...have been many moments in my life that I can say that I am not proud of, but we learn from own mistakes. Nobody is perfect and we are going to keep making mistakes in life. We learn from our mistakes to make better choices in life. There was a moment in my life that I had to make a decision regarding my friend and my job. I worked at a retail store with a friend of mine; we went to high school together, and hung out from time to time. It was about 3 months into the job and she started to steal money from the register, and some merchandise from the store. This came back to both of us because we was responsible for closing and making sure our register had a certain amount plus the end of the day receipts was not adding up. So, I had to have a meeting with the store manager, and some corporate people of the company; because they were trying to fire me, and have me arrested. My job and work ethics was at stake, and the factor that I had to consider was how I am going to explain this to my landlord for not paying my rent. I had to make a decision to tell what really happened or take the fall for something I didn’t do. So, I told the truth my friend was fired and they didn’t press charges because she admitted to the crimes. This was a hard decision to make, but at the time I just moved on my own with my son, and fiancé. The outcome was me continuing my job while being harassed for about a month by my ex-friend. Time passed and I still had my dignity and my...

...been carved out your entire life. But really, who are you? Well, you’re you. There are many people that may share similarities to who you are, but no one can be exactly who you are. But why is that? It’s because you’re unique. Every moment, experience, mistake, and rollercoaster you’ve been on is what makes you who you are. Why? It’s because you made it this way. Your entire life is dictated on how you want to live it, how you’re influenced, and why you feel the way you do. You are self-taught how to be your own personal teacher. Some may think it’s selfish to say I am my own best teacher, but really is it? I don’t think so, and I’ll tell you why. My entire life, I have mostly had to fend for myself. I grew up poor, sometimes homeless, and even moreso clueless in what I needed to do. I was a kid growing up in a grown up world. I had responsibilities at the age of 10 that some people don’t even have at the age of 30. I had people who were depending on me to be so much more than just a child. At the age of 13, I had a job. I worked to help provide rent and food. I didn’t want to work, but I needed to. Life taught me at a very young age that there are things we want to do, and there are things we need to do. It’s never a good idea to mix the two ideals. On a professional level, I found out at a young age what it mean’t to be a hard-worker. I taught myself how to work, deal with others, and even tolerate doing things I didn’t want to do, but still set my mind to do it anyways. ...

...human works alone, was being denied by Jewish missionaries trying to de-authenticate Paul’s teachings. Paul learned of this, and wrote his defense of the apostolic authority and of the correct understanding of the faith. Galatians 2 and 3 are a portion of Paul’s epistles to the churches of Galatia. Chapter 2 begins by acknowledging the people’s perseverance, but remarks on how far they have fallen. Chapter 3 focuses on the application of their faith. This book also encourages the Galatians to have faith in God, no matter the circumstances, and to always show their love for Him through their actions. As...

...Seven seconds down by 2. This crucial game between Silver Creek and Del Mar had come right down to the wire. “The shot is all yours, good luck,” said my Coach. I was ready. They call it “rising to the occasion” because the pressure of the team is on you. We broke out of the huddle and the crowd let out a loud cheer that rippled through my ears. My hands were sweaty, tense from the mounting pressure of the situation. These are the moments you play for I thought to myself. I inbounded the ball to my point guard Kyle and took a quick glance at the clock, noticing that we had 5 seconds remaining. I dashed to the 3-point line ready to catch and shoot like I had played it out in my head. I received a pass right where I needed it to be in order...

... These ideas can be good or bad but either way it affects how we act towards people and ourselves. In some cases we have to take a step back and analyze the reasons why we act the way we do. There are ways we can do this by writing how we feel down, having someone analyze us, or taking surveys. The LSI survey is a way we can see where we fit in amongst other individuals. This survey helps assess our personality characteristics and other traits according to how we interact in society. I took the survey to see where my personality traits rate with other people. I will go over the results and how a person can learn and change from them. The LSI survey is a circle that is broken in many parts. There are 3 areas that the circle is broken into which are satisfaction needs, task orientation, and security needs. The primary part is the satisfaction needs whereas the backup tells you what causes these traits. When it comes to the scoring of the survey I had my highest in the constructive styles 1, 2, 11, and 12. These help with self-enhancing thinking and behavior that causes satisfaction. Number 1 is the humanistic encouraging The Humanistic-Encouraging scale measures our interest in people, our tendency to care about others, and our ability to encourage them to improve. Humanistic-Encouraging people are accepting of themselves, and accept others for who they are without any issues. I believe I am definitely like this because I am not a judgmental person. Number 2 is the affiliate...

...consequently, otherwise, as a result. Error #2: Pronoun Errors Pronoun errors occur when pronouns do not agree in number with the nouns to which they refer. If the noun is singular, the pronoun must be singular. If the noun is plural, however, the pronoun must be plural as well. For example: * Incorrect: Everybody must bring their own lunch. * Correct: Everybody must bring his or her own lunch. Many people believe that pronoun errors are the result of writers who are trying to avoid the implication of sexist language. Although this is an admirable goal, correct grammar is still important. Error #3: Mistakes in Apostrophe Usage Apostrophes are used to show possession. However, you do not use an apostrophe after a possessive pronoun such as my, mine, our, ours, his, hers, its, their, or theirs. For example: * Incorrect: My mothers cabin is next to his' cabin. * Correct: My mother's cabin is next to his cabin. Error #4: Lack of Subject/Verb Agreement When speaking or writing in the present tense, a sentence must...

...explains my most fundamental life principles that apply to everything I do. Part 3, explains my management principles as they are being lived out at Bridgewater. Since my management principles are simply my most fundamental life principles applied to management, reading Part 2 will help you to better understand Part 3, but it’s not required—you can go directly to Part 3 to see what my management principles are and how Bridgewater has been run. One day I’d like to write a Part 4 on my investment principles. If you are looking to get the most bang for your buck (i.e., understanding for the effort), I suggest that you read Parts 1 and 2, and the beginning of Part 3 (through the Summary and Table of Principles) which will give you nearly the whole picture. It’s only about 55 pages of a normal size book. Above all else, I want you to think for yourself—to decide 1) what you want, 2) what is true and 3) what to do about it. I want you to do that in a clear-headed thoughtful way, so that you get what you want. I wrote this book to help you do that. I am going to ask only two things of you—1) that you be open-minded and 2) that you honestly answer some questions about what you want, what is true and what you want to do about it. If you do these things, I believe that you will get a lot out of this book. If you can’t do these things, you should reflect on why that is, because you probably have discovered one of your greatest impediments to getting what you want out of life. ...

Introduction: Motivation of this paper “Comfort zone” was the first word that came into my mind when I was thinking about the topic of my paper, because I know I am the one who always want to stay in my comfort zones, which may impede my way to become a good leader or a successful person. So, I need to step out of my comfort zones on purpose once in a while, to improve my leadership skills and interpersonal skills. To finish this paper, first, I conducted a wide range of research on internet about “comfort zones” and “leadership”, finding that a lot of people shared the same feeling with me and there are plenty of articles in this specific area. I’ve learned a lot from the literature review stage, and knew more about how the “comfort zones” formed and its impacts. Then I reflected to some real life experiences of myself, further understood the reason why I would like to stay in my comfort zones and the importance to step out to become a good leader. After the reflection, I came up a plan of how to develop myself in leadership, with the very first step to get of my comfort zones consciously. 3.

...change? 林怡廷 (Joyce Lin) 三年十八班 台北市立育成高級中學 1 PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com The difference between Western and Eastern education. I. Introduction: People tend to think that Westerners are more assertive and creative, while Easterners are more conservative and reserved. So what makes all these difference? I would suggest it is the result of the different education systems. Having studied under both foreign and local teachers, I discovered that their approaches to teaching are fundamentally different. In this essay, I would like to examine and evaluate these differences. This is vitally important as it influences our choices and responses in life beyond school. And will finally determine our values, the quality of our lives and the satisfaction we derive from life. II. Thesis: A. Teacher-centered and student-centered I would say that the prime difference between the two education systems is that one uses teacher-centered classes, and the other uses student-centered classes. In the Eastern education system, the teacher is the only authority; his or her words are not to be questioned. Students are not expected to speak up in class or respond to the questions that the teacher asks. Therefore, most of the questions are rather rhetorical. Questions are brought up for the teachers to answer. Thus, there is no motivation for the students to be active. This leads to a very unusually phenomenon, the students sleeping in class. Students of the Western...
