Barbara Corcoran is one of the successful Entrepreneurs in the US. She started off her business in the real estate field and became a successful business leader. She is also famous in the television shows as a contributor from her field of business and as an investor (Under30CEO, 2016). In the 1970s, Barbara had to take a loan from a bank for her business needs.

Even after trying many times to obtain the bank loan consistently, she did not get it. Getting a bank loan was difficult for women. If any bank approves the loans, the amount received by a woman was much less compared to the male borrower (Jiang, 2014).

Barbara was a pronounced business leader then. Still she had to face the same difficulty in receiving a bank loan like any other female. Barbara never accepted this failure. She faced this challenge with confidence and turned the rejection to self-motivation (Zipkin, 2016). With her consistent trial, at last,, she got the loan for a small amount from one of the banks and could survive with the amount at the crucial period of her business life (Jiang, 2014).

    Born Gwendoline Nessie Foster on 8 June 1920 into a self-sufficient family that was full of music, philosophy, religion and language, Gwen had many early influences in her childhood that were clearly going to have an effect on her later life. Gwen's family had strong connections with music and it became a very important part of her life, causing her to aspire to become a musician. Gwen's grandmother introduced her to poetry and she began to write her own in the 1950's. Soon after, she learnt the German language to establish a wider reading of poetry and involve the language in her own works. Gwen married a linguist named William Harwood in 1945 and then moved around the Southern parts of Tasmania where she lived until her death in December 1995. Although she never felt a true sense of belonging to Tasmania, she was able to draw an amazing amount of inspiration for her poems from any beauty the landscape and surrounding environment contained.

    Susan Bordo’s passage, “Beauty (Re)discovers the Male Body,” she really focuses on the male modeling and the views of males in advertisements. She truly portrays the changes from traditional to modern views of male modeling by society. The Abercrombie and Fitch advertisement is the more traditional of the two. I believe that it conveys all of the types of examples and traits that a traditional male model demonstrates. On the other hand, the second advertisement is from Dolce and Gabbana and illustrates all of the traits that a modern male model has.…

    Louis Nowra has used black comedy within Cosi to allow the audience to abandon their pre-conceptions of ‘mad’ people and to see the characters not for their illness but for their personality. Because of this the audience is able to relate to each character and their situation and realise the underlying sadness of the patients’ lives. Each character brings their own experiences and personalities into the play which creates the audience to perceive characters differently. One of the most obvious perceptions of some characters in the play is the sympathy and pity they invoke through their characters development. The character Roy, who suffers from manic depression, creates sympathy from the audience due to his tragic childhood and consent rejection from society and even the ‘insane’. Julie is also another character who’s also perceived as tragic. Julie is a patient in the asylum due to drug dependency which ultimately causes her death after the play has finished.…

    Since women's wealth was often in the form of jewelry, they also got funds through pawning. Because they were largely illiterate, these women were unable to sign their names at a bank and were unfamiliar with banking routines. A male relative would have to sign for them, gaining access to the money. In addition, bankers, who had never dealt with illiterate low-income women, treated them badly.…

    While reading the book, I Can I Will, I found the messages that were sent across to be very forceful and pertained to a lot of my own life experiences. The book teaches me to overcome my negative preconceptions and always say “I can I will.” It also teaches me to believe in myself, have positive self-affirmation, and spend my energy on important aspects of my life. Furthermore, it enlists self-confidence in the reader and allows an individual to introspectively assess the qualities that are needed for personal success. While it may be easy to comprehend the tasks and qualities that are needed to achieve these goals, it is hard to put them in to affect. However, in life, no meter how hard it is, I have always tried my best to accomplish all my goals and reach almost all my dreams. Today, since I am asked to write this paper, I look back and realize that I was able to accomplish my goals and reach my dreams because I had the ability to overcome negative preconceptions, barriers of fears ,and resistance of changes in my life.…
