In last season my football club had a really hard match to play with the leading team in the league. Our chance of winning was not overwhelming. Even though no one (except us) believed in our team, we won. That moment made me aware of how the confidence can influence our lives. In a sport, self-assessment plays a huge role as well as in our everyday life. That's why it's important to be confident. It makes us believe in ourselves, overcomes fears, boundaries and obstacles - in a word, it leads us to success. However, it is important to know the difference between confidence and overconfidence. Being too self-assured can have a bad effect on our lives such as leading to unrealistic expectations, bad decisions and coming off as arrogant and disrespectful. The example of my match shows that confidence either can help with meeting goal or keep it back - when you are too confident.

When I was in the city centre, walking along the road, I noticed how many cars are on the streets. I realized that we are poisoning our planet more and more. I started thinking, how can we prevent the earth from pollution. Obviously, our daily life has a huge influence on a quality of everyone's lives. It's significant to remember to turn the tap off while brushing teeth or switch off the light when we do not need it. These small things help out planet recover. Also, a large number of cars in the world, which is gradually increasing, impact a pollution in the air. Instead of buying another car let's swap it with using public transport and bicycles. There are plenty of ideas, how to protect our planet. Small good deed for the earth will change our place for the better.   

After the holidays I made a resolution for the new school year - I get up at 5 o'clock and go to sleep earlier than I have been in recent years. This great change made me think, how replacing bad habits with good ones affect our lives. In my opinion, customs have a huge influence on a quality of our living. Therefore, it is really important to improve our lifestyles and try to break bad habits and substitute them with the good ones. Of course, changing bad customs requires a lot of motivation and patience. It is very hard to achieve it because of the force of habit, however, if you accustom yourself to this move, after some time it will become normal and automatic. It doesn't change only our lives but also ourselves - we become more organised and confident. By my personal example of the sleeping pattern, I can see that if we change our habits it will have a positive influence on our lifestyle. Additionally, either good and bad habits affect our pe...

Last month I helped my old neighbour out with carrying the bags to her home and then, a week later, a complete stranger chipped in with 5 zlotych to my food shopping when I didn't have enough money. These two situations made me think, whether good deeds return or not and if doing kind things is necessary in life.  In my opinion, kindness is a sort of thing that everyone should share with the others. If each person will be kind to another, the world will be getting better and better. Good deeds will always return then. There are many benefits to doing the right things such as simply helping someone but also it makes you a generous and moral person. Goodness improves the society as well.   In conclusion, I think that we should do good deeds for someone who we help, for ourselves and generally for the whole world. It is very important to share kindness - if you do, it will return one day.
