College Essay Essay, Research Paper

It would be conventional to choose a parent, family member, friend, or teacher as a significant source of influence in ones life. However I am not conventional or at least I try not to be. I am very open-minded and observant. My personality and work exhibit eclectic-laden themes drawn from a chaotic world of sources in which I perceive. I constantly labor to locate an un-conformist individuality. Although paradoxically I am always centered in my stoic core of self-generated beliefs. So though my influences are pulled in from a broad it is in my nature to state myself, as modest as possible, as my true significant source of influence. Many would disagree with me mechanically, “You, yourself cannot influence yourself.” I do not fully agree with such thinking and will not though pursue defending my kind of thought at this current position. I will instead stand by my own logic and present how it is actually applied.

As I mentioned earlier I am very open-minded and eclectic. I believe that I am so super-saturated in broadness that it adversely creates a narrow isolated face. Thus instead of being unstable and giving to all these fleeting passions I rather draw them in and use them forcibly in an egotistic yet modest way to produce an independent self- reliant narcissistic self. This ideology has the most significant and profound influence on myself and guides my influences. I look to myself for guidance. I praise myself for success. Above all, I blame myself for failure. So in actuality I appreciate this world of difference and cherish it wholly as much as I appreciate everyone and myself.
