The Little Things

After I started reading The First Time Manager, I became sure that I would not make a good manager. I felt this way because, as I discovered managers have to be able to lead. I tend to sit back and let someone else have control when it comes to things such as group projects. I feel this is because I am not usually comfortable being in charge of other people, because I do not want to be perceived as bossy. I tend to want everyone to be happy and to avoid conflict unless absolutely necessary.…

A turning point come can at any time. It can determine which road you decide to travel down in your life, the things you accomplish, and the dreams that are reached. You can be faced with a predicament, but you choose how to react. You can either roll with the punches, or decide to get hit. Life is not an easy walk through the park. There will come times when you have to stand up and fight, or times when you should just sit down and let life happen. In my life there have not been a lot of…

Expiernces : Expierences can be the best things that happen to you as they can make us who we are. We all go through different expiernces because we aren’t always exactly with someone twenty-four seven. The expiernces you have can make you view things differently then others. It can really give you a up one on someone as you could of expiernced something that they never have, giving you an advantage. These expiernces I have had really have changed me on how I look at this world within a semester…

needs to have sexual intimacy to fulfill her needs. My view of her as a person shifts towards thinking that she is a woman who is aware of what she wants, and will accept nothing less than that. I feel that this is an enviable thing to have, and that this is going to be a good thing for her and her relationships. However, it quickly becomes apparent that her needs are unrealistic and, combined with her captivating effect on men, are going to be a source of grief for her. Though she always goes…

least bring something to contact people and not just written notes. Today’s survivalists now bring many things for survival. Tent’s, plenty of food, proper weapons and ammo, and most importantly: some sort of electronic beacon/radio that can hone in on their position if activated so they can be rescued if they are in some sort of sticky situation. Chris had absolutely none of these things and he expected to survive for an extended period of time. Don’t bother with trying to ask him about why…

In the article, Appetite, Laurie Lee explained how humans take things for granted sometimes and she suggested that they need to get away from those things sometimes. She listed examples of things different than food such as people that we surround ourselves with and how we needed to get away from them too sometimes because that could lead to them getting too attached or they could get tired of each other. In the article she says, “So I think we should arrange to give up our pleasures…

Once there was a little boy who lived in the countryside with his mother. Every weekend the little boy’s grandfather would come to visit the little boy. One weekend while the little boy and his grandfather were talking, the little boy wanted a story. He wanted a story that told about why things are. So his grandfather told him a story about why it floods. The story went a little something like this: “Once upon a time there was a boy named Timmy. Timmy lived in the big city with his parents. The…

and your relationship with God. We as Christians are called to follow God and put Him first in every aspect of our lives which can be really hard to do sometimes. As life goes on and things get more complicated and crazy, it becomes more difficult to make God the number one priority because we have so many other things going…

Traveling the world at a young age can be an exciting thing, but also be very nerve wracking. Imagine the teenage men in the 1960’s, sitting on a cargo plane with a bunch of others, some they knew and some they did not. They traveled across oceans to risk their lives and fight for their country. The entire plane remained silent because the only thing going through people’s minds was if they would be going home again or not. This is how Brucie Potter felt when he was on his way to Vietnam to…

says to me that you have to know things are changing all around us. A quote from the book was, “The more important the cheese is to you, the more you want to hold onto it.” People change from what they are used to and are comfortable with. The most successful people in the world are the ones who are the ones that make change happen. I really like the story of Steve Jobs who was never complacent with how is company was doing. He always wanted to design new things that were thought to be…
