Write a story that ends with I had never felt so embarrassed in my life

rosijanka [135]3 years ago

Answer:

I remember when I was in my final year in my senior secondary school. I was  the top choice student and naturally was made the school's head boy. Being the head boy almost meant I was invincible to anything in school; or so I thought, until this faithful day.

The cross of being the head boy came with the added weight of the fact that I was expected to lead all the academic extracurricular activities in my school. These activities included external and internal debates, quiz and science competitions. This, ordinarily would have been no problem, save for the fact that I was extremely shy, and very timid- "there is no excuse for failure!" I would always say to myself, and I did quite alright for most of the time, almost always passing the debate to lower class student under the cloak of 'training them.'  

Here comes this big day, and a major debate was set in our school. It was so big that I could not not participate, and the whole school would be in the school hall for the debate. To match what was expected of me, I practiced for two days straight, ahead of the event; practically memorizing everything I had. Hours before the event, I hid myself in an empty class, and practiced more. I concluded I was going to kill it. I though wrong.

The big day came, and my performance was left for last, to be the highlight of the event. When the time finally came, I was already covered in sweat. I couldn't back down now. I thought, and thought, and then summoned enough courage to move my legs unto the stage. The hall went silent with expectation, students, teachers, and guests were all focused on me and I swear I felt their gaze burn through me like laser beams. I opened my mouth to start, fumbled through the greetings and introduction before I realized I had forgotten the topic. I turned around to look at the banner behind me for the topic. When I turned back, my gaze fell straight into the principal's gaze, her face was so serious with the most expectation, and I felt my heart drop. It turned out she was sitting in the first row all these while. I took a deep breath, encouraged myself to say something, and I did- unintelligibly, I had forgotten everything I practiced. Suddenly, the hall started coming alive... with laughter. Everybody was laughing at me, some fell to the ground, others had tears in their eyes. I was the joke of the day. I turned towards the principal, it was like she was laughing the most. My legs shook. I was surprised they still carried me. I looked for the hall's exit and it immediately became very far from me, but I couldn't take it anymore. I made for the exit, through the center of the hall, and the laughter intensified. I made it to the exit and was stuck at the door. I was pulling instead of pushing. It was like the sun should fall on me. After what appeared like minutes, I was able to open the door, and made it outside the hall. I could hear over the public address system the principal trying to calm the hall down in-between her own laughter. I had never felt so embarrassed in my life.

Did Stalin adhere to the principles of communism, for which he claimed to stand? Explain your answer fully.
jok3333 [9.3K]
No. Stalin kept himself separated from his people. He was “above” the common law as he was of great importance, so he was not fighting for food and shelter as many citizens were.

Write about happiness and success in your opinion ​
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

According to Lyubomirsky, et al., (2005) numerous studies have shown that happy people tend to be successful across multiple domains in life, including work performance, health, income, friendship, and even marriage.

The authors have devised a conceptual model that accounts for these findings. They argue that the happiness-success link exists not only because success makes people happy, but also from the positive affect engendering success.

The study examined three classes of evidence, including:

Cross-sectional

Longitudinal

Experimental

The results of the findings revealed that happiness is associated with and precedes numerous successful outcomes. Moreover, it was also discovered that certain behaviors tended to parallel that success.

The evidence suggests that the idea of positive affect, the hallmark of well-being, may actually be the cause of many of the desirable characteristics, resources, and successes correlated with such happiness.

The real question then becomes, what comes first, happiness or success? This is akin to the chicken and egg scenario as well.

If happiness comes first, then you must surmise that you have to figure out how to be happy before your success will come rolling in.

On the other side of the coin is the idea of success coming first, before happiness.

What does it take to really be happy? Do you have to be successful in order to be happy? There are most likely millions of people in the world who would disagree with you on that point because success does not guarantee happiness.

There are just as many people out there who deem themselves happy, while not necessarily successful, as there are successful people still trying to figure out how to be happy.

How do these two constructs tie together? That is the issue we will discuss.

According to the fight or flight theory, humans were not wired for happiness, they were wired for survival.

Many of us find ourselves rushing through life, chasing happiness. The problem is that we never quite get there.

For many of us, happiness is something we aspire to. Happiness is somewhere we get to someday. What we fail to recognize is that happiness is a state of mind, not a destination.

We know happiness is not a static state, because even the happiest people feel blue sometimes.

Norrish and Vella-Brodrick (2008) studied whether happiness is even a worthwhile pursuit. Happiness, the pursuit of it, and what it means to live a good life has been long debated
