As William Arthur Ward once said, " When we seek to dicover the best in others, we somehow bring the best in ourselves." My best brings out the best in others in many ways. First of all, I need to be able to have a positive attitude and act in a way in which others will look up to. If I walk around being rude or mean to others, no one will be motivated or encouraged to do their best. I will also talk about how my best brings out the best in others while playing on sports teams and how it relates to me as a Catholic. I personally do not understand why you would want to be sad or angry on purpose. Doing this has never worked out in my favor, so I do not see a purpose in acting upset.

Doing your best while playing sports can affect an individual in many ways. Like in many other situations, I could push myself to the limit and someone will most likely want to play as good as me. If something like this happens, a player on the team will most likely not play lazily. While doing my best while I am playing a sport, others can notice flaws in their performance. This will make that person want to improve, therefore making a better sports team. In situations like these, other people could also see you as a role model. A role model is someone who sets guidelines that will teach them how to become a better person. In my opinion, becomeing a role model for others while playing sports is an incredible honor because it shows how much someone wants to have the athletic ability that you have.

One of the most important things that I learned as a Catholic was to not let anyone or anything influence my decisions and my beliefs. I started to think deeper into this and I came across the thought of how younger kids want to be exactly like the bigger kids. In some cases, the bigger kids could be bad influences and I thought about how some kids should try to keep doing their best and how they should not try to act like a bad teenager. I then realized that some people act in a way in which they do not want to do their best because they have been influenced. Even though it might not be easy, I believe that people should not try to become something that will stop them from working to their full potential.

I do not believe that deliberatly being mean or upset will ever work out in any problem. If I am mean towards someone, that same person may become rude also. Just like how my best rubs off on others, my worst can end up encouraging other people to be bad. If I were to be in a boring and upsetting state, that same mood can spread to other individuals. And in the end, you will have an entire community that does not have enough self-esteem and the motivation to be able to strive to do their best. I do not think that being upset should be a type of behavior that is encouraged because in the end, it will only create more hate. But instead if I encourage individuals to put as much effort as possible into everything and do it while maintaining a positive attitude, our community will rarely have a bad mood.

My best brings out the best in others in many different ways. Some of my favourite ways of doing that are through playing sports, my personality, and reminding others that you can overcome a bad mood. I can also continue to do my best as long as I practice and perfect it. I have had many experiences where my best has brought out the best in others, and I have also been on the receiving end. And I know that it is an amazing thing that everyone should experience at least once in a persons life.
