Question

Can someone help me with this very short essay, please?

Here is the goal for this assignment: Type an essay of no less than 125 words naming which of these six people most nearly represents your weakness. Then explain how it may affect your career and ministry, and describe what you should do to correct it.

Skeptical Steve
Paralyzed Patty
Frustrated Frank
Shrinking Shirley
Impulsive Ivan
Paula Procrastinator

These are the roadblock definitions:
Skeptical Steve doubts that anyone can make good decisions. If they do, the outcome will not change things anyway. The situation looks hopeless. Steve's problem is a negative attitude.

2. Paralyzed Patty cannot face up to making decisions. When she was young, her family ridiculed her and persuaded her that she could not do anything right. Now she has no confidence at all. Her early attempts at decision-making went bad. The fear of failure keeps her from even trying now.

3. Frustrated Frank does not know what to do. Whenever he tries to make a decision, his inner conflicts overwhelm him. He knows he should serve the Lord, but he wishes he could become a millionaire. Frank cannot reconcile his conflicting desires. He needs to clarify his values.

4. Shrinking Shirley goes along with any suggestion. An only daughter, she was overprotected by her parents. Now she is over-dependent upon them. Consequently, she does not make decisions; rather, she waits for someone else to decide for her. Besides, Shirley does not get involved enough to need many decisions.

5. Impulsive Ivan performs by trial-and-error. He never has been taught how to make decisions, and he is not about to learn now. He just does what comes naturally. Of course, he creates a lot of problems that way.

6. Procrastinating Paula has a million excuses for not getting things done. "Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow" seems to be her motto. Until she learns to quit delaying her decisions, Paula is doomed to drift through life.

Answer 1

Paralyzed Patty most likely represents my weakness. I can never make decisions on my own and when I do I'm hesitant and always doubting what I have chosen. This will affect my job and my career because I will not be able to determine what profession I would not be able to choose my job. This can also lower my confidence a bunch. When you make your decisions you always feel proud and satisfied after choosing. You feel all the weight lift off your shoulders. If you don't make your decisions you will never be able to have that type of satisfaction which will make you lose your confidence. A way that I can change this bad habit is to stop worrying about failing something. Whenever you feel like that you pass the question to someone else. So I can stop feeling like I have to be scared of failing, so what, you have many tests in life but that doesn't mean you will pass all of them. Failure will always lead to success.
