Which of the following passages best expresses Mark Twain's purpose in "A Cub Pilot"? There is one faculty which a pilot must in

cessantly cultivate until he has brought it to absolute perfection. Nothing short of perfection will do. That faculty is memory. He [a pilot] must have good and quick judgment and decision, and a cool, calm courage that no peril can shake. "You shouldn't have allowed me or anybody else to shake your confidence in that knowledge. Try to remember that." I had become a good steersman; so good, indeed, that I had all the work to do on our watch, night and day.

Answer:

Change is so hard for some people because they might be afraid of what is ahead of them; life changes all the time, it better to be prepared then to get crushed. The thing that I can do to be more open to change is find the little things in life and pay very close attention if I have a opportunity to take it because that will lead me to being more open to trying new things. The things that I would have to sacrifice to be what I can be is to give up my old habits the old habits that are bad habits. The thing that I would most like to change about myself is the way I process things, the way I take things sometimes I take things to heart when it so small there's no  necessity to feel like my  feelings have been hurt. The way that I embrace change and still maintain my core values is loving myself before loving anyone else. The things that I hope that never changes about me is my personality and me being there for people though I don't think that will ever change. The things that I will have to sacrifice to grow as I approach graduation is my actions, I will have to be more mature than I currently am. ( I actually am a senior soo yea lol) The hardest thing that will be hardest to let go is I actually can't come up with anything right now, I'm sorry I'm about done with school, its frustrating XD. The easiest thing that I will be able to let go of is the school.

popularity can be an accident by talking to people who are pretty popular or knowing one person through several other people.

The reason why popularity isn't an indication of character is because not everyone has to be popular no one has to be popular.

Riches takes wings means that a person should find true wealth in the beauties of the natural world.

because character matter most

I agree because character and personality should always come first.

the aspect of character that I want to be known for is open minded  I suppose don't know sorry
