Rel paper

I think people all have their weaknesses and flaws. They can be fetal to people’s goal. As the author said in previous chapter, people need a find their desire and focus on it. It is a good start to achieve the calling. However, people’s weaknesses and flaws can destroy the hard working.

For myself, I want to be a good lawyer and a good lawyer needs to have the ability to communicate with people. A good lawyer needs to have the ability to get others’ trust through talking. Yet I have difficulty to communicate with people. I do not like to meet new people and I have a hard time to look nice. I feel it is awkward to chat with someone I barely know. I also feel fear when some stranger talk to me first. I do not know what to say, how to act.

Obviously, my weakness can kill my dream being a lawyer. I tell myself that I need to change. I start to talk to strangers. At first, I feel I am so stupid and I feel so humiliated. I feel like everyone is laughing at me. But I need to continue. I know I can have improve soon or later. I need to take the humility and transfer is to my driving forces.

So far, I still feel uncomfortable to talk to strangers, but I will still talk to them. I continue challenge myself and make progress. I think humility is a important part in our life. When we feel humility, it means we have weaknesses. What we need to do is not avoid its present, but to face it, overcome it and then we can be a better person and achieve our goals.

Chapter 6 talks about community. Firstly, I do not understand hoe community helps with our personal calling, but later, I agree with the author that community is important in our calling. We cannot live along in this world. We need accompanies and we need love from other people. I can not imagine a world without my parents, my girlfriend and my friends. If they are not exist any more, I feel like there’s no meaning of my life.

I love my family and my friends a lot. I do not know what my calling is but I know whatever it is, I will take care of my family and friends in my entire life. The other thing in the chapter I really agree with is that we should take care of our family not only by money. I think money is important in our life but money is not the most important thing. I cannot just sending money to my parents and say I take good care of them. I need to consider what they really need. I need to spend time with them, care about their health and ensure they are in a good mood. That is how we should take care of people we love.

Everyone’s calling is decided by oneself, but it does not mean that community is unrelated to people’s calling. When we find our calling, our desire, we want to focus on it and working for it. We also overcome many weaknesses through time, but we cannot give ourselves a objective judgment of how are we doing. Yet the community can give us comments and reviews. People around us can help us to improve.

In my first English writing class, I wrote my first five pages paper in English. I remember I was so happy and satisfied after I finished. I thought it was the best paper I read it again and again and I like it a lot. I thought I can get a A plus, but I got a B. My professor gave me comments and told me where I can improve. I was sad that I got a B but I also feel relieved because I do not want to be an arrogant person. I was glad that someone tell me where I did wrong and pull me out of the unrealistic self-appreciation.
