...Everyday there are obstacles in life that can be challenging to face. In this essay I will tell you when I've faced disadvantages in my daily life and turned them positive. Ultimately showing how you can turn a disadvantage or obstacle into something positive. To begin with, my main disadvantage is balancing my priorities with my social life. My priorities are working and school, but I get too occupied with it to where I keep my social life very minimal. I work daily to pay for the neccesities I need to survive on but I also have to go to complete my education. There are times where I would like to have a couple of hours with my friends but then I have a later shift or gotta study longer, but I know that once I'm done I will be able to complete my school work and further my career and have the money to hang out with my friends. Now let's continue with a harder disadvantage. Balancing a work life with my family can tend to be a little hectic. For example, when working so many hours a day before going to school after coming home sometimes I just want to rest and be alone. This can become an obstacle with keeping a close and healthy relationship with my mother. In addition to all the stress she has sometimes this leads to clashing of heads. I've learned that for example if we...

...Life is nothing without competition. Whether people admit it or not, everyone wants to be the best. Everyone wants the critical acclaim, fame, or distinguish. Einstein once said "You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.” Who wants to lose? No one. Everyone wants to be a winner. Unfortunately, the world isn't full of winners. The world is full of people who learn the rules of the game and then conform themselves with just being good enough instead of being extraordinary. To me, Einstein was preaching that we're all pawns in the game of life and the way we move dictates our success. In my life, Einstein's words have been a private motto. For example, when I was awarded a full ride to UNC everyone accredited it to the fact that I...

...Life does not differentiate among the young, the old, the rich, or the poor. Obstacles constantly occur throughout life, affecting everyone without discrimination. When everything appears to be falling apart, it does not matter how devastating the events are, but how an individual copes and overcomes it. For me, my most significant challenge was my grandparents, or rather, the circumstances surrounding them. When my grandmother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2012, my mother and I immediately flew to Korea. At first, I was unsettled with the sight of a skeletal frame, dark eye bags, and the hopelessness in her eyes that she was attempting to conceal with a glowing smile. While caring for her, I watched her mental and physical health crumble....

No one was able to think clearly. In a matter of seconds, people started screaming and running in different directions, pushing and trampling on whoever had fallen on the ground. No one had the time to take anything with them. Everyone just ran to save his or her life. Mothers lost their children, whose confused, sad cries coincided with the gunshots. Families were separated and left behind everything they had worked for their whole lives”(p. 23). This quotation...

...island is barraged by obstacles and harsh conditions, the community remains resilient. Sikorsky Aircraft wants to build a production facility on Kava with the goal of not only helping stakeholders and the organization, but also to provide aid to the suffering community. Placing a new facility for production in Kava gives the company the opportunity to reduce production costs and to improve the quality of life of the local residents, which will be done through profit allocation. To promote new businesses in the economy, the government of Kava puts forth incentives like tax breaks and licensing at low costs. Thus, now is the perfect time to bring this plan to fruition. Sikorsky Aircraft already is a player in the global market, and I assert that a Kav’ian subsidiary would be a smart investment. In recent years, Kava has experienced multiple natural disasters. As a result, the community has been ravaged and many families are now experiencing poverty. Sikorsky’s production facility there would give job opportunities to the local people: they could work in the low-level line production jobs that would help the production of the standard H-60 Black Hawk airframe. Part of the profits that would be earned thanks to the cut in labor costs would be dedicated to a revival for the local community. Sikorsky plans to make contributions to community centers, improved housing, disaster relief, activities, and the educational system. Of course, some organizational obstacles block the path of...

Similarly in case of Fonterra the upgrading of the Fonterra business so that that the silos at the diary group are of large stainless steel variety. The global systems program aimed at improving the supply chain of a diary giant from cow to manufacturing to storage to customers. How did they achieve these benefits? RGA achieved these benefits because it was relieved of the problem of worrying about how the business should be managed. In addition, the system helps strengthen data validation and data quality. These useful benefits were achieved by engaging the business and adapting its own practices to the demand of the situation. The company has achieved the benefits by setting up an integrated, multicurrency, and Multilanguage life reinsurance administration system called the CybeRe. In case of Fonterra the benefits were achieved by setting it up an amalgam of the diary industry with self-contained business functions.

...reduce the risk of heart disease and other non-infectious diseases. With a proper diet, a person must also exercise. Exercise is just as important as maintaining a proper diet. Regular exercise improves the quality of life. It can reduce stress; helps a person sleep better, and can help make you feel and look younger. The most important thing that exercise does is, it can reduce the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and even some cancers. During my first week of my nutrition class, the instructor asked me to participate in a three-day diet analysis. I was to keep track of all of the foods that I had consumed in those three days. At the end of the three days, I had realized that I was nowhere near of having a proper diet. I was eating food that was high in sodium and low in dairy, fruit, vegetables, and grain. I also noticed that I was eating a lot empty calories. I just recently took another three-day analysis and the only difference that I noticed was that my calorie intake was much lower than the previous analysis and I am eating less during each meal. I am still nowhere near consuming the proper amount of each of the food groups. Not eating enough of the nutrients from the major food groups is just as bad as eating too much. After taking the analysis, both times I know I need to focus on eating regularly and incorporating all of the food groups within each meal. I also kept track of my physical activity for a three-day period. My exercise routine is good. One...

This type of autonomous system always leaves long and prominent impact on the society and the environment. The whole world is moving towards more and more robotic systems where people just provide voice command or just a program and robotic system does the task automatically. This car can be a stepping stone towards such autonomous enhancement. There are many big players in auto industry who are trying to come into this futuristic field like BMW, Mercedes, Audi and many more, however Google’s self drive car stands apart in terms of completely autonomous car ‘no human interference’. This actually has some implication where human psychology interferes. Human by nature tries to keep control in their hands and having complete confidence on the machine is little difficult to gain. Saying that it is always the way technology improved and become integral part of human life. From bicycle to airplane, every...

...Heightened Activity: A Path in Quality Care The greatest fear of the 65+ community is first being a burden to their family, but second is a fear that any hope for a continued quality of life screeches to a halt the minute they enter an assisted living facility and are stuck with activities like bingo or sewing to pass the time (Graham, 2011). According to Graham (2011), from a statistical stand point it is proven that “elderly people in the U.S. who have an active social life may have a slower rate of memory decline” (para.5). In conjunction to the statistical stand point, further findings have been able to establish that seniors who continue their social adventures and physical activity increase their life span years beyond those who become...

...3434 11/23/15 V for Vendetta Analysis WR 111 C Analysis In the film, V for Vendetta, the director James McTeigue implies that ideas are bulletproof because the idea lives on through the people you've touched. The movie starts off with V saving a fearful women named Evey. She is scared of everything because her parents were killed and she watched her mother get beaten by government officials. V then goes on to explain his beliefs and ideas, and he even shows her his first act of rebellion by destroying the Old Bailey. They then run into each other a couple more times before the main events of V imprisoning Evey to help her lose her fears. She ends up wanting to die rather than give up any information for V's arrest. V does this to help her lose her fears and see what he had to go through partially. His main thing was for her to lose her fears so she would help him execute his main act of rebellion to free the society of their fear and for his ideas to live on. Once he gets all of London to follow his idea, he knows his idea will be bulletproof and it will live on through everyone he touched. V was a victim of a government ran epidemic. The government was experimenting on London natives trying to find a substance to make a super soldier who held a cure and use a illness to be a devastating chemical warfare weapon. V actually held the cure and he was the super soldier the government was trying to make. The whole laboratory went up in flames and burned down unfortunately...

...essential part of every young child’s life. From the moment a child begins their educational career, backpacks become a necessary component in order to transport required materials. There are a myriad of choices when it comes to backpacks from superheroes, princesses, generic colors, etc. The right backpack can represent a child’s individual personality just as the wrong backpack can make the best child child extremely unhappy. The issue with these backpacks, however, are that they are not truly unique to that child. If ten children all purchase the same “Frozen” or Pottery Barn Kids backpack, they are truly not capitalizing on their own unique personality. To that end, my company New Me, is an online backpack boutique in which children can create their own unique backpack design. The site allows each child (or adult) to create a unique backpack with their choice of colors, prints, and even a name personalization tool. With a wide array of colors, patterns, and prints to choose from, the chances of any individual mimicking the same exact creation is virtually impossible. While this idea is innovative in the sense that each bag will be unique, there are several factors that must be considered when launching a business. The key to being a success in an industry that is already oversaturated with products is to do a good job of not only gathering intelligence information but also successfully disseminate and use that information to overcome these obstacles (e.g. Le Bon, 2014).
