CHAPTER ONE In chapter one, Siddhartha learned that the love of his family would not always be enough to satisfy him. In order for him to lead a fulfilling life, he must venture out on his own and discover what really makes him happy, and what his life’s purpose is. In my life, I’ve learned that if your heart tells you that something you’re doing is morally wrong, do not do it by any means. I’ve been in way too many situations where I’ve regretted not listening to what my heart had to tell me. If you feel that something you’re doing could possibly be wrong, it is best to stop what you’re doing a really think about your choices CHAPTER TWO In chapter two, Siddhartha learned the ways of the Samanas, which is the group he chose to follow.
Being overweight all my life has definitely been a struggle. I wouldn’t say that it’s always had a negative impact on my life but it has taken me thru a lot of ups and downs. As a kid I was never picked on for being overweight, like most overweight kids often go thru. I can remember a couple incidents of being picked last when it came to any physical activity games. Getting older I went thru a phase where I always wanted to cover up (jacket, big clothes ect), but after that phase I became comfortable in my own skin.
This fear inhibits me and keeps me in my comfort zone. It is strange that I have such doubts about these areas, because I have been able to achieve success in both areas of education and my career. But, my mindset doubts my abilities and keeps my in my comfort zone where I feel safe. What are the inhibitors associated with making that change? Inhibitors associated with
Not having the proper precautions in place could mean losing it all. It should be looked at as an insurance policy if anything goes wrong at the Café. Machines and hardware can fail. While we’ve made huge strides in the reliance of our technology, it’s still not perfect and is bound to have issues here and there. While it can be expensive for my Broadway Café to eliminate any single point of failure in my IT infrastructure, having this in play can possibly be the only way I know for sure that a hardware failure will not interrupt my service or cause data loss.
The success of the program is determined by the individual’s commitment to change behavior that has worked in their past for new behavior that may change their future and present life. This author did not achieve the desired success from this program due to lack of commitment and desire to change. There are many similar weight loss type programs available with varied results, however, what they do have in common is the individual’s need to commit to change, without this element the desired goals cannot be
"America will never get its act together until we recognize how much trouble we're really in, and how much effort and shared sacrafice is needed to stop the decline. Only then will we be able to begin resuscitating the dream" (567). Cal Thomas, the author of "Is the American Dream Over?," agrees with Bob Herbert's statement "America will never get its act together until we recognize how much trouble we're really in" (Thomas 570). But Thomas only agrees with Herbert's statement to a certain extent. Thomas feels as though that Herbert is right but he's only pointing out the obvious in the matter.
We cannot force happiness in our consciousness. Recognize that we cannot be always happy is a big challenge because it means that we have to give space in our life to sadness as well. We would not expect us to feel happiness after we lost a relative. Although the psychological immune system engages immediately (we will never see our relative again!) by trying to explain the phenomenon, it takes time in the consciousness to adapt to the positive idea (He is going off to a better place), relieving us from that unhappy condition in which we encounter.
Because of the injury I will never run, surf, stand for longer than 10 minutes, or hike again. These use to be my favorite things to do but the outcome far outweighs what would of happened if the clerk would of just filed my shot records correctly. Because of this injury it has saved my life a couple of times that I know of. The day I had my hip replacement surgery is the day that my unit left for Iraq. Of course I was upset to not be able to go and be with my brothers and sisters but the injury held me back and that’s life not much I could do about it.
It was a long time since we had passed beyond the limits of fatigue. Our legs were moving mechanically, in spite of us, without us" (page 83). During there long journeys from camp to camp they’ve lost many people due to trying to survive. They go days without sleeping, eating and even just resting. Without sleep you start to get really weak, hallucinate, and you could possibly die.
It is hard to balance certain things with an internal locus of control because there can be self blaming when things do not turn out the way that you wish. You have to be honest with yourself in how external things may affect all good reasoning for you, and understand there are outside influences that can alter your wonderful intentions. As an example, since I have an internal locus of control, I believe that you make your own destiny, yet there can be reasons why certain things do not happen the way that you want them to. I applied for a job about 6 years ago and had scheduled an interview with my potential employer, found myself getting excited at the prospect of making more money, and working in an office. As luck would have it, a blizzard kept me from being able to attend the interview at that time.
