...A person’s mood is very important to me and should be to other’s as well because their mood has a lot to do with how they are feeling and in some cases may alter how they will act. A person’s mood can range from highs as in feeling happy, joyous, and confident to lows like depressed, anxious or lonely. Mood is a pervasive and sustained emotional response that may affect a person’s perception. When people are in a good mood they tend to feel very positive about themselves, and might be more outgoing, friendly, nice and even smile more. On the other hand, when a person is in a bad mood they tend to be more quiet, gloomy or frustrated. Mood is important because this is a feeling that can change depending on the surroundings of an individual. What I mean by this is that if a person is feeling moody or sad and they have no support system, they may continue to be sad for a long period of time, which can change this person drastically depending on what the situation is. Whereas a person who has friends and family to help them in whatever situation their facing may only be sad for a short period of time and will soon be able to get over it and return to their normal state. I believe that mood should be important to others as well because ultimately everyone wants to live their life and be happy. Unfortunately, this is not the case so in order for people to move forward and be happy, everyone should be aware of other’s feelings and take into consideration that just having someone to talk...

...age of 14, living at Adliya. I live with my mother and we’re separated from my father. Why? Because my parents had a fight. And that won’t stop me from striving forward in school though. I wanna join the Music Camp because I wanna learn how to play the guitar. Because almost everyone in our school knows how to play the guitar, that’s why I somehow feel, am I abnormal or what? Because I don’t even know how to play any instruments besides flute. That’s why I want to take this as an opportunity for me to learn on how to play the guitar. With this opportunity to, I can be able to show my father, that he made a wrong decision in leaving us. I want him to feel guilty for leaving such a loving mother and a nice child. I don’t know how to self study that’s why I am looking for someone who can teach me. Luckily, I found the advertisement about this Music Camp. So I already grab the chance in making this piece. I said to myself, “This is an opportunity, that God has given me because I know he heard my prayer that I want to learn on how to play the guitar”. Really, God is amazing, he granted my wish, though I’m still not sure If I will be able to attend those meetings because of the school days. But at least I will try, because this is what I wanted to learn. God even found someone who can teach me and even the instruments are provided by the camp. So lucky. So that’s who I am. What is music for me? Music for me is where I can express myself with. If I’m happy, I play rock songs, or lively...

I will also outlines why I feel that this style is appropriate and why it would be more beneficial to all parties involved and what factors and issues that I think of that may facilitate a collaborative style? Offers, counteroffers, and motive The reason why I decided to go with offers, counteroffers, and motive is for the reason that not much information was given about the company. Since my company has the capital to purchase the company and since it's states that it's a good opportunity, I'm going to go with the assumption that the company may have financial problems which will explain the opportunity for purchasing the company. As a great negotiator, I have to evaluate their strengths, weaknesses and opportunities and use that as a reason as to why the company should be sold to me. I'm going to make an offer that is tempting in hopes to entice them enough to be interested. I will begin my negotiations with a descent but enticing amount knowing that they may want more money and other perks written in the agreement contact. I will also use their motives for selling and as to why my offer is a good offer that should not be rejected. Why my Style is Appropriate By using the negotiations style of offers, counteroffers and motives, it gives me the ability to communicate my motives during the introduction...

...Michalik English 102 25 March 2014 Sadness/Depression Sadness and depression may seem similar in a lot of people’s eyes, however they both have a very different meaning. Sadness is the feeling of sorrow or grief. Being sad is more of a mood while depression is a clinical problem. Depression has a deeper meaning than sadness. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition, categorizes depression as someone who is in a depressed mood and has a loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities for more than two weeks. People who are depressed often feel like there is no way out and that is why depression can often lead to suicide. Some people may mistake sadness and depression for the same thing because they do have similarities. Sadness is often how depression starts out. Sadness can also be associated with grief. Grief is the response to a loss of someone and is associated with sadness. More people should look at sadness and grief as the same instead of sadness and depression. To know if you have depression, a diagnostic needs to be made by pointing out symptoms. Dr. Kramer believes that there are nine symptoms; if you have five out of those nine then you are depressed. The symptoms include: depressed mood, hard time having fun, no energy, can’t sleep, eating a lot, no desire for physical activity, feeling worthless, can’t concentrate, suicidal thoughts (Valiunas). All of those may seem like signs of just being sad, but as symptoms of depression...

...This poem is about a man who wants to his own person and who has to make a decision rather to do what everyone else has done or to go out on his own and take “The Road Not Traveled. Outline: The Road Not Traveled • Decision Making • Mood Setting • Significant Title Literary Device • Communication • Contradictions Narrator Final Thoughts The theme of the poem is decision making. The Road Not Taken is a decision we have to make every day. The decisions we make in life determines the outcome of the future. Just as if the road that “was grassy and wanted wear” was less traveled, our decision depends on if we are going to take the grassy road that no one else took or take the other road that everyone took. I believe that the setting in the poem is a gloomy setting in deep thought. I feel as though he may have been walking to clear his mind and came upon a fork in the road and he had to make a decision to go left or to go right. The lines “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth” “…Because it was grassy and wanted wear …”(Frost, Robert. “The Road Not Taken”, 1874-1963) are the lines that lead me to believe that he was out just walking to clear his mind when he came upon a fork in the road. A specific word in the poem is what gave me the information to think that the setting is gloomy and he was in deep thought;...

According to an academic journal on gale databases written by Rebecca Hachmyer, “Readers will find themselves deep within Liza’s shell-shocked mind as she and her father enroll themselves in the witness protection program” (“Shaw, Susan: Tunnel Vision”). Shaw makes sure the readers stay interested in the novel by creating such suspense and mystery with Liza having to be on the run the whole time. This suspenseful mood is seen in Tunnel Vision. Liza states in the book, “Life felt so unreal. Mom was dead, someone had attacked me with a knife, and now we were living in Kansas” (Tunnel Vision 101)....

...FROM THE HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW OnPoint A R T I C L E HBR What matters most to your company’s bottom line? Just possibly, your mood. Primal Leadership: The Hidden Driver of Great Performance by Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis, and Annie McKee New sections to guide you through the article: • The Idea in Brief • The Idea at Work • Exploring Further. . . PRODUCT NUMBER 8296 T H E I D E A I N B R I E F Primal Leadership: The Hidden Driver of Great Performance hat most influences your company’s bottom-line performance? The answer will surprise you—and make perfect sense: It’s a leader’s own mood. Executives’ emotional intelligence—their selfawareness, empathy, rapport with others—has clear links to their own performance. But new research shows that a leader’s emotional style also drives everyone else’s moods and behaviors—through a neurological process called mood contagion. It’s akin to “Smile and the whole world smiles with you.” W Emotional intelligence travels through an organization like electricity over telephone wires. Depressed, ruthless bosses create toxic organizations filled with negative underachievers. But if you’re an upbeat, inspirational leader, you cultivate positive employees who embrace and surmount even the toughest challenges. Emotional leadership isn’t just putting on a game face every day. It means understanding your impact on others—then adjusting your style accordingly. A difficult process of self-discovery—but essential...

...person’s overall self-awareness, mood or attitude. An individual’s mood or “filter,” as I like to call it, acts as a pair of glasses that can literally transform all of your surroundings and how you experience them. Your mood and emotions (for the most part) determine the “type” of glasses you are perceiving your reality through. If an individual is angry, their “angry glasses” will be slipped on, seemingly subconsciously, and the “energy” around them immediately loses its value and becomes diminished in a sense. Think about it, have you ever woken up, and as you were getting out of bed you stubbed your toe, and the rest of your day seemed to be more aggravating than usual? Maybe your commute to work seemed slower and more agonizing, or when you finally got to work your boss asked you to pick up an extra task because someone else didn’t show up that day. In other words, everything seemed more tedious to the point where you are just “not in the mood.” It is not that, all of the sudden, on that specific day the world changed its perception and attitude towards you, but because you changed your perception and attitude towards the world. The most dangerous part about these perception filters is that it is very hard to make yourself aware of when a certain “filter” has slipped itself in to place. Being in total control of your filters at all times requires extreme mental discipline that many people believe they cannot acquire and/or utilize. This is where I disagree and believe that anyone...

...This song relates to the book by addressing the different love affairs happening between the various men and women such as Darcy falling in love with Elizabeth. He does not want to love her, though, and that relates to the lines “I’ve got a problem and I don’t know what to do” and “I think I really like her, I hope she really likes me too.” Because Darcey did not want to fall for Elizabeth even though he was, and Elizabeth was not also falling in love with him, Darcey had a problem. Even though he did not want to love Elizabeth, he still did and hoped she would love him back. “Misty Morning” by Travis Bretzer “Misty Morning” perfectly describes the mood when Jane arrives to the Bingley house.

...two elements: imagery and tone. Frost uses imagery and tone by implementing dark words to create sad and foreboding scenes in the readers mind. An analysis of Robert Frost's poems reveals that he creates a somber mood through his use of imagery and tone. Robert Frost uses imagery to create a somber mood in his poems. When Frost creates a poem, he typically uses words that have dark meanings to describe the scenes of his poem. A good example would come from his poem “Ghost House”: I dwell with a strangely aching heart In that vanished abode there far apart On that disused and forgotten road That has no dust-bath now for the toad. Night comes; the black bats tumble and dart. ("Poem Hunter") Here, Frost uses words like “disused”, “forgotten”, and “aching heart” to create imagery of a sad and depressing scene. The word disused and forgotten is applied to the road, making it appear ragged, old, and in disrepair. The speaker describes himself as having an aching heart where he is dwelling, telling the reader that he is strangely sad, but not exactly knowing why. Whereas the first example shows how Robert Frost uses imagery of sight to create a desired effect, he also uses auditory imagery. In the poem “Acquainted with the Night”, it is best shown here: I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, But not to call me back or say good-bye. ("Poem Hunter") In this excerpt, Frost uses phrases...

...The Lottery Today, there are many traditions that people take part in but have no idea why. It seems that whatever someone grows up seeing the people around them doing, they will do as well. For example: popping fireworks on New Year’s and July 4th, or trick-or-treating on Halloween. Most people don’t know why they do these things, it’s just tradition. In “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, it’s a tradition for the people to hold a lottery every year and most of them don’t even know why. From little kids on up to senior citizens, everyone in the village participates in the lottery. The lottery is where the 300 people living in the village gather together and everyone draws a slip of paper from a box. Whoever’s paper has a black dot in the center gets stoned to death by the rest of the villagers. It doesn’t seem like something that someone would want to partake in, but everyone does simply because its tradition. This story is a prime example of why blindly following tradition is weak. Anything that a person does in this world, they usually know why they are doing it, and most of the time it’s because they choose too. However, when it comes to tradition most people do not know why they are participating in certain things; and in situations like this one, that could be dangerous. The author starts the story with a sense of liberation. “The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass...

...How many times have you caught yourself bobbing your head and trying not to fall asleep in class? Teens are always wanting to sleep in but school gets in the way. School needs to start later so not just teens but teachers can also get more sleep and maybe be healthier too. Teens can also be more awake and alert during class and are more likely to stay awake and not to fall asleep. I think the kids brains need more time to wake up. Teachers and teens will probably also be in a more cheerful mood. Let’s talk about why teens need to be more alert during class. Teens need to be more alert so their minds can take in information. If they are not alert they will not be able to learn. Learning is the whole point of school and teens could be half asleep...
