Journal Question #2

Each of us is an individual; we all have characteristics that define us, that identify us as different from others.  Think about yourself: what makes you different from other people you know?  The difference(s) could be physical, psychological, social.  In other words, what makes you, you?

  1. What makes me different of the other persons?
    One of the things I always notice that makes me different is my personality, because I am a person who always is happy and always saw the positive way of the situation. I try to help my friends when they are sad and I try to have a good attitude at all time.
    Other thing that makes me different is that I am a ver social person, like to do new friends every day and I enjoy to hang out with my friends.

  3. I think that one big part of my personality is my hair, I'm always dyeing it because some times I need a changes.
    Another part that makes me different are my eyes because, depending on the light they are blue, green or gray.
    i think that my personality is changing all the time, I'm very explosive sometimes.
    I'm very affective too, I love hugs.

    Mr.Griffin

    I think everyone is different, no two people are exactly alike.Everyone has their own unique look, they have their own way of behaving.We all have our lives,our own life. We can't live according to other people's lives, we can't imitate others. I think I'm different from other people,we look different,not the same height,sounds different. I only live my life well,never imitate others,also don't envy people's lives.I am a person who always is happy but I always saw the negative way of the situation.But I often make friends around me feel happy.And my life is different.

  7. A lot of different factors of the surrounding world might affect formation of pesronal identity. There no 2 same looking, and same thinking people in the world, because any small factor will change one of them.
    There is no point in touching such primal differences as: appearance, height, hair color, eye color, etc. So it will be very hard to count all personal identity differences form other people, because there might be thousands of them.
    At my opinion, my "phycology" level, threshold of pain, view of the world, backlash reaction of violence and etc., makes Me, Me. And of course my own identity makes Me, Me.

  8. Everyone is different, and I think I have two places that are different from others:
    1., I think whenever I am, my attitude is especially good. I don't care if people talk about me .
    2., I will help others when they need help, and will see a person being helped when he is bullied.

  9. Everyone has each personality and hobbies. That makes everyone become different. About me, the most thing that make me different from another people is my characteristic. Most people think that I am a shy and taciturn person. I rarely actively talk to other people, but when I become close with that person, I'll become more talkative and more exalted. Feels like I am completely becoming a diferent person. I also can not understand why my personality changed so quick like that, but that made me different from others.

  11. I think in this world everyone is special in someway and somehow, for me I think there are two things make me different from others.
    First of all, I think my personalities make me unique. From my opinion, I am a determined person who are not easily to get distractions from outside and firm my decisions. I will keep doing things which I think it cause positive effect to me.
    Last but not the least, my goal of my future is to be a video game programmer. There will not be too many people have same ambition with me. It makes me different from others too.
    All in all, everyone has different ambitions, personalities and skills. All of them make everyone unique and the one and only.

  12. Everybody has different appearance and characteristics. So, what makes me different from the others?
    First of all, about studying, I'm the person who works really good with numbers, therefore, I can go on well with math, science and everything that relates to numbers. On the other hand, I really hate literature ( Sorry Mr. Griffin ) since I used to get bad grades with this subject during middle school. Secondly, I'm a kind of person who hates pressure. Without pressure, I can handle a lot of things and do perfectly, no matter how difficult it is.

  13. My father is a aretist in China,and also my mom is interested in art.That makes art become my favorite hobby in my free time.I have tried many type of art form like oil painting,sketching,wood block painting and so on.When others playing video games at night,I will enjoy my word in painting or other form of art.I think that's the reason why I am different from others.

  14. "What makes you different from other people you know" - that is one kind of a question. For me, my existance is already a diffrence to the other. There is no one with the same skin as me, the same name as me, and same personality as me. But I think, there are two things that made me different from the others. First, I always get nervous before a quiz, or a test, so I usually screw up and end up with a bad grade ( just received a D for Chemistry Test .. ). Second, I maybe hard-working, but I also play a lot. Like, every single day, at least 5 hours in front of a computer. And those things above are the rightful evidence for my diffrence with the others.

  15. What makes our world so complicated and fascinating. There must be many reason. But for me there is only one answer—difference.
    I am a quite ordinary person. My old classmate joke me that in their mind I am so simple that they can even find me if I was in in a bunch of people. I think that is a very good describe for me but that is a joke.
    In this world no one can be totally the same as other people. I love military stuff. I very interested in arms. I love history too, and the military history his my best part.

  16. Everyone is different from each other. We all have different appearance, personality and nationality. The reason why I think that I'm different from others is my characteristic. I always want people to feel comfortable and happy when they are happy, especially my family and my friends. If anyone of them want to confide in me, I will always be there for them whenevrt they need.

  17. I think that every person is different and every person has something that another person doesn't. I think that I'm different from others because of my personality and the ways I see the things. Also because I like math a lot and all of my Mexican's friends didn't.
    I'm different too because I don't like cheese, I don't eat cheese only pizza and mac and cheese.
    Every person is unique.

  18. Everyone is different just like the texture of each leaf is not the same. Our personalities make us who we are. For me, I have a unique thing that makes me me. My friends said that I talk a lot, and I really enjoy the environment that everyone is talking to each other. But what they don't know is I prefer quiet than chatting. I am actually not so outgoing. All in all, everyone is special. Do not ever look down yourself.

  19. As we can’t find two pieces of leaves are the same in the world, everyone is different from each other. There is something that makes me unique.
    I can do something that some people have a little difficult to do. For example, my hand can go round the head and touch the earlobe and I can place my thumb on the back of my hand. I also can move my fingers in a special way like waves. These things are special and a little weird.

  20. Everyone is different, that is why people are different in society in the future. In my opinion, upbringing and experiences make people different. Upbringing depended on family.after you born, your parents began to impart knowledge and ideas to you, rather than ideas, it is the way to deal with things. The experiences are own unique wealth for you. Those experiences will help you cope with some things that is never happened on you. Take me for example, my family is different than lot of Chinese family, my parents always encourage me to do something own, and to sum up my own experience, even if this is wrong. My parents never force me to do anything, they usually encourage me to do something that I love. In this way, I never afraid of some new things, whatever is hard or not. Actually, this education from my family let me get more experiences in my own life. Because I am not afraid of new things, I have tried many things new. Whatever succeeds or filled, I always reflect myself and get the experiences. This why there is only one me in the world

  21. I am a regular person. But my heartbeat speed is different than most of others. When I checked my body in the hospital. The doctor told me maybe I have a problem with my heart. My heartbeat speed is much lower than others when I am clam down. My parents and I were so surprised about that. I will lose the chance to study abroad if we can't solve that. I waited few day and finally that's time to test my heart. I felt super uncomfortable when I was testing. The doctor surprised again and told me my heart is super stronger than others. The doctor told me some of the athletes practice their heart like that. And I'll be longevity.

  22. The reason why that makes people different from others is we all have different experiences on our life, and that experience make us have different point of view in something . In my opinion, the one thing that make me different from others is, I will always stay in positive in most of things. Because, I think life is a mirror, when you are looking at mirror, that only can show to you what you looks like “A happy person or the sad person". Because of that , I'm always smiling in everyday, l think this characteristic can make me easy to defining who am I. If you see someone who is always smiling, I think that is me.

  23. I like a lot of people like, I also like art, music, dance a lot of art,But I may be different from others, I insist on perseverance, I will go to the gym every day, at least five times a week, even if there is no time to go to the gym, will practice practicing at home, or heavy training, every time I tired Want to give up, I will tell myself, insisted there will be a better body, although the chicken breast is very difficult to eat, but also for the muscles to eat.

  26. Everyone has their own personality and their characteristics. It can build by themselves or it can build by them family. With me i think i'm a caring person, who is always be there for my friends and family when they need. I can spend a lot of hours to talk with them to solve the problem or do anything to make them feel better. I know that, this characteristic is very common but i can bet that i'm a different person from anyone else in the world.

  27. I am a person that like something exciting and i want to try something new. When I were 9 years old my father tought me how to drive the car in my father's race track. I didn't afraid of that but very happy because I like trying something new. I think this is my own personality and my characteristic may be is different with other people.

  28. In think that all people is different, that each person has characteristics that define them and each characteristic make the person unique.
    I think that one of the characteristics that define me is that I’m shy with people that i don’t know but I’m always happy and laughing, and another of my characteristics that define me is that I always help people because I don’t like to say no to a person who ask me a favor.
    Each person is different and unique.

  29. Everyone is different and everyone has their own personality. I'm a loving person. If someone nice and care about me I will be much more nice to them. For example, my roommate is Richard. He is a caring person and it is totally true. He cares a lot about me. He always wakes me up every morning and call me to go to eat. So I really love him. In November, he will go back to Vietnam I will miss him a lot and probably I will buy for him some gifts on Thanksgiving.

  30. Everyone is unique. For myself, besides my hobbies, I think I am a strange person. I don't like to organize my time, I like to spend my time freely. And deal with the relationships, I always treat my family, my girlfriend, my "boy" nicely and care about them. Sometimes it's even too much. But the way I treat the person who I don't care about I always being rude. And I can't change that. Also sometimes I am a sternly student who don't follow the rules, the reason causes that is I don't like those rules. And those ideas and motivations I can't control them because it's more like a reflection for me. So I think what makes me- Han.

  31. I am Alex from M2. I think the most special part of me is that I won’t be afraid when I’m facing a tough work which seemed I cannot achieve. I can always stay calm at this time and do the best I could. This made me always do pretty good in tests instead of quizes.

    Each of us are different. Everyone is special and has their own personality, habits and hobbies. Like me, my friends told me that I always very quiet. Because every time I study class I always looking for a quiet space myself without my friend. I don't like to study with so many people. People around me always like one of math and art, but I'm different to others. I like both of them.

  33. No one in the world is same as anyone else, even the twins. Therefore, each person has their personality, different hobbies,..which make a person special in their own way. My friends and my family think that im friendly with everyone, open-minded, I often help my friends as much as possible, but sometimes I can't control my temper. So I can find friends that can stand my temper is hard; however my friends are still beside me.

  34. Everyone has unique sides that are different from others. For me, I think is my concept on making friends. Some people may making a lot of friends but few good friends. I am a easy going person and I like to talk with others. However, I only make friends with people that I appreciative or people I trust. Most of my friends will be my good friends and I am pleased to do what I can for them, because I know that when I am in trouble, they will do the same thing too. What’s more, I like to tell all my secrets or special experiences to my friends, I am also good at release my stress by talking with my friends.

  35. An apple cann't be a pear. A tiger can't be a cat. Even if it looks like it, there are no two identical leaves in the world. So it's same as people, I am myself, I'm not like everyone else, everyone's gender, looks, personality traits are different. I felt that it was my appearance, character, skills and experience that made me different from others.

  36. I think everyone is different. Because we have our own thinking, and the different act. For example, the twins. The twins have the similar appearance, and maybe they will have the similar thinking. But why we can know who is oldest, and who is the youngest. Because of they have some act or the way they do, that can let us to distinguish them. The twins also is different, let alone we live in the different family and country. We have different family, have different friends, and different appearance. Those can make us different than other. Everyone is unique in this world.

  37. For my personal opinion, everyone have their different characters. When I was really young, I thought I am super cheerful and always happy. Someone might be say that everybody were happy during the childhood. But we are always growing up, more and more people become sad, indifferent and grumpy. They said, it is means you improved to the adults level, use the adults thinking to face the problems. But I don’t think so. The grumpy, easy to complain, sad are not the way we should face the social. I can feel my characters turning different, too. But I still can use the most positive way to look in front of my futures, my character makes me different from the other people. I can keep my happiness and share with others. I hope I can never give up until I tried my best and positive to face the failure.

    The world is not exactly the same two leaves, there is no exactly the same two people, each of us is unique. I am not the same as someone else. In the eyes of my parents, I and others are not the same. In the world of children, I was the most special one, irreplaceable! I have only one, I am unique. I have my own different personality, I have their own different dreams, each of us is unique. I will live in their own small world maverick, live full and wonderful, live a different kind of life their own!

  44. Thanks, everyone, for your posts. I read interesting "identifiers" from you, including personality traits (e.g., optimism), physical appearance (e.g., hair), social factors (friendship, solitude), and other observations. The hardest person to know, maybe, is oneself.

  46. In the psychology that everyone has individual thought, according to the experience from small to large, everyone experiences different life environment is different, the influence is also different. The biological perspective, everyone because of different parents' genes, according to chromosome synapsis, their genes are different, each of us is individuals are out of the ordinary. That is to say, each of us should be full of hope for life, good life and enjoy life.

  47. I'm the person who is always be optimistic and positive. When I face to a problem, I will not be nervous. I always think about how to solve the problem calmly. For example, the math teacher always put out the question burning your brain, but I will solve the problem step by step until I got the final answer. However, In our social life there are lots of problem around us I would not feel regret. I just look forward and hope to do it better next time.

  48. What makes everyone different from each other? to my own knowledge, each individual has an unique characteristics as well as appearance which make them stand out. There are a lot of factors that can create differences between people, for instance: hobbies, I'm the one that is interests in sports, however, someone else might enjoy doing something else. Furthermore, one of the most significant features that make us become distinct from one another is physical appearance, if you can't recognize your friends by their faces, the easiest way that helps you to define them would be their height, the clothes they wear, etc...

  49. I don't have any characteristics. at least I can't see it now,if you really want me to say .I think that is I am very confident of myself and I think I am a very real person, for example,I will wear all kind of clothes,I don't care what other people think,that‘s real me,and when I make friends, I don't care who you are and what background you have,I just believe what I feeling,If i think you are good guy ,Ok we can become friends,if not,Please stay away from me.In the process of getting along with friends,I also adjust the atmosphere very much.

  50. What make me? Who I am? Why I am here? Those three sample questions are hard to answer. Think different. Every one is unique. And we also need to think different way, be different. I think we need be ourselves. Don’t listen to other’s, trust yourself. Life is too short to living other’s. We need to control our own life. We cannot just hear some one suggestion then we just follow the suggestion. We need to decide our own life.

  56. Each individual are all different, and these difference make people different with others. In these there some people are look alike but they have different personality, even for twins. And what make me different with others, i would say my family environment, my growing environment, and also DNA all make me different with others. The growing environment make my personality different, and the DNA make my appearance different. The world is this big, everything we passed in our life all became our experience, and these experience all make us different.

  57. People are doing different things that makes them different. Every single person, from all over the world are not same. Why? Because you always doing things that creat yourself. Simple example, just like to write a article, the topic is given, every one is going to have different work, because what I am thinking now is different with yours, then, the words people write are going to show the difference between each other. Not only article, think about everything that you could do, it will exactly make you different! It is because you will do it in your own way! Aren't you?
