I wonder why you have to make your bed. Making your bed is meaningless and unconnected to being successful in life. Successful people are not necessarily those who made their beds, or the most intelligent people, they are those who just didn’t accept defeat when they were knocked down. I wonder if making your bed is a sure path to being successful. If this is not, then don’t make your bed. Then making your bed would be a waste of useful time that could have been spent on something more productive and result oriented.
I’m surprised by the fact that the taller and more promising looking boat crew did not always have the final say on the runs and the swims. I am surprised that the best boat crew was made up of little guys that did not measure up to the others in terms of height and stature. I am surprised that irrespective of their cultural diversity, the five Munchkin boat crew members were more successful. I am even more surprised that they out ran the taller guys irrespective of their height. I am surprised that we can change the lives of 800 million people, from an initial interaction with only 10,000 people.
I agree with the speaker when he said that one decision, right or wrong can change the life of

If there were ladies, were the ladies treated differently? In his speech, Admiral McRaven said, his class started with “150 men” was the word men in his speech gender specific? Does it really mean boys, or was it a connotation for bodies, people or humans? I want to know more on how to measure a person by the size of their

Tests and decisions are as numerous in any man's life as are the beats of his heart. The consequences follow him forever - he is judged by them and they affect his entire existence. However, judgement should not be passed on a man's single decisions individually, but only by observing how he has chosen to live his life.
When there is a dilemma that affects a group of people, actions by the right people can be

Focusing on the physical differences between the affluent cadets who averaged 5’1” and towered over the poor young mariners who averaged just 4’3” at the time. Noting that as time in service progressed their heights would begin to converge. The question why this drastic difference size came with rather simple answer. The low income families of the young mariners and the inequitable access to quality food. Nutrition or lack thereof would lead to a history plagued by chronic disease and illness, as well a shortened life
“The Boat”, narrated by a Mid-western university professor, Alistar MacLeod, is a short story concerning a family and their different perspectives on freedom vs. tradition. The mother pushes the son to embrace more of a traditional lifestyle by taking over the fathers fishing business, while on the other hand the father pushes the son to live more autonomously in an unconstrained manner. “The Boat” focuses on the father and how his personality influences the son’s choice on how to live and how to make decisions that will ultimately affect his life. In Alistair MacLeod’s, “The Boat”, MacLeod suggest that although dreams and desires give people purpose, the nobility of accepting a life of discontentment out weighs the selfishness of following ones own true desires. In the story, the father is obligated to provide for his family as well as to continue the fishing tradition that was inherited from his own father. The mother emphasizes the boat and it’s significance when she consistently asked the father “ How did things go in the boat today” since tradition was paramount to the mother. H...

Nobody wants to be unextrordinary, unremarkable, unmemorable. Tim Burton’s Big Fish and Yann Martel’s Life of Pi, both together and individually, teach that sometimes the best story stretches the truth, because of an aversion to “dry, yeastless factuality” or simply an aspiration to be remembered.
This quote shows that your choices create opportunities to learn lessons and influence your choices and behavior with the interactions you make.
Stephen Crane’s story “The Open Boat” concerns four people who are trying to reach land after surviving a shipwreck off of the Florida coast. During the course of the story, they face dangers that are real physical threats, but they also have to deal with trying to make sense of their situation. The characters in this story cope with their struggles in two ways: individually, they each imagine that Nature, or Fate, or God, is behind their experiences, which allows them to blame some outside force for their struggle, and together, they form a bond of friendship that helps them keep their spirits up. .
What is The Whale Rider about? Is it like every other story? This book is called The Whale Rider by Witi Ihimaera. The Whale Rider isn’t like every other story I’ve read before. This story has a strong female leader who never gave up in what she thought her destiny was. When I finished the story I believe that the theme of The Whale Rider was to overcome the odds to achieve the greatness. Koro Apirana always thought that Kahu was bad luck to the tribe. Kahu never gave up in her grandfather in making him happy. Kahu also never gave up in impressing and showing everyone that she can be the next chief in in line.
...nefits not only him but the society as well. Thus, the behavior of people is not determined by forces that are not of their own making. Rather, it depends on how a person takes measures to deal with those forces.
However, the true fact is one small group of people or even a single person can make a difference.
