If you decide to succeed you will succeed, Thomas Edison Success Story. The man who lit up the world.
Thomas addition’s success story is one of the stories that can motivate anyone after experiencing failure. Thomas failed about 1000 times to invent the lamp before he succeeds in doing it on the 1000th attempt. When people asked him how did you manage to keep going even though you were failing all the time he replied telling them, each time it didn’t work I used to say I discovered a new way how to not invent the lamp. Thomas Edison success story should make us conclude that failure should never stop us even if it occurred more than once.
“How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?” a reporter asked. “I didn’t fail 1,000 times,” Edison responded. “The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.”
Below some Thomas A. Edison quotes
“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
And take advantage of this story
We should be optimistic about all work we do and if we fail, we say this is the last failure Enjoy what you are doing
We should be patient and perseverance, do not stop at failure, but progress and take advantage of the failure, as successful people did.
The failure is just a result. It is the first step on the road to success, if you never taste failure, you will never feel the taste of success!! as Jim Rohn said in personal-development.
I would like to talk about the people who live with illness, especially for those living with chronic illness that could affect your life and the lives of their partner and family. No one really knows what it’s like to live in chronic pain only people who have it know the feeling. But I guess it’s human nature, not to really get involved or become aware of something, unless it affects us directly as well as realizing that illness and injury can happen to anyone, anytime.
People living with chronic conditions can live full and meaningful lives, regardless of the severity of their condition. They do the best to not give up on life. When they are surrounded by a loving family and friends that allows them to find joy and peace, and expressing or sharing their emotions in a way that feels comfortable can help them feel better about things. Then they continue to live with the condition trying to overcome it with a healthy lifestyle and courage. And the illness become as new normal.
One of the best films I’ve seen is “A Walk to Remember” it is great romantic movie regarding a beautiful girl Jamie living with cancer, even with her hard health condition she is kind-hearted, modest, always smile, serve others, she played an important role to change his boyfriend Landon and became a better person through his love’s memory, achieving the goals that he set out to do, like she did. The movie ends with Jamie’s death, but only after the couple are married.
In any case, anyone should not give in, and continue living the life day by day, dealing with it the best they can. And finding others that can support them through their times of joy as well as pain. Trying to achieve goals because the life is beautiful.
I wonder how do the humans or a specific scientists as Einstein and as we all know he is one of the more interesting characters out of history who gave us the special and general theories of relativity E=MC2 and others like Isaac Newton and Michael Faraday and nowadays scientists Bill gates and Steve Jobs, whose can invent the amazing electronic language computer that become one of the astonishing human’s invention. All of these discovers help us to improve our lives.
My questions are if all people born with the same intelligence capacity, is intelligence learned or inherited? But there is no partiality in nature. God is unbiased. HE is always neutral and balanced. Nobody can influence God like this for any ulterior purposes. May be due to some misconception, people may have different variety of ideas about this. And I think all our inventions are just one drop of ocean than God knows.
In this world all humans being are exposed to make several choices. The everyday life has a great power make us obeying it. The humans are forced sometimes by the situation or their arrogance. The choices can take us to safe way or to downfall.
One of the stories that I read is “To build a fire” by Jack London In this story the main character was all about a man who chose to travel by himself with a husky wolf-dog in the winter time in the Yukon Trail (in Alaska). In this trip a month nature was the authority. Prior to his trip on the Yukon Trail, he held no knowledge of the area or the weather conditions during winter. He is obviously an inexperienced and conceited traveler as evidenced through his ignorance of the harsh weather. The man ignored the old-timer’s belief that “No man must travel alone in the Klondike after fifty below.” The man chose to travel alone, the weather was very cold. He ignored all the danger that can make his trip difficult. The harsh weather made his body freezing. In his way he built a fire and he succeeded and gave them more hope to survive in the weather condition.
He believed in his choice and he wanted to prove to other people that he can survive by himself, however the hope did not last longtime. His body did not handle the cold weather and start to harm, the rapidity with which his cheeks and nose were freezing. The man decides to kill the dog and puts his hands inside its warm body to restore his circulation. But he cannot kill the dog, since he is unable to pull out his knife or even throttle the animal. He panicked and run along the creek trail, trying to restore circulation, and he run and fell again and again, he surrendered with a comfortable sleep.
The man arrogance and his ignorance to old-timer advice and the nature power led himself to his own death. He chose his own fate.
Everyone in this world has dreams and likes to live better, which is something not surprising or wrong. The people in this world didn’t haven the same chance. We can find someone well-educated, others not; some have good health others don’t people wealthy other poor. However, this is permanent can be changed anytime. For example people who are sick can be healed, who are poor can have money in the future or vice versa. The wealthy can be poor the healthy people can get sick. However, some people they don’t realize that they just making themselves depressed and they don’t satisfied in their lives. I always remember one of the short stories that I read which is “The Necklace” written byGuy de Maupassant published on February 17th, 1884, the woman who spent ten years of her life working hard to pay back her debt.
Madame Loiselwas born in a middle class family. She was a pretty and charming girl. All that she wanted is to be one of the wealthy people. She was dreaming to get married to wealthy men but it doesn’t happen. All that she got is a little clerk who works in Ministry of Education. M. Loisel always looks. Sad nothing makes her happy, just the dreaming of being in different house with different furniture and dishes and food, like what the wealthy people have. Her husband was a lovely man. He was doing what he could to see his wife happy. One day he came home and he was very excited to surprise his wife. He brought with him invitation from Ministry of Education. He said, Here is something for you”. She opened the envelope quickly and she took the card, she read the few words that were written on it . Which, were “ the Minister of Education and Madame Ramponneau request the pleasure of the company of monsieur and Madame Lisel at the Ministry on the evening of Monday, January the 18th.’’
These last words were the backbone of M. Loisel story, after she read them. She wasn’t happy even though she always dreamed to be in a fancy party like this one. Even her husband was shocked by her reaction which was throwing the invitation on the table. He told her that he expected her to be happy with this and what he did to get it. He was wondering to know the reason for her reaction. She told him why she is not happy because she doesn’t have a nice dress to wear for this party. The lovely man was very simple he told her that she has one. It seemed to him that she is going to cry. He asked her how much a new dress cost. She told him about 400 francs. He had this amount but he was saving the money to buy a gun. He gave her the money and told to buy a nice dress. Even after all this she is not happy, she thought that she need some jewelry with the dress. Her husband suggested her to borrow some from her friend Madame Forestier. M. Loisel went to her friend who brought out for her all the jewelry that she has. She chose a diamond necklace, she was very happy with it. The night of the party she was wearing the dress and the necklace that she borrowed from her friend. She was a very happy and very beautiful women that night , she got all that she wanted and dreamed for years. She stayed until 4:00 AM and she took a cab with her husband and went home. After a moment she realized that she wasn’t wearing the necklace.She looked for it everywhere with her husband they didn’t find anything. She sent her husband to check all the places that they walked through. They came home at 7:00 AM without anything. He went to the police and cab company to make a report but nothing new. They decide to buy a necklace like the one that she lost from her friend but it wasn’t easy she was going from one jewelry to another until she found one. It was very expensive for them. It cost 36 thousand after bargaining. Her husband gave up all the money that he got from his father, about 18 thousand, and he borrowed from his friends the other half. She returned the necklace to her friend and they worked everywhere and everything for ten years just to pay the cost of the diamond necklace that she bought.
After the miserable ten years she saw Madame Forestier on her way, and she called her by her name. M. Forestier didn’t recognize her after the changes that happened for her. She looked like an old woman and her friend still strong and beautiful. She decided to tell her the story of the necklace. Her friend was very sorry and she told her the necklace was a fake diamond. After that happened to Madame Loisel for ten years she didn’t regret the night that she spent at the party. It was always in her mind. She spent a decade in her life working for one night.
What is perhaps most astonishing about America’s fast food business is just how successful it has become. The story began in the 1940s stands in Southern California and has spread like internet access across the land to become over than a $110 billion industry according to Eric Schlosser, the author of Fast food Nation, Americans now spend more on fast food then they spend on new cars, higher education, books or movies. Americans when they feel hungry for an easy meal, in general, immediately look to fast food nation for a quick suppression to their hunger, Because they live in a time-is-money society. Fast food nation include McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, Subway, Starbucks, Wendy’s and moreover. Also lack of exercise causes deaths around the world each year roughly as many as smoking. All of these factors release health problems. The Obesity is one of them and considered major challenges to humane health in America.
Several Factors gathering prevents American’s to keep their normal weight. First of all, we know gain weight occurs when we eat food that has more calories than our body uses up. The extra calories in our body become fat. The spread of the fast foods in the country and the increase of the advertisement of the fast food on TV, sign on road, and the timeless target people. Dr Lydie Hazang, from Discover Health, dispels that eating fast food is a huge myths even in small amount is absolutely wrong , because of the amount of the calories. In one piece chicken nugget contain about two hundred calories .It is almost the same us the whole sandwich with chicken or fish. Imagine yourself eating to times on day in fast food. However, there is other causes the obesity, such us age. As we getting old we tend to lose muscles and gain fat, psychological makeup or emotion some people when they are depressed, helpless, or anger their feeling influence their eating habits which is the overeat. Environmental factors or families lifestyle; obesity tend to run in families this caused both in genes and by shared diet and lifestyle habit. If one our parent is obese we have a higher risk of being obese. Certain medication can promote obesity like birth control, antidepressants medication, and of course less exercise.
Many studies have shown that American people every year the number of obesity is increasing the forecast for 2030 showed that thirty tow million more American will become obese. That means around forty-two percent of the population of America. According to U.SCenter for Daisies control and prevention more than thirty-five percent of adult currently obese and two-quarter are overweight could continue to obese category.The reason that we should study the this because their negatives consequence on our body can be exceed those of smoking and drinking problems. As a result the studies showed that obesity cause chronic medical condition. It is associated with higher health care costs than normal weight such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes and certain type of cancer, some of the leading causes of preventable deaths.
As I discussed before there are many factors that causes gain weight, in other hand, there are also many ways to lose weight. There is stunning fact about weight loss in the America. We know it’s not easy to maintain successfully for verity of reason that we mentioned before. If you want to treat your obesity your doctor should suggest increasing a physical activity and eating healthy food, if you cope with depression, loneliness, and anxiety, he should suggest to see consulting to learn new skill to deal with your feeling, and eating fewer calories while increasing activity. At the end there is a faster way to treat the obesity which is the last choice is surgery.
The obesity is one of the major challenges to human health worldwide as I said before. Especially in the America in the last two decades. Several factors causes obesity such us eating unhealthy food, less exercise, life style and more. The studies showed the increasing of the number of people getting obese each year and will be more in future. There are different ways to treat the obesity, but the most safety and effective way to lose weight is eating less and exercise more. As we say to be good to be true. This is as simple as the sugar bill.
In Reading Mary VanSickle’s post regarding Family Time, her post really stood out to me, I feel like I am living the facts of her life as I read, especially when it comes with a mother of seven children and in the same time a teacher, it is interesting to me because I also come from a large family with nine siblings, I remember my childhood life and school days, when living at home is another name of awaking early morning, preparing food, washing clothes, cleaning home, teaching us, giving up own desires for the benefit of us at each and every stage. Our mother carried us for nine months in her belly, she underwent a lot of difficulties but she never gave up. We were given so much priority in her daily life. My mother sacrifices everything just for us, and then continues to take care of my brother and sisters. The mother always makes sure that her children are protected and safe. A mother is a backbone of family. Without a mother the home is homeless, life is dark and world is purposeless. She plays an important role in society.
Raising a child is not easy .The mother tries to prepare a good environment for her children, and give them the support they need to live a good life. Our mother sacrificed when we were inside of her womb and she can sacrifice for everything for her children. There was true story of one-eyed mother and son, a touching story: a child who had a mom with only one eye, he hated her, he ashamed of his mother, she worked as a cooker in her son’s school to support the family. One day during his elementary school where his mother came to say hello to him, he was so embarrassed, he ignored her. Next day at school one of his classmates said: “your mom has only one eye!” he wanted his mom to disappear. He got a chance to go to study abroad when he became adult, he got married, he had kids, living far away from his mother, he was happy with his new life. Then one day, his mom came to visit him. She hadn’t seen him for a while and she didn’t even meet her grandchildren’s. When she stood by the door, his children laughed at her. He screamed at her, “How dare you come to my house and scare my children?” he said his son. He didn’t let his mother to enter to his house. And his mother quietly answered, “Oh, I am so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address, and she left. One day his mother died and left a letter that she had wanted him to have telling him that when he was child, he got into accident, and lost his eye. As a mother, she couldn’t stand watching him having to grow up with one eye, so she gave him her eye. So the mother is a symbol of sacrifice and her love is unrequited love and tender without price.
Her children have a great chance to be with mother and teacher as well. This big opportunity is priceless. In these childhood years period, it is important to create and develop their characteristics. When she mentioned that they going out to apple and berry farms to pick their own apples off the trees and picking berries. It is another opportunity as well because many children don’t know where food comes from. They don’t have a chance to do so. Going outside in nature helps children improve their attention span and learning capacity.
AS Richard Louv an American nonfiction author and journalist indicated: “Research suggests that a connection to nature is biologically innate; as humans, we have an affinity for the natural world. When children spend most of their time indoors, they miss out. Problems associated with alienation from nature include familiar maladies: depression, obesity, and attention deficit disorder. Kids who have direct access to nature are better learners. Exposure to nature has been shown to reduce stress and increase attention spans.
When a child is out in nature, all the senses get activated. He is immersed in something bigger than himself, rather than focusing narrowly on one thing, such as a computer screen. He’s seeing, hearing, touching, even tasting. Out in nature, a child’s brain has the chance to rejuvenate, so the next time he has to focus and pay attention, perhaps in school, he’ll do better.”
Living in new country could be a tempting opportunity for some people who could be a useful experience. However, living in a foreign country can be an experience both exhilarating and daunting. At the same time, it would be new challenge and memorable days, these will not be ordinary days. People who lived away from their countries usually face some effect; I would like to mention the three most common effects of living in a foreign country that can change people’s personal life.
One of the consequences of living abroad is the difficult time one has to undergo by being far from his family and hometown. Living away from your family sometimes makes you feel homesick. Especially, when you face up some issues which you are unable to resolve and you have nobody to support you. That would make you realize how valuable your family is. Furthermore, simple things could remind you where you belong, such as a bird’s song, trees blowing in the wind, sunrise, calm night.
The second main effect is acquiring the culture and traditions of foreign societies. Living abroad would allow you to wonder in values and habits which are totally different of yours. Thus, it will be an opportunity to develop your opinion about the new societies and different opinions that will make you be able to achieve the truth knowledge. Furthermore, knowing different cultures makes you open-minded. By choosing to live abroad, you have to integrate yourself in that country and his culture, but at the same time, to keep your most important values.
The third and perhaps most important effect is personal development and learning a new language. Living away from home, makes you more confident and independent. You have to do everything and solve your problem by yourself. You have to be responsible of organizing your life and achieving your goals. In addition, you have to be able to learn a new language to communicate with people in the foreign country. Apart from that, the language has different grammar or pronunciation, so you should study a lot of things. However, people who are bilingual have a better ability to think.
Living abroad is difficult and challenging. Living far from family could be sometimes difficult in your life, but on the other hand it would lead you to get new knowledge, such as how to accept cultures and traditions of other societies.
