Difference between Fear and Respect



The debate between fear and respect is still on the table. Respect is a positive feeling of esteem or deference for a person. As for what is fear, it is an emotion induced by a perceived threat which causes people to quickly pull always from the feared.

Fear and respect, as contrasting aspect as it may seem, do have their similarities. Both the feeling of fear and respect arise in reaction to the action of other people. It is the difference in action that defines whether a person fears someone or respects them. Fear makes people want to get away from the feared as soon as possible while respect attracts them. Fear is generated due to physical or mental abuse experienced whereas respect is built on trust and confidence.Both fear and respect are expressions that increases more and more due to ones actions, but respect is line-enhancing while fear is life-threatening.

Fear can be sometimes mistaken for respect. Just because the Jews did what the Nazi’s told them to do, doesn’t mean that the Jews respected them they did it because they were afraid the Nazis would kill them. Fear is only a naturally response to the coming danger. Respect is not earned by making people fear you it is earned by showing compassion. Lord Buddha was respected by all because of his compassion. He showed his love to even his critics and his haters. He was respected not only compassionate but also because he was forgiving. Experiencing fear can make one crippling, or eve make one feel like escaping when it is not appropriate to do so. But, it is not always adaptive. A small amount of fear before an important speech serves a purpose. It encourages you to focus on your topic and avoid making a fool of yourself. Respecting someone or being respected, in contrast, always spurs attraction, love and trust.

Fear and respect, similar as it may seem, are still two contrasting feelings. One enhances people to continue following whereas the other leads people to run away. Trusting in others, and respecting them invites respect itself whereas, abuse others and threatening them always invites fear.

Difference between Arrogance and Confidence



Confidence is a feeling that makes people to think positive and believe in their own abilities. They have the ability to make proper decision in any circumstances. Confidence is accepting your weaknesses and being ok with itresulting in the ability to overcome their weaknesses. They always have different opinion and alternatives to any matter. In other words, a confidence person feels capable of doing any task from inside out. They are self-dependent. A confident person believes in his strength, will also understand others may be stronger, and that each person is a complete package of strengths and faults so will remain humble in both. It is considered as a good attitude which will help them to trust themselves as well as other people and is a key to success in life. 

In case of arrogance, the early negative experiences typically consist of displeasure or outright criticism from significant others, especially the parents but also siblings and others. People with this attitude believe only they can do this but no one else can. They get what they want even if it results in the emergence of disappointment in others. Their logic of themselves depends on thinking not as much of someone else. An arrogant person tends to be arrogant to pay off for areas of weakness that anguish the individual. Arrogant people can and often do have accomplishments but there are noteworthy costs.
In conclusion, confidence is considered as good nature and arrogance considered as bad. But, there still exists similarities between them that lead people to have these two amazing traits; the ability to believe oneself that they can do this and succeed most of the times.

Different Roles I Play



We play different role in a different time and situation. Some of them are good and some of them are not as expected. So just like other people I too have some role which I play every day in my life such as a son, good brother, student and a faithful friend. I am going to explain each of these in details so let’s start with son.

I clearly remember that day. It was the morning of January 21st 1998. My mother woke me up and told me to get ready. I had no idea why am I getting ready. She keeps saying me to do it fast because we were already late.  I asked her where are we going then she said, “You like surprises don’t you sweetie” and I said yes, “then you better hurry” she replied. I thought we were going to the grandpa’s house because it’s been a while since I saw him last. I got dressed and then she took me to a place. When I saw it first I was totally confused so I said, “I thought we were going to the grandpa’s house, I like it there” then she smiled at me, kissed me on my both chick and said “You will like this too”. Later that day I realized that it was the first day of my school life.

Another part which I play every day of life is brother. It was first semester in Islington College. Since this college has no particular dress for the student, I needed some extra shopping. I went with my mother for it. My mother brought me some cloth mostly casual type. I wanted to have one extra t-shirt with the John Lennon’s (member of American music band ‘The Beatles’) print on it. I asked her for it because I have been quite good fan of him. She immediately refuses it because according to her I did enough shopping. When I realize that there’s no other way to convinced her, I decided to request it to my sister (elder sister). When I asked her, she agreed to buy that for me but in only one condition. That condition was that I had to get ‘A’ grade in at least of my two modules. Since I had no other choice I decided to go along. At the end of the semester I got three ‘A’ and as she promised she brought me that t-shirt.
Besides these two roles there is another character which is a part of my everyday life and that is student. It was my second semester in extended program at Islington College. In that semester I had to study four modules, one of them was Computer Programming. I’ve been waiting to study this course since the day I joined Islington. It was also one of the reasons to choose computing. I spent more time on this module than other three. I knew that other three are also very important in order to get scholarship but I couldn’t do that. I try to do that but my mind was more attracted to the way of writing that piece of computer code. I finished every exams in time, submitted every assignment in time and because of these actions I was so sure that I will definitely get ‘A’. The result was “B” which was contrary to my expectations.
I would like to conclude my blog with some points. First, I write about these role doesn’t mean I don’t play other role in my life. If I have to write about the roles which I play everyday in my life other than this them=n I will definitely in my future.

Personality Test

          In the tutorial class, I have given a personality text through a website called www.41q.com . It was quit interesting. Most of the result from that test was true. Here are the result:

Your personality type: "Good-natured Realist"

Quiet, kind and conscientious. Can be depended on to follow through. Usually puts the needs of others above their own needs. Stable and practical, they value security and traditions. Well-developed sense of space and function. Rich inner world of observations about people. Extremely perceptive of other’s feelings. Interested in serving others. 

Careers that could fit you include:

Interior decorators, designers, nurses, administrators, managers, secretaries, child care/early childhood development, social work, counselors, paralegals, clergy, office managers, shopkeepers, bookkeepers, homemakers, gardeners, clerical supervisors, curators, family practice physicians, health service workers, librarians, medical technologists, typists.





Renowned persons with similar personality types:

  • Alfred Tennyson, poet
  • Barbara Bush, American first lady
  • Jimmy Stewart, actor
  • Kristi Yamaguchi, figure skater
  • Louisa May Alcott, novelist
  • Michael Caine, actor
  • Mother Theresa, missionary nun
  • Mary I, queen of England
  • Robert E. Lee, army officer
  • William Howard Taft, American president

          I was so amazed when I see the result of my personality test which I have given in www.41q.com because the result was true. Every line was true. I am kind and conscientious and I do like quiet environment. I cannot think properly in noisy places. Most of the time I feel like I am depending on someone or something but I want to change it and become independent one because the people are not going to be there to watch my every step for my entire life, so this one is hard truth for me. Except this one, I am happy with other point like, I do like to put other’s need first, I do like my tradition, I do like serving people, extremely perceptive of other’s feeling etc.



          Again I was amazed after going through every option which is fit for my career according to this website except I was happy before but I am not here. I join Islington to become a successful computer programmer but the option I am looking for is not on the list. All the plans I make, all dream I dreamed about being good and successful programmer is gone. I never thought that am fit to become social worker, nurses or something like that even though part of me like it but not that much to make it actually happen. It is quite surprising for me.

Task 2

Manage own learning and personal development, including using time management and organisational skills, with a focus on lifelong learning and professional development.


Every well-known and successful person has some good habits which led them to successful world such as time management, personal development and organisational skills. Well like these kind of people we need to follow the same path to be in that place. So let’s start with time management, time management is dividing our time in such way that we can give more time to important stuff and some less time to not important stuff. Personal development covers our mental as well as physical development such as thinking logically, decision maker etc. and organizing our skills which means collecting different small skills in one big form in order to get achievement.   

Task 1


Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of essential facts, concepts, principles and theories relating to computing and computer applications.


Demonstrating our knowledge and skills to our friend or other people means make them to know about what these knowledge and skills means regarding facts, concepts, principles and theories related to computing  and computer application as well as how they are useful in our daily life. I am pretty much sure that I understand it in the same way such as concepts which means the basic ideas about what is computer applications and other computer thing related to computing.
