Tuesdays With Morrie
This is one of the best books I've every written. It is not the plot but the life lessons one can learn that makes this book so valuable. It is a book with a powerful theme. The meaning of life something we should all be very intrested in. My favorite part of the book is when Morrie explains to Mitch about the importance of serving others. I can definatly relate. I feel happiest when I can serve or help others without getting anything in return. This really gives you a feeling of love and satisfaction. Perhaps the most important lesson I've learned from Morrie is to love. I finally relized that being loving is the key to feeling happy and content with yourself! Thanks Morrie for the valuable lesson.
The World As I See It
I see the universe as it is. Infinate. Infinatly small and infinatly large. People made up of billions of cells and galaxys made up of billions of stars. The earth our home is a cell in an unknown body. It is our job that we make sure we are not a cancer to the earth. But I also see ignorance. Ignorance to the truth. We are all one. But mankind sees themselves as separate from nature and this has caused global warming. So see the Earth as I do. See the Earth as a reflection of you. Treat it as you would yourself. Treat it with kindness and love. The Earth has its rainy days and its sunny days. We have sad days and good days. We need this planet and our planet needs us. Jesus tells us to treat others as we would like to be treated.We must recognize that we are one with the universe. What we release to the universe is what you get in return. Buddist call this karma. So don't kill the Earth, your killing yourself.

Success Success Success
According to Loth in her essay she tells us success is really hard to define for everyone. This is because we all have different definitions and beliefs about success. Loth definatly made me question my definition of success. I'm more unsure about success than ever, but I've learned one thing. We all want to be happy! So I know now forsure that my definition of success must include being happy. Now how do I go about doing this? I'm unsure of that as well. But I do know in order to feel happy we should live more in the moment and stop day dreaming or thinking about your problems. I must also learn to become a more loving, caring, and respectful person.

Book review
Go Ask Alice, a great book by an unknown author and published by Avon Books. The book is mainly about drug addiction and the horrors it comes with. It is a young girl named Alice's dairy. She begins her diary as a normal young teenage girl but soon goes into a deep drug addiction spiral. It takes place in an unknown college town as well as San Francisco where she moves to with a close friend. The diary gets up close and personal to a drug addict and really gives the reader a good insite on what it is like to fall in to drugs. A very surreal feeling. The book was very exciting and also eye opening. I definatly recommend it to every reader of all ages. Mostly because its very good at raising awarwness of drugs and the dangers that come with them. Two thumbs up a MUST read.

AD Analysis
I chose to analyze brake advertisements one is for Hawk Performance and the other EBC Brakes. Right away I notice that they both use Professional race car drivers to convince readers to buy. Hawk Performance uses Skip Barber and EBC Brakes uses Jeff Jones a professional drift racer. One major difference between the two is EBC Brakes uses sexuality in its ad. I believe it is done to catch the readers attention. They has a half naked female which I'm sure will catch the attention of its male readers. This add is defiantly for male audience. The both give the value of power and strength which is what one would want for brakes. Both are effective ads.
Success
I broke down the keys to success. Believe to achieve great success one must create goals, good habits, be possitve, and also meditate or visualize. Creating goals is essential because it takes a big dream and cuts it down to smaller steps. A goal is like a stair step. One can't make it to the top of the stair case without taking multiple steps to get there. Habits are what will allow you to reach your goals. For example if you want to be fit you must create a workout habit. You will never be fit by keeping your "sleep all day' habit although that would be nice. Also positivity is the fuel the motivation. If your thinking negative how will you inspire your self to keep going or to work hard? Its simple you can't. Lastly meditation, there are different types of meditation but for this I'm talking more about visualization. One must visualize or see what they want in thier mind. They must know exactly what they want or else how will they get it? The following picture was created by me:)

Live in Beauty
God is great.
Ulimited power to create.
For he has made sky and land.
Mountains tall they stand.
Some with dirt some with sand.
But beauty in everything .
Blue sky tho black at night.
Some see dark, I see light.
Red rincles on the desert snow.
We laugh and we cry.
It rains and it shines.
God is wise.
So pay attention to life.
Ulimited power to create.

Some see dark, I see light.
Red rincles on the desert snow.
We laugh and we cry.
It rains and it shines.
God is wise.
So pay attention to life.
