<p>Hey, guys! Thank you so much for helping me.
I was so nervous because it was my first test :(
I recollected the memory and tried to write as close as I can.
(don't worry about the grammatical mistakes.)</p>
<p>Topic : Is it wise to be suspicious about other people's honesty or motives, even though they seem trustworthy?</p>
<p>My essay :</p>
<pre><code> While some may argue that it is wise to doubt about other’s motives and honesty, it is obviously true that doubt about other people may halt their progress. The examples of Charlie Parker Jr. and Thomas Edison lucidly demonstrate that it is not wise to doubt about one’s honesty and motives.
Charlie Parker Jr. was the most famous jazz saxophonist in the world. Parker started playing the saxophone at the age of eleven. He soon entered Lincoln Highschool, which was one of the finest conservatory schools. Parker soon became so pretentious and ostentatious that everyone condemned him. Also, when he played with Barnie’s Orchestra, Parker made tremendous mistake and ruined the entire performance. In respond to this abysmal situation, people started to doubt about Parker’s character, ability, and skill. However, Parker’s mentor Stephen Allen trusted Parker. He encouraged Parker to practice hardly. Parker practiced with all twelve keys while other musicians only did with three keys. The audience started to recognize Parker’s talent and helped him to play on the stage again. Parker soon regained his all renown back and became the most influential jazz saxophonist in the world. If Parker’s mentor did not trust Parker and encouraged him to practice even harder, Parker could not have such tremendous achievement.
Similar to the example of Charlie Parker, the example of Thomas Edison also verifies that it is not judicious to be suspicious about other people. Thomas Edison did not have successful childhood. Edison lost most of his hearing when he was twelve and had to quit the school. Edison moved to New Jersey to achieve his dream of being a scientist. However, the reality was harsh. No one wanted to hire Edison because Edison did not have any knowledge or skill about science. Finally, Dr.Clay hired Edison as an intern, and Edison worked under him for ten years. After ten years of internship, Edison could establish his own research lab. However, people felt jealous about him and started to doubt his honesty and motives. One day, one of the haters sat a fire on Edison’s lab and there was a huge conflagration. In respond to this, Edison said that “The fire also burned all my mistakes and failures. Thank you for giving me a new chance to start.” After this, Edison invented the light bulb, motion picture, voice recorder, and other great inventions. After this, people who doubted about Edison’s motives and honesty visited Edison and apologized for their doubt. If people did not doubt about Edison’s motives and honesty, Edison could have achieved even greater success.
The examples of Charlie Parker Jr. and Thomas Edison clearly illustrate that to doubt about one’s honesty, character, motives, skill, and others may halt one’s ultimate success.
