Choices, Choices

Not long ago I read a blog from a student in my English class and I decided to share the story about an incident with a not-so-nice clerk at a computer store. Even though everyone has gone through bad costumer service she tells the story very amusingly and encourages us to think about our personal reaction. Click and Read!

Thoughts about the blog:
I’ve always told people who like to talk about themselves that the only way they can proof others who they are with actions. Everyone talks: about things they think, they are, they want, they feel. Most of them are opinions that are not always viewed the same way by everyone. So, how do I believe people show their real selves? Well, we all go through different occurrence in life that presents us with a variety of choices. The choices we make describe who were are a lot better than everything we think and talk about ourselves. The author of the blog goes through a series of options of how to react to an undeserved insult and finally decides not to act at all, which many would say is an action itself. She explains that she chose not to act because of the possibility that the clerk could get into more trouble than she deserved. This is a simple example of an incident that could have had various different endings. Her specific action does not describe everything she is and she could possibly react differently next time she gets confronted with an insult but it definitely shows a side of compassion and thoughtfulness in her. I am not done writing about this, but I will continue in another blog because I want to tell you in detail how this relates to my relationship with my past and current boyfriends.
