YOUR DESTINY
How much do you think your destiny depends on what type of people your parents/guardian are? Do you think how you were raised controls your future or is it more about you taking the wheel?

Hi
ReplyDeleteI think your destiny depends on what type of people your parents are a whole lot in certain ways. I do think it can be how you are raised & how it may control your future; I do think it’s more about you taking that wheel because at the end of the day you are the one to make your own decisions. Most people say we have freedom of choice but I wonder....
We did not choose our gender, what country we're born in, our parents, the social class we're born into, our appearance, our interests, our talents, or our physical abilities or disabilities. And every single one of these factors affects the choices we make in life and how our lives turn out. I have no idea why I enjoy diving as opposed to art but I know it’s something I had no control over. Its part of me and my genetic makeup and this has determined my destiny. I became a diver as opposed to an artist and it’s something I had no control over. I told myself, "I didn't choose it, it chose me." So if we have no control over all these factors which make such a huge impact on our behavior, how can we be in control of our lives? You may be rich, poor, healthy, or sick it comes down to you to make up your mind with what you want to do with your life. Yes our parent maybe highly upset, but they have to deal with the fact that it’s your decision & it’s your life and cant nobody changes that.
I think my destiny depends on what type of people my parents are because in my opinion I think it mean a whole lot in certain ways. I do think it can be how I am raised & how it may control my future; I do think it’s more about me taking that wheel because what I have learned and be in my childhood its going to come back to me and at the end of the day I’m the one going to make my own decisions. Most people don’t want to live by there parents/guardian because how they treat them and telling them what to do. But I know some parents/guardian care about there children now and days because they might be scared of what’s going too happened to them. I have no/many idea’s about being a CSI. I want to enjoy being a CSI because every time I watch TV I am watching CSI: MAIMI/ CSI: N.Y. it makes me want to be like that in the future. I enjoy watching it every time. I had no control over about watching it every time. Its part of me and my mind is made up and this has determined my destiny and what want to be. Our parents/guardian wants us to do well in school because they are the one encouraging us and making us move forward in life. But it is our destiny to make our parents/guardian, family, and friends proud of what we doing during in our life. And also finish school and go to college get your degree finish and get a good job. But to me I really think my destiny depends on a person who really show you everything, do good for you, keep you going in the right path[way]and who been there for you for your whole entire life that’s all I got to say right now. Enjoy the reading.
ReplyDeleteI think my destiny does depend on my parents. The reason why i say that is because they teach you right and wrong. If you have a bad parent you might go down the wrong path. When you have a good parent you go down the righ path. Also it depends on the people that are around you. One reason why i say that is because the friends you have around you might force you to make a wrong decision. which is not good. If you do follow you would never figure out your destiny. You would be lost in this world trying to figure out who you are and why you are hear. Most parents care about there children anyway. So they would always make sure that there kids go down the right path.
ReplyDeleteI would lean more towards the thought of an individual taking the
ReplyDeletewheel in their life. Eventhough patents/gurdians usually affect out
lives , the final decision or step actually depends on us. Parents/
guardians may have a great impact or may have influenced
Individuals on the decision but we take the final step.
Usually people blame parents for what kids seem to be like. For
instance in churches or in the community in general, when a child
wears their pants in an inappropriate manner people will blame parents
for not lecturing that child well. It's not necessarily the parents
fault that the kid wants to ( think that he ) fit in. i.e. Look like
other kids. Just because the child dresses like that, it does not mean
that he was not lectured. You can take a horse to the water but you
can not force it to drink. Same applys to human beings, you can
lecture your for a thousand years but he is the one who chooses to
listen or not.
I always here a lot of people saying," like father, like son." I
totally disagree with this saying because most of the time a child is
different from the father. For example president Obama's father. From
recent knowledge , I heard that Obama did not have that much of a
relationship with his father. However he turned out to be a good
father to his kids. ( I think, because you never know what's behind
closed doors).
To furthermore support my declaration I shine the spotlight on myself.
I came to this country firstly for educational purposes and also for
the lifestyle. Not a lot of peole know this but in Africa i was the
richest kid in my neighbourhood or maybe even the richest person
( from money made by and for myself. ). In a week I could make more
than enough to provide basic commodities for three families. And all
of this had nothing to do with any of my parents. Infact my parents
were against what I was doing.
I was making so much money I decided to drop out of school. My father
would constantly yell at me about the step I had taken however his
words went in through one ear and out through the other. After
sometime I was invited to come to this country and accepted the
invite. Simply because I knew that this would be a great educational
opportunity. I saw for myself that I needed education as a backup plan
just incase my business collapses.
Currently I don't reside with any of my parents and this has an impact
on my life emotionally. I am doing reasonably well not just in school
but with my typical daily life by myself. ( not really by myself, but
with the will and power of God Almighty. ). None of my parents push me
to get or focus on my education, I do it myself.
So I hereby conclude by saying parents do not make us who we are.
They may encourage or influence but we make the final decisions on
who we are and what we want to be in life.
GOD BLESS...
Well im going to answer this question by first saying that my destiny is to become a defense attorney because that what I see myself doing plus that like my calling to do because I love
ReplyDeletethe subject of law and legal studies, so that my destiny. I do believe that your destiny depends on what type of people your parents are,
because your parents might want your to do one thing and your feel that not you so you want to do the opposite of what they see you doing with YOUR life.Like it could be many reasons why parents want their children to take up a
specific interest.
I believe that your destiny depends on what types of people your parents are, because not all but some parents want to control the lives of they kids so they make the choice for them on what they going to be life. Why is that parent want to control life and choice there career paths. Well one of those factors could be that parents always want the best for their kids and want them to have the opportunities
they never had. For example like let say the parent of a child had a hard life never finish school so they choose A career for they child
so they would'nt have to have the life they had. Also parents wantto live their lives they want throught their child, because they did' nt have the chances and opportunities to take up they interest so they firgured they live it thought they kids.
Another reason I believe you destiny is depends on what types of people your person are. It not really of what they think, but of what you think of them. Like some people want to be the total opposite of their parent like
some might not like the lifestyle of their parents so they choice a destiny that is not like their parents.Like A person might came from a abuse household or might came from a family did 'nt have much money so they made the choice of not to become that.
So that my opinion.......... Keyonna A.
first off my destiny is to become a nurse or pediatrician because i love working with children and a nurse because i wanna be able to help people who are sick and find cures for things that don't have cures yet. i don't think that the way i am being raised will affect me in the future because i was raised to know right from wrong so i know when to stay on the right track in becoming successful. i have a lot of support at home so its not like i live some where were my parents don't care about me or my beings. i am the type of child that when i dream for something i dream big so i know what i want in life is something I'm going to have to put alot of work into. i have lots of influences such as my mother because she is successful and it wasn't always that easy for her growing up so what she does is give me the life that she never had. i also don't think the way I'm being raised will affect me in the future because its up to me if i wanna do right or if i wanna make it in life nobody else's. so in my opinion it doesn't matter how you are raised it matters what you wanna become and how hard your going to work in order to achieve your goal.
ReplyDeleteI believe that your destiny could go both ways. What i mean is that with a child having a parent thats concerned and willing to help their child succeed, that child just may succeed. It also depends on the child and the way they feel. That person may want to do and be the opposite of what their parents want and expect. Your parents can't force you to do good and the right thing you have to accomplish that yourself. It's just like how they can't sit in class with you and do your work and homework for you. Then its the other situation where the parents could be messed up, on drugs, and don't care. They would be bad influences on their children causing their child's future to be like theirs. With situations like this, Many teens tend to want to be better than their parents so they try harder and succeed without any help nor inspiration. So i feel mainly your destiny is up to you and only you can determine your future. Your parent/guardian can put you on the right path but its up to you to stay in that direction.
ReplyDeleteHOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION. BYE :)
I think my destiny depends to a large extent on the type of parents and the way I was raised. My parents are of course my first teachers and what ever was instilled in me has helped in shaping my life. Although they are not rich materially, I consider the values like love, respect and honesty to be the best tools for a good life. These are what I cherish most from my parents and I hope to live out these values in my everyday life.
ReplyDeleteFrom the time I started school, my parents always seek great interest in my school work. I started school between the ages of three and four. They make sure that I get to school safe and get home safe. I do think that how I was raised controls my future. Without my parents, live would be harder for me. I would not be doing my homework all the time. Without my parents, I would not even be that smart. I would fail much of my exams.
There are some parents who do not seek interest in their children. They do not take the time and courage to set then on the right track of life. The result is most of these children fall by the way and get into all kinds of trouble. This is not to say all good parents raise good children or all bad parents raise bad children. However, good parents can lay a foundation on which to build on, I think in the end with hard work and dedication my destiny ultimately will depend on me.
I think it is a little bit of both. They say training starts at home and that is where you get your training in manners and in life. We as the people though decried which path we are going to choose are we going to follow what are parents taught us forever or are we going to start putting in a say for our selves. I feel like there is always going to be something inside you that you get from your parents but you can control your own destiny. For instants your parent’s wants you to pursue there dream of becoming a doctor which they never did you can say know and do what you feel is right for you. Some parents try to give their kids good advice and say stay and school get and get your education. Every elderly person I have talked to said it was the biggest mistake of their lives not listen to their parents and they wish they could go back and change what they did but that’s what they chose to do with there lives some people in the world probably never even set foot in a high school and still good there destiny was with them all along and they did not have to listen to what their parents have to say. Some people have no choice but to control there own destiny they might have had no parents and ran away from orphanages or where they were stay and decided they were going to make something of them self by their self. For me my mother just wants me to finish school for my career she wants to let me choose my own destiny so in a way parent sonly want you to be happy and most of the time they want you to make your own destiny and do what is good for you. So I think you and your parents have kind of a say. In away no one can really control your destiny not even you, you can only shape it. What is in tomorrow is never promised and neither is tomorrow itself.
ReplyDeleteWell that’s a good question because everyone’s circumstance is different. Yes I believe your destiny depends on how your parents raised you. I was taught to……… I wasn’t allowed to be outside anytime of the night or to use drugs etc……, we spend 18 years for some people longer with their parents. Your destiny depends on the type of people you hang out with every day. The people you are hanging out from a young age will always have an influence on your life. If they are out side till about 5 in the morning you will be doing the same thing. But they don’t always have to have a bad influence on you but for some people it’s different. But the older you get the more wise you start to become. You also have a choice to choose what you do and don’t want in your life.
ReplyDeleteIf you look at the big picture in life you will see that you hold the key to your life. I mean different people will have their thoughts about you but you can’t let that stop you. Life is hard and their will always be challenges to take you off course from the road of success. But as long as you can keep focus nothing can really stop you or get in your way. Education will take you where you need to go and complete your goals. Now growing up in different places and doing different things is different for everybody. Some people are able to control what they want to do and the people they hang out with. A lot of people grew up around drugs and got addicted to them.
They might have tried to get help but can’t really fight that urge that they get. These are just some of the reasons people are the way they are. Like I said before you hold the key to yours life’s future after you turn 18 and your moms kick you out. You choose what you want to do to better yourself later on in life. With out an education you can’t live the life really wants to that’s why it’s so important to have one. If you having problems and people are offering you help you should take it not for anybody but for yourself. That’s all the advice that I can give for this subject so you choose what you want to do with your life.
Madiyyah says: My destiny does depend on how my parents are because they taught me all the things that I need know growing up as an adult. And I do what I feel is right. You have to have respect for yourself. And if you put your mind to it you can and you will be successful. I was raised you to control my own live and do what I feel is the best. As a young adult I have to make my own decision. Everyone isn’t perfect people make mistakes and then they fix them. Your parents do make an impact on you because what they do you. And you think its okay because you see them doing it. Whatever you parents do it also rubs off on you. But it’s also your destiny to make you family proud of you. Parents act controlling to show you the right path. They want you growing up without a career or not being able to do anything in life. They push you for a reason they want you to be something in life and not be a drop out. It’s all about what you think and what you wanna do in life. Be a leader not a follower. They don’t want you doing the same mistakes they did because you have a better opportunity then they did back in the day when they were children. People don’t make you who you are you do. You don’t need anybody to push you in the right path but you family. You don’t need friend you came into this by yourself you here by your self do what you got to do so you can get out of their and pursue your career. Parent teaches their children what not to do and what not do. Most kids don’t realize what go parents they until their gone. But some children don’t want to live with them because of how they treat them. Parents also have to deal with the decisions that their child makes even though they think their wrong let them learn from their mistakes. Parents will always be there when you need them at all times.
ReplyDeleteI think your destiny depends on what type of people your parents/guardian are because the saying said grow a child has a child should be grown so when they grown old.... and another one is the chick don't fall far from the tree. that mean what ever you teach a child to do at a young age it will stay with them forever....um the way you raised your child it effect us until a period of time and it can controls our future if we want it to because i think we can make our own decisions so we take the wheel..... but our parents is also a big apart of us and our future the way they talk, treat,help, encourage for/toward our future...kay c
