...pretty much summarized these tips into like 3 main principles. I hope that you enjoy this monologue and lets get started. 1.KEEP YOURSELF IN A POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT So the first thing is to make sure you’re in a positive environment/positive atmosphere where you are sleeping,where youre working and living. That could be like Your appartment, your room, your desk and office space. It’s important to make sure that you are enjoying being in that space, so – is it clean?is it organized? Does it look aesthetically pleasing? I personally like to keep everthing organized and clean , and I feel like that just makes everything look prettier so then when I’m walking by s.th. I’m like „oh that looks really nice!“ It makes you feel better when you’re in a space that is aesthetically pleasing,right? So maybe put flowers in your room if you want to, put a nice colour on the wall or put quotes around you,put pictures of your family and friends around you – just make your space beautiful and positive! And that also goes for music like listen to good music, music always makes me feel good, so I always like to have music on. And if you have anything thats like negative in your room whether that be like a picture of someone that you maybe dont get along with anymore –get rid of that old stuff, because of course you want to be in a positive atmosphere. Maybe theres a few quotes that you like that you might wanna frame in or write down somewhere that you can see it,...

How do you interpret the reliability of results for the clerical test and work sample? Are they favorable enough for phonemin to consider using them for keeps in selecting job applicants? My answer to this question is that looking at the various components of the evaluating process of the test results, it seems that the results of the clerical test results seem to make some sense .I understand that sometimes people term to get nervous at the begging of a test but once they get used to it and get settle that nervousness is reduced and the person is able to do well.

...A seminar was conducted about marriage. At first I was skeptical about the marriage seminar idea because at first we were required to attend, second of all I didn’t know who the speakers were, and last at that time of the day my attention was very slim because of the hussle and bustle of school works. Upon entering the auditorium, I was expecting a marriage councilor or a parish priest to give the talk, but to my surprise it was a couple. They began the seminar by introducing themselves as a couple who has been married for a very long time. Well to me, at least the seminar conductors were experienced and they know what they will be taking about during the seminar. Also, they told us that they conduct the seminar yearly in Don Bosco for a consecutive 8 years already. Upon hearing this, I had a lot of expectations already even before the seminar started. So the seminar started about the whole background of marriage. Of course, there were several scenarios where there are a lot of reasons why a person should or should not get married in the first place. The first thing I remember they told us when they began the seminar is that marriage is not an event, it’s a lifetime commitment. To me the statement wasn’t really a surprise. Being a born-again Christian, I was exposed to the do’s and don’ts of having a relationship. In the seminar, they told us that building a relationship we should always consider marriage. That our reasoning and actions should always lead to a proper and God...

...Importance Of Effective Communication In Marriage A good conversation involves giving the other person your undivided attention. This will help you bond more. While the euphoria of marriage may evaporate after a few years, friendship between you and your mate will last a lifetime. You feel more connected to each other because you share each others’ thoughts and dreams. This will make sure that the bond you share is strong and that you know your spouse as you know yourself. Apart from being a good listener, when there is good communication, you get your thoughts and feelings heard and respected. This can lead to higher comfort levels within the marriage, and room for misunderstandings is reduced. Good communication is very vital to resolve problems and issues. Left unresolved, small problems can snowball into a major issue that could crush your marriage. Many relationship counselors say that most issues that they deal with in shaky marriages could have been resolved with good communication. In some cases, lack of communication can even lead to the point of separation or divorce. You get to discuss and explore solutions to problems when you have good communication. This ensures that you and your mate deal with the problem hand in hand. In this way, you not only resolve the problem, but when you do so together, you will be drawn closer together. You and your spouse get to understand each other more, each time you communicate with each other. This goes a long way to prevent...

...Good or Bad Hypocrisy is to claim to have certain moral behaviors, but the person speaking of the behaviors does not enforce them on himself. In today’s society, many arrogant individuals feel that making themselves seem better than the rest of the crowd causes people to look up to them. In reality, the crowd actually believes that they are foolish. In the story, “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor, the author addresses the consequences of poor judgment and how this leads to the death of the main character. The grandmother attempts to talk her son and his wife into going to Tennessee instead of Florida because a man called the misfit has escaped prison. After they stop at the tower and speak with the owner, Red Sam, the grandmother remembers an old plantation that she would like to see again, and she even exaggerates about the house so her son will stop by. After having an accident on the dirt road leading to the plantation, the grandmother realizes the house is actually in Tennessee. The spoiled old lady waves down a car for help, and the people in the vehicle turn out to be the misfit and his henchmen. She makes a mistake by announcing that she knows who they are. As a result, the misfit and his crew kill her and the rest of the family, leaving her last to die. Through the author’s use of tone, symbolism, and characterization, O’Connor proves that labeling someone as “good” is only true if he has morals and grace, not selfishness and blindness. The grandmother...

...The word utopia "comes from the Greek: οὐ ("not") and topos ("place") and means "no-place", and...in standard usage, the word's meaning has narrowed and now usually describes a non-existent society that is intended to be viewed as considerably better than contemporary society." Dystopia, on the other hand, is the direct opposite of utopia, and is used to describe a utopian society after things have gone diminished. The future based short story, “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut is based on a 'utopian society' where the world is living up to the idea of America’s fourteenth amendment in which everyone is created equal. The gifted, strong, intelligent, and beautiful are forced to wear handicaps of either earphones, heavy weights, or hideous...

...wants the critical acclaim, fame, or distinguish. Einstein once said "You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.” Who wants to lose? No one. Everyone wants to be a winner. Unfortunately, the world isn't full of winners. The world is full of people who learn the rules of the game and then conform themselves with just being good enough instead of being extraordinary. To me, Einstein was preaching that we're all pawns in the game of life and the way we move dictates our success. In my life, Einstein's words have been a private motto. For example, when I was awarded a full ride to UNC everyone accredited it to the fact that I...

...Everybody has their flaws but can they keep their emotions in one place. In The Crucible by Arthur Miller he ask how can our flaws lead to tragedy. Jealousy, and selfishness are some emotions that can lead to tragedy. Our emotions can take over and we can over think them or don't think at all which makes us go too far with what ever you are feeling. To really know how do human flaws lead to tragedy we need to have examples of real life flaws that happened. To start off with the examples never think that you are better than everyone else. Many things can go wrong with that. Most people think they are better than everyone else and they can for a bit but you never know if it will turn on you. You may think that, let's say that you audition for...

Imperfection is beauty.

...the goal of being ‘equal’. In today’s society everybody strikes to be the best, better looking and smarter than anybody else, and therefore the thought about living in a society where everyone is equal might sound tempting, if you find the race of being the best tiring. A lot of the things that most young people are struggling with right now might disappear. No more jealousy and at best no more war. There is often created a dystopian world, when humans are trying to make it a utopian one. The story about Harrison Bergeron concerns this issue. Everybody is equal, which might sound like a utopian world but in fact is a dystopian society to be living in. “The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the Law. They were equal in every which way. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else” The meaning of the word ‘equal’ has been taking to a whole new level and it is supposed to be making the society a better place, but in fact the thing it is doing, is controlling the citizens and taking away their freedom of thought, intellectual ability and their individual beauty and strength. An intelligent person like George is forced to wear a radio that keeps their minds on an average level. Every now and then he hears a loud buzzer sound, which is distracting him from all thoughts that might be more intelligent than allowed. When all of this gets taken away from you, it is like there isn’t much...

...so the cheerleader is cheering. The outsider or rebel typically sits there alone not joining in, doesn’t try to fit in to the group or conversation. The leader or Alpha is the one the final decision has to be approved by. They might not always be the spear head of the situation but before anything gets decide they need to give their approval for it to happen. Those are only six of the roles you can find yourself in, sometimes it’s based on your personality other times you’re just put in that role and just forced to make it happen. There sometimes can be more than one person in that role such as the joker or cheerleader they typically even find themselves becoming closer since they have that in common. However you can have more than one leader and usually if there is more than one critic they will just start attacking each other and brining even more of a conflict in the group. Just the same with trying to have more than one leader, there can always be a vice president but trying to have two presidents will always create some sort of division among the people in the group. Out of the roles I choose to...

...“Harrison Bergeron” illustrates a place where physical handicaps are used to limit people’s abilities. “And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear… Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains” (Vonnegut 3). By having this transmitter in his ear, George is unable to think properly, because someone who is smart is not allowed to use their brains more than others. Anthem, however, is different because they use punishment and fear to control their people. “And we stood in the great square… sent to behold the burning. They brought the transgressor out into the square and led him to the pyre. They had torn out the tongue of the transgressor so that they could speak no longer” (Rand 50). Equality explained how he witnessed a man burned at the stake because he had said the “Unspeakable Word.” This is like a warning to anyone who would think to disobey. This is different from “Harrison Bergeron” because the people in “Harrison Bergeron” just have to wear physical and mental handicaps. They way these societies are controlled are what make them different. Although both societies from “Harrison Bergeron”...
