The main thing that gravitated me and interested me a lot about this article was that it said we spend average 3 hours on our phones a day, now unfortunately for me my phone broke over the weekend and I now have no phone for God knows how long, but I have noticed just in these few short days how much it actually influences us it could be something like our GPS, our work life or social life, and yes, I have realized I now have to talk to people to their faces instead of virtually, and just in these past few days I have came across a lot of people and instances that made me realize how much we do depend on our phones. When someone gets in an argument they turn to their phone for maybe sympathy from their friends or maybe even confront someone through their phone, now to me I kind of see a little bit of cowardliness in that, I'm not saying I've never done it but I am very much realizing now that it does say a lot about yourself indirectly. Our lives have changed because of technology and it's a great thing and I know it has influenced us in the ways that also aren't for the better. This is one way that it has made a bad impact, people aren't confident and they aren't being upfront with people because I could tell you a lot of people I know that would never confront me or anybody to the face because simply they are scared. There's nothing to be afraid of it's just the fact of talking to someone that freaks everyone out for some reason.
Happiness, courage, sadness, and even confidence, all these things are contagious but just like any type of disease you can control yourself and how it effects you. Good, bad, happy or sad whatever you do is up to you. Confidence is the key to success, if you are a head strong type of person you can achieve almost anything you put your mind to. Vince Lombardi if you didn't know was said to be one of the most successful coaches in the NFL he lead the Green Bay Packers to their first two Super Bowl victories ever. If Lombardi didn't have the confidence he had or have a head strong attitude, he would not be in the NFL hall of fame to this day. He was many assistant coaches and head coaches before he was the Green Bay Packers head coach, he kept his head high with his confidence of being a NFL coach one day and he succeeded. This is which we can all take into prespective and maybe make some changes.
Confidence can play a role in an everyday persons life whether that be saying "Hi" to someone in the hallway on the way to class, or rasing your hand when nobody does when a teacher asks a question. When you send positive vibes and confidence you will receive it. Everyone could work on being confident with themselves, maybe making changes with a friend group or maybe it be to change the way you have an outlook on life. Whatever it may be you predict your future and it all starts with who you hang out with or the people you surround yourself with. As Mr. Daly said in his blog "surround yourself with good people". |
