I agree with temperance because it is stating to not eat or drink to happiness. I disagree with the silence virtue, you should speak you mind no matter what, when you speak your mind it shows others that your not afraid, and you have confidence in what you believe. I agree with order because everything and everyone has a place in this world, and you can not change that, they are there for a reason. I agree with resolution, you want to perform with out failure, but failure may be the result if you did not perform well enough to succeed. Frugality i definitly agree with, no one should waste anything, for example, why throw away clothes when all you have to do is go to the city and donate them to a homeless fund, or you can give them to the needy your self, waste is one thing that the world today does way to much and it can be a cause of what is happening today in the economy. Industry i agree with, but most electronics are things you dont need in life, but they are becoming a necessity, because tv for example is how new gets around, and it gets around quicker then any other. I disagree with sincerity, you shouldnt have to speak accordingly, you should be able to speak when you want, and with no punishments when you do so, the amendments have freedom of speech for a reason. Justice i agree with, if you do something wrong you must recieve to punishments, but some of the punishments should be more sever then what they are today, so when they get out of jail they dont make the same mistake agin, and if they do they hold not be getting out of jail again. Moderation i do not agree with, everyone does something that may cause and injury, typing this may cause injury to my hand, and life would be no fun without the chance of injury. Cleanliness i agree with, because everyone should be sanitary, when you are not clean, that is when disease spreads, and that is one reason why there is AIDS and SWINE. Tranquillity i disagree with, because some great things must be disturbed to make them even more greater, for example antiques may be laying in the ground, but everyone can see the great art work in them when they are cleaned and restored. Chastity is one i do not agree with, i do not agree with that because it is your body, and you can do what you want with it, and in todays world there are probably less then 10 percent that wait to have sex till marriage, and i do not believe in it. Humility, i agree with, you may imitate jesus because he gave up life for others, and that is a lot like todays work in the army, you give up life for others to be free.
Out of life, I want to get the most out of life i can. I want to go to college to study business and accounting, because I am great with numbers. I hope get a scholarship for kicking for football to help go to a great college for these courses. Everything that i want to do in life is around business, i love business and accounting, I enjoy marketing and i really hope i am able to achieve my goal and make it a profession that I am able to do on a regular basis everyday of my life. I want to be earning enough money to be able to support my family when i get older. If I am to reach these goals of being a successful business person, I will want to invest in my own shoe store, like a footlocker. I have a great knowledge of shoes, and i can use them to make people happy. Id love to see a smile on people faces when they leave my store after they make a purchase with a smile on their face.
There are two sets of word that i always live by, and they are from the favorite basketball player Allen Iverson. He is endorsed by reebok, and he made the saying for the company ” I am what I am”. I love the saying and it means so much to me. I live by it, and when i think of the phrase and words I always think of being myself, and be your own person and therefore that is what I do. The phrase means dont be someone your not, you are your own person and dont change that. But the words i live and die by that are also from Allen Iverson is “Only The Strong Survive”. For me that saying shows courage and if you are weak you can not live. When i hear and think of that phrase i always think of warrior. If you are a weak warrior you will not hunt food, if you are weak you will be kick from the tribe, but if your a strong warrior everyone will praise you, and you will never be hungary. So these are the words that make up my mind and what make up the type of person I am. I am what I am, and I do not change for anyone, i want to be accepted for who I am.
Five thing that you need to do to better your self at some can be all types of things. For sports it is practice. For life it is determination. For friends is always being there for them. For family is putting them first. And to feel good is helping others. These are five things and reasons that will help me and that i look upon to improve the way i live, and the way i look at things.
Every year i have lent which is exactly 40 days long and every year i give up something that means a great value to me in my life, or else it would not be a sacrifice. So every year i give up something different for lent, and this year there is one thing that i gave up that i never gave up before, and this year i am giving up eating Oreos, i can eat Oreos everyday and i did before lent which occurred yesterday. I would buy a pack of Oreos everyday before i would go home if i did not have any there, so there fore i was pretty much addicted to the snack. So this year i am giving up the food and snack that i enjoy the most everyday. If i was really big into lent and not forced into it from my parents i would give up playing Xbox 360. I am addicted to Xbox and the game Call of Duty like no other. I will go home and play Xbox from 4 in the afternoon until i go to bed which is 11 at night. The game is so much fun and addicting and i cant get enough of it. So next year i am thinking about giving up my Xbox for lent.
The Greatest Technological Invention
More then eighty-three percent of today’s society has a cell phone. The greatest technological invention in this decade would have to be the cell phone, but more specifically the iPhone, and any model of the iPhone. The iPhone may vary in prices, depending what model you buy, and how much memory the phone has. The phone may range anywhere from $200 to $600, depending on if you have a two year contract or not with AT&T. There is one thing that drives people away from the phone, and that reason being that there is no warranty on the phone. The plan you need is an average of ninety dollars a month per an iPhone in your plan. The heat censored touch screen and the built in camera keep the phone flashy. The main reasons the consumers enjoy the phone and makes it important is the high speed internet, the calling, and all the extra appliances which are also known as apps.
The iPhone has one of the fastest internet downloads on the market today. Although you have to pay for the internet on the phone, you may also connect with WiFi, and the WiFi will download the internet content faster then the 3G that is on the phone. The fast speed internet that you are able to access on your iPhone may be used for recreational or emergencies. You may want to look on Eastbay for shoes when you are out in the middle of the woods, or you may want to watch and stream musicvideos in the car on the way to vacation. You are even able to reach your blog on the iPhone for blogging in English class, or you may just want to find another way to contact your friends and see what they are up to on Facebook. Most importantly, the high speed internet could be use for emergencies. There are a lot of new drivers out on the road today, but even the experienced ones get lost at times, and that is where the internet would come in handy to have. The iPhone has a built in GPS system that could tell you where to go and how to get to your destination if you are lost. The GPS also would take you a different way if there is a detour or an accident on the road. This wouldn’t be possible without its high-speed internet. Not only can you surf the internet, but you can also call company numbers from the internet.
If you see a number on the internet and you want to call it, all you have to do is click on the number on your iPhone screen. The iPhone has a lot of abilities that you may do while you are in a call. If you are in a business man, and you are on a business call you can go up to three way, and talk to two people at once, and have yourself included in the call as well. The iPhone is also great for the hearing impaired on calls because it has a very loud speaker built in, whether you are holding the phone up to your ear, or if you are sitting the phone on the table and you are doing something else. The great thing about calling on the iPhone is the emergency calling. The iPhone screen may be locked, but it still allows you to reach an emergency number like police officials or a fire department, ifyou are in an accident and they need to reach someone. All the other person has to do is press the emergency number on your phone and you are connected. Not only can youmake phone calls, but you can also play and research with millions of applications that the iPhone has to offer.
The iPhone has an application for just about anything that you could look for in a phone. The phone can let you download games; restaurants to eat at, or even bank applications. Most applications are used for games, because they even have games that you usually play on your Xbox right on your phone, and all you have to use are your fingertips. A lot of people will order pizza from Pizza Hut or Dominoes right off their own restaurant app. All you have to do is in put your credit card number, and place your order, and it will send the order to the closest pizzeria near you, that you ordered from. But the most important app in adults minds would be the bank app. You may have an app for the bank that you belong to. You are able to make and keep track of the transactions that happened to your account recently, and monitor your money wisely. You also have an app that allows you to get the best price on an item that you are shopping for. All you must do to find the best price is enter the SKU number that is one the product you are looking for, and it will tell you if the best deal is at, whether Wal-Mart or if it is Kmart. Furthermore, The apps may be free, or they may cost you a dollar or two dollars, But they are all worth it.
The main reasons why the consumer enjoys it iPhone is the high speed internet access, the calling ability, and the apps that you have for your convenience. The internet is a main reason why the phone sells so much. Because of the iPhone, people don’t have to buy a phone and a GPS, system because the iPhone has both of these features, andit gives you the same results. The calling ability that the phone has; has an ability like no other. The phone is loud and it is as clear as water, and anyone can use it incase anemergency would occur. The apps on the phone are amazing; you can have fun if the power is out at home by playing a simple game. The apps allow you to check your bank statements, and it is important to know how much money you have at all times. Withtechnological advances like the iPhone, I can see why eighty-three percent of today population in the United States has a cell phone.
If something would happen in my life that i would lose something special to me, which could be a family member, a possession, or even a friend or girl friend, I would always find something or someone better. Although if it was a family member I always thinking that i will see them later in life. If it would be a friend that reminds me of them, or i will see them in the after life. If it is a possession that i lose, i always think that their is another object out there that could replace it, and if i lost it, it didn’t mean that much to me that i would try to prevent losing it. If it was a house that i lost due to fire it was my fault it burned down because i did not have precautions, and get help to make sure that it wouldn’t happen. If it was a girl friend that lost, i know it was not meant to be, and if it was meant to be she would come back to me, and i would go out and find someone better that would make me happy.
For a relationship that will last a lifetime, you need to have trust in the person you are with, and the person you love. If their is no trust you will have problems whether it is family, or if it is the person you married or the person you are dating, Everyone needs to have certain traits to have a successful relationship. If you really cared about that person you must adapt to their living styles, and how they do things in life. But what bugs me about relationships when they first start is that everyone wants the date the best looking person that they can find, and they might not even have anything in common, so what i am trying to say is, you don’t love and care for someone because they are hot or beautiful, but you love and care for someone because who they are.
