  Doubting your decisions usually turns out poorly, sometimes, however, it works well.  If you have a decision to make and feel slightly towards whether or not to do it, you should do what you think is the better decision and not doubt yourself.  Usually second thoughts can lead to procrastination, which I believe to be the worse choice to make.  Don’t doubt your choices and never doubt your beliefs, those make you who you are and questioning them makes you question yourself.  You should be behind yourself completely at all times and follow through with what you want to do.  Why do people doubt themselves?  Usually when a decision becomes so closel to right or wrong, either choice you make might seem like the wrong one so you doubt whether or not to do it.  People also doubt themselves because their self-concious takes over and tells them they might be doing the wrong thing or not acting how they should.

   In Hamlet, Hamlet faces self doubt several times throught the whole story.  He doubts whether or not to believe the ghost and trys to prove it for himself, causing more trouble and conflict.  His doubt caused his procrastination and, sadly, leads to his death.  I believe the smartest thing to do is to not doubt what you do and go with what you feel is what you normally do.  It might be hard, but there is always a better decision and it’s up to you to make it.  Don’t hold back, it often leads to more mistakes, it never hurts to go for it and do what you think is right.  Everyone doubts themselves at one point or another, even after they make the decision they may still doubt themselves, but once it is done you should accept it and think about how it was the better choice.

   As we know people can be assumed to be many things, but human qualities are the main traits used to measure your identity.  Your characteristics are what show people who you are, and its up to you to show those characterictics.  You need to show people who you really are in order for them to know you.  Some people can share the same human quality, but that puts them no where close to being the same as you.  One trait can be shared between two people, but those two people can use it to their own way.  This can be showed through a physically strong person and a mentally strong person, both qualities can be classed as strong, but are put to used in seperate ways. 

   Humans become unique throughtout their qualities and those are what give us our identity.  We are born with all equal traits and characteristics, but those traits are shaped as we learn from our environment and family.  Our traits become our qualities and we are the ones to control what happens to who we are.  I can be friendly, but it is easier if I grew up around friendly people and my parents taught that to me as a child.  We are shaped mainly by who we hang out with and the society we are in, and how we act reflects on our qualities.

Video At… http://youtube.com/watch?v=4GHvuLwCIt4 This video works wel by showing how Superman uses his abilities to do good, it is how he was raced and shows his caring qualities, while other people such as Lex Luther use there power for evil.

http://wblrd.sk.ca/~elab30rcts_dev/in_search_of_self/human_qualities/admirable_qualities_student_page.htm Many people may interpret the advice given at this site, but I beieve they are trying to show it is how you use your traits that make you who you are.

   How can someone judge on what makes you you, it is very similar to labels in a way that appearance determines a great factor of it.  Can you take a look at someone and not give the smallest judgement on what they are like, it is near impossible.  If you see a 200 pound man bulging with muscles, it is doubtful your first impression of him will be emotional.  So how do we measure identity?  This is an extremely hard task to do without getting to know someone first, measuring somebodys humor cannot be done without talking to them. 

   So as much as looks play an effect on who you think someone is, it cannot be done until getting to know them first.  Looks are often the first thing considered when meeting someone, and that causes a first impression, good or bad.  Then once you begin to hang out with somebody and get to know them you will learn more about them and might even think their looks are completly wrong for what you assumed.  Personality, even though it may be the most important, is definetly not the most used way of getting to know someone, first impressions may come from appearance or how high his voice is.  Take a minute to talk to someone, it is the only way to get to know them. 

Video At… http://youtube.com/watch?v=zYkv9I96AGg If you pay close attenion to this video at approximately 1 min and 30 sec you will see a huge football player being very emotional, so does being huge make him a real man or does crying make him a baby, appearance plays a huge role in what makes you you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emotions This link leads to a list of emotions, only to show that emotions are a huge part of who we are, but they go underestimated.

   What are the influences on identity?  Who is to say what descirbes you and who you really are.  Everyone can say what they think of you, but what makes it true?  Everyone has a different perspective on what someone is like and even the things you call them.  Someone who thinks I am funny could have a different description of funny compared to someone who doesn’t even know me.  Are my jokes funny, or is it the way I say them.  People have different perceptions on what the meaning of a certain trait is.

   Hearing what people think of me can mean different things depending on who says them.  A friend may call me weird and it will not affect me, but hearing it from just anyone could hurt.  A label that I am called may even shape how I see my self, making my self consious or confident.  Some things that people say do not affect me, but other people may care about what every single person, stranger or not, thinks about them and that shapes who they are.

Is this video funny, well to some it may be, perception plays a huge role on labels and this video can show how I could be found funny by by jokes to one person or talk funny to another.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elton_john I chose this link to show how people such as Elton John are judged by there personal life and become labelled.  Many people think differently of John because of his sexuality, but if we did not know this more people would focus on things such as his music.
