Talking About Myself
Did it surprise you that I am not who you thought I was? Did it surprise you to find that I don't exactly stand for what you thought I stood for all along? Did it surprise you to find that I'm not exactly how I played myself out to be?

That the person you thought I was is actually nothing to what I am.

Some days I'm funny, others I'm not, sometimes I'm in overdrive and I can't stop. You may not like me, but that's okay because this is me and how I'll stay.

I'm shy, I'm quiet. I'm an angel in disguise. I'm loud. I'm noisy. I'm a devil inside. You think I'm an innocent girl, so lets make a bet, because if that's what you're thinking, you don't know me yet.

People are gonna talk about me, especially when they envy me, I might as well let them talk, because I affected their lives, they didn't affect mine! The way I see it is the more people that hate me, the less I have to get along with.

But its ironic because that's how I live my life. I smile on the outside, and everyone thinks I'm doing fine but I'm always dieing inside, always one step away from the edge you know?

I can't be happy to be who I am because I don't know who I am anymore.

People are always telling me to smile, like smiling is going to just take away all the hurt and pain.

Well I've tried that... I've tried hiding my sorrows and covering the sadness in smiles... and what I've learned is that when it hurts this much inside your heart always has a way of showing it no matter how many masks you

    Marketing Plan - Firehouse Subs

    1. Franchisees gain numerous advantage when they purchase a franchise. First, while a franchisee may be opening a new store, it is part of an already established business and system. This means a franchisee has access to turnkey operations, allowing an increased speed to establishing and growing the business. Franchisees also get support for management and training activities, as well as financial assistance. Going hand in hand with this, a franchise already has an established brand name, quality of goods and service which have been standardized across the franchisor’s larger company, and national advertising programs from franchisors. Franchises also have large-volume, centralized buying power. A franchise has proven products, and successful business format. Finally, site selection and territorial protection is offered for franchises. All of these advantages increase the chance for a new business in a franchise to be successful. While there are many advantages to a franchise, there are disadvantages as well. First and foremost, in order to own a franchise and take advantage of all the benefits of owning a franchise, there are fees and royalties which are ongoing for advertising, use of the franchise name, products and services, and for use of the business system. A franchisee must also adhere strictly to regulations and standards imposed by franchisors. Franchisors also require the purchase of supplies and equipment from approved suppliers. Franchisors can also restrict what products can be offered in a store, which limits the product line as a whole. This results in an overall limit of freedom which entrepreneurs who start their own business do not have to deal with. Finally, and possibly most relevant from a business standpoint is market saturation. Franchisees have grown tremendously fast in recent years, resulting in an overwhelming number of franchises in the market place.…

    The Hero's Journey By Joseph Campbell

    We were just talked exactly what Akiva Goldsman, a movie producer, said: “the truth is, it’s not what happens to us. It’s what we do with it.” We cannot change what has happened to us, but we can change how we accept realities and how we deal with them. I have a friend who comes to me to say “my life sucks.” She always takes anything negatively even if what has happened to her doesn’t seem that bad for my other friends and I. Talking to her has reminded me that depends on how we look at an event, one’s life can be totally different.…

    “All you optimists out there can wipe that smile off your face right now. Being miserable is the key to a longer life, says one of the most extensive studies of its type ever undertaken. Psychologists found that the most cheerful individuals, with the best sense of humour, die earlier on average than their counterparts with the set jaw and furrowed brow.The researchers also discovered that the happy souls went on to take more gambles with their health over the years. They were more likely to drink, smoke and eat badly.” (Daily Mail)…

    Jaroniec How To Be Okay Analysis

    Even after a tragic experience. The power of positive thinking is a hard battle when you have people constantly telling you and guaranteeing you to “get well”. A promise to “recover” is a promise that can be broken at any moment. According to Adam Baer author of The Pressure to Say You're Okay depicts how there are many ways one may pass their time grieving; one does not know how long it will go on. When people ask one to report to one another the pressure to say that you are okay is strong. Not many have time for an actual conversation; they skim through the thoughts of people as the other say what people want to hear. They keep it short and simple that they ending up failing in finding the type of support that they need. In the article What Really Makes A Person Happy by Amanda Chatel, through a list of things that make people happy the first step is caring about other people. Following with, the traits of positive thinking such as: exercise, enjoying culture, having pets, volunteering, having sexual intercourse, and not thinking too hard about being happy. One does not have to meet everything one the list, doing at least one of these things will make someone happy maybe not forever but for the moment. “While wanting to be happy is a good thing, it’s when we don’t let go enough to enjoy ourselves that we end up facing some serious self-defeat”, says Chatel as she…

    A Narrative Essay On How Music Changed My Life

    Sometimes I would act like something i'm not, i'd think maybe i'm depressed because I don't like who I am and creating this fake personality who everyone loved and everyone thought was so happy was not me. Then one night I red a quote that an inspirational singer “Kurt Cobain” said “I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.” what Kurt Cobain was referring to was, if you be something you're not, you will never find yourself. If you love yourself, that should be enough, yes we do look for acceptance in society today. But your own opinion should be the only opinion that is relevant in the decisions you…

    Why Women Smile

    Not everyone I know is keen on this. My smile has gleamed like a cheap plastic night-light so long and so reliably that certain friends and relatives worry that my mood will darken the moment my smile dims. "Gee," one says, "I associate you with your smile. It's the essence of you. I should think you'd want to smile more!" But the people who love me best agree that my smile which springs forth no matter where I am or how I feel-hasn't been serving me well. Said my husband recently, "Your smiling face and unthreatening demeanor make people like you in a fuzzy way, but that doesn't seen'; to be what you're after these days."…

    About Myself

    In 1914, World War I began and was commonly referred to around the world as “The War To End All Wars” and “The Great War”. As volunteers for the war ran out, the government had to go into a draft. As names were getting pulled, the soon to be soldiers were being pulled out as just a number, not even a name. Following the conclusion of World War I was the emergence of The Great Depression. “Millions of people were out of work, and there was an alarming concern for the elderly and retired Americans who had lost everything. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the original Social Security Act into law. At that time, the US was just beginning to recover from the Great Depression and the program was intended to be -and essentially still is today - a social insurance program. It is a government-run program providing economic security to our citizens” (“Social”). In E.B. White 's “About Myself”, it can be seen how White viewed numbers as dehumanizing. Today, our numbers seem as secretive as our fingerprints. We buy shredders to obliterate any papers with the very numbers White puts out for all to see: "My social security number is 067-01-9841. I am married to US Woman Number 067-01-9807.” In "About Myself" E.B. White satirizes the American government in order to persuade American citizens to stop describing people using numbers because it is dehumanizing.…

    Desiderata: Essential Facts of Life

    It is important to appreciate life. People shouldn’t always try to be better than others because “If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter.” Trying to compete with others will just make life more difficult. It’s possible to gain enemies by always comparing one’s self to another. When I was singing in the Gospel Company, I was a lead singer. There was a girl in my class who would always try to compete with my for a solo that was already given to me. She would compare her voice to mine. She would snap because I would always…
