Lily uses repetition to get her point across. In paragraph two, Lily repeats the phrase ‘I know for a fact’ five times. This shows that she knows what she is talking about. She knows what teachers do behind the scenes and that is definitely not just to teach a class for a period or two each day. No, they also help their students in areas they are unsure of and they must also work overtime to prepare the materials for the next day.

Lily uses anecdotes in this letter. She talks about how all her teachers are willing to help her out and her close relationship with her teachers. The student-teacher relationships are so close that they can be called friends. Through her own personal stories, Lily was able to show the readers how important teachers are to their students.

In the last paragraph, Lily indirectly blames the officials who decide teachers’ wages. She doesn’t blame the teachers who aren’t teaching their classes and are on strike. She agrees with the teachers in that they should receive higher pay for what their hard work.

Overall, I think Lily’s letter to The Age is very persuasive and can sway readers into supports for teachers.

Crush them

Are we afraid of Anna? This is true, Anna wants to fight with corruption with all his might and look at the way they are trying to crush his movement. They are even trying to prove him a corrupt person. I think our government has forgotten all norms and ethics and is trying its best to suppress the efforts done by persons who are really thinking to uplift the face of the democracy and fight the corruption.

Government crush such agitations for the time being but not for ever, the day is not too far off when all such corrupt ministers and their supporters will be facing the music on the roads. I can see of their supporters everywhere including our neighborhood and making a list of them. Every one is too disgusted and feeling to suppress.

I am sure the government of our country will know the importance of selfless and honest people and give them their true place that they really deserve. They do not deserve the jail, where they are being, sent.

No matter what kind of fulfilling life you are looking for these five secrets will help you get started in the right direction:

1.  What are the things you love?

For example.  Have you always wanted to travel more, or more, or perhaps to paint or write poetry?

• What do you really like, the immediate plan for how to do it and do it often..

• Do not make excuses for why “can not” do.

• Making it happen: Mark your calendar, and if necessary, turn off invitations from others if they interfere with their plans.

• Create an action plan to help work on your goal and make sure they do what is necessary to achieve your goal.

2.  Be open to new possibilities.

Be prepared to try new things.  Keeping an open mind, an interesting and exciting is going to happen for you.  You may come across something that will give you the greatest satisfaction in life when one is willing to try new things.

For example, you can:

• make new friends, which is completely different;

• Perhaps you can find the club has been invited to participate;

• Maybe you could have the opportunity to transfer to a job in another state.

3.  Save for something that is very special.

Whatever you really want – a new car or an apartment, or maybe go on a pleasure cruise – focus on that and work and save for it.  Go for something you really do not want to comply with the good life.

• Starting a bank account so you can save up especially for the experience or object you want.  Be sure to make regular deposits to your account.

• Save money for a while and then use it to buy their “dream” and then do it again for another dream.  This brings to completion the good life and allows you to set and achieve milestones in his life.

4.  Create a wide support.

Create a circle of support, raising family and friends by building strong relationships with people who appreciate you.  Enrich your life a lot more people around you that you can call for help, advice and support.

5.  Cultivate a sense of adventure.

When you wake in the morning, we expect the next 24 hours with expectations.

• When problems arise, confront them and do their best to overcome them.  By adopting this mindset will actually discover valuable knowledge about themselves and the world around you.

• Make things happen every day.

• When life as a fairy large, composed of small fascinating experiences you will experience life the great achievement.

Conclusion

If you really want more from life, and then try to do things I love most.  Start your day with a spirit of adventure and being open to new possibilities.  If you do, and if you follow these five guidelines, you will discover the vibrant life you deserve and you will experience the fulfillment of life.

There are quite a few women and men that end up in this type of relationship. This is not a healthy relationship. Two people in love should treat each other equally. If they don’t , is it really love? Most likely not. A love relationship does not have to be a fairytale. But someone controlling you like your some kind of servant, is not love.  

 We all deserve to be treated equally. We all deserve to feel loved. Staying in a relationship where someone is controlling you, is not going to bring you the happiness that you deserve. Most likely a person in this situation is not happy. So what are you waiting for? Follow your heart and find that love you deserve……

Everyone wants respect.  Respect comes in a couple different forms which depend on each other.  A lack of self respect and respect for others may result in a serious mistake in your own life.  If you have the right amount of respect, you will be just fine.  Having respect may be the biggest thing in your life to work on.  Respect will change your life and make you have a different attitude about living.

  If someone is having a bad day and has no self respect for others, he may rub off on another and put him in a bad mood.  Self respect and respect for others are closely related and depend on each other.  Not caring about things leads to having no respect for other’s feelings.  A person may not care or notice that he is being rude and uncaring.  These two types of respect help keep each other in line if the respect is not right.

If you do not respect yourself, you could do careless actions.  You may act upon things that can alter the rest of your life, giving you less respect.  Our lives depend on self respect and how much we have of it.  Not having respect may lead to taking drugs, getting tattoos, and may include doing dangerous stunts.  If people don’t have respect they probably don’t care about their lives and wouldn’t want to be on the earth. You should also not have too much self respect or you will be caught up in yourself and don’t care for others.

Respect should be given to all living and nonliving things, and if people don’t, they may be taken from existence.  You should respect things other than yourself.  Any animal could die due to not caring to feed it, the atmosphere could get polluted due to others not caring at all.  There are no reasons that you should be harsh to anyone or anything.  Respect should be given to all who deserve to receive it and not to the ones that do not deserve it.

Our life depends on the respect we have for ourselves and others.  Different ways of living depend on how much respect we have.  Mistreating creatures and causing others to become depressed are ways to have a lack of respect for each other.  People should not overlook respect and should use it wisely for themselves and others.  Have respect for others so all can coexist with you.

Picture Source

I once read, and sincerely believe that God opens His doors and says you can have anything you want in life, but you simply have to be ready for it. You have to believe in your heart that not only do you deserve it, but that God is eager and willing to give you anything and everything your heart has every desired.

Something else very important that I read is that, God only continues to bless those who continue to bless other people. So, for example, if you receive the job of your dreams, but stop blessing others in your life, eventually He will find a way to make you give back to others. If you are blessed with a new relationship, He will make sure that you teach others how to find an equally beautiful and loving significant other. Once He gives you something, rest assured He will put you to work to make sure that you truly do deserve His precious blessings. He knows what He’s doing and every single day He’s testing you to make sure your heart is as pure and beautiful as you think it is. If it’s not, He will keep giving you tasks until you learn from them and are catapulted to the next level in your spiritual journey.

I also sincerely believe that the closer you get to being in touch with your heart and true spirit, God begins to send more messages your way. You start to see miracles and blessings in every thing you do. For example, yesterday I went to my favorite healthy convenient store and as I pulled into the parking lot another car drove turning around the corner. There was an empty spot and though it was far from the convenient store sometimes the lot fills entirely and you’re best to take any spot you can find right away. But, because we came up to the spot about the same time and that particular driver was already in the parking lot (I figured possibly driving around for awhile) I gestured for him to take the spot. He quickly motioned that I could take it. I took this as a sign that I was meant to park in that spot. (This is important to the timing of the rest of the story. You see if I hadn’t parked there, and walked that far distance, I wouldn’t have been there in time for what happened below.)

After parking, I then walked all through the parking lot, purchased my things and left as usual. However, as I was leaving I saw this lady walking with a cane holding large gym bag stop at her car and rest her cane against it. For a moment, I thought, I want to help this lady, but then other thoughts flooded in “what if she doesn’t want my help?” (some people feel pride and don’t want to be helped) and “what if she hurts me?” (once I tried to help a homeless lady who then ended up stealing my credit card and hitting me, which she later returned, but that’s another long story).

So given all this internal dialogue, I kept walking trusting that if God wants me to do something He’ll show me. And, just at that moment, I heard her cane fall to the ground.

I turned and said, “Let me get that for you.” She smiled and I said, “What can I do to help?” She said that she just needed to get her keys out of her pocket so if I could please hold onto her cane. I did.

While she was fishing her keys out of her pocket, I noticed that the handle on her cane was very unique. I could tell she was pleased that I noticed and said, “Yes, most canes have that round shape.”

Then she opened her door and I put her bag into her car. After closing the door she stuck her hand out to shake my hand, instead I embraced her.

“Have a beautiful day!” I said.

And, she looked me in the eyes with the most beautiful twinkle in hers that one can possible ever imagine and said, “It’s already been a beautiful day, because of you.”

I left and knew that I must be doing something right for God to bless me with such an amazing, unique story to be able to tell. To me that compliment is beyond a success, it’s a miracle and a blessing.

I have been stepping into the new world of sales. I have never endeavored into this field before and have been learning much about myself and the world in the process.

I told a close guy friend about what I have been doing lately, some of my recent stressors (i.e. estranged from my “adopted” family, recent reuniting, robbed, and financial issues) and he told me to keep my job searching options open.

It’s funny sometimes, until you have someone come into your life that sort of “opens your eyes” to the possibilities in life, I find that I tend to just settle with what I come across in the moment. It is wonderful to know that just with those words, its okay to “court the working market” and keep my options open. While my financial situation makes it necessary to keep making money in the meantime, I at least have some things I know I can fall back on. Right now though, I am trying to believe in myself and trying to keep myself as open as possible. I know I do not want to return to an office job that has very little room for salary growth and opportunity potential. I know that my time, skills and intelligence are priceless. I set my goals high because I do believe in myself and the vision of the dream life I have in my mind.

It’s funny once you start to open new doors and begin stepping into new avenues that you’ve never ventured into before you start to feel more confident about doing it more often.

I just set up another interview on Friday. I am leery and wiser this time. I know that I need to ask more questions. I need to be sure that they are not hiding anything behind their “sales” curtains so that I do not commit once again to a position that sounds too good to be true. While it has been an important learning experience for me, it has also been stressful at moments. It is teaching me that I am capable of anything though. That I can meet new people and make strong connections instantly, but I still need to pay the bills.

Sometimes I envision the idea of going four steps up the ladder and falling down three. It seems sometimes in life we must fall back in order to continue to move forward. But, sometimes I notice that there are people who can just continue to move forward steadily with every aspect of their lives.

I believe such people are able to do this because they have strong foundations with friends, interests, etc. that hold them sturdy when times get tough and help them not to fall when they might not feel their strongest at any given moment. You must do these things for yourself as well. While such valuable things might not happen overnight, the more you steadily work at them the stronger and more beautiful they will become.

Never give up on yourself. Never give up on your dreams and the vision of the life you want for yourself. You deserve everything your heart desires.

Best wishes to all.
