Journal Entry 19, Title: The Unknown Quantity

People are all unknown quantities at the beginning of their life. What they like, what they’ll want to do when they grow up is all determined by later influences in life. They began to know who they are as they grow up; some people undergo this process sooner than other people. People find out what they do best by many different ways. Some people find out what their strengths are by slowly figuring out their own interests. Some people find out their strengths and weaknesses by significant events. Challenging situations can test someone, how they react with the sudden need to solve a difficult question, and how they try to solve the question. I do not fully agree with the idea that each person is an “unknown” quantity until he or she is tested by a challenging situation. Some people find their strengths from exploring, they try various different things and find out what they enjoy and are best in doing. Some people feel that they aren’t good in anything, and those are the people that find their strengths through certain challenges. A Chinese saying goes “Everyone have their own use in the world.” The people that think themselves as useless just don’t realize how great they are through important events.
