...Elise Garcia 01.03 Assignment July 9, 2015 Dear President Barack Obama, I propose that you use your executive powers to create another holiday in this country. I would like to put forth the suggestion that a national holiday be created in honor of Jesse Jackson. A lot like you, Mr. Jackson was a junior senator before seeking to run for the presidency, although in his case the office of president will not likely be his legacy. It is for this reason and so many more that I think he deserves consideration for his own national holiday. Mr. Jackson represents Americanism, both in its roots; that which seeks to succeed against all odds, often with little more than sheer will to achieve a dream, as well as a more modern interpretation of success Jesse Jackson negotiated the release of 22 American’s in Cuba pursuant to an invitation by Fidel Castro. It is no coincidence that Castro believed Jesse Jackson was a man he could trust, in addition to having written to Castro on several occasions, he had been a longtime associate and protégée of Rev. Howard Schomer, a well known leftist and communist supporter. Mr. Jackson himself had a long history of association with international communist front organizations and terrorist groups. He also maintained a relationship with Hunter Pitts O’Dell whom Kennedy had urged Martin Luther King to distance himself from, due to his Communist Party Affiliation and key financial operative and party functionary with the communist party whom Jackson...

...True and False What exactly is the difference in love and lust? One would say love is a bond between two souls and lust is a connection of two people through a material object. In “The Snows of Kilimanjaro” written by Ernst Hemingway, Harry and his wife Helen have a very peculiar relationship. While trapped on the Mountain of Kilimanjaro, Harry has a severe case of gangrene in his leg and is practically immotile. He enters into a state of depression and bestows all negative feelings onto his wife. In the pit of Harry’s despair, he turns further away from Helen and shows the reader his true colors towards their relationship. He becomes undesirable, pessimistic and looks at nothing positive in his life. By doing this, he exemplifies the death-in-life aspects of his life and is negative in way that he has confronted his death earlier than anticipated in a most uncommon way. By doing so, he pushes Helen’s love aside and ignores her calls for sympathy. Helen stands by her husband, as any loving wife would do in an intense time, yet Harry denies the given love. Throughout Hemingway’s story Harry and Helen display two very different types of love for one another; love verses lust, these become apparent are shown through the progressive downward spiral of Harry's mental and physical digression. Harry gave up on his desire to live, long before his life was actually taken. At the beginning of the short story, Harry exemplifies a man in decline. Hemingway begins the story with Harry saying...

...ole of youth in oil conservation ”Under your shoulders. Dear young people of the entire world, weigh the responsibility to transform tomorrow's world into a society where peace, harmony and fraternity reign. “ - Bishop Carlos Belo Youth constitute about 40 percent of the total population of India. The youth of every country is its valuable human resource. The responsibility for change, progress and innovation lies on their shoulders. Youth can make or mar society. There has always been misunderstood by the elders. The elders feel that, being immature and inexperienced, the youth usually indulge in thoughtless activities. However, the youth have the zeal to initiate revolutions. Mao Tse Tung of China realized this latent power and dedication of youth of his country. He entrusted them with the responsibility of bringing about Cultural Revolution, a change in the attitude of the society. The youth of our country also played a significant role in the freedom struggle. Today the youth needs to play an important role in promoting oil conservation.

Such resources also include the oil resources such as petroleum and diesel which are essential resources for transportation but these resources are exploited today to extreme.

...300 SECRETS 1. A life is a terrible thing to waste. So easy to beat yourself up over mistakes you've made. So many amongst us live in the past rather than loving the present and building a brilliant future. First of all, no one tries to fail or mess things up. Every one of us wakes up in the morning, walks out into the world and does the best we can do based on what we know and the skills we have. But even more importantly, every so-called "mistake' is actually a rich source of learning. An opportunity to build more awareness and understanding and gain precious experience. Just maybe what we could call failures are actually growth lessons in wolf's clothing. And just maybe the person who experiences the most, wins. 2. A world-class company puts systems in place to ensure consistency of results. If you want to get something done and if you want to see consistent results, build a system around it. Celebrate the previous days wins and then rededicate to work for the mission. Systems‛ thinking builds structures into your life so that your best practices actually get integrated into your life. Systems allow you to live in a proactive rather than in a reactive way. And having a bunch of systems in place to keep you at your best doesn't mean that your life will be overly structured and full of stress Because nothing deprives a human being of happiness as much as seeing a life being wasted. 3. ABC. Always Be Connecting with everybody, everything around you. The best leaders build strong...
