30 Day Challenge: Day 13

58. Discuss the most important peice of advice you have ever received and its effect in your life?


I remember the days of my childhood and my present teenage hood (i do not know if that is a word) and my last check up at the dentist. There was always a poster on the wall of the notice board." Brush your teeth twice a day," says the three doctors, sponsored by Colgate. Colgate is a trusted brand for tooth paste and too brushes and other dental things. Anyways, the phrase was always repeated by every dentist I have ever visited, and my parents. My reason for visiting is because my milk teeth fall off slowly that at the usual pace. Back to the second part of the phrase, "Brush and your teeth will shine." My teeth and my report card were equally bad. Each year it slowly started to get better. My teeth look better than the past, and so do my grades.. Those two phrases, repeatedly asked to complete have indirectly helped my academic life. Brush twice a day, study twice/ at the most once a day and perfection. The teeth and my subjects go very well, if you brush everyday your teeth will be fight, if you practice you work he/she has good grades, but over the years your teeth become yellow, whether or not he/she brushes, and the same thing happens to his/her memory and willingness to learn. It happens to everyone, but it hurts nobody. I do not have any cavities and neither do my grades.

That is the best advice I have got so far, I may have got better ones but they do not come to mind.

28. Attach a small photograph of something important to you and explain its significance. (Stanford).


Why do we love war? Is it part of our history of the human race, is it to prove our strength as an individual or as a country, is it to maybe somehow decrease the world population. The picture posted sums up the results of war. If he or her creates a problem someone else will create another problem, because of the problem he or her created. The poster stuck on the wall, asks the US government to stop the Iran War.  They should have stopped in a long time ago. Each war claims more lives of civilians than men from the military. I am not saying men from the military should die more often, what I’m saying is that those men are trained to make sure nobody dies. These wars gone on for so long, they turn out being meaningless and all these wars just keep pooling in money. The United States of America has helped out in the Arab Spring, they helped out in Libya, the war against Gaddafi, they are asking the President of Syria to step down, all this involvement in the North African freedom struggle is only for the oil, they pool in from helping out nations trying to attain freedom from their former dictators. Is this what wars have become, it is understandable that the US needs oil since they are in a deficit of 2.3 trillion dollars,(Mr. Philips Microeconomics class). If they need the money, they have to cut down on their expenses in the sector of Defense. Everyone is trying to stop war and here we have it, the US wants to expand and improve their collection of military hardware to suppress rebellion and wars in matter of days. We try to cut down on events such as this, but that’s not how our word works.

126. Are we alone? (Tufts)

 There are many, many - many people on our planet, seven billion humans to be precise. The survivals of other animals or organism that are known to humans are decreasing at fast rate. Life outside our planet is not known, life from the universe staying on our peaceful little planet is also not known. Spirits or demons from heaven or hell living and creating chaos with our minds also not known. There has been a lot of speculation concerning this topic. The answers lie in what we want to believe. We refer to our sense of sights and hearing to make a judgment when we notice something out of the ordinary. Our minds play with sense from time to time; Objects that may seem ordinary become different. People doubt what they see, hear, or smell, so they blame someone or thing that does not exist, and because of that we speculate on a topic such as this.
            We humans are not alone; we will never be alone because of the increasing population. Space for us and our necessities is decreasing, in a few hundred years our small planet will look like overstuffed mini refrigerator.  If someone dies another someone will take his or her place. we shall never be alone unless life from the universe comes into contact with us, or if that life reveals their identity from the crowd. for the time being we should be concerned with things like this, we have to work on lowering world population othwrwise we will never be alone.

42. What are the responsibilities of an educated person? (University of Puget Sound)

I am a citizen of a country, that promotes education and I myself has received an education from kinder garden to high school. The average person would call me educated from the looks of how I talk, dress and my knowledge. My duties as a educated individual stand to correct and protect people from those educated ones who abuse them. There are numerous responsibilities that an educated man or woman has to take for themselves and for everyone else.  Promoting education across the country, to keep standards of living high and prosperous, However educating everyone has a set of problems that government will have to face if the time comes. Educating, everyone can create a new social order, can question politicians for their word, and can crumble government. The educated do not want this situation to ever come, because it will rob them off their money, belongings and their power. There are examples, of this and can be seem in countries like North Korea, China and Russia. Each of these countries run on Communism. The United States of America and other democratic republics fear Communism, because of it has done to those counties in the past. Therefore, the duty of an educate person also lies in not educating the masses. Another responsibility that educated person is to learn from the uneducated, whether or not we may like it or not as their ways of surviving with nature always wins, each civilization always comes back to that world, but that will never happen because we as humans are always striving for a better life. Education is a cure and curse for humanity. Educators take it as a cure for giving a chance to the masses to ask and believe what they want; it allows them to make the right choices and to survive the civilized world from robbing them.           

30 Day challenge: Day 9

13. You’ve just written a 300-page autobiography. Send us page 217. (University of Pennsylvania).

Its year 2030, at an Indian army lab, bio engineering to a wrong turn in developing an anti- virus, the strain infected a majority. The virus hit the borders areas of India and Pakistan. Pakistan takes the opportunity and attacks and invades Indian soil. I had to enroll in army and leave my job. Never before had I thought India would have been short in man power. I was placed in the Mechanized Infantry Regiment. I would have never imagined being in the first few regiments to directly move to the battle front. The day we arrived I was so pumped up, excited yet scared. I had never killed man before, I had never dream t about it. The men I was working with, were boys just out of college, they did not even have a chance to do something more productive.

It would have taken us three days to reach the front. I was so impatient, to get in and out. The roads, there were no roads, no signs, just dust and damage done by the Pakistani air force. In the midst of the night, I was woken up by my crew, we had to leave. We were spotted by some Pakistani spy planes, and now we were on the run. There were no lights, I did not have my armor, or head gear on. Shells start flying; one could hear guns and other weaponry being fired at us from a distance. Little did I know that we had already hit the frontier, and now I was stuck in a major gun fight.  I found the nearest tank that was operational, got in. got my gear together. The midst of my fear, I had forgotten how to maneuver a tank. I got out, and tried jumping,, but was shot in the process. I woke up and hit by head, I was sleeping in the tank, so I thought. Apparently that was a dream in a dream, my men and I were sleeping in a suite , at the closest hotel on the frontier.

 

30 Day challenge: Day 8

If you could spend a year with any real or fictional person in the past, present, or future, whom would you choose? Why?

I if could choose a person to spend a whole year with from the past, he would be Osama Bin Laden. He is well known Terrorist and the founder of Al-Qaeda. Its headquarters is now in Yemen. Osama was just killed by a US special ops team in Pakistan. He had a horrible hatred against the United States of America, and its allies.He was the son of a Saudi billionaire, who got involved in the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan. He has made an impact on terrorism and with terrorism.
I wanted to meet him, because I am interested in why he chose the path of war by becoming a soldier and not a leader in the government. He had the qualities of a leader; he directed a big group of men for 32 years. He had earned the rust of his men, and family. He fueled his organization with money and weapons through what he inherited from his father. I would be determined to ask him why he wages wars against the US and its allies, what motivates him to live and sleep underground while forces who are after him are bombing the hill sides he lives in ? Why does he want to follow the old ways of Islam?
\
To spend a year with him, would be the most dangerous, violent and significantly interesting year I would ever live, that is if I came home alive. It could be a life changing experience, my views on terrorism and Islam would change. I will understand their reason to fight.Those 365 days, or 366 days will be very special.

I will become rich, i will be in the Guinness book of world records, I will become part of international team of law enforcers, I will put my guys/girls in prison, i will be known for all the acts that i have committed for the people. I will then  turn rogue, just for a change in lifestyle. Team up with bad guys and go crazy. I will get caught by some special force, and placed in a high security prison for life. I will escape, use the skills I learnt through my life, Cheat some guy/girl, and find a house somewhere far away from civilization. Stay at home, and enjoy life the way it should be. Those thoughts will be left for the future. For the present there are so many things that I would love to use my talent for, but out of all my thoughts, there is not a single one thought which i would rightfully have earned. I do not know how to use this gift.

All my life, I have been a law abiding son, citizen and student. I have followed rules, morals and beliefs that I should know about. I want would love break the rules, the amount of satisfaction that one gets is unbelievable. After all rules are meant to be broken.
