First, Santiago’s fear of failing to achieve his dream in the future causes him to be more reluctant in proceeding with his journey. During the journey Santiago’s heart “began to speak of fear. It told him stories it had heard from the Soul of the World, stories of men who sought to find their treasure and never succeeded. Sometimes it frightened the boy with the idea that he might not find his treasure” (Coelho 144). The fear of not being successful in a journey, backed up by stories of…

The comedy for a change. And Alison Sweeney--she is brilliant at this. And from the very first, we had just a great chemistry. And our director for the last two has been a wonderful actor and actor director named Kristoffer Tabori. And he is just brilliant. So we can trust him to help us with the rhythm. You know, we 've kind of gotten it down now. But especially when we were starting out, most directors have you not ever overlap in dialogue, but Kristoffer brings a reality to it. I think in…

The story begins like so many others. A boy meets a girl. Friendship sprouts. Time goes by. They become best friends, the kind of friendship that seems hard to come by now. I still sometimes wonder how she came to know me so well. It was so natural. Everything just seemed to fall into place with her. First and foremost, she was my best friend. We told each other everything. She opened up about her past. I almost couldn 't believe what she told me. No one had ever been that open with me. We…

Trying to explain learning to anyone is a challenge I think. I feel as though the term “learning” is not just one straight forward definition. If I had to explain it to someone who hasn’t taken this class, my old definition would have been simply any information gathered and stored in the brain through the use of our five senses. Taking this class, and critically reading the text given, has made me realize that my explanation of learning was only partially correct. After conducting a…

“Hey girl, open the walls.. Play with your dolls.. We’ll be a perfect family..” “Falina, quit being greedy and give your brother some pizza” said a young black haired woman, She was glaring down at a small skinny little black haired girl.

The young boy squeaked in excitement and ate it all up in one bite, Falina’s stomach growled loudly. She tried to hide it…

It was 4:35 in the morning and I was in Los Angeles, California; another sleepless night had accompanied me once again. I laid there on satin sheets, in my California king sized bed, listening to a peculiar sound: Silence. It was just me, my four walls, and an empty journal. What could have possibly been on my mind? One would expect a young woman like me with a life full of chance to be carefree, without a worry in the world. However, it was more than that, as cliché as it may sound, the man of…

The first step of this journey to a healthy living of happiness and healing begins with the level of clarity on what exactly you want to achieve. The power of having passion to aligning with purpose to seek out prosperity is different for everyone. Asking the question, “if you woke up tomorrow and your life was perfectly how you wanted it to be? What would that look like to you? How would it feel that you are already there? What would need to happen for you to know that it was all you wanted…

In John Holt book there are four main topics he talks about, those topics are strategy, fear and failure, real learning and how school fails.

In terms of themes in the book, Holt proceeds to state them in the first couple of pages when he proclaims “Most children in school fail…because they are afraid, bored and confused.

Hair flowing through my fingers, frozen angel tears brushing upon my face. Screams come through my ears, but I see nothing through this colorless land. I try to emerge from the weight holding at my knees as I make my way through the screams only to get louder. I am so shaken by the noise I run, and I keep running looking for a way out but no door will appear. I wonder if I were to just fall would the angels tears pull me under wings or pull me to my demise. Brushing through I can see…

Why Does He Not Listen? I’ve been knowing him my whole life and you would still think that he would at least try to understand me by just listening. A person with a fixed mindset is always trying to see things their own way. They are set up a certain way that when you try to communicate with them and explain your point of view, they become very biased in terms of understanding your point of view as opposed to theirs. This is a great definition of my dad. When I try talking to him I feel…
