I learned humility through life struggles that have shown me that people who are arrogant and boastful aren’t really liked. I am a caring person I care for everyone and want to see the best out of everyone. If there is anything I can do to help someone be a better person than they already are I will do so. Caring for other people just seems to come natural to me. I learned to stay strong and never allow my fear to limit me.
Pausch in the non-fiction, The Last Lecture, explains to us how to live our lives more enjoyable. Pausch supports his theories by describing his experiences in his life. His purpose to do this is he wants to see people live a more productive and fun life in order for this world to reach its full potentials.

Only the Strong Survive Reading the headlines and watching the news, we see some of the saddest things happen to the most innocent people on a daily basis. My whole life I have heard it said that, “No one can truly say that they know when life really begins or ends”. But I think that the challenges and hardships that we face day to day is what makes life so surreal. No one really knows when their day will come. Although, we know that we are not guaranteed tomorrow.

One of my main takeaways from this topic is that money isn’t the best motivator. According to Mayo’s Hawthorne effect, employees feel more motivated when their efforts are recognized, and this can be achieved through bonuses for example.

It shows how from the day he made this mistake he felts shame for what he did for the rest of his life until he actually decides to go out and do something about it. Since this is one of the most important messages and morals throughout the course of the story, there is doubt that shame is in fact a destructive force since it is one of the authors main goals to get the point across. Shame can always be broken down into a before and after process, and even though some do not take the time to fix what they started there is always a way to do so. It can certainly take control of your life and affect the decisions you make in the future which is what happened in Amir's case.

No matter what mistakes or bad choices you have made, you can dust yourself off and try again. The most motivational piece to me “I know I can, be what I wanna be, if I work hard at I be where I wanna be.” this motivates me because it teaches me that in order to get where I want to get I have to work hard for it. You have to work hard and struggle to be the best and have the best. Many people put their obstacles and past experiences in the way of being successful and use that as an excuse. When you are striving to be the best you have to keep in mind that “its not going to be easy but at the end its worth it.” This song has taught me to keep my head up no matter what my obstacles and tribulations are and to keep
Being knocked down a peg in society brings us back to wishing we could just accept or afford the little house with the picket fence. As soon as we are able to fulfill that dream again, if ever, we become greedy again.

For some people they struggle to live the American dream and tend look to the government for help. Feeling helpless due to the economy they become addicted to claiming help from other sources other than themselves because it just seems easier.
