Mantra

Site Visit The Site that I visited was Dawn Mountain Tibetan Buddhist temple on Sunday the 27th at 11:00 a.m. I choose to go to Dawn Mountain because I like the fact that Buddhism doesn’t really have a god, and it’s more of a Philosophy. Also I like to meditate, it’s very tranquil and relaxing. I didn’t have many expectations going in just because I didn’t really know what was going to happen during the service. All I expect was it would contain focus breathing a lot of silences. I didn’t…

businesses tried to please everyone, all of the employees would be kicked back at their desks taking naps. A good leader must understand that they may have to make an unpopular choice at times if it’s for the better of everyone else. Lincoln found his “mantra”, so to speak, that helped him overcome his frustrations with criticisms. He would often write letters of refutation to his critics, but he wouldn’t send them.
