Whether it’s a cashier at the local shop or the new boss from regional head office, we are all people first. We all have the power to fill others with joy or ruin their day."

Have you ever had one of those days when we feel that somebody is there just to ruin you and make you sad, or that someone has made your day and you feel happy? Well the quote on Ms. Domohowski’s blog is saying that humans have the power to change other people’s days. I kind of agree that we have the power to change people’s days. I say kind of because, some people can change the day that someone mad bad and make it good. I believe that we humans have the power to change our days from bad to good. We have the power to make a dissension that can impact how our day will be. At my old school the girls where brutal. They were so mean that my friend (who was also not mean at the time) and I called them the selfish, scrimpys. They called us ugly and annoying and that heart my feelings, but after a while I learned to deal with it and I changed my day from being a bad day to a good day. Yes, we do all have the power to ruin people’s days but we also have the power to change our own days from bad to good or in some cases bad to good.
ReplyDeleteI agree with that quote because you can make friends. You can make people happy because you can say a nice compliment. I would say to someone that I like you shoes it’s going to make them happy
ReplyDeleteyes, I agree with this. I have had alot of people in my life that have helped me. I also have had people in my life that have made trouble, those who cause me sadness I don't talk to. Those who have been nice to me are my friends and I always try to be nice and helpful to them. Mom always says "Treat People the way you want to be treated." So I treat people with respect in hopes that will also show me respect. I have many friends.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the statement. I believe that you can ruin someones day by saying the wrong thing. On the other hand it could make them think of something from the past and ruin their day. It can also make people feel good about things. You can give them a compliment and make them feel better about things. That is why is why words can be very powerful.
ReplyDeleteI think you have the power to ruin someone’s day because you can say something really mean to them and it can hurt their feelings. I also think you have the power to make someone’s day filled will joy because someone can say something really mean to them on the bus and then you can say something really nice to them and it can make them feel much better.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the quote, I think you can ruin someone's day or the power to make their day. If they don't know what you are saying, or if they take it the wrong way, that might ruin it for them. But the opposite, you can make someone's day. If you even say "I like your outfit or, I like...(something they are wearing or what they have) they take it as a compliment hopefully and you just made their day. I love when people say something to me as a compliment and I dont like when people make me mad or sad with something mean.
ReplyDeleteWe all do have that power to fill others with joy or ruin their day. For example, on Christmas morning you pick up a big present waiting under the Christmas tree, of course it's yours. Then, you flipped the box over to see that your dog had torn a hole in the side of the box and as you pull out your “new” North Face and IT HAS A HOLE IN IT too!!! You can definitely let that absolutely ruin your Christmas and your day, or you could just be happy with all your other amazing presents and hope that you can return it. Mistakes are always made and sometimes people are just having a bad day. Honestly, don’t take it personally. I know I probably have ruined someone’s day with my words but, that is almost always because I am tired or just am having a bad day. I also have the power to fill someone’s day with joy. Whether somebody made or ruined your day, I somewhat agree these two thing really change others days.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree that you have the power to ruin someone’s day or enlighten it. All you have to do is walk up to someone and lie or say something rude and "poof!" the sun on their head becomes a storm cloud. For example, say you lie, and it is huge. What if someone lies and says to someone that there was no homework that night? They might actually believe you! So they suddenly think the wrong things, "I have no homework!" The person thinks they have no homework because you lied to them. They come in to school and rack in the zeros. I can bet that ruined their day completely. So yes, everyone has the power to ruin each other’s day, or fix it.
ReplyDeleteWe all have the power to change how people feel. If I walk into school with a good attitude someone might comment on something negative about how I look. I might feel badly all day and they wouldn't even know how they affected me. I might think about what this person said to me instead of focusing on my work. If that same person commented on how well I did on a test, I would feel really good. I would feel much better all day. It is always better to say something kind or positive.
ReplyDeleteI believe that we all have the power to ruin or enlighten someones day. You can change someones day by buying the last bag of celery in the store. Now say the person behind you wants The celery you just took and The have to host a party and they need the celery to make a dish. The nears grocery store is in a different city. If the person behind you goes to the grocery store in the neighboring city she will be late for the party she's hosting. A guest of that party shows up while he/she's at the store. The guest sees that there s no car in the drive way an thinks it was a prank and that she got dressed nice for no reason. The guest leaves and tells everyone that it's aake party. The Host returns home and is 30 minutes late and sees no one there. You just ruined someones day by taking bag cler. So, yes you have the powerto ruin and enlighen someones dy with a simple action.
ReplyDeleteI believe that anyone can ruin or enlighten someone's day. You make someone upset by doing the littlest things. Maybe, your brother or sister took the last apple fritter without telling you. That could make you mad, couldn't it? You could have a horrible day and maybe you could take your anger out on someone else like a co-worker at work. Then, they would have a bad day. The same thing could happen to someone in a good way. Let's say you found a lucky 5 dollar bill, then you could be happy the whole day. You could pass the happiness to a neighbor just as simple as a wave and a "Hello." Then that person is happy. So, you do have the power to change someone's day either good or bad.
ReplyDeleteI believe that we all have the power to ruin or enlighten someones day. You could say something bad or something good and it could be passed on to another person. For instance, you could say a nice comment such as, "I really love your hair" then that person said something nice to someone else. Furthermore, some random stranger could come up to you and say, "I like your wonderful shining eyes." That statement could make you feel proud. As you can see, I believe that we all have the power to ruin or enlighten someone's day.
ReplyDelete“We all have the power to fill others with joy or ruin their day."
ReplyDeleteI agree 100% that you can put joy into someone's day or you can ruin it. For instance, you could say something that really hurt their feelings or you could do something really nice for them. Furthermore, someone you don’t even know could compliment you on your hair and that could flatter you and make your day. Also, you could tell them you hated them and they would get really sad. From personal experience, when someone waves to me it make me happy. Or when someone says something mean it makes me depressed. Clearly, you can put happiness into someone’s day or put your day right in the trash.
The quote “We all have the power to fill others with joy or ruin their day”, I think that quote is true, it brings lots out. I believe this to be true because even if you’re not meaning to do something wrong, you can still be able to affect someone or ruin their day. What I mean is, (example) mom is baking cookies and her daughter is coming over for dinner, the mom gets stuck in a mess because the laundry overflowed. Her daughter shows up and the cookies are burning. The daughter becomes miserable because she was looking forward to her mother’s cookies but she couldn’t have any. That’s how the mom ruined her day by accident. You can also fill people with joy. On my own, if someone does a nice gesture like hi or a nice thing to me just makes me have a wonderful day or switches my day from sad to happy. That means I wouldn’t be mean to anyone or reck their whole day. I would be nice to everyone and make someone that’s not in the best mood happy and then they wouldn’t reck anyone else’s day. I call it the mood chain like on one of those bracelets or rings that switches your mood to be happy. Well, you will usually always make that person happy and pick the right decision. My chain will brighten up your day no matter what!!
