...try to change and what they should do to overcome the fear.) Thesis Statement: As we see the characters, Wallace and Ronald Pryzbylewski in the Wire, overcoming fear can be a first step to change. (Introduction: This paragraph explains what I will cover in my writing.) People do not change easily. Many people fall in love with similar people and hurt because of similar reasons. They recognize their mistakes, but make the same mistakes over and over again. Why? One reason is they are doing it wrong. But another reason runs deeper. They are afraid to change. The decided personality is not changed easily like the foot stamp on the wet cement. Although the reasons for resisting change can be external and situational, I claim that the most damaging fears are internal because the individual is with the problem and situation. As we see the characters, Wallace and Ronald Pryzbylewski in the Wire, overcoming fear can be a first step to change. Four of the most prevalent common fears are: fear of failure, fear of success, fear of criticism, and fear of the new thing. (Give two examples that whether overcome the fears or not. These three example paragraphs show how they overcome the fears and how to change or not.) Here are examples from the Wire, the TV show. One is the person who overcome the fear, Ronald Pryzbylewski, and another is the person who does not overcome the fear, Wallace. Pryzbylewski is fit in two types of fears, fear of failure and criticism. Wallace is also fit in...

...There is something in all of us that gets through any hardship we may face in our lives. It helps us overcome failures and setbacks. It makes or breaks the habits in failure and success, and it applies to all of us. It is a need we all have in our lives. It is the need for courage. “That's why courage is tricky. I mean any fool can have courage. But honor, that's the real reason you either do something or you don't. It's who you are and maybe who you want to be. If you die trying for something important, then you have both honor and courage, and that's pretty good. I think that's what the writer was saying. That you should hope for courage and try for honor. And maybe even pray that the people telling you want to do have some too.(Atom 1)” This clearly sums up how you define courage, in my opinion. With courage comes honor. When you face your obstacles knowing that they’re going to be hard or tricky, or break a habit that is courage. Although, when you do them the right way and come out on top. That is truly an honor. A person who never...

...Erickson’s underlying principles of his theory were to fully understand and grasp how the human’s behavioral developments develop. And it also explains at what stage in their lives people start to assess certain feelings, virtues and challenges about their own lives. For example developing an identity for yourself, loving someone and knowing if you lived a meaningful life to be remembered for who you are and what you have done. Stage 1: Trust VS. Mistrust. As an infant comes into the world helpless and defenseless, they depend on their parents guardians or caregivers to take care of the. For the first two years of their lives its beneficial to learn that the parents/ caregivers can be trusted for their needs to be met. When a child is properly cared for the child develops a sense of trustworthiness for the world. If this stage is completed with success the child will blossom with a virtue of hope. If a child is robbed of this experience they would go through life having trust issues. For the child to overcome this they must learn that the initial person who betrayed their trust for example their parent, they must learn to slowly get to know who a person is and be treated how their parents should’ve gained their trust by always trusting a person will come back, tell truth and stay with them. Stage 2: Autonomy VS. Shame As the infant enters their toddler years they become more independent, as they enter this stage they want to make more choices that influence their lives. Such...

BAHAROM ESSAY ON SOFTWARE FAILURE (FAILURE OF RADIATION-THERAPY MACHINE) SOFTWARE FAILURE IN RADIATION THERAPY MACHINE Computer programmers spend a lot of time debugging software, yet end users like us still encounter bugs or problem while using those software. Computers bugs can result in many errors including unexpected program crashes or even can result in many troubles such as lost cost, reputation of the software product or even life. There are many software failures out there that we can find and learn from their mistakes. This is what happens at National Cancer Institute, Panama City on November 2000 which at least has eight unluckily patients die, while another 20 receive overdose concerned will get risk of health problems or serious complications from radiation. Twelve years ago, Victor Garcia considers himself lucky to be alive which a combination of cancer and miscalculation almost killed him. The software which created by Multidata System International, a U.S firm get trouble due to limitations of the computer program that guided use of a radiation-therapy machine. It is also miscalculates the proper dosage of radiation for patients undergoing radiation therapy. In order to use this software, it is allows a radiation therapist to draw on a computer screen then the placement of metal shields called...

...or failure of a process. Many factors also exist, which affect the outcome of any process. One factor is bottleneck, which is any resource whose capacity is less than the demand placed upon it (Chase, Jacobs, & Aquilano, 2006, p. 725). A bottleneck is a constraint within the system that limits throughput. The subject in this paper is the process of driving the children to school. In this paper the subject will write the paper based on data collected on the process. The subject will also identify and discuss the main bottleneck in this process while applying Goldratt’s theory of constraints to identify and overcome process bottlenecks. The Process The process of driving the children to school is very tedious. Many factors make the process very hard to complete daily. Some factors are the traffic, weather, accidents, and timing. Many of these factors can cause a hindrance to the process. The weather is a factor could be rainy or snow, which would cause the worst problem. The weather can lead to many things such as accidents, timing, driving speed, and traffic. In this case the weather and speed is the most important factors that would affect the others such as accidents, traffic, and timing. Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints One of the main process bottlenecks in driving the children to school is speed. Speed is a bottleneck because of its high priority level. Speed determines how the car is moving and how rapid the children make it to school. Depending on how the...

Select and explain a tool or technique that can be used by the restaurant for continuous improvement Quality is something customers crave for and what business pursue. Therefore managing the quality of products and services is very important to ensure that the management can be measured using different tools. This helps to improve the quality of the products and services to meet its standard. Below here is one of the tools used to measure quality management. FISHBONE DIAGRAM The fishbone diagram is used to identify all of the contributing roots causes likely to be causing a problem. This can be used when identifying possible causes for a problem especially when a team’s thinking tends to fall into ruts. For example the problems faced for Mr. Mahmud restaurant are such as lack of focus, lack of resources, low in delivery and training. All this problems and there effects can be drawn using a fishbone diagram as below: Lack of resources Lack of resources Lack of focus Lack of focus Demand and patterns lack of quality control Product failure Product failure Creating uncertainty Motivation communication with food runners Variable skill levels High employees Delivery Delivery Timing of course Delays Training employers Training employers A fishbone diagram has a central spine running left to right, around which is built a map of factors...

...personal responsibility is up to them and no one else. Often failure is inevitable along the journey of success, by recognizing mistakes he or she will have a greater chance of achieving their goals. Success can be achieved with determination, support and luck. We tend to point the finger elsewhere and refuse to take responsibility for failures. Personal responsibility is only accepting that you are to blame for your failures. As noted by (Stack n.d.), “When we like how things are turning out, it’s quite easy to say that we are responsible for our success. But when things aren’t so good, we’re so quick to point fingers at other people and place the blame on them” (par. 2). Accepting the failures and downfalls we experience while in school may be one of the hardest things to overcome. People do not like to admit when they fail and make errors. When those failures are apparent, we rationalize “it is not my fault.” These failures can include incomplete homework, missing class, and possibly dropping out. We love to place blame on the uncontrollable when we fail, ultimately we are responsible for our actions. Responsibility can demonstrate where priorities lie and what goals are more important. Responsibility comes with the notion that we have the freedom to make our own choices. With freedom at our disposal, do we choose to study and finish our homework or party and stay out late? Those decisions can have huge implications on how our academic career plays out. The moment we decide that...

...Rising up from failures and avoiding it III. How can one rise up from those failures? How can one avoid it? Failing in college could be frustrating and sometimes we lose our self - confidence by telling ourselves that we are not intelligent and we are often discouraged. According to Matthew Bass, “Failure is simply a stepping-stone on your way to success” (Matthew Bass). Failing is never a hindrance for our success. It may let us down and make us hopeless at first, but if we try again and come up with a plan, everything will work out in the end and obtain success. Students need to know that successful people experienced failure and kept on redoing and continuing until they obtain success (John Merrow). Failing isn’t a time to give up. Instead, it should be time where we should be improving our educational habits and allocating more time to study. How you deal with failure will determine not only your future success, but how easy it will be to achieve (Matthew Bass). How you responding and making an action on your failures would be the first steps on rising up from failure and avoiding it. According Mickey Rooney, who writes practical articles about life, skills, and success said that there are 7 powerful tips to rise from failure: First, Rise up and don’t regret; you have spent...

...Failure is inevitable. However, it can lead to success if you have the strength and determination to overcome failure and adversity. If Henry Ford had given up after his first two failures, the ford motor company may not exist today. Personally, my failure is less extreme compared to Ford’s. However, it’s a failure i’ve faced most of my school life. This past year is when my weakness in math took its biggest hit. Throughout my high school career I always made good grades in math, but it took a lot of studying and help from my teachers. However this past year, I was placed in a class with a teacher who expected me to teach myself; coming from a family of teachers I struggled to understand her definition of “teaching.” The first nine weeks was...

But even after attending over 25-30 job interviews, the best job he was offered was of sales executive with a “CTC” of rupees 2.5 lakh per annum but having fixed salary component of less than 10,000 rupees a month. Most of us reading this true story will perceive the reason for Rajesh’s problem to be “Lack of skills or knowledge”. However the careful analysis leads us to a completely different perspective of the situation. The actual problem with Rajesh was that while his ambitions were high, he was not well prepared to handle failures. In fact his high ambitions made each failure appear bigger in his self appraisal....

...In the period 44bc to 31bc, how easily had Augustus overcome the difficulties he faced in gaining power? Augustus acquisition and consolidation of power can be split in three stages, the era from March 44BC to October 42BC sees a fairly easy yet fortunate gaining of power wherein he secured funds, military support and successfully outmaneuvered the senate and Antony. The period from October 42BC to 34BC sees Augustus face much greater difficulty in gaining power, his rivals in the Triumvirate as well as domestic troubles in Rome such as need for Veteran land and Sextus' piracy. In the final stage from the donations of Alexandria in 34BC to Actium in September 31BC, Octavian overcomes his difficulties with ease within the final three years, using propaganda, his allies, Antony’s failings and his auctoritas to overcome difficulties, gaining great power with great ease. Octavian easily overcomes the difficulties he faced within the years 44BC to 42BC. Octavian received three quarters of the inheritance of Julius Caesar, as well as being proclaimed his heir and adopted son. This is essential in understanding how Octavian was capable of securing support in the early years of his political career. This allows him to overcome his first difficult of financing military pursuits, in which the name could be used to borrow much of the coin needed. Furthermore, Octavian Caesar attracted many veterans previously loyal to Julius Caesar, who supported the name of Caesar...

...Four Types of Distributed Computer System Failures University of Phoenix August 19, 2013 David Conway Four Types of Distributed Computer System Failures This paper will discuss four common types of distributed computer system failures which are Crash failures also known as operating system failures, Hardware Failures, Omission Failures and Byzantine Failures. Included in the discussion are failures which can also occur in a centralized computer system, and how to isolate and repair two types of failures. Crash failures are normally associated with a server fault in a typical distributed system. Inherently crash failures are interrupt operations of the server and can halt operation for a considerable time (Projects Helper, 2012).Operating system failures are the best examples for this scenario. Operating System or software failures come in many more varieties than hardware failures. Software bugs in distributed systems can be difficult to replicate and, consequently, repair and or debug. Corresponding fault tolerant systems are developed and employed with respect to these affects. An operating system or software failure can also occur in a centralized system such as a data base this is why it is highly recommended to back up a data base using stable mass storage media (Projects Helper, 2012). We have an extensive...

...Vaca” is a story about how to get rid of those habits, excuses and beliefs that keep us bound to mediocrity. The book begins with a story of a family with eight members living in the state of poverty in a small village in the middle of a vacant lot. All they had was an old house about to collapse and a cow, which gave them poor but nutrient milk. That cow was all that separated them from the absolute misery. One day the cow dies and the family was left with nothing, in total ruin. After that tragic moment, their luck began to change, and they themselves decided to change. First they cleared the space in their house and harvesting vegetables and then selling them to neighbors and even a market place. The family’s income started to increase and they started to dressed better, they fixed their house and they realized that their life could change, even with no cow around. Through its nine chapters, the book gives us clear and concrete examples of people that were holding on to “cows”, which symbolize fears, negative thoughts and comfort zone, and how they came to realize that they could overcome these “cows” and achieve success. Each and every one of us have cows in our lives. We tow our beliefs that sometimes parents impose to us or we use excuses and justifications that keep us tied to a life of mediocrity. We have cows that do not let us seek better opportunities, grow and become better individuals. The story of the cow is a story that teaches and explains how to free ourselves...
