| How can I have a positive impact on the world today? How will I achieve it? There are so many causes and effects, reasons and answers to this question. But I think that there are three goals to accomplish these questions. The first goal is to be a positive person for every human being that you see and meet. You want to be the person who cheers someones day up, make their day and put a smile on their face. You want to be the person who will do anything for anyone at anyone time, just like Dorothy Yeck. To be this kind of person you will have high spirits and have a positive and good attitude. You want to have a good attitude even through the hard and tough times in your life. You want to be the type of person who people know you have a good personality and attitude to everyone. An example of this is Mrs. Yeck. She was the person that you could always count on the brighten your day. She was a good role model to everyone. This is the best, prime example of being a positive person, Dorothy Yeck. The second goal in life is to set high goals. You will never accomplish anything unless you set goals. It will take courage, ambition, knowledge and perseverance . Step out of your comfort zone and try new things, accomplish tasks that you would never dream of achieving. You can do it. But sometimes tackling your goals can be hard and difficult. That is why you have your "coaching staff." These are the people who you know will help in the hard times and in the good times. These people will also help you follow your dreams and goals. Dorothy Yeck was the kind of person that was opened to anyone, she was there to listen and help. If she was here today I know she would be the one who I would turn to for help. The third goal is to be happy and have good friends and family. Life will take you places. But what really takes you places is your friends and family. They are your center piece for life. They are there for you at anytime. I know that life can be hard and difficult at times but you know you can do it! Keep a positive attitude and always wear a smile. Be a great friend to someone and always be one the who be there for one another, just like Dorothy Yeck. But the most important thing to do is follow Dorothy Yeck's formula for a good life, being good and doing good equals having fun and being happy. |
