    Have you ever caught yourself allowing your mind to become an excellent servant but a terrible master? The most valuable lesson that I have learned in my life thus far is the notion that the quality of life that I live is dependent upon the way that I choose to think. The individuals that we are and the individuals we aspire to be are hypothetically supposed to allign; for it is how we think that’ll determine whether or not the person you are now will be the person you aspire to be.

~ Gretta Mulrooney, The Lady Vanished One of the tragedies of life is people with magnificent intentions, which simply meddles in their mind as a puff of a dream but nothing more because there is no action to express and create their intentions. Most people want to grow, learn and go beyond where find themselves. But most people are not growing, learning and expanding, because there is no action behind their intentions.

    Jeremy's Response

    Personally I really enjoyed Jeremy’s message and I believe he did an excellent job of connecting the points made in the book of Joshua to our day and age. He started his talk by sharing a story from his life where things were a little unexpected and this began to lead him into connecting the need to recognize that we serve a God who does things unexpectedly. Then he went into the story of how Joshua had to step into some pretty huge shoes and to fill those he had to trust God. Joshua was Moses’s right hand man, and he knew everything that Moses did, yet even Moses was not a person who was at the top of the list socially. When he explained the problems Moses had, he tied that point to how God even uses unexpected people.…

    Author Robert Tew once stated, “the struggle you’re in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow.” Although people struggle in life, they must not focus their minds on the struggle, instead they should look at the positive impacts that come from the struggle. Living a fortunate life doesn't mean that a person will not face any differences or any problems to overcome. Living a content life is about being able to conquer everything that can be a distraction in one’s life by being able to see nothing but what they have been gifted with. Doing this requires a person to dig very deep, to notice that they are blessed.…

    I think that his intentions with the speech are to clarify and, like I said earlier, to motivate the audience, and make them believe that they can do it, if they work for it. In the end he says, “people don’t expect the government to solve all their problems”, so he talks on behalf of them, which makes them unite and unconsciously agree with him. In that way I think his intentions worked pretty well, and that people really did feel inspired, because he related to them with his story, like I know I…

    The books and articles I read this summer taught me to take common topics and change the way I look at them. They covered a wide variety of subjects such as adult life, capital punishment, school shootings, and how my own mind works. They all received critical acclaim and it is obvious why. All the authors cause their readers to question the way they have been looking and going about things. David Foster Wallace’s commencement speech to Kenyon College graduates has received praise because of his ability to break the set pattern of commencement speeches.…
