coming around the corner‚ I can feel people’s tensions rise. I don’t see myself as the president of the U.S. There are a lot of pressures on them‚ especially when things go badly. I asked my friends what character trait that would make me a good president and they reported my willingness to always help others‚ leadership‚ trustworthiness‚ kindness‚ and determination. There are so many traits that make up a good president that there can’t possibly be only one. But the one that I see in myself is having

meaningful thing‚ because they need it to understand the experience in their life. In The Giver’s utopia‚ people don’t have any memory. As Jonas said‚ they can’t help it‚ they know nothing without memories. That’s the life created for the community. By the way‚ Jonas received the exactly memories from the Giver‚ there were pain‚ happiness‚ mad and so on. He noticed that his own community did not have memories. They even did not understand the experience in life. That’s truly sad. Love is a unique

Man I believe in the successful garbage man. This would be seen as a paradox to many people‚ however‚ the success does not come from financial gains but rather the level of happiness and self-fulfillment within the individual. I believe in the thirty year old married man who is content with working at an ice cream shop all day and finally coming home to a wife who loves him regardless of his line of work. I used to think this scenario could never happen because my mother would always tell me that

House I Live In was an amazing documentary. I was saddened to hear Nannie’s story and the stories of others that I witnessed in the film. I was blown away by how much the war on drugs is really a war on blacks more than anything else. It disgusted me to see the stereotyping of blacks by police officers under the guise of "probable cause." The police aren’t about doing real police work‚ only placing cuffs on blacks and low-income civilians and sending them to jail. It’s mind blowing to me how much

There are some really big opportunities here for innovation‚ from convenient micro-payments‚ to transportation ticketing‚ payments to street stall vendors‚ and pocket-money for the kids. Some innovations are already seeing their way into the wilds‚ but mostly these are a technological twist on existing concepts. Contactless payments using near-field communication technology (NFC) makes for a nicer experience – tap and go – but are‚ at the end of the

--- I bought a 2017 MacBook Pro: did I make a mistake? Well‚ the answer is a resounding NO! I don’t consider it a mistake looking at the current scenario and the pace with which technology is progressing these days.

I Never Thought I Would Do It As any other high school kid‚ I had very uncertain thoughts about going to college and about what career path I wanted choose. There was really not one specific major that captured my attention. I always said I wanted to be a professional baseball player‚ but also had this curiosity of what it would be like to be in the military. I was very attracted by the way they conducted themselves with such professionalism‚ and how everyone granted them so much respect. Although

3/7/2013 This I Believe II Failure is something no one likes. I have learned over the years that failure is perceived as a bad thing. No one ever told me failure could be taken as a good thing. That was until I read a story in This I Believe II. The author explained why he liked failure and why failure could be a good thing. Forgiveness is something everyone should learn. Many people in our lives may do wrong to us and if we hold on to the hurt and anger we will never find happiness. I was one of

Many articles have been published in many journals and newspapers of the western world (mainly the USA‚ UK and Australia) saying prison only makes a person worse yet no complaint of the method has come from the less liberal eastern societies; this only proves how in countries where the rights of humans are valued such issues as if prisons only make people worse are important and relevant to keeping fair to all
