...purposeless activities. If man takes care of his minutes then the hours and days will take care of themselves. Time is more precious than money. Time is universal and eternal. We all grow in time, live in time and ultimately perish in time. Time may not be defined exactly, but we all know what it is and how valuable. Our life is a bubble, a short morning dream, brittle as glass and, therefore, we should take good care of it and make the best use. We all want fame, success, happiness, and prosperity but only a few are able to achieve this because only they make the best use of their time. Time and tide wait for none. They cannot be commanded. They are to be used in the best possible manner. We should be prepared to make the best use of an opportunity when offered. Time once lost can never be recovered. The flow of time is ceaseless and eternal and we all are like small, insignificant and helpless particles in this endless and continuous flow. Time is destiny. It is more powerful than the most powerful monarchs, princes, and rulers. These come and go but time is forever, eternal, without an end, without any beginning. Time is creation, birth, growth, ageing, decay and also death. Nothing escapes time. Time is abstract but its footprints are concrete and palpable. Time may be spent wisely or foolishly. The choice is ours and so are its consequences. It is the basic building block that goes in making our success, career, happiness, and status in society....

...successful architecture firm, Tomorrow Planning, Inc. Tomorrow Planning, Inc. was established in 1999. The firm does Office and Industrial builds for the majority of their projects. The owner, Tom, graduated from the University of Michigan in 1983 with a BA of Science and Architecture. Tom never planned on being an entrepreneur, but said he was thrown into it when the company he interned for started to go downhill. “I was working for a development company called Midway Development Company in their architecture group (Midway Architectural Planning), and the day I moved (from Ypsilanti) to Dallas was the day the economy took a sharp turn down. There was a bunch of reasons for the economy going bad, the savings and loans crisis was the big one though, and almost immediately, Midway started laying people off.” he told me. Approximately one year after Tom started at Midway, the manager of Midway Architectural Planning left the company and Tom was approached, and offered the management position. Tom managed the architecture group for about 4 years, as more and more of his staff got laid off. In 1989, there was only 5 people left at Midway Architectural Planning, and not nearly enough projects to keep them all busy. Tom approached the managers at Midway Development Company, and discussed taking the remaining employees of the architecture group and starting his own company, which is what he did and started the Facilities Planning Group. Shortly after Tom started Facilities Planning...

...matters is a great way to feel accomplished and to give yourself more free time. As a new student and full time employee, setting goals, planning each week out and budgeting my time is an effective tool to use to complete course work in a timely manner. While doing my daily time log I realized that I don’t really waste as much time as I thought I did. I do spend a fair amount of time online, only after important tasks are completed. I did find that with my sleep patterns I lose valued time during the day. Another large chunk of my time each week is devoted to work. While doing my time log I did notice that I tend to multitask a lot. I find myself online while watching television, or cooking meals while cleaning the kitchen. I feel my ability to do such things will be very useful in all my daily tasks. By doing the time log I realized that there are a few thing I would like to change. Getting into a better sleep habit, setting specific time blocks for homework, and making time to have a little fun too. Before this assignment I looked at tasks as “I’ll get to it when I can” after completing the assignment my attitude has changed to “If I do this now, I’ll have time for that later”. It’s a very useful way of thinking when trying to balance my new schedule. I would like to better manage my time by getting to bed earlier so I can get up earlier. Setting a schedule and list of school tasks and working on them in a timely manner based of difficulty. This will help me get all my...

...Did I deserve to get raped? Enclosed in a dark bathroom silenced by pride to admit what has happened to me. The corrupt behaviour of men who follow drunk women to the bathroom because they see a sexual opportunity. Was it sloth-like to have been drinking that evening and not stick with my friends; yet all these human behaviours come from our human nature trying to reason with our unfavourable circumstance. Similar circumstances lead to corresponding reactions within individuals due to our human nature: this is demonstrated in Ishmael Beah’s ‘Radiance of Tomorrow` and the realities of sex trafficking within our global community. It proves that actions taken by individuals are affixed with human nature tendencies. It is human nature to have greed manifest within...

...Personal Responsibility Being a responsible individual is necessary in order to succeed in life. Life is full of important choices and being responsible is one of the most important of them. Many things can alter our choices: friends, money, or life’s stresses can persuade you to make poor decisions. The dictionary defines personal responsibility as “taking responsibility for your actions, accepting the consequences that come from those actions and understanding that what you do impacts those around you”. In this essay I will explain my view points and experiences on the importance of having personal responsibility for one’s self. In life we have both positive and negative ways of going about doing any given task. We also have the choice as individuals as to when we decide to do or not do that task. As we grow and learn on a day to day basis, we are to be responsible for our actions. As a result, we will get positive or negative feedback from those around us. As we move forward in life we will most likely, but not in all cases, enjoy the positive feedback rather than the negative, and we will strive to do whatever it takes to continue getting it. We are personally responsible for what path we take in life and where it takes us. We can make it a hard, bumpy road full of thorn bushes that we have to walk though, feeling the pain that we have created, or we can be in an air-conditioned BMW, cruising on a smooth highway. We are the ones who are responsible for the outcome...

Not being able to determine if it was a male or a female, if the baby was in good conditions or having complications throughout the pregnancy. My grandma once told me a story of a girl who lived in her town when her mother was young. She told me that this girl was pregnant for almost 8 months and no one notices.

...I always wanted a pair. TOMS was still relatively new to the world when I started wearing them. Blake Mycoskie founded TOMS in 2006 after taking a trip to Argentina and seeing the vast amount of children walking around without shoes. These people were experiencing devastating poverty and weak health conditions. Mycoskie left Argentina and couldn’t shake the feeling that he needed to do something to help. That’s where the journey for a new hope began. The traditional shoes that the lucky few Argentines wear is called alpargata and Mycoskie’s idea was to take that traditional shoe and reinvent it. The other part of his idea was to make every pair of shoe that was sold to a new pair to give to a child in need. Mycoskie was not new to the business world; before TOMS he had five other businesses that he grew into success. Although he wasn’t a rookie the first year still wasn’t easy. At first Mycoskie was only trying to sell on a small scale out of his apartment in California. He had his close friends and family at his side spreading the word and even purchasing pairs themselves. But as the word spread the demand for these shoes was growing and Mycoskie had to move his production into a warehouse. Selling the shoes online and over the phone was good but he knew to get even more advertising out there he had to try and sell them in shoe stores. After a few failed attempts at getting stores to promote and sell his shoes he finally got one to bite....

...Scientists Rani A. Perales Kaplan University Scientists Scientists. How would you define a scientist? According to Merriam-Webster, a scientist is “a person who is trained in a science and whose job involves doing scientific research or solving scientific problems” (2015). Now, how would you envision a scientist? Could there be a long-term impact because of how the media makes fictional scientists look? The media has portrayed scientists in many different ways, and can influence how people view scientists. Also, the media can even influence how scientists view certain research and technology. When the word scientist comes to mind I tend to think of Temperance Brennan from the television show, Bones played by Emily Deschanel. She is extremely brilliant, has no sense of humor, very head strong, emotionally detached, and yet somehow finds love. Another scientist that I found interesting is Adrian Helmsley from the movie “2012,” played by Chiwetel Ejiofor. He too is a brilliant man, full of compassion, and wanting to help others. The likeness they both have is how they want to find the answers to help people. He wants the right answers to try to save humanity and she wants the right answers to help find people’s identities and put away murderers. When I think about a scientist I think of someone who is intelligent; they would have to be, to think and figure out their research and explain how they see their work. They would have to be open-minded; they would neet to be in...

...Time is said to be eternal. It is said that it has neither a beginning nor an end. Yet men are able to measure it as years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds. They have also given meanings to the words – past, present and future. True, time has a meaning. It moves. What was yesterday is not today. What is today will not be tomorrow. Yesterday is gone. Today is and tomorrow is yet to come. Yet time is said to have no holiday. It exists always. The entire creation moves on according to a time pattern. There is birth, growth and death. There is time for everything. Plants flower and give fruits. Seasons come according to time. A child is born, grows into boyhood, adolescence, youth, middle age and old age according to age and time. Every movement of creation is linked with time. One cannot grow paddy in a month nor can a child become an adult in a year. Everything is fixed to a time-frame. Time is a free force. It does not wait for anyone. It is commonly said that time and tide waits for no man. Time is money. A minute not usefully spent is an eternal loss. You can never get back the lost minute. One has to strike the iron when it is hot. The time flies and never returns. If you waste time it wastes you. ‘Time is the best medicine’, says Ovid. It is said that time heals all wounds and it even heals what reason cannot. All human beings are emotional. When negative emotions like fear, anger, envy and jealousy overtake them, they lose reason and act in haste leading to serious...

...only in the business world but also in one’s personal life. The world is full of change and will continue through time, requiring constant flexibility, adaptability, creativity, and optimum customer service (Brownell, 2000). Businesses need to identify with the changes and make plans for the future of the business around the change. To successfully manage change, employers must focus on the following ten steps to manage change within the organization to ensure success recommended by the author. According to Brownell, 2000. 1) View change as an opportunity, not a threat 2) Treat the staff like a customer 3) Involve associates in the decision-making process 4) Repeat, repeat, repeat - meaning say it once, say it twice, and say it again 5) Validate the feelings of employees 6) Anticipate tomorrow 7) Let go of the past 8) Customer service 9) Training associates 10) Set an example (Brownell, 2000). All ten steps are imperative and must be managed from all levels in the organization, from senior management to low level associates. Each step focuses on important aspects that the employer must recognize. For example, step one is to view changes as an opportunity, not a threat. Individuals have a tendency to be defensive when change occurs; however, people need to keep an open mind and look at the positive perspective and embrace the change. The important aspect is to identify the benefit of the change, accept the change, and go...

She likes to have bonding with her family and friends but her classmate Patrick bullied her and always calling her leggy, they always tease her. One day Patrick bullied her again, when Len is about to tell it to their teacher but Patrick warned her and said “If you tell this to anybody I will tell your parents about your secret” Len replied “what secret are you talking about?” then Patrick replied “I will going to make my own story that will make you grounded” Len replied “Ok I won’t tell anybody about this but please don’t tell anyone about this” Len walked sadly but one of her classmate named Joyce asked her “why are you crying Len?” Len replied “No I’m not crying I’m okay” Joyce told to Len “If you have a problem just tell it to me and I will help you” and Len said “ok thank you for your concern”.

...English 101 Going green is too expensive Now a days all you hear about is global warming and how all this pollution is ruining the earth, and how going green will solve any future problems. Now say you do decide to go green but wait going green means you have to spend more money. Now why the hell would you spend more money to go green? Especially when this is a worldwide situation and the economy not being the greatest. Who in his or her minds would spend more money when everyone is trying to save money? When it comes to the cost of going green, the long-term benefits to gain often outweigh the costs. The challenge for most people is really to remember this and choose to make an investment. While researching about this I came across an article stating someone’s opinion and one phrase caught my eye. “If we only focus on the cost of going green to our pockets today, but ignore the higher cost of not going green to our environment tomorrow, then we are being irresponsible and unkind – not only to humanity and other living things on earth, but also to ourselves. We will be unkind to ourselves, because many of us will still be alive, fortunately or unfortunately, to experience the harms we bring about to the environment -- pollution, global warming and climate change.” Thinking about this phrase made me think, if your willing to put the money down now you’ll save the rest of it in the future. But why do I have to pay so much, wouldn’t going green be cheaper to make the person...
