...difficult job because he will find an easy way to do it” -Bill Gates. When most people think about laziness they think of it as a negative thing. But can it also be a positive thing? Christopher Morley wrote “On Laziness” to argue that laziness can lead to success in multiple people. Morley begins building this essay with multiple examples of people becoming successful, his personal experience of being called lazy, and his personal feelings of being lazy; however he didn’t use any facts for his feeling, and didn’t use very popular people for his examples. Throughout his essay he uses a lot of examples of people who have become successful from being lazy and appeals slightly to ethos. One thing he says is “The laziest man we know-we do not like to mention his name, as the brutal world does not yet recognize sloth at its community value -is one of the greatest poets in this country; one of the keenest satirists; one of the most rectilinear thinkers.” Although he is using examples of people becoming successful he’s not using well known people that the readers might possibly look up to. He also uses another example and says “Doctor Johnson, who...

...Personal Responsibility Cheryl Rose GEN/200 April 2, 2012 Personal Responsibility Personal responsibility is paramount for college success for several reasons. As a student who does not take ownership or responsibility of his actions, but instead finds excuses or points his finger at others for his accountabilities, he may want to rethink the long journey he has ahead. Without responsibility for an individuals’ own success, he will need to reconsider his yearning to attend college. Taking Ownership Although the degree of personal responsibility may vary among individuals, it is important to recognize that each individual must take ownership for his actions and behaviors as success is dependent on the individual. An important strategy for students is to take ownership of his success while attending college. For those individuals who do not take ownership of his actions or behaviors, there may be consequences to pay. As Denis Waitley stated “A sign of wisdom and maturity is when you come to terms with the realization that your decisions cause your rewards and consequences. You are responsible for your life, and your ultimate success depends on the choices you make.” My personal responsibility will include time management, collaboration, and a positive attitude. Responsibility Whereas personal responsibility must start with us as individuals, one must also note the importance of personal responsibility in a team environment. Personal responsibility...

...Was IPL well marketed ?? Even in the earlier avatars of IPLs, there have been attempts to present IPL more as an experience rather than just a sport. It had been made a confluence of Hollywood, Bollywood, Dance, Drama, flesh and obviously cricket too. The huge spending by broadcasters to make IPL a success has been consistent year on year. The effort made to convert IPL an Indian version of European league has been a success to some extent. It contains all the element of entertainment that an audience can ask for. Now recently the stage performances by various artists have also started catering to this kind of need of entertainment. Though I believe, catering to the need of particular segment many a times, the marketing efforts have been gone to too much length than actually needed. As have been observed, skimpily dressed cheerleader and their dances are not much welcome to traditional society like India, where entire family watches TV together and still such a show of exuberance combined with excessive show of flesh is generally a taboo. IPL has successfully poached into viewership of TV soaps, as it was a welcome change and affect created was of mirth and merry and welcome break from Saas-Bahu’s painful saga. IPL has been successful in bringing the entire family together as it has something for everyone These classes of people, who want to see cricket along with entertainment rather the other way around, have been dithering away from this new genre of cricket.
