...Extra Motivation Essay Doesn’t everyone need a little motivation sometimes? Whether it’s to go to work, to exercise, or to achieve one of their goals, a little extra motivation never hurts anybody. Stephen King’s Quitters Inc., follows a man who joins a firm to knock his bad habit of smoking, with tons of obstacles along the way guaranteeing his decision to quit. By examining achieving their goals, staying off of their phone in class, and doing their homework, one can see that sometimes a teenager needs extra motivation to accomplish something in life. One can see by examining a teenager, that they may need extra motivation to stay off of their phone during classes. Being on their phone during class time can distract the student from getting his/her assignments done to the best of their ability with all of their attention on the teacher or paying attention to the lessons being taught. If a student receives a text message that upsets or angers them, their mindset will change and this can keep them from doing their best to succeed. Donatti gave Morrison the extra motivation he needed by using his family as a motive to quit for good. To get Morrison’s full attention, Donatti states “Oh no, your wife gets the rabbit trick, not you,” (King, 217). This shows Donatti using a rabbit as an example to show Morrison that he needs extra motivation to quit smoking. If Morrison puts one cigarette to his mouth and lights it, his wife will get put in the electric room and she will be shocked...

...fact is the director received 3 times more than was expected. An the other known fact was out of the three agencies only two required that these donation be used for the manner in which it was requested for. 2. In this ethical dilemma the potential stakeholders would be the agencies, and the director and the organization new part-time employee. 3. For advice, and consultation, and input I think the best thing to do would be to thank all three agency for assisting in their contribution. I would also explain each avenue on why it was very important for this donation which was to help get the extra needed help to help their communities in which we assist. 4. In this dilemma I think that it is best to do what the money was given for and that is to support the new salary of the new part-time employee. 5. In this dilemma the outcome for good is that the community will get the needed extra help to the support their needs. Now the bad could be that the money would be used for other things besides what it was needed for. The forces in which needs to be considered is that it is this organization civil obligation to be honesty and truthful on what the purpose of this money is for and apply to the part-time position in which they request the money and following the values and a moral code to in which this organization will stand by. My civil obligation is to do right by the money which was given to our establishment and not defraud these agencies in which contributed these...

...1. Level I Incentives: Level I incentives are geared towards increasing employee productivity, but usually for a short amount of time. I have personally never been given these kinds of incentives in my internships, but it is similar to being given extra credit on coursework if you do the extra problems. If I were working in sales, an incentive to sell a certain amount (i.e. 5% of the sale) would have motivated me to work harder to achieve a greater sale. Level II Incentives: Level II incentives give employees motivation to find a better or smarter way of getting work done. At GE, engineers were encouraged to find a problem in the process of gas turbine manufacturing by awarding the best innovative idea/improvement with a cash award. The most beneficial aspect of this option for the company was the submission of several good improvements, but only the loss of one cash prize. Level III Incentives: Level III incentives last the longest, because it pertains to an overall improvement in work culture. Whether it’s the encouragement of employee recognition, friendly competition, openness of management, any of these cultural aspects could foster greater productivity. At GE, it was generally understood that if you shared responsibilities/shadowed your manager consistently for a year or two, you would be entitled to the next level managerial position. Knowing there is always room to move up, as long as you achieve the best results, keeps employees working harder or better for a longer...

... A relative of the mint family, skullcap, is a small plant that ranges in size from one to four feet tall. Given the botanical name Lateriflora, meaning flowers only grow on one side of the stem, skullcap flowers bud with varying colors of white-blue to purple-pink depending on the season. The plant earned it’s common name of skullcap due to its petals having a striking resemblance to that of a medieval helmet. I first heard of skullcap at a health seminar from a naturopath, who claimed the sedative properties would help calm, if not stop the body convulsions I was struggling with at the time. Unfortunately, she never recommended which species to try and I didn’t possess the personal knowledge at that time to make the correct decision on my own. However, having the opportunity to research the history, science and uses of skullcap for this paper, I now have a greater understanding of its significance and healing abilities. For centuries, skullcap has been considered sacred in numerous cultures. The females of Native American tribes used this plant not only for maintaining a healthy reproductive system, but also for important ceremonial purposes such as when she makes the transition from a young girl into womanhood. It is my understanding that if certain menstrual taboos were broken in a tribe, a purification ceremony would be held. skullcap would be dried, lit on fire, and waved around the 'rule breaker', similar to what I have learned about cleansing. The smoke from the burning...

...the air and can move unexpectedly to the right or the left or it can drop suddenly. Topspin Serve A topspin serve does exactly that – spins rapidly forward from the top. The server tosses the ball a little higher, strikes the ball towards the top of the back in a down and outward motion and follows through with his or her swing. This serve has a much more predictable movement, but can be difficult to handle because of its quick speed. Jump Serve A jump serve utilizes an even higher toss that should be several feet in front of the server. The server uses more of an attack approach, jumps and strikes the ball in the air. The extra motion allows the server to put even more power on the ball and this can make for a very difficult serve to handle. The drawback is that all that extra motion can lead to a higher incidence of serving errors. Most jump serves have topspin on them, but it is possible to jump serve a floater. Overhand Serve A serve in which the player tosses the ball with one hand and strikes in the air above her head. Underhand Serve A serve in which the ball is given a slight under-hand toss from about waist high and then struck with the opposite closed fist in an "underhand pitching" motion. Power Serve When a serve is hit low and fast to a rear corner of the court. This is also called a drive...

...MGT 300 Chapter 1 and 2 Assignment #1 1. There are many advantages of empowering employees. One advantage companies find in empowering employees is increased performance. Companies that offer pay increase to employees to promote empowerment, for example learning a new skill or taking college classes in areas that will help them, were very successful and experience performance gains. This leads into another advantage of empowering employees because it empowers them with knowledge and responsibility. With the knowledge and responsibility they can use those skills to be able to have self-managed teams. This allows them to supervise their own activities more so than they could have before. The employees have a better understanding of their work and with that they are able to have more responsibility, allowing them to be able to work in self-managed teams. This is an advantage because this allows a company to better utilize its workforce. Employee empowerment does have a few disadvantages as well. One being that it could create a problem with the coordination and organization throughout a corporation, because the decisions aren’t being made by the top managers, who are responsible for the performance of the company and also for establishing organizational goals. This can end up decreasing efficiency which is a big disadvantage to a company. 2.

...all social media excluding phone calls and texting. Once the fast got going, I don’t think I realized how long fast would be though. But I made it through the 24hours and I learned a couple of things along the way. Although I wish I could say I made it through 24hours without any struggles, I would be lying if I said that. But that should be expected from most people as no one can simply make it through something like this without a little bit of struggles. My mood worsened and I became more lethargic. My thoughts were shaming and I began to question taking a career path that requires I stay active on social media. I shamed myself for not pursuing a career of substance and contribution. I wasn’t using the extra time for constructive activities; I was feeling sorry for myself. I missed communicating with the people I follow. I missed sharing my disconnected thoughts on Twitter. At my lowest point, I just wanted to sign on to Facebook to read status updates from people who think the Onion is a real news outlet. I missed the feeling of tumbling down the internet’s rabbit hole at 3am, just like any good addict misses their drug of choice. The question I was left to answer was this: If I don’t share my life on social media, does Wit & Delight exist?...

...A study released this month reveals that younger diners are enjoying the new concept of ordering their meals with tablets when they go out to eat. Of the 6,000 consumers who were surveyed, nearly 40% were very favorable towards this new piece of the dining experience. Many casual-dining restaurants are excited about this new trend and establishments like Applebee’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, Chili’s, and Olive Garden are beginning to test this technology as well. The younger population seemed to be much more comfortable with this change and some businesses hope to adopt this practice because it supposedly streamlines the ordering process and delivers faster service. As time goes on, peoples’ lives are prone to becoming fast-paced and hectic and this may be a way to make dining out a little bit easier. However, as the age of the diners increased, the study found that the percentage of people who favored the use of tablets to order food had decreased. Older diners would rather interact face to face with a person. Now businesses are presented with the challenge of deciding on which part of these opposing extremes they wish to please, or how to please both. Of course, there is a lot of controversy with tabletop ordering. It makes a person's job a computer's job, and that cuts costs. Each console goes for $100 per month, which, in the end, comes out much cheaper than what it costs to employ a waiter. Also, no manager needs to train it, replace it if it quits, or offer it sick days. The...

...Anonymous Evaluation Paper Red Lobster Evaluation Red Lobster is a restaurant that is notorious for claiming they provide excellent seafood. Their promise is to provide tasty seafood while also providing people with a wonderful dining experience. Here is Red Lobster’s story taken straight from their website, “Here at Red Lobster we’re passionate about serving our guests great seafood. It’s why we go the extra mile to bring you the best dining experience possible. Our fishermen take pride in catching only the highest quality seafood, and the freshest fish. Our grill master’s expertly perfect flavors, cooking seafood and steak over a wood fire grill. And our servers pull out all the stops to make every dining experience feel extra special. It’s our passion. It’s our pride. Because at Red Lobster, we Sea Food Differently.” For me, I was anxious to see if the Red Lobster restaurant made me feel like I was having a real, oceanic experience. It is hard to have great seafood when comparing it to fresh, straight out of the ocean, seafood. Like many restaurants, Red Lobster has claimed it provides a comforting atmosphere, tasty seafood, and excellent service; however, I believe Red Lobster actually upholds its overall promise to its guests. Immediately after walking into Red Lobster, I felt as if I was walking into a restaurant striving for that “right off the coast,” appeal. I could sense that Red Lobster was trying its hardest to appeal to every guest that entered through...

...to charities. Although, I am in line with the fact that the U.S. consumer has been brainwashed into thinking they are purchasing necessities and have shown a lack of judgment for understanding when they are purchasing necessities versus when they are purchasing luxuries, I do not agree that is a reason to give away all of your extra income to charities around the world. This is an extremely unrealistic amount that does not align with how a large population of our society thinks about personal wealth. The words need and want are used interchangeably in American culture and this causes us to trick ourselves into believing we should be buying unnecessary items. For example, even when we are speaking about things we want, we often say we need them because it highlights how badly we want that item. Things that you want could give you a goal to work towards, but when you think about things that you need you are liable to feel bad about yourself or less than others if you do not have these items. A huge reason why many of us do not donate substantial amounts of money is because we do not believe we have the money to do so, but in fact we do have the extra money to donate to charities, we just chose to spend it other wise. We are not taking responsibility of our actions and our thoughts. As a society, we have come to think of many things as necessities, when they...
