I know you want me to write about what I want to change in life, but in reality I wouldn’t to change a thing. That way there will be more opportunities, for people that want to take advantage and become successful in life.

             If I change things everybody would want to take more opportunity then they are now. My generation is lazy and does not want to do anything. So why change anything? Letting them be lazy is going to make me successful.

            Currently there are more opportunities for a person to become successful, but people in today society want everything handed on a silver platter.   I wish we could somehow teach students to do more for themselves.  You know they should help themselves. Some examples of people helping them selves are.

            Tony Hsieh is chief executive of Zappo.com a billion dollar online shoe and clothing retailer. He believes they should have fun in the work place. Some of the quirks for his employees are free food, room with couches and fish tank where they can nap, and medical benefits paid at a 100%.

Hsieh’s entrepreneurial adventures include an earthworm breeding business at the age of 9, a mail order button business in middle school, while attending Harvard University he would buy McDonald’s frozen hamburgers and grill them and sell them to other students.  

Tony said that if people that feel they are entrepreneurs should use their collage money to start up a business. They then can employ other people.

            John Paul DeJonie Hair care Mogul, married at the age of20. Soon after the marriage his wife left him and his son homeless. He and his son lived in a car for a couple of months. John and Paul Mitchell started a hair product; they had $700.00 to start their company.

After Paul died of cancer, John took over the business. He also started the Patron Tequila business, because he thought the world needed better tequila.

John believes that government should not throw money to people, but to help with jobs. He also believes that people want to support themselves, with tools,                  

Lynn Tilton owes of 75 companies. She is one of the few female billionaires. She buys companies that are in jeopardy of foreclosing. Over 11 years haves saved dozens of company. Restructuring company and got rid of what didn’t work, and finding new ways to make them profitable. She believes in saving American jobs. Currently her net profits through the year are 8 million dollars. At 23 she found herself divorced with a child. Fear of being a failure, and not being able to support her family.  She found a job on Wall Street where she worked for 15 hours a day for 10 years. At that time she sued Merrill Lynch for sexual harassment and settled.  With that money she had enough to retire.

 She had a dream about her dad saying this is not what I envisioned for you. Her father had instilled a drive to do good at an early age. She wants to help save crumbly families so that they would not become like her a single parent. By saving these companies she is saving jobs and hopefully saving families.  

If the world stays the same I will have a better chance at being an entrepreneur, because some of my generation wants’ everything handed to them. This is why some of my generation well has a better chance at success. I think my generation should be slapped in the face or a reality check. I wish my generation would put more effort into the thing they do in the everyday life. This is why I wouldn’t change anything in the world.

On Compassion Summary

In “On Compassion” by Barbara Lazear Ascher, she reminisces about how no one is born with compassion, but it can be taught to everyone.  The woman feels uneasy when a homeless man stares at her baby on the corner.  The woman tries to give a dollar to the black homeless man.  The man takes the dollar, he is hesitant to take.  The author asks if the woman gave the dollar out of fear or compassion. The homeless man walks into coffee shop and waits for his coffee and bag. The owner gives man a Danish and hot coffee and he’s on his way. The author again asks if it was out of pity, care or compassion.  As winter comes the mayor puts homeless into Bellevue  hospital. The author asks whether the rights of the homeless are being violated or if it is humane.  The author explains that  Empathy is born because the rich and poor come together and rich can feel what the poor are going through.  The  ancient Greeks learn empathy through the plays they watch, but New Yorkers learn it from watching the homeless. This is why no one is born with compassion, but we have learned over the years that we can teach it to each other.

About Me

This paper is going to be about me being hard working, being good with my hands and having a love for math.

Hard working comes from my grandfather. He taught me how to do things right the first time instead of doing it more than once. He also taught me that patience helps with being hard working. He says,” if you don’t like it, then do it over until you get it right.

Being good with your hands comes from years of experience with lots of tools. It also helps if you have some common sense. My hands, like I always say, they’re an asset; if I didn’t have them I would be truly lost. You’d be surprised what they can do.

Math comes from my dad. He can do problems faster then the calculator. He has a love for math and so do I. When I work with numbers, it sends me into a different world. I always want to learn more about numbers. They fascinate me.

Being hard working and working with my hands comes from my grandfather. My excellent math skills come from my dad. Without my grandfather I probably would be lazy like the rest of these kids. Without my dad I’d probably dislike math. That’s what my dad and grandfather do for me.

 Kids Should Have Some Work Ethic

    This paper is about a study of kids working part time and nonworking kids. If you do good in school,you have more commitment and get better grades. If you work ten hours, you tend to do better in school. If you work twenty and more, you are too tired to work in school. With a good attitude towards work, you tend to slack off in school.Students that work tend to cut corners.If you make more money, you tend to be less devoted to school.Students that work long hours are more likely to drop out. Teenagers with $200 & $300  tend to spend their money on drugs and alcohol. Kids who work part time loose interest in school.

     I think kids should get some work ethic, but they should not be getting bad grades. But on the other hand, some kids never work a day in their life. What are they going to do when they need a job. Kids need some work ethic in the real world.

plastic in the ocean

Why is there a island of plastic in the middle of the ocean? Because bigger cities along the coast they tend to throw more trash in the ocean. Even islands that are small seem to get a lot of trash on their shore. People throwing trash from California floats all the way to Hawaii and arrives on the nice white sandy beaches. Did you know that there's a large island of trash that floats in currents  the size of Texas? I think GOAK should do somthing about this island of  floating trash.

8/24/11

My informal education comes from my grandfather. He taught me to use my hands as an asset.  My nina Lu  showed me  how to sit back  and observe people and watch their reaction. The way I learned how to count was  dealing weed .  I learned how to  weigh out grams, ozs and pounds. I haven’t mastered  how to control my anger.   For me watching people is a job .  Staying under the radar is something I learned early in life.  Talking in code takes years of experience.  I also learned how to  manage my money.  That is some of  my informal  education.
