Norman Vincent Peale

A great author, Norman Vincent Peale, (n.d) had once said, “I believe there are two sides to the phenomenon known as death, this side where we live, and the other side where we shall continue to live. Eternity does not start with death. We are in eternity now”. That was the only thought buzzing my mind when I got out of my client, Jenny’s house. Jenny recently lost her husband but in his funeral she looked calm, happy and acted like she was not grieving at all. Her families were concerned and had

first to wake up but the year 2012 came with a change, I was the last to wake up that day which was rare on any given day for I am the type of person who admires repetition especially involving the time I wake up because I stand for a saying Norman Vincent Peale once said “Repetition of the same thought or physical action develops into a habit which repeated frequently enough becomes an automatic reflex”. Even though my sleeping time was distorted I didn’t let it distract me from my objective of the

The Only Thing We Have to Fear is Fear Itself As a child I would hear about Halloween through the radio and television, and would see decorations at big stores during season. I would hear around my town that Halloween was something bad and that we should not practice it. According to my culture, it was perceived as wrong because people thought it would attract witches and the devil. Almost three years ago, since I first came to America, I had the opportunity to experience Halloween myself. Instead

There are some important factors that determine success. Time management, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence are just a few. Victor Hugo once said, “He who every morning plans the transactions of that day and follows that plan carries a thread that will guide him through the labyrinth of the most busy life.” (Goodreads Inc., 2014) Organization comes from prioritizing. This skill is one that easily eludes people. Sew the seeds of success early, plan to be sucessful. We must work the field

Dante Says Up (A critique on Dante’s The Inferno, Up On Your Feet Passage) As the great Norman Vincent Peale once said, “The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.” In Dante’s The Inferno, he creates a vivid image of what his version of hell looks like. Hell isn’t the typical hell, which they talk about in movies. You have to put everything else away when you start to read about Dante’s The Inferno. In Canto XXIV, circle eight, the passage, “Up

In my novel, Shattered Air, their were numerous literary devices in the few pages I read. Foreshadowing, "Before they departed Glacier Point, Clu Cotter bought a postcard showing a lightning bolt striking Half Dome"(page 93 Madgic). The reason why I choose this literary device is that the narrator has been talking about how the sky's are starting to turn darker and darker. Even the park rangers put up signs saying do not go up the summit if storm is on the way. Another reason why I choose foreshadowing

The book, published in 1952, is still relevant to our changing world. The book teaches on the application of certain techniques to take control, and overcome negative situations in life. In Chapters 1-4, Robert Peale addressed the problem of inferiority complex in the society and suggested ten ways to deal with the

“The Coddling of the American Mind” by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt is a short work written to inform people on an epidemic that is affecting colleges and universities around America. The article talks about certain “words, ideas, and subjects that might cause discomfort or give offense” (Lukianoff) and how students are asking for them to not be said. Much is covered on the topic including specific examples of how people were persecuted for saying such things and various opinions on if this

After analyzing the video on whether or not Jim's actions were ethical by not reporting the injury incident, I would have to imply that his dilemma was not only morally unethical, but lawfully unethical as well. By utilizing the deontology model that states to uphold certain underlying principles whether right or wrong and regardless of the circumstances, it is clear this ethical stand-point of "rule-based" approaches has been breached and a company's standard operating procedures were not met

Writing Assignment It seems to me that everyone knows Ida Keller. They seem to all know me from school, church, my mom or dad, my brother, or some other reason. If they are telling a story about me they and a person didn’t know me they would describe me as: blue eyes, brown hair, Caucasian, fat, and tall. How would I describe myself? Smart, loving, kindhearted, wanted, a jokester, bold, cheerful, corny, faithful, spirited, and uniquely myself. My family is not your average family, even though
