I created thought provoking art work that earned worldly recognition. I was featured in those dos equis commercials as the most interesting man in the world. I was called the calmest man in the world by time traveling Ghandi. Abraham Lincoln called me a strong man with great morals and a sound mind. I got this award much like spongebob did in that one episode because I was one of the happiest people durring this past year.

My Ten Ideas

Truly try your hardest: I think the only way to get better is to exit your comfort zone because only once you are there can you progress. I also think that if I put all my effort in I will feel good about my work.

Loving family: Being lonely stinks, I feel that having family and in another way friends who are as close to family as possible are important. Family help through hard times and are always people to lean back on.

Always look at different angles of a problem: I think looking at different angles of a problem can make a big difference in making decisions. It is very important because stubborn people don't make great party guests.

Stress can be good: Swim and exercise is a great outlet to keep me happy and the stress my body is put under is healthy. Stress is important because from it I create some of my best work.

Showing respect: Always be polite this is important to me because the polite man is the better man. A rude man with power gets less respect than a polite man with nothing, or at least that is how I approach this lesson.

Don't give up but be prepared for change: Change is important to life without it our brains would grow stagnant. People complain about their minimun wage stupid jobs because they don't change the daily routine is the same over and over again, I want to avoid that with all costs.

Eat Healthy despite your income: Eating healthy is necessary to a healthy body which leads to a healthier life. I think there is the ability to eat healthy despite income and this is something I should push to do no matter my future circumstances.

Do your own work: I would never feel good about stealing from someones creative design, if I was to borrow I would still give credit. I know human advancement is based on people working off what others have created so it is important to take in but not steal.

Don't forget about others: Respect and being social leads to a better life/ offers new experiences. I know people may not like what I do and I shouldn't make their lives harder because of my actions.

Be prepared: Accept consequences but be ready for anything.

Time's person of the year

Three people who jumped out at me from the list of men of the year were The Generation twenty-five and under, Richard Nixon, and Charles Lindenberg. The Generation was the baby boomers and I admire them because they are all around me, my dad was one of the last baby boomers. They shaped society for future generations and are still effecting society in the nursing homes. I also admire Charles Lindenberg for his courage to fly over the atlantic being the first at something is getting harder and harder to do as humans progress and his courage to fly is impressive. Nixon is not so much someone I admire more someone I found surprised to be on the list, twice. Nixon is someone to admire as an interesting subject he loved football more than the USA and he didn't do much to help the people but I suppose the watergate scandal did cause a lot of commotion.

Running right through the world

The perfect stride
Runners, from what I've observed, seem to be the craziest athletes alive. I use alive lightly as the slightest shove can shatter, crush, or vaporize their bones. Their dedication can be quite alienating because it is so extreme. American culture tends to look down upon obsession if someone runs every day even in the winter people comment that they are crazy. Our culture seems to be full of people not trying their best because social stigmas have caused them to grow up thinking putting your heart into something is a bad idea. These guys have been running since they were born and they will give anything to be the best, why can't society try its best I'm sure if everyone was as dedicated as these men are life standards would be better. The coach in this article has hardly ever missed a day and his push has made him content with himself.

A piece of their mind
Twins often times claim they can read each others thoughts however none could claim to share the same brain. These girls are going to have a hard life trying to cope with and accept their attachment. Their mom didn't abort them even knowing that they will be born like they were. I think this shows that a mother has a huge amount of love for their children regardless of any negative aspects. I wonder if they have the ability to become super smart because when they learn something they are processing it together giving them two views and making it easier to figure problems out. This article has made me wonder is it better to have a few close friends or one friend that knows everything. How these girls will think is fascinating will they try to please their parents in the same ways? This article rases a lot of questions but can't really provide any answers, the future of these girls is going to be very interesting.
