Many times I feel that I have little influence over the things that happen to me. It is impossible for me to believe that chance or luck plays an important role in my life. People are lonely because they don't try to be friendly. There's not much use in trying too hard to please people, if they like you, they like you. There is too much emphasis on athletics in high school.
Team sports are an excellent way to build character.
What happens to me is my own doing. Sometimes I feel I don't have enough control over the direction my life is taking. Most of the time I can't understand why politicians behave the way they do. In the long run people are responsible for bad government on a national as well as on a local level.
