree, you may not be able to change the circumstances but you can always change your attitude. anyone can change their work if they try hard enough. If I was going to get a F on my report card, I could panic, and lie, or I could be honest and be calm. It usually matters about the person if they are under stress they are unlikely to change their attitude. In the future it won't matter as much as it did in the past, so if they think of the future they can always be ok.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bella that your attitude does make a difference because people will treat you a certain way depending on your attitude.I know this because I am rude to people with bad attitudes and i am nice to people with good attitudes.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the first statement because if you get into trouble with like a parent or an elder and you apologize and admit you were wrong and they might take pity on you and you may not get in to as much if you throw a fit and yell. The second statement I disagree with because your attitude is everything . Your attitude can make a mountain out of mole hill. You have to use your attitude for good and use it right and just not make a big deal out of small things.The third statement is very true because if you put your head and hard work into anything you can do anything possible.
ReplyDeleteI agree because you may not be able to change your circumstances, meaning situations surrounding you, but you can change how you react to them and face the problems by coming up with a solution. Your attitude has no effect on the things that happen to you definitely. You can be one of the nicest and most down to earth person, and then bad things come your way or happen. Vice versa also, because you can be a terrible person, but good things might come your way. The phrase "Never give up," relates to people overcoming just about anything if they try hard enough.
ReplyDeleteI agree you can't change what happens to you, but you can always change your attitude no matter what happened or is to happen

DeleteI agree because wether your a good person or a bad person when it comes down to a good or bad situation sometimes you really can't change it.
Deletei agree because no matter how good you are bad things can always happen.
Deletei agree because you can't change thing that happen to you. Everything happens for a reason you can't control that but your they way you act or your attitude towards your situation can make it better or worse.
ReplyDeleteI agree that you can change what happens to you. So if i want to go into the military i can decide if i want to go. Then i can't control if i am deployed. So you can have a positive attitude or negative and you can make it worse for your self or better.
ReplyDeleteYou are in charge of what happens to you because you know that there is a cause for every effect. If you know it will not end well or the way you wanted it to, then you probably most likely shouldn't do it. There is always going to be consequences for bad decisions and you should be responsible enough to handle them, even if you know what you did was right or wrong.
ReplyDeletei agree because you can't change things that happen to you. Everything happens for a reason. Your attitude can change every thing tho.
ReplyDeletei don't because you can change the way people look at you if you have a nasty attitude towards people people will have a nasty attitude towards you if you change your attitude people can look at you different
Deletei dont agree because i think that you have an affect on your attitude if you go around with a bad attitude people are going to give u a nasty attitude back and act nasty towards you and you can overcome some stuff if you try hard enough but you can't overcome everything if your sick with a bad illness but your trying to overcome it you may not be able
ReplyDeleteWell some people know how to handle things, so, if you act nasty towards them they might know how to handle it and act nice towards you.
DeleteI think if anyone tries you can control your self whenever something goes wrong. You can't control what happens but when something does happen you shouldn't get all worked up. You should keep calm and try to figure it out. Your attitude makes the decision whether this can be a good or bad. So in my opinion i would try to make it good instead of stressing your self out more than you already are.
ReplyDeleteexactly you cant control what goes wrong .
DeleteI agree to the text because if you look back on your life then you will realize all of the decisions you have made from friends to family and even in your worst of times you still made a decision to become better or overcome the situation.Also how the text states that your attitude has no effect to the things that happen to you i believe that to be partly true and partly false mostly because if you choose to steal then it might make a chain reaction, though some things get forced upon you like natural disasters or weather.If that messes with your attitude then you can change what you think basically its a never ending cycle. Also true dat
ReplyDeleteI agree because you can't change or control what happens to you. Your attitude however can't change a thing. It doesn't matter what your personality is, you could be the rudest person on earth and good things would still happen. Even the kindest and most generous person could have terrible things happen to them. "Never give up" you may hear it a lot but it can relate to everything as long as you give all 100% .
ReplyDeletei agree that you can not always control your situation like if u get late to school for some reason, but your atitude can change the problem like if u go in with a good approach insted of getting mad you wont get in much trouble. That can not only make it easier for you but easier on the person having the conversation with you wich could improve your situation and could get off with a warning.
ReplyDeleteI agree you can't change what would happen to you, but I think that you can control your attitude and it will ether make your situation better or worse. For example if you get in trouble and you have a good attitude your punishment wouldn't be as bad. Also i agree that if you never give up you can overcome just about anything.
ReplyDeletei agree at a certain extent, because sometimes your attitude can effect your circumstances. Your attitude is how you react to whats happening to you. You can't always change whats happing to you because most of the time its not your choice, maybe if you're an adult you an control more circumstances in your life then a 14 year old can, but if you change how you react to your situation it could make it better or worse or it could just stay the same you have no control of that, and most of the time people or things influence your attitude towards things too, so if you surround yourself with negative people your attitude is going to be negative and your situation won't turn out as good as you think.
ReplyDeleteI agree, you can control how your everyday live goes on. Like say your Mom/Dad says "Hey take out the trash" and you don't take it out on purpose thats your choice. Then you get into trouble that was your choice it's pretty much like Cause and Effect. Say you don't do the assignment that the teacher told you to do then your going to fail that assignment. I agree whole heartedly on this subject.
ReplyDeleteI agree you can contol your life.Like say your parents said to wash the dishes and you decide to to do it then that would be good attude. If you choose not to do it then you would have a bad attude.I very much agree on this subject .Another good fact this is like cause and effect .
ReplyDeleteI agree that some things that happen to you are unstoppable but wether or not you choose to overcome the situation is on you. If you have a positive attitude then I can assure you you'll be so much closer to your goal then if you have a bad attitude. Just your attitude itself can determine a whole lot in life and how far you make it. You can't help some of the things that happen to you so turn that frustration into motivation! Don't feel sorry for yourself get up and prove to yourself and to everyone else you're capable of doing whatever your heart desires.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree to this because your attitude can effect the way people look at you. If you have a bad attitude everyday you won't get no where in life. Being a person with a good attitude will take you far. If your parents ask you to do something then do it without an attitude because they will be in a better position if you have a good attitude about it
