I agree with the statement “the choices and actions one takes directly determine the directions one’s life will lead for better or worse”. I agree with this statement because of the butterfly effect that was in every movie, article, and book. Like Thor, the challenger explosion, and the sleeping bear dunes.

Thor decided to fight the frost giants and in doing so he created a war against them then Thor’s father sent him to earth without the power to return or use his powers until he learned his lesson so that he could return to his world and save the two worlds. If Thor wasn’t so careless in the beginning the whole war would not have happened.

The challenger explosion happened because there was a broken O ring. If the scientists didn’t overlook this problem then those people who died in the explosion would have lived the carelessness of these people cost the other people their life. I think that this could have been easily stopped the flight could have been postponed or even cancelled but it wasn’t and cost 7 people their life the families blame the space program for these deaths.

The sleeping bear dunes were created by a fire that the bears swam into Lake Michigan and the babies could not make it across so if the fire would not have happened then the dunes and islands would not have been formed and people would not have the dunes to admire and respect. But if the mother bear had the babies ride on her back the maybe the cubs would have survived but then sleeping bear dunes would never have been there.

These are the reasons for me agreeing with the statement “The choices and actions one takes directly determine the direction one’s life will lead for better or worse. I do believe this statement. I have many moments in my life that will affect me

    The sequence of events that led to the bad decision on the part of NASA’s base lie in economic, political, and scheduling backlog pressures. Competition from the European Space Agency put NASA under pressure to come up with a space mission, which would hopefully shed light on the ability of NASA to plan commercialized space departures. NASA also had to prove that its program should continue to be funded; another unforeseen pressure pushing NASA to schedule its record number of Space exploration trips that year than in any other year. Also, the space shuttle mission scheduled before the Challenger had been delayed over and over; a record number of times. The next mission after the Challenger involved a probe being sent into space in order to evaluate Haley’s Comet. If the Challenger and subsequently the next mission were not executed in a timely manner then a doppelganger probe from Russia would beat the U.S. probe to Haley’s Comet. Pressure to launch the challenger, as soon as possible, could have also come from President Reagan’s upcoming State of the Union Address in which he would be mentioning the first teacher astronaut in space. All of these beforehand mentioned pressures led to bad engineering design, and timing, which ultimately led to the failure of the Space Shuttle Challenger mission. In order to evaluate and correct…

    When you’re walking down the street and see the kids out and about, what are some things that you see that can affect their behavior or even their future possibly? The things that go on in today’s society have played a major role in how this generation, along with others turn out. An individual being raised in a single-parent home, in an immoral community, or maybe even losing someone that meant everything to them can affect their lives in ways that can either send them down the right or wrong road. Also, a person’s choices or decision-making skills can affect their life in a major way. “Your choices will determine your future” was always something I was told as a youth. When reading The Other Wes Moore these problems…

    Space exploration was magical for my generation. If you asked any child, especially boys, what they wanted to be when they grew up, many would proudly announce “An astronaut!”. That does not seem to be the case with the youth of today as our space program is not the glory we once knew. For the majority of Americans, the Challenger Disaster was just that, a disaster. After watching the documentaries and listening to the opinions expressed by both experts and those actually in charge of the lethal decisions in the launch, my views have changed. It is hard to imagine money and appearance were the driving motives to launch a shuttle with known complications. The fact the space program…

    President Ronald Reagan appointed a special commission to determine what went wrong with Challenger and to develop future corrective measures. Headed by former secretary of state William Rogers, the commission included former astronaut Neil Armstrong and former test pilot Chuck Yeager. Their investigation revealed that the O-ring seal on Challenger’s solid rocket booster, which had become brittle in the cold temperatures, failed. Flames then broke out of the booster and damaged the external fuel tank, causing the spacecraft to disintegrate.(Cole, Michael D.pg.26) After figuring out what had happened NASA decided to cancel all the upcoming launches. After the accident, NASA refrained from sending astronauts into space for more than two years as it redesigned a number of the shuttle’s features. Flights began again in September 1988 with the successful launching of Discovery. Since then, the space shuttle has carried out numerous important missions, including the repair and maintenance of the Hubble Space Telescope and the construction of the International Space Station. On February 1, 2003, a second space shuttle disaster rocked the United States when Columbia disintegrated upon reentry, killing all aboard. While missions resumed in July 2005, the space shuttle is slated for retirement in 2011. (www.history.com pg 1) No one ever thought this was going to happen NASA wouldn’t have…

    Mistakes that happen in life can lead us to success better. Although Robert Frost writes,”Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,and sorry i could not travled both and be one traveler ,long i stood and looked down one as far as i could to where i bent in the undergrowth ,”(lines 20)This is explaining that he had stand in between the two road and realize that he didn't really know which road to pick so it could lead him to better world. Also,he had wisdom of not picking the right one for him and he did not realize what he really wanted. Another evidence that Robert Frost writes is,”i shall be telling this with sigh somewhere ages and ages hence two roads diverged in a wood,and i took the one less traveled by, and that had made all the difference. ”(lines 10 )…

    Living is about making choices. The choices people make shape their lives for better or worse. Even the decision not to choose has its effects, often not wanted. But the individual who chooses to make positive choices and to act accordingly is more likely to see his or her life reflect his or her beliefs and desires. Usually the individual who chooses to take action is also willing to face the risks and obstacles that such choices involve.…

    Anthony Robbins once said “It’s in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.” People make so many quick decisions unconsciously, whereas other decisions are lamented over. Society makes choices and creates opinions through deep mental thought which is influenced by preference, logic, feelings, and reflection. Some people may even question whether free will is a believable concept. Others believe it is all within our own power to make decisions that will lead to greater happiness. Little decisions lead to big consequences because when small and simple decisions are made, big decisions are to come, choices indicate character, and every decision made impacts other decisions.…

    There is little doubt that the decisions we make pave the road of life we walk on. A person’s health can be affected by seemingly small decisions such as salad or pizza for dinner. A person’s career is affected by larger decisions such as getting a degree or enlisting in the armed services. A person’s home life is dependent on the decision of where to live and whether or not to live with a partner, children, or animals. I have made many decisions that have forged my life as I know it today. A decision six years ago to marry a man who resides in Flower Mound with his two young daughters is what has placed me on the path that I am currently on in the town that I currently live. I was a single mother of one, living a simple life. I started bookkeeping to support my daughter at the age of nineteen; the pay was steady and increased with every year I gained experience and knowledge in the field. While it was a good decision at the time to…

    I began to think this way about a year ago, when I went through one of the toughest times in my life. I had never been the kind of person who would take insane chances, or even chances for myself. I made sure I was the one who was always there to help my friends but never made time for me. As if it were fate’s way of telling me it was finally time to live for myself, I was presented with an opportunity that deemed irresistible and I was unable to turn away from it. Taking that one chance changed my life; it flipped my entire world as I knew it upside down and left me on completely unknown grounds. From then on I was forced to build myself from practically nothing. Going through this, I built my personal philosophy of living for the moment, because that instant when I decided to do just that changed my life forever and for the better.…
