Personality: The One Percent

Personality: The One Percent

            Confidence. Personality. Composure. Strength. These are all qualities that each and every one of us has inside them. Whether or not you choose to bring them up from the depths of your consciousness to come blooming into existence like a summer rose is up to you. For a very select few, these qualities seem to come naturally and take almost little to no effort to keep up a confident front. For many, many, many others this task seems almost impossible.

            For most people, the opportunity to become a confident leader and overall person has all but slipped away, down the riverbank of life and into the vast ocean where most societal dreams lie waste. They feel as if all strong personality has shriveled and died in their insides and has been all but forgotten. These people are about 99% of society and it’s up to the one percent of us to make this world interesting for the rest of us to possibly watch on the internet. These people, now codenamed: The One Percent, are what I think makes the world go round and makes life worth living. You obviously have seen the type, those who can get embarrassed and shrug it off like its nothing, the ones who do stupid stuff merely for others entertainment, and those who can hold their own in any conversation and make themselves and others feel just as important in the world. I strive to be one of these people, and in some ways, I’ve already reached it and in others, I’m nowhere close yet. I love to talk to people and make them feel welcome, I’m not afraid to look like an idiot for others, and I love to make people laugh and share what little talents I have. I’m also afraid of failure, like if I audition for a play at my school (which I do quite as often as I can) I worry about not getting a good part and wonder if it’s even worth auditioning at all. I’ve learned over the years however, that it’s best to not worry so much about such a trivial thing such as which part you make, because it’s better just to make the most of what you have and go with it. That happened last year with one of the plays, I got a very small part but then it turned out to be the best section of the entire show. The audience loved it and it was a great time. I was glad just to be a part of it.

            I ask all of you reading this to think about what I say, and see which kind of person you are, are you the quiet one, the shy, the invisible. I challenge you to be who you really are and show the rest of the world your confidence. I know you can do it and I believe in you. Peace to all of you! Love ya.
