Can You Move Other People Analysis

Improved Essays
Did any time elapse between high school and college or have you left any school or college voluntarily for an extended period of time?

Please give a detailed explanation.
Well, the main reason why I left the college was plain and simple, money. I did not have enough capital to support myself, and my family was also having a hard time pay my tuition due to the extraordinary amount of fees that the college makes you pay. After my leave of absence, I desperately looked for places where I could earn my money. First I went to Korea and served as an English teacher. Then I moved to a music academy where I taught general music and mostly guitar (and other instruments such as piano and vocal). After about a year in Korea, I came back to the US

The title of the book is “Can You (Emotionally) Move Other People?” The book was translated into Korean, and the general idea is how he lives as a composer. There are obvious facts about the life as a Studio Ghibli’s music mascot and how he interacts with other people, but that is not what caught my eyes when I read this book during my spare time. The idea that made me truly think while reading his book was his way of life and his time management. Music wasn’t something that he made spur of the moment whenever he wanted, he needed a life style that would ensure that he can get the “spur of the moment” to make his music. He tries to keeps his life style as healthy as possible such as waking up every early morning and going for a walk or on every break he has having a short exercise so that his body does not get rusted. It was simple, but as a person who also composes music, I did not think how important it is to have a healthy body. “Healthy body links to healthy mind” is a phrase that I have always glossed over, but after I have read the book, I see how important it is. Not only does it allow me to have a healthy mind, but it also keeps my health from interfering with compositions and work. While I am wick or not in a good condition there is no way I’ll be sitting in front of a piano and focus only on making music. And not only that, I would not be able to meet with other people from the work and discuss properly about how the film or game is going to be like. Internet, texts, and phone call can only get you so far. Also, having healthy minds allows you to have easier time resting your brain then recharging it so it may be ready to endure the stress it takes while you are making your music and the stress that is behind

    To Be a Slob or Not to Be While some people still hold to the fact that working one’s hardest and not appearing to seem lazy is in one’s best interest, others may try to explain how making the minimum effort of doing things can have greater perks than trying to do the best of one’s ability. In this case, Andy Simmons, the author of the article “I’m a Slob, and You Should Be One Too”, fails to deliver an effective article that suggests being a slob is a good thing and negatively encourages others to join his stance. Andy Simmons’s claim that being a slob results in benefits is flawed because making up one’s bed can develop valuable habits, having a cluttered desk can lead to anxiety, and doing nothing instead of being active can have negative…

    Lou Rawls, an American singer, once acknowledged music as the “greatest [form of] communication in the world” (“Brainy Quote,” n.d., para.14). Music is a way for people to express themselves and their feelings comfortably without being ashamed or embarrassed. While these are positive contributions to personal development, there is much more that music provides for people. The article, “Is Music is the Key to Success?” by Joanne Lipman, addresses how music can help people communicate, think, and feel better in a professional job that may have no correlation to music.…

    From waking up to the smell of freshly made tortillas and warm beans with rice on Sunday mornings and rushing through the morning to attend noon mass to the tradition of going from house to house singing lullabies to Jesus on Christmas eve, food and catholic tradition are just a small part of what being Hispanic means to me. While there are a multitude of distinct experiences that have guided me to rediscover what Hispanic truly means, I believe that everything can be simplified to family values. Aside from the extraordinary and delicious food, I believe that Hispanic means family; as my good friend, Stitch likes to say, "Family means no one is left behind or forgotten" (Lilo and Stitch). Last year, I left home to attend a university that is a few hours away from my parents' house. At first it was exciting with a newfound sense of liberty; a part of me really enjoyed going to eat at random times of the day or…
