the Greek expression eudaimonia, which passes on characters of achievement and satisfaction. For Aristotle, this satisfaction is our most noteworthy objective. By the by, Aristotle does not express that we ought to go for happiness, yet rather that we do go for bliss. His objective in the Ethics is not to let us know that we should live glad, profitable lives, however to let us know what this life incorporates. Most by a long shot consider satisfaction physical delight or respect, however…
prone to having unusual thinking; this way of thinking has created so much! Unusual ways of thinking are what have brought humans to great milestones like landing on the moon, creating airplanes and cars, and tiny computers that can fit in the palm of someone’s hand. Sadly, the odd ways of thinking are not always good; sometimes it can be a very warped way of thinking. Thoughts and ideas and can be contorted and twisted, even be used to be cruel to others. Having this warped type of thinking is…
“skinny one”, to be appealing, and if we achieve this, everything else in life will just follow. I would be lying if I said that scared little girl inside my heart didn’t still believe this to be true to some extent, but with age came wisdom but we’ll get to this a little later. Seeing all the “pretty” people on tv, movies, ads, even in real life can be intimidating, convincing us all for the most part that this is just how life is. I hate to admit, but this way of thinking was apparent in my…

I was proud of myself and felt as if I accomplished alot at a very young age. I wondered if I needed to further my education afterall. Life was pretty good and if you 're…
As a student, I don’t think much about how a brain handles all the information I gather while being in control of every bit of my body. Learning is said by many to be important for young ones as it will help their brains grow and so they won’t fall behind. This is usually said by parents, and their children usually fall behind due to their mindset, not failed attempts in learning. A mindset is what every student has and it shows how they are gaining knowledge or intelligence in classes. Two…

One law that I feel I embrace is the 'Law of Process- Taking Life Step- By- Step '. For me, this law means that it 's nature 's assurance that I can achieve any goal by breaking it down into smaller, sure steps. It reminds me to not set a goal and follow through with it with the journey 's end in mind because that would be overwhelming. Instead, by breaking down any task into manageable steps, I don 't have to wait for success at the journey 's end, but rather create a series of small successes…

apart of the Kittredge family. He longs for money, acceptance, love, and affection. The antagonist of Six Degrees of Separation is Paul and I believe the protagonist is Louisa. Paul is the opposed character throughout the play and Louisa’s character changes her opinion to sympathy towards him, rather than hate. In my opinion, the play exceeded my expectations. I did not expect the actors to perform in a way that made me believe his or her conflict. The setting was well thought out and…
