Everyone has encountered this proverbial saying at one point in time or at least some alteration of it such as "follow your heart," or "trust your gut," but doing the "right" thing, whatever it may be, has always been easier said than done. Power, a popular TV series produced by Curtis Jackson, more commonly known as 50 Cent, reveals this in a complex storyline that outlines what many people struggle with, doing what they perceive to be morally good or justified or doing something else because they are being influenced by institutional restraints and/or power dynamics. The consequences and perils of power, ranging from institutions to people themselves, are told in a captivating and meaningful story centered around the
As the Roman poet Horace once said, "adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant." In other words, he believed that challenges are beneficial because they bring out talents that would have stayed hidden otherwise. He thought that adversity would force a person to use their unknown talents out of desperation. Some argue that his theory is irrelevant and that a person 's skills will develop just as well without adversity if they have the capacity, but I believe that hardships will evoke and improve on their dormant talents.

Or when you’re in the middle of a conversation, and the gulping of water interrupts your discussion. Next, a pet peeve of mine is not having a clean room.
Surely we can see there being many disadvantages with acting impulsively such as Macbeth did when he murdered Macduff’s family and servants but there are also many advantages to acting impulsively as well. When we as humans act impulsively we act solely based on our truest emotions and deepest beliefs. The reason I say this is because if we always calculate every action we take we may not make the proper decision in time, an example of such would be when the twenty four year old marine known as Kyle Carpenter jumped on a live grenade to protect his colleague and fellow patriot without thinking about the possible dangers of losing limbs or even his life. Luckily they both survived, but without this impulsive act of courage to save someone else’s
