Winning Isn’t Everything OR The Only Thing The feeling of winning is great, right? In most instances, yes, it is. To achieve something that has had a lot of hard work put into it makes one feel accomplished. One time, a well-known, respected football coach said, “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.” I disagree with this statement for several reasons. There are many occasions where winning is the priority but along the way, one discovers that even if they don’t win, they can…

We can not be good, but we can perceive good. In the following of excellence we will all invariably miss the mark, because when dealing with “the good” the mark is infinitely small. After all “excellence” is ongoing, an approach to perfection. The question: Why should we be good? Is asking why take a shot at all. Why should we (in the broadest sense) be good (follow our own perceived path to excellence, God 's kingdom, prestige etc.) Because the efforts we make toward our own individual good…

An Inconsistent Truth: Why GMO Labeling Should Exist Our earth is a nourishing environment filled with many different ecosystems. We can find life in every corner of the world; from the deepest parts of the ocean to the highest parts of the mountains. As an example of diversity, we need not look any further than our own species. Humans are capable of living in many different environments, such as Central Africa and the frigid climate of Greenland. Our bodies are able to adapt to many things and…

Some birds appeared in the faint blue sky flapping and soaring. All were blackish-brownish with a touch of white. They were flying a yard or maybe two and they’re coming really fast. They went “ Honk,honk.” “Where’re they going? I said. Why would so many birds go in one direction?” “It’s a sign,” Jim said gazing with an amazed look. “ When chickens fly in the same road. It’s the same way birds would go. “ I raced over to the canoe, I grasped the gun, I got back to…

She noted, "No other insect has served the needs of man like the honey bee. For centuries, beekeepers have raised honey bees, harvesting the sweet honey they produce and relying on them to pollinate crops. Honey bees pollinate an estimated one-third of all the food crops we consume." The stance in my argument is that my honey…

summer days, Molten Blue- this is what she is drunk on, this is her superior alcohol. "When 'Landlords' turn the drunken Bee- Out of the Foxglove's door- When butterflies- renounce their 'drams' I shall but drink the more! Continuing her theme of "inns of molten blue" she somewhat humorously describes the landlords turning away the drunkard, just as a bee is supposedly denied permission to enter a flower. She appears to compare drams with nectar and intoxicatingly states that…

this subject I interview my father, Christopher Mann. Weekly word lists and spelling tests were once a part of growing up. My dad was eliminated in the first round of the school spelling bee, where everyone had to compete, over the word “orchestra.” For my fifth grade year our school did not even have a spelling bee. With this new generation of kids and technology spelling may be going out the window of most kinds school experiences. Schools are being forced to make a tough decision between…

Unrequited love is like a bee sting. While you are enjoying your time, in the midst of nature, channeling through the flowers and plants, seeing the beauty circling around you. Although, nature doesn’t have a mutual connection with you. Nature contains bees which can "hurt" you. A bee sting is simple and petite yet it's nature's way of expressing how it feels about you which is how you may enjoy or love nature but it doesn't act the same. The delineation of nature not caring for you shows the…

The Thematic Comprehension of Landscape in “Lake Isle of Innisfree” by William Butler Yeats Penned in 1888, the twelve-line poem “Lake Isle of Innisfree” by William Butler Yeats incorporates a mythological allure to ancient western lands through the speakers yearning to venture into an alternative landscape that contrasts with the encompassing reality surrounding them. However, while the speaker throughout the three major stanzas of the poem mentions that they will “arise and go now, and go to…
