My Personal Qualities
My Personal Qualities
Right from childhood, I have had a fond regard for certain personal qualities, accomplishments, contributions and talents that I can conclusively say have contributed to making me the person I am today. Born of a humble background, 25 years old now, and a student of English and Literature, I have come to understand the value of simplicity in life. I know for certain that my own life is the most precious gift I can ever have and based on this understanding I have been able to use my life to give moral support to the disadvantaged groups in the society. I strongly understand that every human being deserves a right to be happy and I consider it my personal initiative to guarantee this to every person.
I am a strong believer of social justice and I know for certain that every human being should be considered equal. I do not hesitate to do all that I can to ensure that justice prevails in the society particularly for the weak. The desperate and the destitute members of the society are held close to my heart of hearts and I believe they also have reasons to live. Since I was a child, I have always felt pain when I see others suffer. I have realized that I cannot be happy when others are sad and I have believed that the only way to be happy is making other happy.
Humility is the driving force towards my good relationship with people, my teachers, friends and family members. However, I am also very assertive especially when my conscience propels me to doing what I fundamentally believe is right. I have no reservation for the course of justice and truth. And am always willing to go an extra mile in ensuring that what my conscience considers right is done. I have no apologies at all for doing the right thing. This has sometimes seen a few friends break up with me. However, I lack ability to hold grudges; there is no hate in my heart. Even as they run away from me, I continue treating them with humility and love. With time, they come to realize that after all, I meant no harm. This has made many close friends cling to me amid many challenges.
In the field of business, I am very entrepreneurial, inventive and innovative. I have contributed significantly to the growth of my mother’s small shop in town. With the ideas that I constantly give her, she has been able to expand the shop and today it is her main source of livelihood. I particularly imparted into her the idea of taking risks, however I warned her not to take very huge risks are the consequences might sometimes be too great to contemplate. Modesty and humility are some of the key attributes that mother has learnt from me. She uses these virtues to relate well to her customers who are mostly low and medium income earners. She constantly tells me that she did not believe she could learn from her son. After all she was supposed to be my role model and I was to learn from her.
I have a wide experience in writing. I write articles and poems. Sometimes when I have nothing else to do, I find myself with a pen and a piece of paper. At one point I wrote what went down as a masterpiece article on justice and truth. Then, I was still very young and everybody wondered where I got the ability and the knowledge to write such an impeccable piece. It also goes without saying that I love reading a lot. I read biographies, novels, articles on the social world, psychology, philosophy, religion – comparative religion, Hindu, Islam, Christianity. I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge. I always want to know more.
My contributions to the social well being of the society are very immense. Through the articles I have been able to write, people have been enlightened on the importance of justice and truth. I have particularly played a very fundamental role in ensuring that I inform my readers on the value of truth and justice. I have had reservations for dirty, racial and ethnic politics. I believe the most fundamental thing in politics is to judge individuals not on the basis of the depth of their pockets, not on the basis of their ethnicity or race. The leaders ought to be judged by the content of their character and on the basis of the keenness of their minds. I have also been actively involved in several community development forums. I have given talks to the students in disabled schools, I have encouraged them to be useful members of the society and this has worked positively. I particularly believe in making others happy and this has guaranteed my own individual happiness and social well being.
Though still a student, I consider myself to have had a wealth of learning experience considering the many books and articles I have read. These have fundamentally shaped my character and personality. The experience I have accumulated over the years has made me to know well that the freedom of individuals should be given a very huge consideration. I am sometimes angered by the numerous prescriptions that the government and society has placed on individuals. I believe that every individual should be allowed to do what he/she wants without any restrictions so long as he/she is in his right frame of mind and his actions are not causing any harm to other individuals. This is what right to individual liberty should entail. My experience in helping the desperate and destitute members of the society has been an immense source of pride, satisfaction and fulfillment. Whenever I sit and see how many souls I have uplifted, I can’t help but expose a wide smile.
I take significant pride in these qualities because they are what define the person I am. I believe I live for some thing and when I die, I need to die having done something or better still die for something. I live because other individuals do. If it were not for them, I would not be the person I am, the more reason I do what I do.

My Opinion
The argument of the Court of Appeal in this case is worthwhile. I concur with the Court that the jury and the District Court Judge erred in the award of damages. Of the three claims by Mrs. Clarkson, only the breach of contract claim stands out. The other two claims on fraud and breach of the Unfair Trade Practices Act were not sufficiently proven by the Plaintiff. Enquiry into damages has been a difficult area for most judges. This is because it has not been possible to arrive at one principle for awarding damages. Civil cases require judges to approximate sums of money for the loss or inconvenience suffered by the Plaintiff due to a violation of the Plaintiff’s legally enforceable interest or right. The general position on damages requires that once the Plaintiff successfully proves the facts on which damage approximation is based, the court is bound to award a reasonable sum to the Plaintiff as damages (unless public policy bars the court from awarding damages on that subject). Damages should be neither too high nor too low regarding the circumstances of a case and most importantly, courts should not award damages for sentimental reasons (Davison, 2008).
The fraud claim fails just as the Court of Appeal enunciates. The element of “deliberate or intentional” is necessary to establish any fraud claim. The Plaintiff did not reach that threshold and could not have reached it following the true picture of the facts. Moreover, the Plaintiff did not meet the threshold of violating the Unfair Trade Practices Act: the tendency to deceive. Because punitive damages are possible only where other damages such as actual and compensatory damages exist, the punitive damage in this case would also face a reversal now that the validity of two major damages are disputed. The Court of Appeal is, therefore, right to reverse the District Court’s decision in part. Perhaps the case of Pulliam Investment Co., Inc. v. Cameo Properties Banner Equities, Inc. Independence Construction Company Freedom Savings and Loan Association Independence Investment Company, 810 F.2d 1282 (4th Cir. 1987) could shed more light on the award of damages for fraud and violation of the Unfair Trade Practices Act.

Claim Practice is Essential (2)
Claim: Practice is Essential
Practice is essential in every aspect, most importantly towards feedback and improvement. Accordingly, the article provides that practicing enables individuals to give better feedback. Giving feedback provides an opportunity to be extremely helpful through the describe, evaluate, suggest framework. Moreover, practicing gives students better ideas as they can be able to go through their specific responses and correct where possible. It is also vital in developing a revision plan hence having a standard and well-structured work. In addition, its essential in review as it helps in communicating to writers on their work and giving opinions that contribute to development of written work.
Making a commitment to practice is essential to maximize the impact of learning in any environment. After all, practice is the only way to become proficient in a new skill or behavior. As learners, we therefore need to embrace the discomfort of being beginners, to allow us to continue growing and improve as best as possible in any learning environment. Writing is a process that requires a lot of practice to be proficient. One needs to keep writing, various articles and work and through it, one improves and becomes qualified. Also, in providing feedback of work of other writers, practice is vital to ensure the writer receiving the feedback understands the information given and is able to implement in their work and develop better articles. In learning environment, practice in writing is helpful to fellow students and also one benefits through the feedback received.
Practice is essential and we should therefore consider improving on the claim. We can do this by using, deliberate or mindful practice. This form of practice is systematic and highly structured activity, that is more scientific. Instead of mindless trial and error, deliberate practice is an active and thoughtful process of hypothesis testing where we relentlessly seek solutions to any problems. Due to many challenges in the learning environment. Mindful practice ensures one is able to solve the challenges and find a way to move forward and improve their learning. Proficiency in both learning and teaching comes from more practice done during the learning processes. However, the success of learning has to involve other parties’ suggestions and feedback, in order to know where to change and improve.
With increased technology currently, practice helps to make people fast in using them and perform many of their operations through the technological systems. This is also applicable in the learning environment as assignments and classwork require technological devices to accomplish them. Regular practice makes students skilled and increase experiences, hence making activities easier and faster. Student achievement is also dependent on the writing skills as clear information requires flow of information, organization and easy understanding by the recipient. To achieve this, students need to practice a lot and ensure the incorporate the feedback received from peers and the reviewer of the course works done by students. Practice helps give a conductive, respectful and specific feedback and reviews that is constructive and helpful to recipients.
