Things to Come

which Stuart possessed, and had happened late at night, under the cover of darkness. Of course, that number had been multiplied ten-fold when swapping stories with the other members of Delta Tau Chi, as had tales of his sexual prowess and stamina. The thing was, that Stuart hadn't actually being lying about that, however what had never occurred to the young man was that both times he'd been drunk nearly to the point of unconsciousness, and it was a miracle…

For the remainder of the day only five more trucks come. Today will be harder I tell myself and maybe longer, but after two weeks it will be worth it. I arrive and can already hear the loud truck engines as one is leaving the scales. Once I clock in, I go to the office where the dust is so thick I can…

One person can do something so small for someone and make their whole life change. No one realizes how much one little thing can do to change someone’s mood. You don’t have to have a lot of influence. You really just need to have faith in your power to change things. Always be kind, because you never know what some people are going through or what they have been through in the past. Making one single person smile can change their world. One person can truly make a difference. There are a lot of…

To myself, the noble. How can I find a single reason to stay alive when the shining light of yesterday is a promise on borrowed time? It’s a dream warped by sadness, a world in pieces that I am obligated to rebuild in her name. Success simply means we get to move on with our lives but move forward sharing the profits with friends. Failure is not an option for failure would mean we should kill ourselves for the disgrace of defeat would be too shameful to bear. We must make our company, we must…

Observation – life has a way of getting away from me of late despite the time I dedicate to planning and preparing. Oasis Springs lies at the root of this recent development, I’m sure. After all, things always went according to plan before I moved here, my days quiet, orderly, peaceful – dull, boring and predictable. Now? Let’s take my failed attempt at a barbeque for example, my efforts to throw the party of the year resulting in the fiasco of a lifetime. I swear, I will never live long…

Doing something that I had always wanted to do and adding personal effort to it had brought out the best in me. Doing something well makes me feel good about myself, but importantly, it teaches me the process of how to improve on my skills and work efficiently. Evidently, team sports are done with other people. Therefore, basketball is a social activity. I made friends, developed relationship with teammates and understood the benefits of teamwork. Playing together as a team creates a special…

I had kept him awake until five in the morning. Sitting opposite each other on metal chairs that squeaked whenever we moved. We had been talking for hours: about our families, about school, about anything that came to mind. Only two thin computer screens and the entire Atlantic Ocean in between us. Neal Collin Case was by far the most interesting person I had met- or at least that’s what I would have said five years ago. I was from a small city in Connecticut, while Neal was privileged to live…

“She’s Come Undone,” by Wally Lamb, a book review from New York Times Database source, provides a lengthy detailed description, for a rather formal audience, with a useful recommendation. However, from the same book, She’s Come Undone, a Goodreads’s user from a Web source, provide a short summary, with no details or specific informational context, for a rather informal audience and also providing a useful recommendation. These two book’s reviews are destine to different audiences, Hilma…

material. 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…

positive for both the workers and the employers. It is positive for the workers because they can now things faster and they can work faster too, because all their problems are getting solved as soon as possible. This is a good thing for the employers too, because now the whole company is on the same topic and if there is a problem it can be solved right away. However this can be a negative thing for workers. They may think it’s too large of a step and that may create shyness where no one wants…
