Brooks and Graham


What I gain from the conversation from Brooks and Graham is that, the two articles from Brooks is that he talks about the fear of worry and the other he talks about our generation. Also, the other part is Barbara Graham talks about how she was addicted to quitting. But what gained form it is that do not worry about things it will lead to stress and if you keep quitting you will have to start all over again.

            The most interesting connection for me, is Barbara Graham’s article. Because I used to quit a lot and try to find another idea to move on. But later I learned, I had to stick with it and I did. I will tell you, I had a project due the next day and if I did not finish it I would had failed the class. I said in my mind just forget about it you are going to fail anyways, but I learned if I did that I would graduate either. So, I did it and passed. Barbara Graham’s has its similarities with mine too, she quit and move places to places and could not stop until she was happy. But she had a son a she learned that she would have to for her son, like any mother would do no matter how bad her emotions and life were. At least she got it done and did I.

            What was interesting to me from all three articles is “The Epidemic of Worry”, he talks about anxiety and how the election is a major factor in it. Because anxiety has been destructive character on the nation stage. We hear things that gives us fear for America and the World. What Donald Trump says give worry about mass deportation and wanting to build a wall, even though there is already one built if you see it. Also, Hillary Clinton’s email are threat to this country, we do not was in them they could be recipes or nuclear plans. The interest for me is that David Brooks says Hakuna Matata. We can have no worries let things go by and see which one can do good job on America.

            While discussing this my peers helped through this article, because I did not even know some of these words in the article. I was like what are these words coming form, but I understand now since we did all the time now.
