Question.3217 - Purpose: To analyze the causes and effects of a specific event in your life Topic: Your first kiss/first date/meeting your significant other for the first time
Answer Below:
Life of a person is made up of a series of events where all the events follow each other logically. These series of events carry something for us in disguise which we are not able to understand but in the due course of time, it can be discovered. Some people have a better understanding of these events and their causes and hence are more successful than those who blindly go with the flow of events. We can improve our understanding of the causes and effects by analyzing the most important events which occurred in our lives and then we can evaluate how different events changed the course of our lives for better or for worse and apply this knowledge to the future. Let me explain this with an example of my personal life, my first date. The memory of my first date brings about an unimaginable smile across my lips. It was the best experience of my life till date and a take-off point for several subsequent interesting dates. Jen was a beautiful girl in my class whom I used to like and I desperately wanted to get in touch with her and draw her attention towards me. It was not that I had not seen beautiful girls before but she was special, The most innocent, sweet and beautiful girl I had ever seen. Then, One day we were assigned a project in our class on which both I and Jen had to work together. That was the starting point of our relation and then, subsequently we exchanged numbers, started messaging each other and were in regular touch with each other. Both of us were dependent on each other completely for our studies, assignments, projects and academics, so much so, that we started seeking each other’s advice for our personal matters also. On, one of the Sundays, after our exams, I had nothing to do at home and I desperately wanted to ask her out for a movie. My heart was almost jumping out of my chest. How do I ask her? What do I say? What does she think of me? Does she like me or think I am funny? What if she doesn’t like my proposal and turns it down? All these thoughts were racing through my head. My hands were sweating and my legs were stiff. But, still somehow, I gathered my courage and picked up my cell and asked her “Can we go for a movie in the evening?” she replied that she doesn’t have much plans in the evening and could come out with me. I disconnected the cell and looked at the clock and realized that the time was flying by. I had to make elaborate arrangements for the evening and also get a special gift for her. I made all the arrangements in a jiffy and got ready quickly to pick her up on time. I reached her house at 5 and my heart started pounding when I realized that I was going to meet her parents. I rang the doorbell and she was standing there all dressed up to go along with me. Finally we both left for the movie in the car which I had specially arranged for her. We both sat silent in the car as if we both, the best of friends had nothing to speak of. Finally I broke the silence by saying that she is looking awesome today. She replied with a “Thank You” and suddenly became conscious of her looks. We reached the movie theatre and enjoyed the movie together. Thereafter, I had made special arrangements for a special dinner which was going to be surprise for her. I took her to the restaurant where a table was booked beside the swimming pool with the necessary decorations of red roses and red heart shaped balloons which she liked the most. She was overwhelmed when she got the surprise. I took her hand in mine and followed till the table. We both enjoyed the dinner and then came the special chocolate cake which I had ordered beforehand for her because the chocolate cake was her favorite. We finished the dinner and she thought that the date was over and got up to go. Then I said that the most important part of today’s outing was still left over and asked her to sit down. She sat down and I got a box out of my pocket. My heart was beating fast and prayers were doing rounds in my head. I opened the box and presented it to her. It was a “ring”. She instantly got furious on seeing the ring and got up to go away. I told her that I loved her from the core of my heart but she did not listen to anything and just rushed out of the place. For two days, I had sent her several messages and had called her several times to say that I was sorry. But, she neither picked up my phone calls nor did she respond to my messages. Then, on the third day she responded back that she liked me too but wanted some time to think about the proposal and to prepare herself mentally before starting any sort of relationship. I was relieved on receiving a response from her side. The date although ended with a bitter taste but was a lesson of a life time. According to me, the most important part of the whole experience was the lesson which I learnt at the last that we should always give some time to our partners to give a thought about what they like and what they want, so that they can get mentally prepared. Expecting a person to take such a big decision of their life in a smallest of a second is something like fooling our own selves. There is an old saying that “If you love something, let go of it”. If it is yours, it will definitely come back to you, otherwise not. Initially I did not follow this principle and regretted it later. But, the most happening part of the whole incident was that, although later, but she accepted my proposal and I did not lose her because of my foolishness. Most people usually think about cause and effect of any situation, either positive or negative, only in their day to day events and tend to omit the analysis of significant things which happens occasionally. But these special events hold a significant place in all our lives which helps develop a better understanding of the similar situation in future and make us more responsible and attentive.More Articles From English
