...female. God has made every human on this earth have distintive features. And in his eyes they are all beautiful. If you are one who deals with self esteam issues, every morning look yourself in the mirror and say God does not make mistakes. Our first and last love is self love. The second step is accept what it is. There is only so much that we have control over. If we are presented with a situation that we can not change or affect then just let it be. "It is what it is" is something i like to say. For example say your going to be late for work becasue there is traffic and there is only one route to your job, instead of getting stressed out about being late for work understand that you can not physically pick up the cars and move them so just let it be. Obviously there is nothing you can do about traffic so don't think about it just wake up alittle earlier the next day. If you practice this on small situations, as big obstacles come in your life you will have a stressless approuch to alot of things. Finally never lose hope. Hope is what gives you a path to peacefulness. If you get to a bump in the road, feel in your heart that everything will be ok. Struggle is always only temporary. Knowing that whatever your going through will be over soon lifts all the negative energy off of you. There...

...Marian Halcombe Rose Hill Cottage Cumberland Road London L10 9R5 18th June 1865 Dearest Walter, I’m writing to you today with a cup of tea by my side to let you know that I am safe in London. I do not want to discuss much about myself, likewise what I am doing; I want to discuss how Laura is. After I had the message about my letter being delivered to Laura and her not wanting to respond, I felt I ought to write to you. Hearing nothing after I have sent every one of those letters leaves me in the dark. I hope Walter, to not patronise you with this letter nevertheless I feel as though I have to get someone to articulate to Laura that I’m well. Her natural sensitiveness makes me hesitate to write to Laura once more. I do hope that she will find enough courage to compose me back a letter as not only does she needs to know I’m adequate; I need her to certify the same. By Laura not replying I hope I have not misunderstood her silence in thinking she is infuriated with me. I miss her writing to me, of her own thoughts and impressions, amid all the wonders she has seen. I hope you can comprehend my reasoning for leaving you and Laura. I realise it was a selfish act. Walter, as I write this letter to you and my darling sister; I think of Laura sobbing which seems to tear me to pieces. You realise Walter my tears are like mens for they do not flow as easily as they ought. In the year I spent helping you with your children, and situated by the fire reading...

...I cannot wait to get a deeper understanding on your philosophy. I am curios to hear and looking forward to classroom lectures. Although I speak of all my positive outlook and hopes I have not stepped into any sort of educational facility since graduating high school. With that being said I am somewhat nervous. I take everything with a grain of salt. I understand this is no simple or easy task. But with my positive outlook and proper support I hope exceed your expectation of me. I really feel that I have the capability to learn a whole lot in this new field. I’m a very hard worker that is something was instilled in me at a very young age. Also when I am committed to something I seem to enjoy or like, I will not turn away from it. I give my all to things that I know in the long run will better my life. I’m a very humble young man and I appreciate every opportunity that is presented and don’t let them slip by. These strengths combined are what will propel me to succeed in this class. Some of the obstacles and challenges that I face in this class a nothing really overwhelming. They are more so objects that I must take a day at a time. Or just things that you learn with practice. As I mentioned earlier, I have never done anything like this before. So I come in raw to ITT. I just hope to learn and hope not to fail. Milton...

...MY PERSONAL LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY “To Lead with STRENGTH” My ultimate purpose in writing this is to share to everyone my personal leadership philosophy – what I believe to be important as we go on with the service. I believe that in imparting this set of guidance, you will come to understand who I am, what rules I live and work by, what you can expect from me and what I expect from you, and how I will evaluate your performance. In view hereof, I hope you will learn to trust my actions and know where I am heading. As I round up my values in life, I found out that the foundation of all my feats as I go up the ladder of my career is my STRENGTH. It always gives me the direction; it serves as my compass. The STRENGTH that I’m referring to here is neither physical nor psychological, but rather the energy to organize myself to effectively and efficiently perform my tasks, and the power to unite all of us so that we are able to attain the Army’s Vision of becoming “a professional, capable and responsive Army that is a source of National Pride.” And being your leader, it is my primary duty to impart this STRENGTH so that each of us here will have a moral compass to guide us through the maze of intellectual, philosophical and emotional issues that encompass our lives and the Army.

...Obama Inaugural Address 20th January 2009 My fellow citizens: I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition. Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents. So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans. That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet. These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics...

...According to Google, there are roughly 250,000 words in the English language. Hope, however, is one of the most loaded of them all. Even in the simplest situations, hope is relied on the most: walking to the fridge in the morning in hopes of finding some milk or driving through town hoping that the stop light will be green. Throughout our lives, people ask us what our hopes are for our futures, but honestly, with everything that has been going on in our world recently, it does not look like there is much hope for the future. The history of this country is very important. In order to look forward, citizens need to learn from it and grow into the country that many people see as wonderful by respecting each other, working toward goals, and essentially creating peace....

...The American Dream “Hope is a waking dream.” ― Aristotle ( I need to clean this up want to use quote) In the Great Depression many people thought there was no way out of of the poverty they were living in. For many people the only thing that was keeping them going was the thought of creating a career and life for themselves also known as the American Dream. Everyone needs that hope even if it is only very slim. False hope like the American Dream is essential for everyone even if it is unrealistic. America was formed on hope wether it was realistic or unrealistic. Since the U.S. Was founded on hope it is also founded on the American Dream. That is what makes America appealing because it is a free hopeful nation. People can always make a living here as long as they work hard. Which in the Great Depression was a beacon for hope for everyone. Since it seems the only reason Lennie is still going is because of the Dream he has. He is always asking about it for instance when this happens "Lennie pleaded ' Come on, George. Tell me. Please George. Like you done before."'(30). When Lennie keeps asking about this he already knows everything about it he just wants to be reassured by his best friend George. The interesting thing about the two brother like companions is that they already have a very specific dream. While, others don't really have a plan just hope it happens. While they might be dreamers that had some bad luck that is how people got out if that poverty and depression is...

...quotes of a protested poem, how America isn’t what it used to be. Everything will revolve around a poem called “Let America be America Again”`, by: Langston Hughes. “Let America be America again. - Let it be the dream it used to be. Let it be the pioneer on the plain. - Seeking a home where he himself is free. Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed - Let it be that great strong land of love Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme - That any man be crushed by one above.” In this section the author is introducing the idea that America isn’t what it used to be. America was simple a great dream like pioneers on the plain. It seems like the author is saying that America has changed to something that is unfamiliar and new to society. America was a place of love and romance; a place where no king was up to schemes or no man was better than another. “O, let my land be a land where Liberty - Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath, But opportunity is real, and life is free, - Equality is in the air we breathe. (There's never been equality for me, - Nor freedom in this "homeland of the free.")” By the author saying “let my land be a land where Liberty – Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath”. The author is saying give everyone the opportunity to live the American way and not have double standards for certain race or groups of people. Let Americans live the good American way without judgments or harsh radical. The opportunity for freedom is available...

...Victoria Aucoin Mrs. Manetta English IV (H)/5th hour 7 October 2014 Hope for a Hopeless Cause “Never give up. Where there is life…there is hope!” -Lynn Hill. Keeping hope in stressful situations is a trait that families with child cancer patients need to have. A family that has a child with cancer not only has to worry about the child’s schoolwork and illness, but also has to worry about the medical bills. What the St. Jude Foundation does is enable the families to focus on the child, not worry about the payments. The family of the patients at St. Jude never receive a bill for treatment, therapy, or housing. St. Jude Children’s Research Center does more than just treat pediatric cancer patients; it also plays a role in the dynamics of...

...“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.” (QuotesGram). During the darkest moments in someone's life, someone may believe that they have nothing at all. In reality, they only need to have one thing, and that is hope. Louis “Louie” Zamperini was an Olympic runner and World War II veteran. During the war, he was sent out with an unreliable B-24 plane, often referred to as a “Flying Coffin,” in an effort to find missing soldiers, but his plane crashed in the ocean. This launched an unfortunate chain of events that left a permanent dent in his life. He was imprisoned at four Japanese camps during this dark chapter in his life. Instead of giving up, he uses hope and resilience to endure the most difficult...

...“There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow” (Marden) Hope, is a word used too commonly but not defined very clearly. When people hope on something, they are simply wishing for it to happen. Think of a woman who has been diagnosed with cancer. Her husband has died and her children have moved away. She has no one to care for her so she hopes every day that she will become better, and by doing that it can give her peace of mind and relieve stress. It can let her see a positive outlook in her life, which leads her to eating the right foods, taking her medicine, and exercising more. To her, hope is the small spark when everything else in her world is dark. Hope is driving her to do things and get the best end results on her life. She plans for the worst, but hopes for the best. You will suffer, you will despair, you will cry and you will feel sorrow. It’s unavoidable. But guess what! There is good news, there is Hope. It means that life doesn’t have to be all gloom and doom. Every moment you live is a chance to turn things around, change your perspective, find your focus, achieve your goals, and continue on your mission. All you need is hope. Even if all things seem lost, as long as you have hope, things might just change for the better. Now, it takes more than hope to make a positive impact against your struggles, but hope is the start. “Hope never abandons you; you abandon...

...Search Enoch Arden by Lord Alfred Tennyson Published 1864 Long lines of cliff breaking have left a chasm; And in the chasm are foam and yellow sands; Beyond, red roofs about a narrow wharf In cluster; then a moulder'd church; and higher A long street climbs to one tall-tower'd mill; And high in heaven behind it a gray down With Danish barrows; and a hazelwood, By autumn nutters haunted, flourishes Green in a cuplike hollow of the down. Here on this beach a hundred years ago, Three children of three houses, Annie Lee, The prettiest little damsel in the port, And Philip Ray the miller's only son, And Enoch Arden, a rough sailor's lad Made orphan by a winter shipwreck, play'd Among the waste and lumber of the shore, Hard coils of cordage, swarthy fishing-nets, Anchors of rusty fluke, and boats updrawn, And built their castles of dissolving sand To watch them overflow'd, or following up And flying the white breaker, daily left The little footprint daily wash'd away. A narrow cave ran in beneath the cliff: In this the children play'd at keeping house. Enoch was host one day, Philip the next, While Annie still was mistress; but at times Enoch would hold possession for a week: `This is my house and this my little wife.' `Mine too' said Philip `turn and turn about:' When, if they quarrell'd, Enoch stronger-made Was master: then would Philip, his blue eyes All flooded with the helpless wrath of tears, Shriek out `I hate you...

...1. What are Jim’s options? a. In this situation, Jim has a couple of options before him. He could request the meeting be postponed due to the absence of his partner, without whom he cannot complete the presentation. He also could let it be known that he saw Sara at the gas station on his way to work this morning and discredit her. Another option would be for Jim to pick up the slack and put together a presentation with the material he has. 2. What does he actually know and what does he think he knows? Does it matter? b. Jim knows that Sara called out sick and that he does not have her slides for the presentation. He also knows that he is to give a big presentation to the CEO today. He thinks he knows that she isn’t actually sick, but rather skipping the presentation. This matters only if Jim lets it distract him from the task at hand. 3. How could he apply the character qualities you’ve learned about so far (persistence, enthusiasm, optimism, and self-control) in this situation? c. Jim could be persistent and enthusiastic by putting together a presentation with the time he has so that the meeting will not have to be rescheduled. In doing so, having optimism, perhaps the CEO will see that Jim had pulled off the presentation even with his coworker being absent, which could potentially lead to a promotion. Jim needs to show self-control in that he should not mention seeing someone who looked like Sara at the gas station. That information is irrelevant...

...everyone in the area. By always being positive around people, a person can always help people. A Positive attitude will enable people to have a unique view of the world and have positive thinking. In the mind of a positive person, everything is possible to achieve, and failure is an option because it allows them to grow. If they face a problem or they make a mistake they often learn something, and recover from it and find a solution to solve it. By learning from mistakes, people can easily adapt to different situations. If people focus on the positive aspect of things, they will be happier and will be able to achieve almost anything.
