“The Matthew Effect” discusses the concept that people with an advantage will gain more advantages, and ultimately become successful. There is much room for truth for this in the business world, as well as the government world. There is a well-known saying “It’s not what you know, but who you know.” Success in any field has much to do with opportunities that present themselves to a person. If he can get himself more opportunities, he can go further. The “10,000-Hour Rule” is another key to professional success. By applying this rule correctly, one can gain mastery of a subject, and create his own

The title of the book "Running on empty", by Peter G. Peterson tells what really happens behind the scenes of both Democratic party and Republican party, and how in their own way they are bankrupting our future. "Running on Empy" provides a cogent look at americans political, and physical deterioration describing the financial crisis in the United States. Having hands on experience with this several political and govenment views Mr. Peterson discuss how our country is totally in debt and how we as americans can rebuild our future. Being a republican Peterson calls out mistakes made by both parties being equally irresponsible and presenting nonpartisan solutions. As a Democrate I believe that the democratic party focuses more on everyone being equally happy and healthy and ignores the fact that they could help the financial crisis by decreasing some of the social programs they 've created that help people in our society. I truly believe that some of the programs that were created by the democrats have cost our citizems an exponential amt of money, with minimal improvement to our society. Also , a lot of these elected programs have handicapped our society. I personally believe that if you teach a person to fish , they will always eat. But, if you just feed people the fish you 've caught , it promotes laziness and the people will eventually starve. My take on this comparison is that the democrats only supply the fish to the less unfortunate and the Republicans teach the less

If it were not for that than you would still be encouraged to try and learn. The people that travel and experience the world are the ones that see what it is like for people to not have a book or a paper to write on and practice. And those with the stuff, take advantage to learn better concepts from

He combines these appeals to write a great and interesting paper that motivates and entertains us all at once. I believe anyone who reads this article will feel some type of motivation no matter what. Everything he encountered he overcame and gained from it. This article taught me things just by reading it. Never let anyone dictate what you are and what you are not capable of. You should never give up on what your tasks is because you may never know how far you may get if you give up because you never know how close you are to reaching your goal. Reading this article made me think if the saying that my elementary teacher use to always say during the morning announcements which was, “Never settle for less than your best.” Those words will forever stick with me because she never failed to say it every day, by her constantly repeating it made me get the full meaning to what she was trying to get us to understand. And because of that he made an impact of my everyday life from elementary school all the way until

“And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle” (Jobs). At Stanford University’s 2005 graduation ceremony, Steve Jobs was invited to give a speech that would serve an impact on those beginning their lives. Throughout the speech, Jobs elaborated on the background story of his life, successes, and failures, which all pertained to the true purpose of his speech. His stories and lessons had the ability to grasp the audience due to his consistent use of pathos, repetition, antitheton, and logos, all of which were enveloped into a short and simple structure that supported his statements regarding how individuals should live their own lives. Steve Jobs’ 2005 commencement speech contains rhetorical devices that all contribute to his exertion of life-changing advice that could benefit all individuals of society striving for success.

Although I believe I am living a normal life, after analyzing the answers to the survey’s questions I conclude there is always time to change my habits. On a personal scale I am very optimistic, almost stress free, protective of my well being, and active. However, I rarely visit the doctors and almost never pay attention to miniscule conditions in my body that may cause harm to me in the future. After reading and analyzing the articles assigned to me, I have found several courses of action to try.

If one does not obtain these skills, it will result in inefficiency and low quality of work. The purpose of “Eat That Frog”, by Brian Tracy, is to suggests ways for individuals to develop these skills of productive procrastination, planning, distribution of effort, and many other key elements in order to reach their full potential in any particular field.

The book that I chose to read is Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. This book is long, and I had started reading it a while back, but never finished it. I finally decided to finish reading the book and I do not regret it at all. I have read other books from Ayn Rand before, where she depicts her philosophy about working hard for that one loves, reason being above all, pursing one’s own happiness, prospering in life, and achieving one’s purpose all while treating others as individuals, understanding the value of work, and trading value for value. Atlas Shrugged illustrates her philosophy of the ideal human beings through some really admirable characters.
