You Can Do Whatever You Set Your Mind To

If you had one shot, one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted, one moment, would you capture it or just let it slip?-Eminem. In life people dream of making it big, whether making it big means becoming a professional athlete, or becoming a corporate manger. One issue is that many of those people don't believe they can do make it. Let me tell you right now, YOU CAN DO IT! Make your dreams a reality. Just like Eminem said, "you can do anything you set your mind to". Now just saying you can do it isn't enough, you do have to put some effort towards your dream. Two people that come to mind that have put effort towards their dreams are Eminem and Nelson Mandela. When Eminem was young he always wanted to rap. He began at a young age and would do anything to make it to the top. He competed in numerous rap battles. At first he didn't do well, but the more he competed and was able to conquer his fear of performing in large crowds, he was able to make his dream come true. Today he is one of the top rap artists Now Nelson Mandela's story is truly inspirational. He was imprisoned for 27 years and never gave up on his dream to change South Africa. After he was released, he was voted president of South Africa. He never used violence, but instead was a peaceful man. These two men may be totally different, but their stories are similar. They had dream, put their minds towards it, and made their dreams a reality. On a last note, never let anyone tell you that you can't. You can and no one can tell you other wise. You want to make your dream a reality? Go for it because it starts with you!

You Are A Team

Team- a group organized to work together. If you did not know all ready that is the definition of team. Since this definition is true, then why is it I see team members trying to destroy each other lately. When it comes to our congress men and women in Washington, to local organizations. I have noticed that in today's world people don't want to work together and just want to make their lives better instead of working with the whole team. One example would be this past week. An organization was trying to figure out who would be the new President and Vice-President of the board. Apparently those in the organization had already discussed who was getting what position. Well one day a particular person from the organization was whining that it wasn't fair that they weren't Vice-President of the organization yet. Well some of the team members on this board turned around and made sure she got her way. This pissed off members of the board and now there is and will be tension with in this organization. This story pisses me off because they are suppose to be a TEAM!! Who cares that you haven't been the Vice-President of the board until now. The person just received the position because she complained the whole time. Maybe it wasn't suppose to be your time. If you need to whine to get your way,you are going to piss of a lot of people. Besides what kind of example are you showing your children? I give credit to the person who was suppose to receive the position and didn't receive it. Yes this person was upset and in shock like some of the other members of the organization, but he sucked it up and is now being a team player. If you believe for one second that whining will get you anywhere, don't bet on it. I was taught that if you want things to get done, you need to be a team player and realize you aren't always going to get your way. My point is this, if you are dealing with anything that involves team work, work as a TEAM! Don't form little clicks to make sure a specific person gets his or her way. If you want things to get done, and make sure everyone is happy, work together.

Apology
