Marc Benioff Research Paper

When growing up you believed you could grow up to be anything. Chris Hadfield's dream was to become an astronaut. Their were two things holding him back, one he was only nine years old and two he lived in Canada. When he first knew he wanted to be an astronaut was after the Moon landing in 1969. The landing was a major value for him because that was the event that kicked this training process into motion. Chris said "Slowly, methodically, a man descended the leg of a spaceship and carefully stepped onto the surface of the Moon... Later walking back to our cottage, I looked up at the Moon... At that moment, I knew what I wanted to do with my life." Another value of his was his training, which started the next day. Not only did Chris take the time to plan this out he also believed in himself to do it all. He said " I had decided to imagine what an astronaut might do if he were 9 years old, then do the exact same thing." Being this determined about his future is a big value to have was a kid. As if being in school wasn’t enough to believe that you can get through it, Chris had to stay focused and believe he could do more than just the normal amount of work. As Chris said " It's not difficult to make yourself work hard when you want something the way I wanted to be an astronaut." In today's society if any kid was this determined to become something extraordinary they

On May 24, 1888, Ben Hagen Jr. and Millie Pinkston-Hagen gave birth to Ida in Huntingburg, Indiana (Backer 1). Although they had Ida in Huntingburg, the Hagen family did not live in the Pinkston Settlement; Ben owned land near the Pinkston farm, just not on the property. Though an active farmer, Ben Hagen also practiced ministry at the Missionary Baptist Church. He continued farming and preaching even after the majority of the other settlers had diminished. (Taylor 1) Ida’s father went on to serve as a member of the 100th United States Colored Infantry in the Civil War (Hackman 2). Ida’s mother, Millie Pinkston, was the daughter of Emmanuel Pinkston Jr. and his second wife, Anna Eberhart (Hackman 1). Because of this connection with the settlement,

Given the task of conceptualizing a man who truly changed the realm of technology as we know it today, my mind secludes one person. That person is Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computer, now known simply as Apple. For this rhetorical analysis, I will be using three biographies/profiles about Jobs including “The Real Genius of Steve Jobs” by Malcolm Gladwell with The New Yorker (June 19, 2017), “Jobs’ Biography; Thoughts on Life, Death, and Apple” from NPR (October 25, 2011), and “Steve Jobs” from Biography.com (April 28, 2017). Precise attention to the audience, purpose, and tone, allows all three of these profiles to vividly explain and represent Jobs as the truly exceptionally minded man that he was.

When I was asked to write an essay about a counselor who has made an impact on my life, I thought about the counselors I have had throughout my school experience, and the counselor that came to my mind is not a counselor who has been employed by my school district. He has never walked the halls of my schools, he is my neighbor Ben Wiley. Mr. Wiley is a member of my community who is always serving others. He generously serves any person who crosses his path. Although Ben Wiley is a school counselor from a different school district, he always time out of his busy life to help students in his community. I admire that even though Mr. Wiley is not a counselor at my school, but he has donated countless hours helping me be the most successful student I can be.

Each year, the Jerusalem Post names 50 Most Influential Jews in various categories and this year, Israeli-American Adam Milstein made the list for his support of the State of Israel, as well as U.S.-Israeli relations. Milstein is in good company, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and two U.S. Supreme Court justices are on the list as well. Honored for his work with Jewish organizations, Milstein stands out as a tireless activist and philanthropist. One of the major reasons Milstein was recognised was his work at the California-based Israeli-American Council (IAC), which Milstein co-founded. He also serves as the Chairman of the National Board of Directors, where he promotes the organization's goals of cementing the U.S.-Israel alliance and

What author has a 700 pound black bear that lived with him? Ben Mikaelsen was born on December 8th, 1952, which makes him 65 years old today. He grew up in La Paz, Bolivia and surprisingly Spanish was his strongest language. Mikaelsen had trouble with English grammar and spelling until fourth grade. Growing up, Mikaelsen lived 14,000 feet up on a mountain, so he never really got any school, no public or private schools and not even homeschooled. His parents sent him to boarding school in 4th grade and that was the first year he had been sent to school. In high school, Mikaelsen started to skydive and he enjoyed training animals. In college, the idea of an author came to life from his professor. “An English professor called me in after class to comment on an assignment I had written. He told me my grammar skills were those of a fifth grader. Fearfully, I asked if I should drop the class. “Oh, no, no, no!” he replied. “I just finished reading three hundred stories, and only one made me laugh and cry. That was yours. You”re a storyteller. That’s writing!” (Ben Mikaelsen, Scholastic)

I am not a fan of James Perloff. I also do not like his book. I am open minded and its not his ideas that made me dislike his book. Its how he described his ideas and how he wrote the book. Thats what I don’t like and I’ll elaborate why.

The Man Who Changed Technology as We Know It. Given the task of conceptualizing a man who truly changed the realm of technology as we know it today, my mind secludes one person. Consequently, that person is Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computer, now known simply as Apple. For this rhetorical analysis, I will be using three biographies/profiles about Jobs including “The Real Genius of Steve Jobs” by Malcolm Gladwell with The New Yorker (June 19, 2017), “Jobs’ Biography; Thoughts on Life, Death, and Apple” from NPR (October 25, 2011), and “Steve Jobs” from Biography.com (April 28, 2017).

A local cat owned by Ben Daker, has been recently discovered to be born without a tail. This was discovered by the highly respected religious leader, Joseph Strorm while on his way walking home. As everyone in Waknuk already knows, deviations are a huge sin, so this incident will not just simply pass.

Steve Jobs, who is known as one of the greatest innovators of our time, had given a speech in 2005 to new graduates from Stanford. As many would find this ironic since he never graduated from college, but by the end of the speech they have realized why he was there to give the speech. He successfully gives the speech by using multiple rhetorical devices such as repetition of life experiences as well as common emotion that everyone consists of. By using those, his goals are to have the new graduates continue through life by doing what they love to do no matter what obstacles comes across their life.

“While you are still waiting to find an easy way out some one is already getting results because they decided making progress is more important than making excuses.” (Unknown) Someone who I think represents this quote perfectly is Josh Sundquist. He astonishes me still. Josh was diagnosed with a rare type of bone cancer at age nine. The doctors told him he had a fifty-five percent chance of living. He spent one year doing chemotherapy and his left leg had to be amputated. At age thirteen the doctors declared his disease was cured. Josh said his parents had bought him a trampoline which helped him regain balance. After three years of arduous work he started skiing. He trained for about six years and in 2006 he was named to the US Paralympic

Salesforce.com has been considered one of the most disruptive technology companies of the past few years and is credited with single-handedly shaking up the software industry with its innovative business model and resounding success.
