Attitude Is Everything
Zia was the kind of girl you love to hate. She proved to be a very good friend. She was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. When someone would ask her how she was doing, she would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!" She was a unique person because she as always positive
I can clearly remember that day when my exam results were out. Me and Zia went to school together to get my results. My heart pounded as we neared the school. Zia started talking and whatever i said she answered me in a positive me. The way she talked gave a new level of confidence and i was assured in my heart that i would be able to achieve the mark that i desired in my heart. As we talked and kept walking, her positive talk kept on boosting my confidence.
We entered the school compound and went to the office to get the result. As soon as i saw my result my face turned pale. I deviated by minus ten marks. I was so hurt and angry that i told Zia that her talks are just nonsense and a liar like her did not deserved to be called my friend. After saying that i broke our six years of friendship.
When i reached home i was in tears when suddenly the phone rang. I was informed that i got the wrong results as i had another girl having same name as mine in our grade. After inquiring i found out that i got my desired mark. I straight away called Zia and told her the good news and said how sorry i was for being rude. I was forgiven but still my heart sank because i tried to break a great bond with my friend. “How i wish i hadn’t said those hurtful words” to her in the first place.
People like Zia are not so common in this materialistic society. People start having negative thoughts as they come across something that is not in favour of them. Attitude is everything as it shows path to

    If Zizi knew how to control his son and had the care of a mother as a child he would not crave this mother for his son and wife and companion in the way that he does. Most men crave women for the simple primal act of sex. Zizi does not want a woman for this reason. He genuinely needs a mother figure in his life. That is why this bride sent from the homeland is so pleasing to Zizi. She isn’t needed to take care of his needs in the bedroom, more so she is needed to take care of him in all other aspects of life. Zizi’s lack of the common man’s need for a woman creates another barrier for him to overcome in his reach for manliness.…

To make things worse I had just got moved up to a more experienced class with 2 people instead of 5. Over the last year me and those girls had become really close even though I only saw them 3 times a week sometimes 2 but in that short time period we learned to trust each other and were happy for others success. In my new class there were 2 girls who had felt that same feeling for 5 years so they were actually best friends. They weren’t very happy with me joining in so they were really mean to me so I didn’t want to be there as much as I did before. I got ready…

    While I was waiting, I looked around, and from the window, the sky became darker and darker as the cloud covered the last sunlight. I couldn’t breathe. In about twenty minutes, most parents were there. Then the head teacher started to talk about how seriously we did. She told in front of all these people: “she was the one who cheated teachers and brought her friends out of school. We teachers are responsible for your children’s safety in the school. But who is responsible for that once they are out? Jasmine, can you?” I was shocked. I did not think about that the teacher would blame me for all of this. Everyone in the office was staring at me, and my parents as well. I was ashamed, so ashamed that I wanted to hide, and I can’t stop my tears out. The teacher continued and talked to all of students: “I believed you because you are fifth grade. I thought you are old enough to distinguish right or wrong. But now, I am really disappointed at you guys.” We were still in elementary school, and we were so young to comfort ourselves in this situation. Most of the girls in our group began to sob like me.…

    Unfortunately, I was not so fond of this girl, I thought she was very rude, inconsiderate, and selfish; little did I know that she was going through a tough time. In other words, a couple of minutes before her scene, we were seated behind the curtain and she began to cry. I was shocked, I assumed that she hates everyone and is self centerd, but when she broke down right in front of me, I felt that I judged her instead of getting to know her. Unsure of what to do, I tried to calm her down by patting her back; I was not one to comfort the harsh person. “I’m scared…” She said between sniffles; I felt bad because I did nothing in my power to see how she was doing during the rehearsals. “Don’t be scared, you will do just fine! You practiced this and know every line by heart; you can do this…” I comforted her with my words. She looked up and smiled, surprising me by engulfing me in a hug. Then suddenly she sprang up, wiping her tears and said, “Thank you”, and went on to perform her scene; which she did flawlessly. Right then and there, I realised that I was to harsh on judging people before I knew them, maybe she was acting like that because she was scared. In the end, my entire self-concept changed, I had become much more kind from that day on; that was the reason I treat everyone with kindness, because I don’t know what…
