...Tennis as a spectator sport Tennis: Its Time for War! Arguably the most popular life-long sport, tennis, in its true context is not merely the friendly game that is perceived by its spectators. Spectators are oblivious to its heart-crunching reality. To uncover the truth beneath the surface, spectators must become players and participate. Only then will their dream world be pulled from their eyes and unmask the brutality, the evilness, and the hatred that is pumping in a tennis players mind. The game of tennis is no more than an all out war. Tennis is a duel, a battle of skill and determination between two cherished friends or, perhaps, competitive rivals. Once on the court, though, the mentality of the players transforms from mellow human beings to war machines from hell. Its a tournament to the death. The winner is he/she that has survived to proclaim his/her glory of victory. The winner receives that extraordinary boost of ego and pride that all humans yearn for. These two attributes mutate the winner into the ultimate warrior, the supreme tennis player. The battlefield is where it all happens ;the tennis court. Whether natural or synthetic, players adapt to the surroundings to gain the advantage for victory. The tennis racket, a tennis players almighty weapon, bestowed upon them by the great sports manufacturers to wreak havoc and eliminate the competition. Along with their medium of attack, the tennis ball, tennis warriors engage in a battle that will ultimately determine...

...Case Application More Than A Good Story 1. Case Application More Than a Good Story 1. Jake and Rocket a cartoon guy and his cartoon dog, can be found on most of the apparel and other branded products sold by the Life is Good Company. With his perky beret (or other appropriate head gear), Jake has that contended look of being able to enjoy life as it is and finding reasons to be happy right now, and Rocket? Well he is just happy to be along for the ride. And what a ride it‟s been for the two! They‟ve been part of the company growth to over $100 million in revenues. Company co-founders and brothers, Bert and John Jacobs have a personal and Business philosophy much like Jake; simplicity, humor and humility. However both understand that even this philosophy they need to be good managers throughout the organization in order to stay successful. 2. Bert and John designed their first tee shirts in 1989 and sold them door-to- door in college dorms along the East Coast and in Boston where they‟d set up shop using an old card table in locations on one way streets so they could pick up and move quickly if they needed to. They used this simple approach because like many young entrepreneurs, they couldn‟t afford required business licenses. Although they met a lot of wonderful people and heard a lot of good stories during those early years, sales weren‟t that great. As the company legend goes, the brothers “lived on peanut butter and jelly, slept in their beat-up van, and showered when they...

...Mass marketing is a market coverage strategy in which a business decides to ignore market segment differences and appeal the whole market with one offer or one strategy. The idea is to broadcast a message that will reach the largest number of people possible. Traditionally mass marketing has focused on radio, television and newspapers as the media used to reach this broad audience. By reaching the largest audience possible exposure to the product is maximised. In theory this would directly tie in with a larger number of sales or buys into the product. Mass marketing is the opposite of Niche marketing as it focuses on high sales and low prices. Mass Marketing aims to provide products and services that will appeal to the whole market which I believe is why it’s viable to use this marketing technique. Whereas Niche marketing targets a very specific segment of market for example specialized services or goods with few or no competitors, therefore won’t benefit as much as Mass Marketing will. The Advantages of Mass Marketing • Wide audience – Since the target audience is broad, the number of successful hits is high despite of the low probability of a single person turning up. • Less risky – If all the efforts in one particular area go in vain, still the eventual loss is compared to a loss in the narrowly focused area. • Production costs per unit are low on account of having one production run for homogeneous product • Marketing research cost and advertising cost are relatively...

...Abraham Lincoln sprang to the presidency from extremely humble and tragic roots. His father, Thomas, and his mother, Nancy, were both illiterate. When Abraham was young, he had a sister who died as an infant and a brother who died as a boy. When Abraham was nine years old, his mother tragically died, leaving him in the care of only his father, who, within the year of his wife’s death, remarried a widow, Sarah Bush Johnston. Sarah was extremely kind to Lincoln and encouraged his developing love of reading, giving him three books, a treasure of immeasurable value to a boy who loved to read in a place where books were scarce (nps.gov). Because of the financial state of the family, Lincoln was forced to self-educate, and in 1836, Lincoln had educated himself so well that he was eligible to become a lawyer. The very same year, Lincoln moved to Springfield, Illinois, and became a lawyer, working for John T. Stuart (White, pp. 71, 79,108). Lincoln was such a gifted attorney, that only ten years after entering the field, he was elected into the United States Congress. However, in 1849, he left congress in the hope that he would receive an appointment from the Taylor administration because of his tireless promotion of the election. He was, however, denied any position, and returned to his law firm where he worked with great fervor (Lamb, Swain, pp. 3-10). Lincoln worked tirelessly as a lawyer until he ran for the presidency in 1858. After losing the election to his rival, Stephen Douglas...

Jusko, ‘di pa ako handa masunog. Madami pa akong pangarap. Gusto ko pa maging isang sikat na model. Lord, help us please. Gusto ko pa makapiling sina Mommy at Kean. At gusto ko pa pong makilala ang magiging future boyfriend ko, wag po muna ngayon. “HAHAHAHAHA!” Napalingon ako sa kapatid ko, why he is laughing? Nasunugan na nga kami tumatawa pa sya, pambihira. Bago pa kami masunog hinigit ko na sya. “Ate, urgh! Ano bang kabaliwan yang ginagawa mo? Wag mo nga kong higitin.” Ano bang problema nito?

...Once upon a time, there was a little boy named John who loves to make fun of others. When he sees people with disabilities, he automatically makes fun of them, laugh at them and even give them names. One day, when John was strolling around his village, he saw a group of 5 disabled persons. One is a cripple, two are blinds and two are deaf and mute. He keeps laughing while pointing at them. "HAHAHAHAHA! You're the reason why our country's economy dont go up. You five cant do anything good for the country" then he left. The cripple heard everything and whispered "From now on, you will experience how it is like to be one of us. You will be blind, deaf, mute, and cripple" The next day, John tried to call his mom but no voice came out. He cant speak becuase no voice is coming out of his mouth.

...KUAILE HANYU IN SHANGHAI “The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.” ~Benjamin Disraeli I can still remember the time when my Principal told me the good news that I will be the one to represent our school for Special Program in Mandarin Language, I was so shocked and did not expect it. Why? I was a newbie in our school and do not have the experiences unlike the teachers around me. But as the quote stated above, when opportunity comes, grab it. And that has made all the difference in my teaching career. This amazing and once in a lifetime opportunity to be here in Shanghai, China is one of the best and most unforgettable experience I will forever cherish in my life. To be able to work with awesome and wonderful co-teachers and Chinese teachers as well is indeed such a blessing. I’ve learned so much from them, from teaching expertise to strategies, values and words of wisdom; these strives me to be more productive and excellent teacher in my field. Indeed, learning a new language is difficult more so if you have to adapt their culture and ways of living. But I can say that because of the hospitality, care and support of the Chinese mentors and tutors to us, it made our journey here so easy, comfortable and we feel at ease all the time. There are many memorable moments that I will never forget while staying in Shanghai. First is the cold-freezing temperature in China that I’ve never experienced...
