Lyrics in music stick in the mind of the listener. Zack de la Rocha, the lead singer of a famous rock band, Rage Against the Machines, wrote a song which at one part says, “It has to start somewhere”. I am not quite sure what exactly he was referring to but a perfect day has to start somewhere. A perfect day takes a lot of things to come true and it usually depends on the person. A perfect day is something that starts from inside a person and reflects off of everything around them in a positive way.
Like anything, a perfect day has to start somewhere. I believe it starts inside ones self. Something that is found inside a person is feeling. To have a perfect day one has to feel it. They have to always remember that a perfect day is within their grasp. More importantly, they have to believe they can be happy. If one is not happy they cannot have perfection. This is because joy is the result of perfection. Joy and happiness always coincide therefore, one has to be happy to obtain a perfect day. Besides feeling like having a perfect day one has to have a desire for it. The person has to want to have a perfect day so bad that they will not let anything bring them down. The individual has to be willing to go the distance, the extra mile, to complete any task that stands in their way. Even if someone does not have a perfect day, as long as they have positive feelings and desires, they will still have a great day, guaranteed.
Once a person has positive feelings inside them, they begin to lose control of their joy. This, in turn leads to them expressing their feeling of extraordinary happiness to others. The best way they do such a thing is through their attitude. Attitude really does effect everything else a person does. Attitude is controlled through desires and feelings which is why it is so important to have good ones. Without a positive attitude others will not be able to recognize that a person is having a perfect day and neither will the person. One of the best ways to show that one has a positive attitude is by simply smiling. When someone smiles it creates emotions in others that they did not even know they had. Smiling is so easy to do yet so easily forgotten to be expressed. The other part of having a good attitude is by being engaged. If a person shows others that they are even the slightest bit interested in them then they will be given the same treatment. The opposite of this would be silence, awkwardness, and possibly contention. In the end, no one likes any of those three things. Without attitude it would be very hard to have a perfect day.
There is opposition in all things. Therefore, since positive energy starts from the inside, negative energy will come from the outside. It is very key that one does not let such negative things get to them if one is going to be successful at a perfect day. If they do, then it will just be a downward spiral of degrading feelings and no progression will take place. The best thing someone can do is respond to those conflicts in a professional and mature manner. All they have to do is be polite, especially if it is a person sending out the negative feelings. This is because if a person responds in the same manner then the spiral effect will occur. The best thing to do is remember that either tomorrow or the next day, it will not matter anymore. Therefore, they can either let it get them down or just instantly move on and continue enjoying life to the fullest. It does not matter what events happen to a person that determine who they are. It is how they respond and react to those events that defines them. As long as a person can keep a positive mood they will be able to have a perfect day.
When a person is happy with themselves, others, and has a positive attitude that is unchangeable, it gives them the possibility of living a perfect day.Without joy and happiness, perfection cannot be achieved. Without desire, perfection is unnecessary. Without a positive attitude, negativity is left to take up the place of it. Without smiles, others cannot be happy either. Without devotion to being perfect one cannot begin to be perfect. A perfect day can occur everyday. The only thing one has to remember is that if they are not progressing, they are digressing.
was this an assignment? how did it come to be?
ReplyDeleteyes, it was a "definition essay" for english class a couple weeks ago. I thought it was a pretty good essay. The only weird thing about my english class is that the teacher is a graduate of PVHS and she's the same age as you so I can't take her seriously.
ReplyDeleteI think this is positively the most progressive and affirming recipe for the Perfect Day as any I have ever seen. Indeed - well done!
ReplyDeleteThat means a lot coming from you. My inspiration was actually the head football coach for Shadow Mountain. He is a singer/songwriter and has a song called "Perfect Day". Though his song doesn't actually talk about the topics I cover it's a great song and I'm proud to say that I have the opportunity of playing with him in the choir concert next week as the advanced choir sings back up for him. I'm trying to teach myself to not dance during this song so that The focus will stay on the vocal parts.
ReplyDeletewhat?!?! can't take her seriously? we are adults...don't you view me as an adult?
ReplyDelete(yeah right, i don't like to think of myself as one either...)
and good. don't dance in that one.
