Can I Persuade Others to Help Me? - Epiphany Foster

When it comes to persuading someone, you're trying to get the person or the audience on your side. Convincing them why your thought, opinion, or choice of doing something is better. I always come across a situation where I have to persuade someone so they wont get themselves in trouble or hurt. In general, I would persuade someone to do the right things and stay out of trouble.One of many issues here in the United States involves smoking. Some people don't realize that they only don't affect themselves but family and friends as well. Smoking leads to cancer and cancer lead to many health issues including death. A smoker will become high risk of getting lung cancer,heart attacks,strokes including other diseases like emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Like I said before, even smoking around family and friend places them at risk of getting secondhand smoke. Being around someone that smokes and inhaling that smoke into your lung places infants, toddlers, children, and adults in the same category. Most importantly,you must know that over 480,000 people die from smoking. So the choice is yours, do you really want to put yourself and your loved ones in harms way? I tell my uncle to always keep your body fit and healthy. Breaking the habit of smoking isn't easy but  decreases your chance of being extremely ill and decreases your chances of having a short lifespan.Put down the cigarettes to save not only your life,but the lives around you. 

 
  
Note:
Do what's right for you and the people.
Love and care for others, pass your reflection of making good choices onto others.

What Inspires Me? -Epiphany Foster

There are some people in my family that inspire me such as: my parents, my family, and accomplishments by famous people that made history. My single-parent mother always told me when I was smaller, I was destined to do get things in my life but it all started with the choices I make a school. My family members like my great grandmother, uncles, aunts, and elderly folks constantly remind me to go to college and be successful. I seen how important it is to my family for me to go off to college and become a successful young lady. No one in my family has went to college and finished;that's why I wake up everyday giving me 110% to go out,do my very best,and give it all I got. My inspiration also comes from famous people like Maya Angelou, Oprah Winfrey,Martin Luther King Jr, and Micheal Jackson. I didn't pick them because of their skin color, I listened,watch movies,read books and biographies about their lives. These vary people grew up having a hard lives with multiple challenges and tribulation that lied before them. Some never knew they would change history and the way we reflect on our history nowadays. But some,actually made up in their mind that they were going to become something great. They believe their were going to change the world and the people in it who went through the same thing. People voice were heard through these individuals whether it was about rights, religion, equality, freedom, or justice. Just by believing in yourself and understanding a proven fact, "you can become anything you want as long as you put your mind to it." It doesn't matter where you come from or what your background looks like, you can make it if you push yourself to do so. I believe my family is counting on me and i know they're going to be there for me every step of the way. I won't to let them down and I feel it's my duty to finish my mission to be great and become something amazing. I want the world to know my name and inspire others kids to do the same.

           

Think About Who You Call Your Friend

Some people may define a friend to be a person they have known and grown attached to in some way. It may have been by their looks,similar ideas and hobbies,or just having"A LOT" of things in common. Well,while that may sound fun,exciting,and great. There is a little secret behind these very people we call our friends. I'm not saying everybody who you call your friend are backstabbing, lying, manipulating people but sometimes you have to pay attention to details such as: character,body language,how they act in public/around others,and things that come out their mouth. Some people who you have known for a very long time will turn against,betray,steal,and use you to their advantage without you knowing. One thing you fail to realize and check involves their environment. Who do they choose to hang around with? Are they the kin of people in the streets and hang out in the club? How do they dress? Same or different when they're around other people? How do they talk? Bad to just impress others or proper and normal. Some people lifestyle and choices aren't the same compared to you. These very same people you call your friend will influences you do the wrong thing,peer pressure you, and cause you to end up on the wrong path. They can prohibit you from moving forward and being successful. You might end up in activities such as: smoking, drinking, being involved in criminal activities, and many more. It will allow you to loose focus on what's really important such as: getting an education, school, sports, scholarships,grants and so forth. Take a moment to stop and realize the people you hang around and communicate with. Ask yourself,"Is this the kind of person I want in my life?" Do this person want to be successful in life or make something of themselves? Does this person set goals to do good in school? Do they hang around people that smoke or people that read books,stay on task,and do their work? Are they disrespectful,mean, and nasty to others or treat others as they would do to themselves? One of the most important questions that combines the rest of them together is: "What's the status of my friend's priorities ?" What really caused this person to want to hang out with me.? Did you have to change your appearance, fashion, or style to catch this person attention. Did you have to do a lot of things you normally would do to impress this person?These types of friend will laugh,giggle,and smile in your face one moment.The next moment, their talking about you behind you back to someone else telling all your business and spreading lies"he say/she say drama". Some will only hang with you if you do what they think is cool or would attract attention from others to be known or popular. These say type of people will set your life up for the wrong things instead of pushing and motivate to do great things. At the end of the day a friend would do anything to hurt you or put you in harms way. They would always keep you up lifted to go out and do greater things in life. They'll help you up when your down. They'll make you happy when you are sad and when you need them,they'll pick up the phone,talk to you about anything that's on their mind, and be there for you through think and thin.That's the kind of friend I want, a person to motivate,push,and tell me to keep going no mater how hard or tough it get because they'll always be their for me. Even if forever isn't forever and always isn't always. Let it be good will it last,but if you do find a good friend,keep them close while keeping your eyes and ears open.
Note:

1. If you every have to second guess yourself about doing anything, don't  do it. Always go with your first thought.

2. "Don't every allow a person to push you to do anything you don't or you'll regret later."

3. Find someone who share the same goal in life as you no matter how big or small it may be. A goal is a goal;a task that your trying to reach,complete,and set bigger ones on top of them.

Better From a Distance😟😧💓

Sometimes it's hard to let a person go whether or not if they're your best friend,associate,ex boyfriend/girlfriend👫💑, or even family👪. My great grandmother always said, "(when I was small) if I you have anything nice to say,don't say it at all🤐." I feel if you truly love💓,care😍, and have feeling😏 for a person,you wouldn't say anything to jeperdize yall future.That includes not saying anything that would hurt them😢or break them done💔. As much as you want the other person to feel😡 how you feel😠,it's best to be the bigger person👌by staying strong✊,calm,😌and collected😊. Some people in this world don't appreciate things😤that others do for them,mainly when it comes from the bottom of your heart💜😒. No matter what you do for a person,they will always complain😲 unless you're bending over backwards for them to perfection😭👐💯. If its a relationship issue😞👫👭,work it out by having a decent conversation without retaliation or being aggressive. If its your best friend or friend,do the same as a relationship but listen👂to what the person has to say and decide whether you agree🖒/or disagree🖓. The hardest comes down when its your own family/blood👪. It all depends on the sitaution but issues between family can vary from different levels.Be calm😌,an active listener👂,and observer👀.But most times they won't realized what they lost🔎 until its gone👟 and sometimes gone for good🏃🌬💯😔.Forcing you to do the only other thing I can think of,which is loving💝them from a distance🏃. Whether its distance from texing📲,being on the phone📞,or living in a different city/state🌐. The question is,it really worth it? 🤔You tell me what you think.🗣

Rule#6:
Never let a person feel that they can get over you or play with your mind like your a toy.Remember your value and expectation.

Note:
They're plenty of people around to choose to be with.Just let that person make you happy,and feel like the luckiest person in the world🌎,and,let them be the right one for YOU.

Remember This:
   Ex1:As long as you allow a person to get over you (skate⛸ over you like ice skating⛷),they will continue to do so. It's just like look at a ATM machine with a special combo that can spit out $500.00 a day💰. Of course if that was true,everyone around will try and get something from it,even if they don't deserve it.

Perseverance is a steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.Its so very important to keep pushing no matter what obstacles that stand in your way.In order to reach your goals,you must/always stay focus and work hard. Whether its to get a job,school,or sports it all start in the mind.To plan,be organized,and put into action. Some people do it for the fame,money,glory,spiritual drive,destiny,or success. No matter what it is,if you want it-GO GET IT!!
Trust me it's tough,stressful,and put you in difficult situations that could make you give up,stop,and move no further.But know that there's people around you that want the same thing,YOU ARE NOT ALONE,but you just have to find them.Hard work pays off in the long run,you'll see the results,rewards,and blessings if you want it bad enough to put the effort into it.
