My Swim Career; My Life’s Motivation. “If you want to be the best, you have to do things that other people aren’t willing to do.” - Michael Phelps. When I think of my swim career, it’s these words spoken by Michael Phelps that I feel most sum up my journey with this incredible sport. My swim career is not a story that boasts of incredible talent or greatness, but rather one of how my constant sacrifice for the sport I love has contributed greatly to the place I hold in my swim career today. When

As eloquently stated by the prolific author Søren Kierkegaard, “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” Shakespeare’s comedy Twelfth Night features many “fools”, those led by the nose through desire and other means, and those who turned away from the truth. Of all those fools, one stands out from the others—Malvolio, a steward who chases his mistress, Olivia. As a man who flaunts his foolishness through his gullibility and

There is a fine line between something that is morally right and something that is immoral, and this line is often skewed to conceal the truth. Corrupt individuals and organizations commit evil acts every day and then feed lies to people. Omelas and The Lottery both uncover how our world is a dystopia that is filled with evil that is masked and concealed to try to hide and flush out the guilt that plagues those who neglect suffering and immoral transgressions. The town of Omelas is a deceptive dystopia

to. Michael is more American than Vito, as he went to go fight in the war and wanted to follow with respect to societies law and order. Michael sought to build his power on the status quo. Michael in contrast wanted to stay moral and crimeless, but as time went on corruption and greed plagued the dream. Michael slowly turned into becoming the new “Godfather” through the Crime war. His view of the crime business was that it was immoral and not personal, it was merely just for survival. Michael wanted

After nearly a decade’s worth of Western Conference supremacy, it’d be easy to think that the NBA’s Eastern Conference would get the memo to be more competitive, right? Guess again. With stars like Jimmy Butler, Paul George and Paul Millsap heading West, the balance of power continues to shift westward. LeBron James is arguably the best play in the Association, but while he resides in the East, most of the top players are on West teams. Aside James, Kyrie Irving, DeMar DeRozan, John Wall, Kevin

Dunning (1977) states that the decisions on entry mode decisions are determined by the composition of three sets of advantages - ownership advantages, internalization advantages and location advantages. If a firm possesses the more OLI advantages, the greater the propensity of adopting an entry mode with a high control level such as wholly owned ventures, the outcomes shown in the figure below. Stopford, John M.; Susan Strange; John S. Henley (1991) state that the eclectic paradigm contrasts

In “The Crucible” the story has taught us about how great and powerful fear can easily take over one another and show how people turn against one another just to protect themselves. One of the characters in the story has shown a great example of this and you can see the great evil that is inside of this person who just lets good innocent people die to protect themselves. Cruel and selfish is what you think or maybe it is the other way around for you. Maybe you think you got to do whatever you got

The Evil-Sounding “Mor” What makes a “top-notch” villain name? The arch nemesis of Harry Potter, Voldemort, and the betrayer of King Arthur, Mordred, would say it is the sinister sounding “mor” in their names. The big question is what makes “mor” give off a malevolent vibe. It is found that the use of “mor” in a villain name is usually because of the root meaning, the way it sounds, or even just the author’s pure spontaneous name-making. Many of the authors of the stories and tales of these villains

As with most games in the illustrious career of Michael Jordan, the ball was in his hands with the game winding down. Fans and players of the Utah Jazz awaited in fear for their fate to be decided. The ball dangled in the air with 6.6 seconds to play, and the seasons of all involved would be over, pending the result of this one shot. Tension filled the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, while thousands watched live. It took only one shot to cement a legacy and crush thousands of dreams. The photo

The National Football League and the National Basketball Association are very alike but different in their own ways. Although both the leagues have contracts, a salary cap, and revenue sharing they are both very different. Both leagues have a championship game game where they score high ratings because of their high market players. Curry and Lebron playing against each other in the NBA finals last year generated ratings up to 19.94 million viewers the most all time other than the 1998 Jordan’s Bulls
