...that the youth of today is the driving force of tomorrow, Rizal even quoted that “The Youth is the hope of our future, but most of the adults nowadays call them the “lost generation”. Are today’s youth really a lost generation? Let’s face it, they may give them that label because it is true that young people are struggling in record numbers to find work, leave home, and start a family, according to a 2010 census figures recently released by the US Department of commerce United States Census Bureau. Today, I’d like to discuss the nature of the youth nowadays, the role of government in honing the youth of today, and if the youth can really make a difference. Today’s youth is a different generation to any of the youth generations that have gone before. Yes, there has always been a youth market, but the 21st century differs in both a neurological and emotional manner from previous youngsters. The radical shift has occurred most rapidly over the past decade, as technology continues to advance at an exceptional pace. These children live and exist in a digital dominion which they find as natural as the air they breathe. Well, it is true that young people are a crucial segment of our society; they are the basis for future development. Young people are social actors of change and can serve as a pressure group to lobby governments in defining their priorities. It has been clearly stressed that youth are not only the leaders of tomorrow, but the partners of today. Youth have some responsibilities...

...nothing we can do to stop the course of time. Life itself is no more than a breath. “You do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes” (James 4:14). The year, the day and the hour will soon come that will bring our life here on earth to an end. There, at life’s junction, our eternal destiny will be sealed. It will be the point of no return. So make sure today that you know where you are heading. Today our feet stand on time’s sinking sand. Tomorrow some of our footprints might remain, but we are gone – into eternity. Today our hands are busy at work, we can see things with our eyes, our mind is thinking, we are planning for the future. Tomorrow all is still. The arms are folded, the eyes are closed and they will remain so, for we are gone – gone to eternity. Others were once busy as we are now, healthy as we are, thoughtless as we are; but now they are gone – to eternity. What comes after we die? Whether your destiny takes you right or left at the junction of your life is something you must decide today. Either you will wake up with rapture in the glory of heaven or be engulfed in the darkness and despair of hell. “Man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment” (Heb. 9:27). Dear reader, our own turn to enter eternity will shortly come. Let us ask ourselves honestly, “Am I prepared for eternity?” We should give our conscience time to answer. Let us not drown...

...Managerial Leadership MGMT-4461 U00509040 DR. Tuberville University of Memphis March 26, 2015 Fitness and Leadership One, two, three, four, five; Oh my, I just cannot do anymore pushups. I’ve only done five and I have fifteen more to go. You know what, I think that is enough for today, I will finish them tomorrow. As a matter of fact, I think I’m going to finish my entire workout tomorrow, I have done enough for today. Well tomorrow comes and I make the same exact statements, maybe I am just not fit for this exercise stuff. This is the way I used to think when I thought about getting fit, but then I begin applying my self-leadership skills to my fitness goals and now you can’t keep me away from the gym. Chapter 10 of Mastering-Self Leadership: Empowering yourself for personal Excellence by Neck and Manz, explains the connection that self-leadership and fitness have with each other. It’s no surprise that exercise and diet is the key to fitness but you have to have self-control and self-empowerment to actually get up and workout. My fitness level is not at its best but I do try to work out at least three times a week, am I always successful with working out that often, No; but it is the routine that I am trying to make a habit. I have also realized that I do not have a good workout plan, I go into the gym completely lost because I don’t know what I should work on. I look at the treadmill and hop on for maybe ten minutes because I get bored with it fast. Then I go over...

... emphasize the tragedy, and portray the mood. Foreshadowing is very important and change the way a story is read. Firdawsi did a great good of foreshadowing when he wrote the Shah-nama. The Shah-nama is a tragedy that tells the story of Rustam and Suhrab. Rustam is a mighty leader who unknowingly kills his son Suhrab. Creating suspense in any story is very important to keep a reader entertained and actively reading the story. One way this can be done is by foreshadowing. In the Shah-nama, Firdawsi, the author uses foreshadowing to create suspense. “Let us dismiss such fancies from our hearts, for he will come to fight with me tomorrow.(4) This creates suspense because Suhrab is expecting another battle tomorrow. One can be lead to believe that the fight will be epic battle. One can also be lead to believe that Rustam will find out the truth. In conclusion this is how Firdawsi used foreshadowing to create suspense. A tragedy will often be the topic of a poem. Firdawsi used foreshadowing to emphasize the tragedy in the Shah-nama. “My mother told me I should recognize my father”(5). This is where Rustam figures out he might have a connection to Suhrab. The reader can also predict that the truth will come out and Suhrab will provide proof that he is Rustam’s seed. This also emphasizes how tragic the kill of one’s child can be. As you can see foreshadowing is important in a story especially when emphasizing the tragedy. Portraying the mood to a reader is very important. When...

...Combat Medic, Leader, Mother, Wife: Characteristics of ME 17 June 2012 Introduction to Sociology: Sociology 211 Dr. L. Susan Williams Introduction and Definition of Key Terms What is status? In modern society, status is how society decides what pedestal to place you on. Society can also determine your status on your profession. Celebrities, teachers, doctors and lawyers are placed on a high pedestal and held to a higher standard. Garbage men are looked down on and sometimes not even held to a standard because of their profession. According to Witt (2011:103), status “is the social positions we occupy relative to others.” Status isn’t just what your profession may be. Being a woman, man, Caucasian, Asian, student, or gardener is a status. There are different types of status. A person can have an ascribed status, which is basically a status that a person is born with such as male/female or race. A person can also have an achieved status, which is a status that a person can change such as student, wife, or occupation. With each status that we hold, we also have roles to play. “A role is a set of expectations for people who occupy a given social position or status” (Witt 2011:105). For example, we expect teachers to be great with students and lawyers to know the law. Unfortunately, this is not always the truth. For the duration of this paper, I would like to share important ascribed and achieved statuses that I myself hold in society. Status and Roles ...

...Accountants typically get involved in compiling or auditing the financial statements of companies. Large corporations have accountants in the tax department, controllers department (Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Fixed Assets, General Ledger, Management reporting, external reporting), Inventory or cost accounting department Internal Audit and Financial Planning and Analysis. Typically accountants compile data and record transactions through journal entries. They also analyze results and make recommendations on process improvements. There are many different kinds of accountants...some of the careers overlap and some don't. Your level of education/experience will determine how much money you make. FINANCIAL/MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING Staff accountants are employed in a wide variety of industries and perform a wide variety of tasks. Every business is different and every company needs at least one accountant to keep the books in order. Specializations could include inventory, cash, receivables/payables, payroll, purchasing, credit approval/collections, and the list goes on. Financial accounting focuses on "financial statements" which are required by the SEC, and Managerial accounting focuses on measuring costs.

Many CPAs are assumed to be tax accountants because many small...

...True Leader When we look outside in our business world we see managers, CEOs, executives at the top of their game. Businesses trying to innovate, new industries coming up, new work culture. Companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter which could not have been thought of fifteen years ago being at the top of the Forbes lists. It makes me think what is important to make it to the top, an idea, an innovation, a new way of thinking, giving people what they want or is it something more something to do with the people that come up with all this. Lots of people have ideas and ideas that might sell, lots of innovators out there coming up with new inventions and gadgets, how many of them make it to the top? We all have different thinking everybody is different, giving people what they want well I don’t really know if that is just the only thing required to succeed. Then what is it that is required to be at the top, for me it is a true leader. A leader that leads by example, someone who is aware about himself, his strengths and weaknesses, someone who has taken the lessons he got in his real life and put them to use, Someone who knows where he comes from and where he wants to go. There is no book that would teach a person to be a good leader, no study or research would give a definitive style (George B., 2011). So looking at it from the perspective that leadership is so vital for an organization and there is no definitive style of leadership, then what constitutes a true leader? Phil...

...Mr. Andreessen’s strategy was: “give away today and make money tomorrow”. The successful intuition of Andersen lied on the fact that Netscape could reach a high degree of success (make money tomorrow) only if its software was known and used by the public. Thus, Andreessen was committed to distribute of software for free, as well as to a heavy invest in R&D. This strategy generated initial negative cash flows and clearly it was not sustainable in the long run. In order to become highly successful, Netscape had to be able to find the means to continue the invests in R&D, set the industry standard, outperform the competition, and ultimately be profitable. When Andreessen initiated his strategy the market was not competitive. However, Microsoft had the financial means and the reputation to potentially become Netscape’s direct competitor. Netscape was able to set the industry standards and create a good reputation. Ultimately, when the IPO took place, investors perceived the company to be the new leader in the market. Currently, the market is very competitive and the same strategy that made Netscape so successful it may not lead to the same results. New tech companies who focus on high growth, tend to raise capital in three main ways: creating an alliance, through venture capital or through IPO. A strategic alliance, would have provided not only capital but also assets to create economies of scale. It seems that an alley would provide much more than what Netscape needs...

...Management Theory as it Pertains to a Soldier. Throughout business management history there have been several theories that have been founded and set into motion. These procedures have impacted the business world dramatically since the 1800’s. Some have changed with the times and some have remained constant. Without these business management foundations having been established the Army may not exist as we know and understand it today. Leaders must not only understand these theories but know themselves, their responsibility and their soldiers to fully incorporate these theories while evolving with the times and changes in the working environment. Our reading material states that in the late 1800”s “Henri Foyal was one on the most influential contributors to modern concepts of management, having proposed that there are five primary functions of management: (1) planning, (2) organizing, (3) commanding, (4) coordinating, and (5) controlling” (Carpenter, Bauer & Erdogan, 2013, p. 68). This is also relative to the P-O-L-C framework which has survived the test of time and is used in business 125 years later. This basis is the foundation for running a successful profitable business. With that being said, managers must take this model and use it with innovation and creativity. The P-O-L-C does not only have success in the civilian business world but also in the military. I have now served for a total of 25 years and have been promoted to the rank of Master Sergeant/1st Sergeant...
