...Some people have heard the saying “The only place success comes before work is the dictionary.” This is one of many lessons in the book Kon-Tiki, that you have to work hard in order to be successful. When Thor Heyerdahl first had the theory that the Polynesians had sailed across the ocean on balsa rafts, nobody believed him. There was to much research on all other ways that no one wanted to say that those could be wrong. He had to keep trying different people to see who would believe him, and eventually he decided to prove it. About a year of hard work later, he finally had proof that they could float across the ocean on a balsa raft, and people could no longer turn away the theory. His hard work had paid off. It took a year and a voyage across...

...Anthony Ashley-cooper was the 7th Earl of Shaftesbury and is most known for his philanthropy during the Industrial Revolution. Ashley’s early life was loveless; he grew up without the experience of parental love. He did not see his parents very often and when they had to take notice of him, they were formal and scary. His difficult childhood was softened by his house keeper and his sisters. His housekeeper, Maria Mills, provided a form of Christian love that would form the basis for his later social activism and philanthropic work. She also told him Bible stories and taught him prayers. Despite the reprieve his school became another form of misery. The school that he went to was bad, wicked, and filthy. The treatment was starvation and cruelty....

...explained why voting was not a safe action to do for newly freed men. In 1872 Emanuel Fortune expressed the fact that white would not sell land to colored men. The excuse land owners would give the colored men was that they did not sell small quantities of land. This testimony that Fortune shares shows how white people were closed minded about giving colored people opportunities (The meaning of reconstruction, 326). In 1872 Henry M. Turner explained how colored people were not getting payed for their work. He also explained how white men who employed colored people found ways to bring colored employees into debt with them by the en of the year. Employers would then force them to work for they now owe (The meaning of reconstruction, 327). Turner also expressed how colored people would loose $5 for an absent day to work when they were payed only $50 to $75 a hole year (The meaning of reconstruction, 327). In this testimonies we can clearly see that the word “Freedom” was not a word that described the life that was being currently lived after the civil...

...In the latest soccer transfer market, soccer giants PSG signed Neymar for a reported fee of $263 million just for him to move clubs. He now makes $45 million a year. In 2016, it was reported from the Australian government that the most payed doctor makes $443k a year. By this fact you are telling me that someone kicking a ball should get payed more money than someone who saves lives. LeBron James makes a total salary of 86.2 million per year. Someone who bounces a ball up and down makes more money than the people who save our lives and people right now don’t even pay attention to this fact. Sport is one thing and one thing only. It is entertainment for everyone. An average person aged 25 to 34 years old makes approximately $776 weekly/$40,350 per year. A WWE superstar named Seth Rollins made $2.4 million in 2016. In 2016, he did not participate in any matches due to a ACL injury. He got paid $2.4 million for going to the gym. This is unbelievably unfair in every way. The doctor that made him recover wouldn’t even get any near that pay. An average man who gets paid $40,350 per year works 5 to 6 times a week does not get a quarter of his pay....

...According to Leonhardt,”full-time worker with a bachelor’s degree made 40 percent more than those with only a high-school diploma,” (Source D), which shows that college graduates earn more. With students going to (and graduating from) college, they earn money that can later be used to pay off any debts from college as well as mortgages from any property that they payed for (house, car, e.t.c). Taking into account that financial aid for college is offered and benefits minorities who want to go to college (which are statistically hispanics, which make up the majority of California), college is not as expensive as many people claim it is (Source D). Despite this information, some people may say that students can still get a job after high school, especially,”if the goal is to...

...To survive in life a person needs to get a job. A job should be enjoyed, since spending countless hours doing something you do not enjoy doesn’t get you anywhere in life, except passed paying taxes. Children of all ages, places, and generations dream of what they are going to be when they grow up, dreams like firefighters, doctors, artists, and chefs. All children dream, but most dreams come short of coming true. In society today, many people's occupations are chosen not because they are following their dream, but because they need the money earned to survive, or they are not treated fairly in the job the desire. What makes finding a job that supports a family even harder is the gender pay gap, if you are a woman. This is because some bosses...

This article is persuasive because it talks about all the good that he has done in his life. “I made a little book, in which I allotted a page for each of the virtues” (Benjamin Franklin 170). He is saying that he made a book and in his book he wrote down all the virtues and the days of the week to keep track of them. He is disciplining himself to become a better person. “I determined to...

...English Composition Professor Lahmon January 19, 2015 Words of Wisdom It was a typical dulI Monday as I walked into class that day, I grabbed a seat next to the class clown and waited for him to begin his daily routine of joking. The class was pretty much boring, until he began to joke,but he did not begin to joke until the substitute would come around to check to see if we were doing our work. As she roamed around the room to make sure we were on task in doing the work, she would ask questions from the work unexpectedly, hoping she wouldn't call on me. “Marvell, What forms clastic sedimentary rocks and how are they named?” I looked around the classroom occupied with twenty-nine other students and felt a rush of a chills run down my spine as all of their eyes pierced through my skin. I knew I didn't know the answer and everyone else did too. “Umm, is it umm, I don't know Ms. Palmer” I mumbled. She looked at me in disbelieve and I knew she was disappointed in me. I was really upset with myself so turned and put my head down, until fifteen minutes later the class clown started. I remember the words “Everyone is failing, and it is close to the time where reports will be going out”, which were said by the permanent sub of my seventh grade science class. Some payed attention to what she said and some went on with their conversations. At that time, the sub had been there for about four months, due to our teacher being on maternity leave. Our original teacher had left her...

...Hawthorne not only created Chillingworth to look like the Devil but he also made him act like the serpent from Hell. The Devil is said to act like a parasite as he sticks to man and tempts him with sin. Similarly, Hawthorne payed homage to this analogy of the Devil by creating the ninth chapter of his book “The Leech” and he talks about how Chillingworth took it upon himself to take care of Dimmesdale. In the chapter, none of the characters actually call Chillingworth a leech but the narrator told of the time Chillingworth spent with Dimmesdale “to enable the leech to gather plants with healing balm in them, they took long walks on the seashore or in the forest” (Hawthorne 84). Hawthorne did this so the reader can connect Chillingworth to the...

...your life, that changed dramatically the direction and purpose you where heading for? An experience that is still vivid, and alive, years after. A supernatural transformation that is only lived once in a lifetime? I have! It happened on August 14, 2004, about 5 years ago. I had no idea that that specific day, the history of my life would be changed. I never imagined, who I was about to meet. I payed the 30 bucks, prepared my blanket, pillow, clothing, and headed out with my sister, to an adventurer. I installed myself. I didn't know what to expect, I didn't know what was to happen. Somehow I felt anxious and nervous, but why? The weather was cold, and I was in line waiting for the doors to open. The two big wooden doors were opened, and as I was walking in I saw many young men and women clapping, they where clapping for me, they where cheering me on, they looked at me as though I was important and significant. But why? I seated down, and a preacher walked up to the pulpit. He started talking about him, about his love, and his forgiveness. I suddenly started sobbing, I couldn't stop, I had never sobbed so much in my life! What was happening inside me, that things of my past started taking place in my mind? It was as though he was confronting me, he made me know what hurt, what had marked my childhood, and my entire life. It was Saturday, the next day. I was there just waiting for him to talk to me, to come and rescue me. I was open to his love...

...Lecture 10. A General Overview of the Income Tax 1. A General Overview of the Income Tax 2. Coverage Scope of the Income Tax 3. Deductions Allowed for Taxation Purposes Part 1. A General Overview of the Income Tax In the RM the unitary income tax was introduced on 1.01.98 and replaced three taxes: the profit tax of enterprises, the individual income tax, and the profit tax of banks and other crediting institutions. In most countries of the world individual and corporate income tax vary; this is why the unification of these taxes is an innovation in the taxation practice. The income tax subjects comprise juridical and natural persons receiving income from any sources on the territory of the RM during the taxation year, and juridical persons-residents, which receive investment and financial income from sources outside the RM. Since there are various interpretations of the terms individual and company in the taxation and civil legislation, we will explain some of them. According to the taxation legislation juridical persons are: 1. Any enterprises, institutions, and organizations involved in enterpreneurial activity with the exception of individual enterprises and farms. 2. Non-residents with an economic presence on the RM territory According to the taxation legislation natural persons are the individual enterprises and farms. According to the taxation legislation, taxation subjects are the entities legally responsible for paying taxes. The income tax...
