I think the past does affect the present. The actions you take in the past can define your future. It doesn't always happen but in most cases it does. This could be seen in the environment, it can be see in relationships and socially in public. There are many ways it can effect your present and future.
In the real world, people make decisions everyday. It could be a good decision or a bad decisions they decide to take. It is said that the path you decide to take, defines your future.
Finally, your education can take a major part in your present and future. The amount of effort you put in your education defines what type of career you could have. Too little education can lead you to jobs such as Construction, Fast-Food employee etc. On the opposite side, with many years of school, you could get careers such as Doctor, Lawyer, Scientists, etc. Education is really important for your future. This is why it is important to take the time to start school at a young age for some good knowledge and become successful in life with a great career.
Your choices, your actions and your words can all affect your present and future. Anything from the past can come with you when walking on your way to the present. It is always important to be cautious of your actions and choices that you make. It will later impact you later on in life.

Do you *think* the past affects the present.... or does the past affect the present?
ReplyDeleteIn your post you mentioned that education can either open doors of opportunity for you or limit you, and I completely agree. However, I don't think that construction workers or fast food workers are necessarily uneducated. For example, if anyone ever told me I had to construct a building with functioning plumbing and safe electrical systems.... we'd all be hurting. Or what if the world had no trash collectors and only a ton of doctors?
How can we convey the message that education is important for everyone without tying it to specific job outcomes? What are the effects of receiving an education that might touch everyone?
In your post you said "Spoiling overall can cause a lot of negative effects from your childhood to the present day"; but I also believe that not giving into your child could also cause negative effects on their life as well. If we always said no to our kids they would start to resent and distance themselves from us. I agree that over spoiling our kids can make them too dependent on us, but do believe that they should be completely independent and decide what is best for themselves?
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you Danielle. It is okay to spoil your kids a little bit, but not too much like most people do now a days. They have the choice of deciding what's best for themselves. It just depends on them and their parents.
