...person is Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein once said Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.This is my topic for today. What does it mean Try not to become a man of success but rather a man of value? Well, becoming someone of success is only a fraction of the bigger picture. Success can not be placed on a scale and weighed by any factors in your life nor can it be judged by the accomplishments you have tackled. Therefore, the word success becomes truly what it is, just a word. The dictionary defines the word success as one that succeeds but succeeds at what? Succeeds at meeting his goals or succeeds at life? If you think that becoming successful is reaching the goals you have set for yourself and you are constantly setting goals to better improve your lifestyle, your health, your future; then let me ask you this. If you have succeeded in obtaining your goals and you continue to set new goals to make you and your family life better, how can you be a success if you have yet to succeed with your new goals? There is actually an answer to this and Albert Einstein figured it out decades ago. Become someone of value. Let's look at that closer. Become someone of value. What does that mean? What is the difference between becoming a man of success and becoming a man of value? Success is about what you have earned and value is about what you can offer from what you have earned. Becoming someone of value represents a much larger and more important part of...

...is the view of family life gradually improving for all its members, becoming more equal and democratic. This view on family life was introduced by Young and Willmott in 1973 and they suggest that the modern family is moving away from the segregated conjugal role of the man going to work as the bread winner for the family and the woman to stay a home as the house wife and more towards the joint conjugal role where man and wife share tasks equally and spend leisure time with each other. Wilmott and Young describe this as the family becoming more symmetrical or becoming the symmetrical family. This is due to the fact that women go to work in families now and it is not just the man working to provide for the family. This supports the view suggesting that the family is growing more equal as back in the 1900’s women would have been expected to stay at home and take care of the housework, the children and care for the man also. There would vary rarely have been a working women In a family during the 1900’s. However this is where the women nowadays go to work and earn money to contribute to the family and to keep more money for her so she can have money to spend on her self. This obviously shows a movement away from gender inequality and boosts the role of the woman in the family. There are many other factors suggesting that the symmetrical family exists nowadays such as th involvement and idea of the new man. The view contrasting this is the feminist view of Anne Oakley who criticises...

...English Essay Just like that – by Michael Richards The story takes place in Australia, where a man drives a boy to the outback to shoot kangaroos. The boy is actually a quite nice shot, but the boy dislikes the situation more and more, as the number of killed kangaroos rises. Finally, the boy spots a male kangaroo, he shots the animal and feels like a man, but he also feels regret. There are only two characters in this short story; we have the boy and the man. The boy is the essential character, and the one we follow throughout the entire story and the man is merely a sort of guide (page 1 line 1 – 9). The man could very easily be the boy’s father, but since he is not mentioned as “the father”, he could also very easily be a man, who the boy shares a bond with. The boy is in his youth and is actually on his way to becoming a man, which he also does at the end (page 4 line 16 – 19), while the man is probably somewhere between 35 -45, since he is still in shape to hunt (page 1 line 16 – 19), but he is still old enough to provide some sort of guidance. The boy relies on the man to help him execute the mortally wounded kangaroos (page 3 line 25 – 30), but the man does not seem to gain anything from this arrangement, besides that I might be his duty to see to it, that the boy completes this rite of passage. The environment is pretty typical for any random outback in Australia; we have kangaroos (page 3 line 12), the temperature is high, the trees...

...of her own. Throughout the novel, one uncovers the struggle Sara overcomes, the “real” person she eventually is, and how she ultimately succeeds in becoming an American. Sara is seeking for a better life without her father and attempts to find her true identity in several ways. For example, Sara finds the room she wants to rent on her own and is the basis of her new independent life. ”This door was life. It was air. The bottom starting-point of becoming a person. I simply must have this room with the shut door.”(158-159). After Sara enters the door; she feels that she can now truly begin to identify herself and exemplifies her financial freedom. She can now study for an education that will help her reach the goal of employment as a teacher. This room also gives Sara a small glimpse of her goal. As Ms. Smolinsky said in America only the rich can afford privacy. Sara truly appreciates her new taste of the American dream and can now look forward to reaching the goal of a teacher. If Sara had stayed living with Reb and Ms. Smolinsky, she would have gotten nowhere towards her goal and remained the same she had grown up to—a mere image of her father. Sara dreams about how good of a time she would have, but finds herself desperately searching for someone to talk to, which proves that she has yet to completely reach the goal of becoming an American. For Sara, the feeling and accomplishment of living on her own is an achievement of her own identity. As a child the girls were always confined...

...Why God because man Lehman Strauss demonstrated how the incarnation does not occur in the Bible, but is an important part of God becoming flesh(man). Dr. Strauss use voluntary act of the Son of God, which he assumed into a human body. In this article God became human flesh to comprehend and apprehend the nature of man, to show his deity. Many have their different views of the human in of God; but He suffer and died for own sins. Dr. Strauss was very clear about the view and arguments. [1] Like, John 1:14 " In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was God." Other like, Ceranthus was docetism claiming they Lord had only an apparent human body. Meaning He had real flesh" the word became flesh. Dr. Strauss gave us reason to believe that the union of the nature in Christ. Seven nature in His incarnation. "He made Him of no reputation ", " He took upon Him the form of a servant", " He was made in the likeness of man" this was the full reality of his humanity ", "And being found in fashion as a man", " He humble Himself", "He became obedient unto death ", and even the death of the cross did not stop Him from the taking of all our sins to the cross. Self-emptying of Christ meant being with God, taking the forms of a servant, being in the likeness and fashion. Humbling yourself, becoming obedient even unto death. Showing how God became Man form was a clear point that the author had and kept focus on God and his deity and incarnation. Personal conclusion...

...written by, Baldesar Castiglione, The Courtier helps define exactly what this social class consisted of. This book highlights many of the areas in which one would need to excel at to be considered better than an average man, and on his way to becoming a courtier. The main idea that being a courtier stems from is that of a universal man, or known during the Renaissance, “unos universal”. This was the idea of a man who was able to be proficient in activities across the board including math, sports, music, looks and so forth. Throughout, The Courtier two men discuss and argue what exactly it means to be a courtier. Through this discussion they are creating a broad set of guidelines to teach others how to be a courtier, and a gentlemen of Rome. I think that through the entirety of this book the main message that Castiglione is trying to get across is what exactly does it take to become a courtier. Throughout the book there are countless instances where it has specific guidelines as to what it means to be a courtier. “But to come to some particulars: … true profession of the Courtier must be that of arms” (Castiglione 24). This is one instance in the book where it gives a particular aspect of what it takes to be a courtier. However, as is the theme of the book the other man discussing this topic has an opposite view of the main profession of a courtier, “I would have our Courtier descend sometimes to quieter and more peaceful exercises” (Castiglione 29). These more peaceful aspects of...

...The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare tells of a man who is driven by ambition, greed, and equivocations which leads to his own demise. Many times through the play, equivocations are spoken to evade the truth and deceive the listener. A prime example of those who speak equivocations are the three witches. The three witches constantly visit Macbeth and tell him of his fate through rhyme and ambiguous language rather than tell Macbeth exactly what his fate entails. As Macbeth is lured by the fate that these witches speak, he is deluded of the truth about what will occur. Fueled by his current ambitions and greed for power and promotion, Macbeth looks forward to his destiny, to become king of Scotland, with feelings of positivity. However,...

...Forming a Lifelong Bond In late 2009, I had a chance encounter with a man at a local restaurant while out to lunch with a close friend. I approached him based strictly on his good looks. After a brief introduction, I left him my phone number. He called that night, and from that point on, my life has been forever changed. It turns out that this man is a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. In 2009, he had been sober for 6 years. He felt it his duty to pay society back by coming a volunteer at a local homeless shelter that serves women and children who are homeless due to various circumstances. Initially, I thought to myself, I better steer clear of this man. But being the optimist that I am, I began to interact with him daily. I told him I was a nurse who had worked many years as a Hospice nurse and often worked with the indigent. He asked if I would come and work as a volunteer nurse at the shelter, providing brief health assessments and patient education. I was a little hesitant, but after some persuasion, agreed to operate a trial clinic one night a week. I was introduced to the Director of Admissions, Maggie, prior to starting. She, herself, had been homeless at one time. Once she was able to rebuild her life, she felt compelled to help others in which she shared common ground with. Prior to becoming a nurse, I was a 16-year-old mother with poor family support. Though I was never homeless, I was hopeless at times, just like these women within the shelter. Soon after meeting...

...The Transformation From a Boy to a Man In the epic poem, Odyssey by Homer, Telemachus matures from a boy to a man. At first, Telemachus is viewed as a weak little boy. He is considered a coward and a crybaby. Throughout the book Telemachus begins to age and mature and realizes he has a legacy to fulfill. He can no longer be the weakling who let everyone run over him. Telemachus is always on the side of the elders and because of this he is able to grow and implement their characteristics. As the poem progressed, Telemachus was soon referred to as Odysseus’ son, which was an honor because his father was considered such a hero. Later Telemachus was called by Telemachus, his own name excelling beyond his father, becoming a great and powerful man. Due to his lack of power at the start of the poem, Telemachus is referred to as weak and a coward. Originally he isn’t able to kick out the suitors due to his lack of strength and confidence. As a result of his lack of a backbone, the suitors take advantage of his hospitality and begin to eat him out of house and home. While Athena is trying to give him strength, she says, He prayed, and Athena was with him Looking just like Mentor with Mentor’s voice. Her words flew on Telemachus on wings: “You won’t turn out to be a fool or a coward Telemachus, not if any of Odysseus’ spirit Has been instilled in you.”(2.290-295) This proved that he was a child in the beginning who needed to grow.
