As a matter of fact, media has not only become an accessible tool, but a habit and ritual in most peoples’ lives. In the midst of…

54) establish the next principle, “Buy Time.” While this might seem illogical, like the popular phrase, “time is money” indicates, time is a valuable resource. The consideration of time in terms of money correlates with the idea that the more valuable time is, the quicker it seems to pass.

its meat sauce from scratch. And it would take a total of three hours and fifteen minutes. That final count of time would not even account for the time spent grocery shopping, lost minutes due to prepping inefficiently, and the half hour it would take to eat dinner. Now add that to the all the excess carbohydrates and lack of sufficient vitamins from this Italian meal. For how much time and effort is put into the lasagna, the output and rewards are limited to a delicious pasta and great…

DRIFTED is crime-thriller drama within a sci-fi time travel plot. The idea is very creative and imaginative. The story contains solid themes about fate, destiny, second chances and making the right life choices. There’s a lot to like about the script, but at the same time, the plot is very challenging to follow and it lacks clarification. Thus, the script would benefit from further development. First, the story begins well. The idea that a small time crook can see pieces of the future is…

This leads me to a question: “Why would people try to be richer and richer if money is not important for real?” As an answer to this, I believe that money has a crucial position in many aspects of life that no one can deny. As a proof for this, I am now pointing out the importance of money in three main…

I believe that life is not easy, but I can not give up. When I fail in something and I give up, I will not be successful because I stopped pursuing, my dream. Steve Jobs is a great example because he had a lot challenges like dropping out his college and leaving his company. If he had given up, we would not have a smart phone. When I was in the first semester in my university, I took a low GPA, but I worked hard to raise it. If I had crashed, I would not have scholarship and be in the US to…

cunning, that's all'(WSS,11), only marks out what is not there and makes plain the impossibility of any appeal to the past against an equally feared future.

The novel's figure for its own narrative is Antionette's dream, with its twice delayed near the conclusion and its dreaded but inevitable forward propulsion. The dream in a sense suggests a subsuming of the…
