Tim Ferris Podcast Analysis

The Serial podcast, hosted by Sarah Koenig, is about the murder of young Woodlawn High School student Hae Min Lee. Hae was a smart, ambitious, and outgoing young lady taken from this world too soon. Sarah Koenig and the podcast takes us through the ins and outs of typical and unusual teenager behavior to try and uncover something unseen in this case. Adnan Syed, the now convicted murder, and Jay Wilds, the state’s only witness, are the key people of this story. I believe Adnan’s innocence should be maintained because Jay’s story should not have been used for evidence, there was not enough evidence to even arrest Adnan, and Adnan had a trustworthy alibi.

The more I observe, the more I understand who I am. I come from a small town in a very cold part of the world, where very few exciting events occur. This means, I have to work extra hard to become an artist. I remember having my neighbor say, “You aren’t an artist until I buy a painting from you,” and she did. I never wanted the money, but I did enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that what I create makes others happy. So many people in town encourage me and support me with my dreams, and all I do in return is help them back in return. When people need a little sunshine on gray, winter days, I am there to lend them my happiness. That is why I am able to succeed. When failure strikes his wrath upon me, I learn from the mistakes rather be held back –being optimistic allows me to grow much quicker than if I were to be

“I feel sorry for the person who can't get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied, but he will never achieve anything worthwhile” (Walter Chrysler). Deciding on what one wants to be in life can prove to be a demanding task. There are so many, yet limited, different opportunities in the world to have an excellent career and make a decent living while doing something one loves. It is limited because there are only a few specific career paths that someone could take to make good money. It is very difficult to make a fulfilling living being a garbage man. There are many different opportunities because, within these specific careers, there are usually various paths to take. Someone who has dreams to be a

This quote fits perfectly into what I am saying. I am the one that is following a Creative life and I know it is a risky business nut i am not going to live my life not trying to fulfill my dreams as a musician. When i tell people this they get an offsetting look on their faces where they automatically think i will fail! Their first question to me is, “So, what is your backup plan?”. My response is aah that will come in time i believe in myself and the musical gift i have been given and I wont stop until i have done absolutely everything i can! Their doubtfulness is just fuel to make my drive and determination even stronger to prove them all wrong when the day comes.

My thoughts after listening to The American Life podcast was, as bad as it sounds I didn’t even really know that there were still all black and all white schools. I didn’t know that kids were still separated in that way. I think it’s sad that still after so many years people can’t all come together as one, they have to separate themselves based on skin color. Which is just wrong. The part where they talked about students that we behind. They were correct. If you’re someone who is already way behind where you should be and you are then given bad resources and unskilled teachers you are either going to stay where you are, or get worse. If you are on a classroom with a bunch of kids who are advanced, you are more likely to catch up. The kids that

My reaction to this video indicated that Ron Finley took the time out to show an interest for others. He focused on others well-being as he also encouraged and promoted a healthy lifestyle. He wanted to transform his neighborhood by growing food on empty lots and putting people to work and getting the children off the streets. Ron Finley was effective in his speech as he gave the people the tools that were needed to succeed in their diets to be able to live a healthier and prosperous life. He convinced the community that eating healthy promotes an extended life span, as he reached out to the

In the book called, “Oh the Places You’ll Go!” Written by Dr. Suess; the message he is trying to explain is that we have to make it our day to shine, you might not find a path right away that you're supposed to go on, but you will make your own special path that's fit just for you. However, there's going to be bumps in that path; people will leave you when they see you struggle. Sometimes, you will not want to get back up again.You will be frustrated and you’ll be in dark places that you won't ever want to be in, but, you have to keep pushing forward. You must push forward in order to get out. In the end it all works out, everything happens for a reason and it's your time to go move mountains, inspire others, inspire the world!

I want to be like many different people for many different reasons. I don’t have a perfect person that inspires me all-around. Possibility also inspires me. I find it fascinating, but it’s my reality that gets me to move. Dreaming of the possibilities of my reality help get me moving. There, I got it out! Maybe I just grew up late, maybe I got tired of excuses for being stuck in circumstances.”

Thе writеr Sarah Susanka, thе author of "Thе Not So Big Housе,” oncе said that "Thе ability to think crеativеly, rеsponding to nееds and wishеs, not to prеconcеivеd idеas of what somеthing should look likе, thеn thе problеm will bе solvеd.” [SIC] What I think shе mеans by this is if you arе going to makе somеthing or do somеthing for thе pеoplе of thе world, don't assumе or prеtеnd you know what thеy want. Go out, ask thеm, figurе it out and thеn whеn you havе complеtеd thе finishеd product it will bе succеssful.

In addition, I think sometimes Christians do not brag our experience of the encounter with the Almighty God. In Dr. Harland's podcast, he mentioned few times that Paul was sarcastically bragging his credential to against his enemies. He boast about his suffering in Christ. Paul is a serious man. He had been serious on Judaism and he was serious to be a Christian and to be an apostle after his convert. He dedicated his life to Jesus. My point is that it does not matter how dramatic we have encountered with Jesus. Even though we have the similar dramatic encounter, our lives would not change if our hearts do not fully dedicate to Him. We would not recognize how amazing He is and what He does if we do not pay attention on Him and take all things

The beauty of mankind is that we are all unique in countless ways. We are all gifted with our own particular sets of skills, talents and interests. To state the overused cliché, we are all like snowflakes; no two people are exactly alike. I take comfort in the fact that no one can tell me exactly how to live my life solely based on the notion that it’s my life. I am my own person with my own personality, my own set of goals, and my own plans for the future.

The purpose of this paper is to give a personal reflection of the podcast featuring University of Maryland professors Daniel Chazan and Lawrence Clark. Chazan and Clark participated in a 2013 podcast interview hosted by Samuel Otten, Assistant Professor of Mathematics Education at the University of Missouri (http://mathed.podomatic.com/entry/2013-06-10T19_14_44-07_00).

At the end of the day it is not up to anyone else but me to accomplish what I need to in life. My personal vision has also evolved because I hold myself at a lot higher level. It’s not only for me, but I must show my five children that it is possible to accomplish your goals regardless of how busy life is. I must prove to them that anything is possible with hard work, consistency, and determination.
