It is important to keep a balance of the important things in one’s life otherwise, weaknesses can be developed that shadows over a person’s natural strength to prioritize. A balance of the important things in one’s life is what allows personal success to be achieved. Successfulness is the ability to seize new opportunities and explore new paths in life. Balance is the key to success because when there is balance in one’s life there is a cut back of stress, which makes room for the ability to thrive; and a person’s ability to thrive is what carries them to their personal success. To be successful is to understand what is important to you, to recognize your weaknesses without hiding behind them, to strive for balance as well as open new doors in life.
Conflicts of Altruism to Profit Lora Ririe Biology Abstract Altruism and profit are two forces that deeply influence research. As can been seen with the HeLa cells, the research began as an altruistic project but then progressed to a profit gaining product. If all scientific experiments and research were conducted for profit, immorality would occur. On the other hand, if all research was based on altruism, hardly any progress in the scientific field would be made due to lack of funding and protests. However, the risks of profit lead research can be seen in Southam’s experimentations and skin cream products today.
This is a strict requirement, as it demands too much from individuals to always be motivated to promote the general happiness. I will first analyse Singer’s argument, which defends utilitarianisms demandingness and then go onto Williams’ argument, which attacks utilitarianism for being too demanding. Towards the end of this paper it should be evident that consequentialist moral theories such as utilitarianism demand too much from moral agents and are only useful to look at as a utopia where utility is maximized. The following example demonstrates the basic idea of utilitarianism. If my £100 could maximize utility more efficiently when I donate it to famine relief rather than spending it on new shoes utilitarianism would argue that it is morally wrong to do anything other than what maximizes utility, therefore it is morally wrong for me to buy the shoes (Stanford Encyclopaedia, 2003).
Often success is brought about by change, a change that is usually for the better, even if at first only despair and pain seem present. Success can only be attained through realization of oneself and personal growth. Personal success is derived not only from realizing that an accomplishment has been made, but also the evidential growth through its achievement. Without having knowledge of what needs to be changed, one cannot hope to succeed through remedying the situation. In Fahrenheit 451, Clarisse McClellan posed a question to Guy Montag, one that started the foreign clockwork that was thinking.
A franchise is a form of business organization in which a firm already has a successful product or service, ("Investorsword.com", 2012). The franchisor then enters into a continuing contractual relationship with other businesses for the use of their product or service for a fee. A franchise would be an excellent choice for an individual who has the funds to start up a business. Starting up a business is a high risk taker because one doesn’t know what to expect. With a franchise the risk is somewhat lower because the business has already proven itself to be successful.
With the birth control pill the prevention level is high and this would be the most important factor in Linda’s situation. Although it is to prevent pregnancy, the birth control pill will not prevent Linda from contracting any sexually transmitted diseases so it would not hurt Linda to also have any and all of her sexual partners to use a condom. Along with using the birth control pill, Linda could use the combination of the condom and the spermicide to prevent both pregnancy and STDs. By combining these two methods, she would give herself a much higher level of prevention rate that the birth control pill does not
These factors that many think that could be adversarial are race, gender, sexual orientation, and pedigree. Those people believe that all those components will be a problem to some who think that just working hard is enough to become successful. Although many people such as Horatio Alger, the author of “Ragged Dick”, have different opinions on how an individual can accomplish something in life, everyone achieves success differently. For most citizens of America, they believe that they must work hard to achieve what they want in life. Some do not think that any other factors such as race or social economic status can affect the outcome of an individual’s life.
They feel that they do not have time to take care of themselves, so they continue to hesitate between these two spaces. Thanks to research in Positive Psychology, we know that this way of approaching work, does not work as it is backwards. I believe if we can find a way of becoming positive in the present, then our brains work even more successfully, as we’re able to work harder, faster and more intelligent. 6) What are the implications or consequences of the speaker’s conclusions? The only issue I could think of would be people are not sure that this constant focus on happiness is healthy or desirable.
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.
This essay will discuss how someone's level of future success is determined by the amount and types of extrinsic factors in their lives.Despite this can be argued by people that believe that an individual's success is determined by intrinsic factors which are psychological.Extrinsic factors could be money, things you see in your neighborhood, actions you make.In the book “The Other Wes Moore” you can see that some extrinsic factors had an impact on the success of the both Wes’s because the factors were pushing The Author Wes to succeed and holding down or limiting the Other Wes from succeeding.If both had the same opportunities and help they would have become identically lucrative they might not both have become authors, but they would have
