...Introducing the “Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens” (by Sean Covey) Habit 1 – Take responsibility for your life (Be Proactive) Defective Habit: Be Reactive Blame all of your problems on your parents, your stupid teachers, your lousy neighborhood, your boy-or girlfriend, the government, or something or somebody else. Be a victim. Take no responsibility for your life. Act like an animal. If someone yells at you, yell back. If you feel like doing something you know is wrong, just do it. ( in the book the Covey talks about humans having self-awareness, a conscience, an imagination whereas animals do not – there is a nice example comparing a dog’s thoughts to a human’s thoughts) Effective Habit: Be Proactive I am the force. I am the captain of my life. I can choose my attitude. I am responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness. I am in the driver’s seat of my destiny, not just a passenger. Scene One: You overhear your best friend bad-mouthing you in front of a group. She doesn’t know you overheard the conversation. Just five minutes ago, this same friend was sweet-talking you to your face. Reactive Choices 1. Tell her off and then smack her. 2. Go into a deep depression because you feel so bad about what she said. 3. Decide that she is a two-faced liar and give her the silent treatment for 2 months. 4. Spread vicious rumors about her. After all, she did it to you. Proactive Choices 1. Confront her and calmly share...

Examples of Social Networking Sites are Facebook, Twitter, Friendster, Yahoo Messenger, Plurk, Tumblr.

Through these SNS, how it will affect the reading interest of fourth year high school students in Mabini Colleges. Social network theory differs from traditional sociological studies. In traditional theories, attributes of individual actors are assumed to matter the most.

...Andreia Isabela P. Dita F2-6 Reaction Paper Farsighted Purpose “Interior Design” is a segment of a three-film movie directed by Michel Gondry. (Dagdagan pa about sa director). The story begins with the arrival of a young filmmaker, Akira and his girlfriend, Hiroko in Tokyo, Japan to find stable careers. Akemi, Hiroko's old friend, gave a hand and offered them her apartment until they have enough money to accommodate for their own. As Akira starts to become obsessed with his ambition to become a successful filmmaker, it's Hiroko who is having a hard time in knowing her purpose and goals in life. Until one morning she woke up with a very strange physical changes that made the story unusual and extraordinary. The story shows an economic issue that gives me the idea of what it feels like to be a “small fish in a big pond”. When the young couple moved to Tokyo, they struggled in coping up with how people live there. Because they don't have enough money to accommodate their own apartment, Akira and Hiroko searched for a part-time job. But sadly, it was Akira who was hired at the wrapping store. This pushed Akira to do his best and earn money for them to put up their own apartment and for their future. He used his job as a stepping stone in reaching his dream of becoming successful filmmaker and also proved that he can also be one of those successful filmmakers in Tokyo. Social issue was also tackled in the film. There was a part when Hiroko heard Akemi and her boyfriend...

...Coco Q: How does the character of Jack help bringing out the comical aspect of the other characters (Algernon, Lady Bracknell and Gwendolen) in act 1? Jack, as the central character of the play, plays an important role of comic-bringer. His characteristics, quotes, even his deceptions all entertain the readers, and helps the readers to explore the comical aspects of other characters as going through Act 1 deeper and further. At the very beginning of Act 1, Jack starts to bring out the comical aspects of Algernon as he visits Algernon’s house and tells him that he’s going to propose to Gwendolen. As Jack said “I have come up to town expressly to propose to her.”, Algy denies his opinion with a scornful and playful tone “I thought you had come up for pleasure? I call that business.” “I really don’t see anything romantic in proposing… If I get married, I’ll certainly try to forget the fact.” Algernon’s opinion towards marriage is desperate and absurd. However, Jack’s viewing on the opposite, and revealingly complaining “How utterly unromantic you are!” These two young men’s different view on marriage creates strong sense of humor, their arguments towards marriage also bring their comical aspects to the audience. Another comical aspect of Alernon is when he’s eating the cucumber sandwiches, which were prepared for Lady bracknell, he stopped Jack from taking one of the sandwiches, and suggested him to take some bread and butter. When Jack was puzzled, and asked for the reason,...

...Tutorial 2 Question: As a newly-appointed Project Manager of a research team, you believe that you will be able to manage the project virtually from your office in London, even though the other six members are located in Munich. This will solve your personal dilemma as your family does not want to be relocated. The project has a six-month deadline. What factors should you consider in order to make this virtual assignment effective? Answer: First of all, virtual assignments is where the employees and managers are located in different areas as in this case, the Project Manager’s office is in London whereas the other six team members are in Munich. Thus, the Project Manager has to rely heavily on communication technologies such as telephone, email or video conference. In my opinion, the factors that has to be taken into consideration include effective use of technology, invest time in building relationships and trust, provide specific intercultural training and arrange face-to-face meeting occasionally. To bring a success to virtual assignments, I will need to be aware of the full range of technology tools available to us and become practices and proficient in their use. Without familiarizing the technology, it is difficult for managers to keep in touch with the team and it might end up slowing down the team performance. For instance, it will be a waste of time discovering the function of Skype tools during the virtual meeting. Besides that, as a newly-appointed Project...

...Alexis Brown Mrs. Persichetti Chemistry 02 May 2011 Global Warming The Earth is warming and human activity is the primary cause. Climate disruptions put our food and water supply at risk, endanger our health, jeopardize our national security, and threaten other basic human needs. Impacts such as: record high temperatures, melting glaciers, and severe flooding and droughts, are becoming increasingly common around the world. In the movie, An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore discusses his efforts to make the issue of global warming a recognized problem worldwide. Al Gore, former U.S. Vice President, clearly states the current issues with the planet and explains if no changes are made soon, it will lead to disaster. In the beginning of Al Gore’s presentation, he displays one of the first pictures of earth from space; the moonlight provided enough light to be able to see a crisp and distinct picture of earth’s spherical shape. Topics such as: Infrared radiation, high temperatures and Carbon Dioxide remained the key points throughout the documentary. Infrared radiation, above average temperatures, and Carbon Dioxide are all causes or effects of global warming. Not only is infrared radiation harmful to the earth, but it can be beneficial as well. The same infrared radiation that destroys the beautiful ice caps in the artic is also responsible for keeping the earth's temperature relatively constant over time. The amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) intake has literally topped the charts....

...242 道Argument 题目的分析 1. Nature’s Way 论断：在Plainsville开店会赚钱。 ·赚钱的前提是收益高出成本，论断没有提供关于在此地开店的成本计算问题 ·那些参加健身活动的人不一定关心饮食健康，所以不必然地成为他们的顾客。 ·就算他们关心饮食健康，那么当地相同商家没有被考虑进去，竞争以及品牌忠实度的问题 ·他们在关心健康的地区赢利的原因没有说，健康也许不是他们的卖点，而是其它的东西结论：论断仅凭一个似是而非的经验和该地的一些表面现象就匆忙做出结论，缺乏说服力。在投资前，该机构应该做充分的市场调查，准确找出自己的优势，并分析当地投资环境、竞争对手、消费习惯等问题。 2. Deerhaven Acres homeowners 论断：统一外观就能提高地价 ·这是他人经验，尽管离得近，但是否适用于该地很可疑。论断没有就两地间在交通、功用以及住户特点等问题比较异同。做出结论显得匆促。 ·他地区地价提高并不一定是因为统一了外观。七年可发生很多变化，交通，商业区，社区内部设施提高了。论断显得片面(undue/one-handed)。 ·地价要提高得有更多人愿意住进来。统一外观抹杀个性，会引人反感。且不论统一的外观能不能得到所有人满意，这种做法本身有强制性。论断危险。结论：论断没有提供两地的异同，以及他地区统一外观后的七年里的变化就匆忙做出决定，必招致起住户的反对。他们应该做更多的调查研究，最主要的是听取住户的意见，以保证最起码不会有人因此而搬出去。 3. law firms in the city of Megalopolis 论断：大公司向毕业生提供更多福利、激励并减少工作时间，就能吸引毕业生前来工作。该论断的前提是与小公司相比，大公司虽然有高工资但不能提供高的工作满意度，从而失去了毕业生。 ·论断的前提可疑。即进大公司工作的毕业生少了15%是否是毕业生选择的问题，而不是大公司在录用时的问题。大公司的工作复杂，工资高，内部竞争厉害，很有可能是他们提高了门槛。 ·论断引用一个在大一学生里的调查作论据不合适。大一学生与毕业生之间的区别是显然易见的：专业知识少、思考问题不成熟、没有生存压力。更重要的是他们当时并不面临择业。 ·论断没有提供学生对所谓工作满意的内容应该包括哪些方面，是不是仅仅是福利激励以及工作时间少，还是还有其它内容，比如工资高、发展机会多、工作环境。如果这样，单纯论断并不必然提高工作满意从而吸引学生。小公司的确有优势是大公司没有的，比如工作环境简单，新人与老板之间的沟通，较早担任重担等等。结论：论断方法当然会增加一份工作的吸引力，但没有证据证明它们是最根本或最主要的原因。而且论断忽视了最根本的问题就是大公司的需求，另外应该调查更相关一些的人。 4. real estate firms --Adams Realty and Fitch Realty 论断：找Adams卖房快，房价好。因为A是最好的，它有更高的年收入，更多的代理，它卖的房子平均价高。而且本人前后9年的经历也证明了这一点。 ·论断很武断。找好的代理公司并一定能保证卖房快，房价好。房子本身的特点是最重要的。 ·论断提供的证据不足以说明A更好。年收入高，但员工多，平均下来很可能工作效率低。而 平均价格也没有说服力，大笼统，房子分类。 ·本人的经历忽视了一个很重要的问题，九年的时间，不仅房地产业会有很大变化，社会变化也会很大。科技的发展，社会需求的变化。另外他两处房子的差别。结论：论断看起来似乎很有条理，证据也很多。但结论却很武断，也很不工平。要评价...

...My portfolio in elementary algebra Submitted By: Valenzuela city science high school Submitted to: Mr.timothy a. acana Linear equations in two variables Forms for 2D linear equations Linear equations can be rewritten using the laws of elementary algebra into several different forms. These equations are often referred to as the "equations of the straight line." In what follows, x, y, t, and θ are variables; other letters represent constants (fixed numbers). General form where A and B are not both equal to zero. The equation is usually written so that A ≥ 0, by convention. The graph of the equation is a straight line, and every straight line can be represented by an equation in the above form. If A is nonzero, then the x-intercept, that is, the x-coordinate of the point where the graph crosses the x-axis (where, y is zero), is −C/A. If B is nonzero, then the y-intercept, that is the y-coordinate of the point where the graph crosses the y-axis (where x is zero), is −C/B, and the slope of the line is −A/B. Standard form where A and B are not both equal to zero, A, B, and C are coprime integers, and A is nonnegative (if zero, B must be positive). The standard form can be converted to the general form, but not always to all the other forms if A or B is zero. It is worth noting that, while the term occurs frequently in school-level US algebra textbooks, most lines cannot be described by such equations. For instance, the line x + y = √2 cannot be described by a linear...

...A Fable Ralph Waldo Emerson The mountain and the squirrel Had a quarrel And the former called the latter “Little Prig” Bun replied “You are doubtless very big; But all sorts of things and weather Must be taken in together To make a year, And a spear, And I think it no disgrace To occupy my place. If I’m not so large as you, You are not so small as I And not half so spry; I’ll not deny you make A very pretty squirrel track. Talents differ; all is well and wisely put; If I cannot carry forests on my back, Neither can you crack a nut.” The Prologue Geoffrey Chaucer When April with its showers sweet, The drought of March has pierced to the root, And bathed every vein in such liquor, Of whose magic engendered is the flower; And the wind with its sweet breath Has touched in every nook and corner The tender crops, and the young sun, Has half of his course run; The small birds make melody, So people long to go on pilgrimages. And especially from every shire Of England to Canterbury they go. The Knight Geoffrey Chaucer A knight there was and that a worthy man, That from the time that he first began To ride out, he loved chivalry, Truth and honor, freedom and courtesy. Full worthy was he in his Lord’s wars And even honored for his worthiness. Full many time at head of board he sat. And even more he earned his sovereign praise. And though he was worthy, he was modest And his bearing as meek as a maid. He never yet no villainy has said. He...
