Playing the victim in various situations is anything but difficult. Victims have a tendency to sit back and watch their lives fall apart. A victim is someone who blames others who foresee defeat and also gives up. For example, in the article “Do you think like a victim or a creator,” “what the first student had said – “it wasn't my fault, it was the library's fault” – was actually true. However, it did not help his cause. In the end, he didn't achieve his goal (getting the book).” (David Marman) This person belongs to a victim because he made a false statement that cannot achieve his goal. Being a creator can also be difficult, but it allows you to change the direction your life is going. A creator asks questions about how to achieve their goals, thinks positively and seeks a better choice. For example, in the item “Do you think like a victim or a creator,” “the second student did not ask “Whose fault is it that I don't have the book?” but instead asked “What can I do to get the text of which do I need?". When her first answer didn't get her to her goal, she asked the question again and again, until she finally reached her goal. (David Marman) This person belonged to a creator because he thought of ways to achieve his goal instead of blaming others for the situation. The idea of ​​the creator and the victim was coined by Dr. Skip Downing. If you think like a creator, you can succeed in anything. If I think like a creator, I can achieve my goals successful in college, as well as successful in life. My mother is someone I consider a victim since the beginning of the school year; my assistant principal, Mrs. Rungee, has informed me and my parents to fill out my financial aid .Financing... half the paper... not to be had when achieving success in life. I've learned to really think deeply about the issues or problems that I have. Everyone can be successful using the creator role. I believe that if someone attended college they should adopt college success strategies because it helped me become the positive person I am today. For me, being a creator, has had a great impact on me and my inspiration in life. Works Cited Mirman, Davis. Do you think like a Victim or a Creator?. You Are the Prime Mover, 2012.
