Topic > Perception of life - 585

Viktor Frankl said: “Everything can be taken away from a man, except one thing; the last of the human freedoms to choose one's attitude in every circumstance, to choose one's own path”. I support this quote because if something doesn't go the way you want, you could look at the bright and lively part of it and make things better, or you could look at the boring and terrible part of it and make things worse. If it were me, I would always try to look at the bright side of it, especially since you are the one who chooses your own perception and vision of life. Here's why you should think this way; you want your perception of life to be awful and wonderful or awful and horrible. First of all my life is wonderful and awesome, I should say. Even though it gets terrible every now and then, but I always manage to turn the situation 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 go through huge changes in my life to make it what it is today. The biggest change was in 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 liked you and would be the center of attention. Well, like a normal child, I didn't listen to everything anyone said. If I had, my life would have been so much easier. One part I missed was one of the most important parts of popularity. The fact is that 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 around you. On the other hand there is bad popularity where everyone knows you for the horrible, ugly things you have done and no one wants to be around you. At first I realized that I wasn't a good folk either. Once I realized I wasn't a good popular guy I tried to think about how I should become a bad popular guy. It continued to baffle me. I couldn't stand not knowing why, so I tried to think back to what I've done in the past to make people not like me.
