Identity Scripts_Question 3

When I read through chapter 2, it highlighted “identity scripts”, as one of the “self” that arises during communication with others, and choose to discuss about it. Looking at the definition the book gave, it says, identity scripts can be view as a movie scripts or a play script which means, a rule for living and identity. It also says it defines our roles as individual. Growing up as child, in my parents’ home, one of the key phrases I always hear my parent says to me was, “education is the key to success in life”. Even though that was true, being an adult, I found out that statement was not always true. Looking at most of the great achievers of our time, like Bill Gate, Zack (face book CEO), and Einstein, a great whole lot of others I can’t mention, they were at one point in their lives, a drop out from either high school or college, but they didn’t just stop there, they have to discover who they are and what they are passionate for in other to be the best in life. I guess they had someone dear or close to them, like a family, who would have told them to finish their education to be notable and be of relevance to their society. Drawing out from what the book also said, “Many psychologist believe that the basic identity scripts for our lives are formed very early, probably at age 5”, that means to say words are powerful; whatever we say can only generate two results in people’s lives, a good result or bad result.
