Rather Interesting…

 

Well for the last week as you would know i haven't been blogging but i had been doing my Portfolio the whole time and finally completed after a few 4am mornings hahah!  Therefore over the next few blogs i will being doing them on one of 3 things

1. Influences
2. Persistence
3. Irony

However I must first state that i have had a busy week, I am very tired and (am yawning as I type) so just bare with me over the next few days.

Influences

I have touched on this before and character as well… but it is coming a more common thing in which I notice is an issue and problem to the everyday life of a modern teenager. I mean don't get me wrong we have our influences… its more who or what they are. I can recommend having influences in your life which are going to help you move forward in all that you do – that being your:

Faith: Obviously I write in respect to anyone who reads this, however I am a Christian so when i talk of FAITH i am referring to having that relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Now in terms of an influence, God can be, but we need someone who is walking the walk, talking the talk, walking the talk and talking the walk!  Having a peer or someone close to you who is a friend and experiences your everyday life (and is a Christian) will help you grow as for teenagers usually we look to older people for a Christian influence.

Life: Life is full of many interesting people, celebrities, heroes and and stereotype society trends. When it comes to picking your influences for life you don't want someone who is going to be recommending you party hard and ask questions later, but rather someone who has responsibility in their life and has a thorough understanding of what is “smart” and what is “stupid” in life. In other words… knows what will get you moving forward in life. Stop relying on the MEDIA on all those shows, and what the world portrays as right and wrong.

Career and Education: The best influence for this is someone who has had the experience in working with what you want to do. Someone who is a Christian will increase the bonuses of finding the right career and will help identify the priorities in your life. What career is best for you in terms of your own vision and dreams in God.

These may seem a bit brief, but as I said I am very tired and I am off to bed now!
