Do not complain, learn

 "Your attitude will determine your success in life. You are the one who decides what type of attitude you have; it is your choice!"


Education … has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.

— G. M. Trevelyan British historian

Today I learned I am a great asset to my world! 

"It’s so easy to complain. Most of the time we do it for sympathy or for encouragement. 

With social media at our fingertips, it’s so easy to flood our timelines with gripes about money, work, and health. It seems like every day there is someone complaining about something. We use Facebook not as entertainment any longer, we use it to complain about other people, work, school, and the worst we use it to gossip about other people. when we feel down it is so easy to sign into our social media and have a bitch session, things we send in text get mixed up so easy these days, I find myself not commenting on my family text any longer, instead I say if you need me or need something, please call me! wow it does not go over very well with my girls. I think our lives have been so focused on the fast lane, we forget we are humans not computers. we the people are getting lazy, we no longer go for walks, go to the movies with friends and family, we don't play games as families any longer "Video games don't count " I wish we could go back to the days we played outside, went to the drive in with our family and friends, soon we won't ever have to leave the house for anything, oh wait we do that now, shoot we don't even have to go shopping any longer, we order everything online. our bodies are becoming fat. what will our grandchildren's world be like?       

Ok now I have been complaining. 

 Did complaining solve the problem? Nope. Does it really help? Not that you can tell. It might make you feel better at the moment, but it doesn’t resolve anything. nope the only things that helps is to change your own life. be grateful every day for who you are and what you changed in your life to make the world a little better. 


My favorite quotes" spending today complaining about yesterday won't make tomorrow any better!

vocabulary word from yesterday scared, I am not scared about tomorrow, it hasn't gotten here yet. 
 
Intemperate means "having extreme conditions" or "having or showing a lack of emotional calmness or control."

The football coach from the Forty niners apologized for his team's intemperate rant against the other team.

Using my brain to succeed

  “It would behoove you to have your  thesis  finely tuned and the logical arguments utilized in support of it tightly woven into a credible, and creatively persuasive tapestry.” ― R. Alan Woods, My week was long. Learning is fun but sometimes it takes longer to write correctly. This week I learned the pros and cons of counterpoints. how to write a refutation. I watched many videos this week so I understood how to do my assignment. Jonny did an excellent job with his lectures, but I like to see how it would be live on YouTube. The assignment this week will help me in the future to help me focus on my essays.  I found the assignment was easier to understand using my peers.  I had never heard of the word  refutation  NOUN the action of proving a statement or theory to be wrong or false: "scientific theory is always tentative, open to refutation" ·  "he fails to give a clear refutation of the argument" Using the word for my argument against a counter...

Learning anew way!

  “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to  live forever.”  – Mahatma Gandhi This week has been a true eye-opener for me, I can see how using my computer for many years of writing has caused me to forget how to use proper grammar. I will need to set goals to relearn how to write. The ideas Orwell has written are a much easier way of explaining things to me, I mean it is still hard, but it puts things in perspective .    This week I have learned so much that I will remember for years to come, reading Orwell this week was an eye-opener. This week I had a hard time with punctuation, I have always had a hard time with it. Today I downloaded an app to help me hear what I wrote, I think it will help me to end a sentence and use my language. I have made some new goals for the rest of the semester, and some longer-term goals as well.    This week was my second week working in my internship, it was nice to hear that someone loved my work,...

This Weeks Lesson, My Age is Showing In My Writing.

 " Even if individual researchers are prone to falling in love with their own theories, the broader process of peer review and institutionalized skepticism are designed to ensure that, eventually, the best ideas prevail.   " Chris Mooney Peer reviews helped me to see the lower levels of my writing skills.  Peer review allows me to share my writing and get feedback to perfect my writing.  The feedback I get will help me revise my paper in a shorter time frame; therefore, It will cut down the time I write. This will allow me to utilize my time on other learning abilities I can perfect, such as vocabulary.  Why do you think we're discussing this idea? This week we were discussing peer review. It is helping me see that I can learn faster to write a perfect paper.  How might these ideas be applicable in future writing (both in and out of class)? I think that peer review or any review that I get from my writing will benefit me in the future. Finding someone will ...
