...There are 12 months a year...30 days a month...7 days a week...24 hours a day...60 minutes an hour...but only one like you in a lifetime. There are two reasons why I wake up in the morning: my alarm clock and you. Great minds contain ideas, solutions and reasons; scientific minds contain formulas, theories and figures; my mind contains only you! Love can be expressed in many ways. One way I know is to send it across the distance to the person who is reading this. If I could change the alphabet, I would put U and I together! Minsan caring is better than loving. Minsan tea is better than coffee. Minsan smile is better than laughter. Pero nobody is better than you. There is night so we can appreciate day, sorrow so we can appreciate joy, evil so we can appreciate good, you so I can appreciate love. You look great today. How did I know? Because you look great everyday. What is love? Those who don't like it call it responsibility. Those who play with it call it a game. Those who don't have it call it a dream. Those who understand it call it destiny. And me, I call it you. What is love? It is what makes your cell phone ring every time I send text messages. If love can be avoided by simply closing our eyes, then I wouldn't blink at all for I don't want to let a second pass having fallen out of love with you. I used to think that dreams do not come true, but this quickly changed the moment I laid my eyes on you. Press down if you miss me. Talaga...

...is light-skinned. Why? They want someone who is pretty and can bring more people to the company. The company thinks women who is light-skinned are pretty. A light-skinned woman have nice long hair, make-up is flawless, nails is well kept, clothes are the latest business suits. The woman might not have all of the qualifications but she will learn the ropes of the business. So they hired her and to top if off her salary is the highest and comes with a nice package. In back in the bosses mind he hopes that she can catch on quick, but he will show her off to all his business partners. Now will a dark-skinned woman, who have all the qualifications they will not hired her, because the company does not see her pretty enough. They see a dark-skinned woman as greasy, nappy hair, and ghetto, and that’s to get to the point. This beautiful lady that the company will not hired, will have been a great asset to the company. The lady would have given 110% of her time, and even had ideas on how to make the company grow, she wouldn’t be concern about when is pay day and how long is her lunch so she could go the nail shop. Some women have a hard time dating, because some men will not date a woman who is dark-skinned. I think some men just want a pretty girl on his arm. They don’t even care about her just show her a good time. Some of these women might have low self esteem and really don’t care how the man treats her just as long he keep her happy with all the gifts. If a man feels...

...our own personalities and ways to improve upon them. Upon the findings of my LSI self description a few strengths were discovered along with a few weaknesses. Based on the survey that was taken the highest scored areas were affiliative, self actualizing and humanistic-encouraging. However the areas that were scored the lowest were approval, avoidance, and dependent. The highest I scored is a 93 on affiliative leadership style. This falls on the 2:00 mark of the model. This type of leadership style promotes harmony among his or her followers and helps solve any conflict issues. This type of leader also builds teams and make sure that their followers fell connected to each other. And I tend to praise my followers, however my poor performances tend to go unchecked. The next one I scored high on is conventional, this falls on the 4:00 mark on the model. On the conventional side of me, I tend to be very respectful of others. I do however like to be recognized by my superiors for my hard work. I avoid conflict because I don’t like chaos. I love to suggest new ideas to see if things could go a lot smoother for others. Another high point was that I scored high on the self actualization 12:00 slot of the model. I consider myself to be respected and well thought of when it comes to people I know. I am self respected, optimistic and realistic when it comes to my work. Sometimes I like responsibility and I tend to get relaxed and confident when I am tasked with a lot of work. I consider...

...because of an injury, poor play or misconduct. There has been controversy that student athletes should be paid. How does one determine who should be paid, how much and where does this money come from? Athletes are amateurs who should concentrate on their education. How does one determine if an athlete is an amateur or a professional? An amateur is one who cannot receive money in the form of salaries or endorsements. They play a sport for the love and desire of it. A professional on the other hand gets paid a salary or money for endorsements. Professionals are also more skilled and concentrate one hundred percent on their sport. Amateurs do not have the time to only commit to a sport since they have to attend classes or work to support themselves. If student Athletes did get paid, college sports would lose their competitive hype. Let’s look at football on a college level compared to the pros. Athletes playing on a college level (amateur) give every play their all trying to do whatever it takes to win with hopes of someday be picked to go pro. Pro football players on the other hand, do not give every play one hundred percent. They are afraid of being hurt and know regardless of the game’s outcome they will still get paid. What if the athlete does not make it to the professional level? These student athletes need to make sure they have an education they can fall back on. These student athletes are students first before the athlete. In the classroom, they are students just like...

...Company Orientation Towards the Marketplace Victoria’s Secret. It’s probably not the company name you were expecting to read about when you picked up this paper. While it may not come right out and scream “something for everyone” it really does appeal to almost all. Women love the lingerie, beauty products and other apparel. Teenage girls are drawn to the trendy PINK line. While men will begrudgingly walk into a store with their significant other or make an extremely quick trip in for a gift card at Christmas, they’ll be the first to check out the wife’s catalog when it arrives in the mail. When I first started thinking about using Victoria’s Secret as an example, I was sure I was going to be writing about how they fall into the marketing concept. The television ads with beauty queens, catalogs, online store and annual runway show all screamed write about how they market to attract customers. As I re-read the chapter though, one line grabbed my attention. “The job is to not find the right customers for your products, but the right products for your customers”. In Victoria’s Secret, products they have aplenty. I’ve had a long-term relationship with Victoria’s Secret. I remember as a little girl going into the English boudoir style stores with my mom on shopping trips. I flipped through the catalog when it arrived in the mail thinking supermodels like Helena Christensen were the most beautiful women on the planet and who I wanted to be like when I grew up...

...looking for the next place to kick up his heels and hang loose. He entertains friends and strangers alike with his humor and appeal. Years of the Horse Horse Years are seventh in the cycle, following the Snake Years, and recur every twelfth year. The Chinese New Year does not fall on a specific date, so it is essential to check the calendar to find the exact date on which each Horse Year actually begins. 1906*1918*1930*1942*1954*1966*1978*1990*2002 THE SIGN OF THE HORSE Horse people are extemporaneous and quick-witted. They are quite intelligent and use their practicality to their advantage in their businessand personal lives. Their sharpness makes them quick to pick up new skills and are able to handle many tasks at one time. However, this ambition can be harmful because Horse people often don’t finish what they start for fear of missing out on the next big challenge. Horses are trustworthy, friendly and open-minded. They are good friends to have and will always be honest with you. Although they are good confidants, Horse people do enjoy their alone time and are usually independent people. They can struggle with obstinance and self-centeredness, which can lead to a flare of the temper if they don’t get their way. Usually, after an episode or temper-tantrum a Horse can feel remorse, yet not all people will be able to forgive their reaction. HORSE FACTS: People born in the Year of the Horse share certain characteristics. The Horse Sign is an abbreviated way of characterizing...

There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them. We aren’t supposed to be able to instantly solve problems. That’s not how we’re made. In fact, we’re made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall. Because that’s the whole purpose of living – to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time. This is what ultimately molds us into the person we become. #3. Stop lying to yourself. – You can lie to anyone else in the world, but you can’t lie to yourself. Our lives improve only when we take chances, and the first and most difficult chance we can take is to be honest with ourselves. aberrantbeauty.tumblr.com #4. Stop putting your own needs on the back burner. – The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.

...Abstract If one takes a stroll down a metropolitan city, one is sure to see women carrying handbags worth quite a few thousand dollars or men driving the most lavish of cars. Present day society consists of a consumerist world that is constantly seeking validation through material items, affirmations, or any outside entity that does not fulfill the soul. Instead, the possession of these sought out desires creates fleeing feelings of satisfaction that fulfills the ego temporarily. This feeling of greed then controls the entire mind, and every action thereafter is an effect of the sin. Unfortunately, the consistent cycle of the desire for greed is due to society persistently marketing to people through the “biggest and best” product advertisements, social media, etc. The unpleasant feeling of never having enough is a feeling so common; society does not condemn it. It rather provides a by-the-minute news outlet and feeds its users through creations such as “news feeds”, renewing the cycle daily. It is through the use of constant streaming at the touch of a button that greed has become a sin that effects so much of the population. Once one allows for greed to consume them, one permits for his or her body to become the feeding ground upon which all other sins will engulf. Thesis: Greed is the tree that stems into all other branches of the deadly sins, as the desire and need to acquire someone else’s possessions or situations can create feelings of gluttony, envy, anger, lust...

...Executive Management Module 1 February 14, 2014 Highlight the management theories or principles of each reading Understanding and Using the Best-Sellers This chapter discusses the books that have been on high demand for focusing on different aspects of management. The first reason why the books have been successful is for the tremendous thirst for American success and a desire to learn what would stop some of the negative incidents. The second reason is fighting for the visibility and way to be different from other managements. This is to provide a message to take home that is positive, unique and also able to gain wide exposure. The third reason is being able to provide a hopeful message to a receptive market. The message helps business create an easy path to personal success. The fourth reason is an increased principle in commitment to proactive organizational change and a search for differentiating one’s approach. In order to find a book that is a good fit you must look at the pros and cons of each book. There are several areas the author wants you to review. A few includes author credentials, rationale, face validity and target organizations. Flawed Advice and the Management Trap Argyris talks about how people receive and accept advice that is basically flawed. He uses two modules to explain where the flaws exist. Module I behavior is focused on protecting oneself and having a biased view of everyone. Protectionism and defensiveness are the bases for the behavior. Module...

...I find the smell of fresh fabric one of the most intoxicating and wonderful smells in the world. It's almost as euphoric as the smell of cookies and cream ice cream, but can't hold a candle to the the smell of a brand new book (which, by the way, is my favorite scent in the world). To be completely honest, I don't know what makes me love the scent of crisply ironed cotton or satin. But if I could guess, I would infer that it comes from the association to fabric stores and memories of walking into one. When I was younger, and still now, it was a mix of the vibrant colors, the possibilities behind each, and aroma given off. I can't honestly say that my love of sewing is a love that "has been there for as long as I can remember." In fact, I can date the start of my...

...The View of College Students on Love Abstract Love has been the noticeable problem of college students in modern times. The sense of loneliness and freedom of living in different places lead the college students to fall in love in an earlier age. These years, with the invasion of western sexual liberalism, our sense of morality has been faced with big challenges. At the same time, free access to the Internet causes misunderstanding and wrong realization on love, which lead them to get lost in it. This paper introduces an investigation on the theme in detail. Key Words college students; love; view; research; Analysis of the problems 1. Respondent part We uploaded our questions to a Questionnaire website, then sent messages to our middle school friends and college mates to request for filling it out.

...to be “translated from the original manuscript”. Adam’s diary begins with his encounter with Eve, that irritating, way too talkative creature with a tendency to name things, following him around. Eve is changing the sights of Eden, that she alas baptized “Niagara falls Park”(Twain, 365). After the fall, Adam eventually learns to appreciate the company of his female companion and ends up falling for her, saying “wherever she was, there was Eden” (377). Eve’s diary recounts her discovery of Eden and Adam, and her growing love for him. Human love, replacing that of God, appears as a feeling that does not need an Eden, a feeling that is in itself a redemption. Throughout the excerpts, an image of the two characters can be shaped but also an image of their respective genders’ roles, behaviors and understanding of love… To what extent does the portrayal of Eve in the extracts apply to the expectations for women today? Millenniums later, some of these expectations may have not changed a lot, but some fundamental changes in the way women are perceived did occur. To begin with, Eve is quite the sensitive kind, and the use of the word “feel” (Twain, 368) repeatedly, and the semantic field of feelings (feel, heart, love, passion, romantic etc.) expended in her first diary entry, highlight her emotional nature. She also seems to cry at many occasions, and describes it as “natural”. She is appalled by Adam’s attempt to fish and says: “Hasn’t it any heart? Hasn’t it any compassion for...

...Forrest Gump (1994) Film review and analysis Varga Noémi – HKDE13 The blockbuster movie Forrest Gump was made in the year 1994, and it was an American romantic-comedy-drama film that won multiple awards and nominations, including awards won from the 67th Academy Awards, 1995 Golden Globe Awards, 1995 MTV Movie Awards, 1995 People’s Choice Awards and various other ones. In 1996, a themed restaurant, Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, opened based on the film and has since expanded to multiple locations worldwide. The scene of Gump running across the country is often referred to when real-life people attempt the feat. In 2011, the Library of Congress selected Forrest Gump for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". It was an adaption of a novel of Forrest Gump, by Winston Groom. The film differs substantially from Winston Groom's novel, including Gump's personality and several events that were depicted. Robert Zemeckis was the director of the movie, and he made great decisions about the camera techniques to be used in each scene. The movie stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson, and Sally Field. Principal photography took place in late 1993, mainly in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Released in the United States on July 6, 1994, Forrest Gump became a commercial success as the top grossing film in North America released in that year. The story depicts several decades...
