The Trojan Horse

The Trojan horse is not always a believable story, there are some aspects that are true and some that aren't I have found the the fact that the city was in fact destroyed is in fact a true story, but that the Greeks destroyed it isn't so true. According to nationalgeographic.com the horse did not happen at all, but it could have been a metaphor for Poseidon because the remains show that is could have been destroyed by an earthquake, but it for sure wasn't burnt down.

Great Leaders

The lives of great leaders show a mixture of achievements and setbacks, they show this just through their decisions, the decisions they make in what to do in a situation can either be the greatest thing they do or one of the worst things they do. The thing that is complicated though is that is depends on who you speak with to what they feel are achievements and setbacks. I think that people do think less of leaders who show weakness and encounter failure because it shows that they aren't doing something right which is not something you want to see in a leader. there are many great leaders but two are Franklin D. Roosevelt and Steve Jobs. Roosevelt made the New Deal which in turn brought the United States out of a Depression but also turned the world economy south because everyone's economy's had deteriorated. Steve Jobs developed the electronics world beyond anyone's imagination, he also died at a very young age and could not help keep developing this part of the economy.

Life without the alphabet

For my post today my teacher told me to write about what life would be like if all of a sudden there was no account of the alphabet. I think that if there was no account of the alphabet it would be very, very, different. Everything would go back to exploration and word of mouth. Going to the grocery store would be a very interesting event. Just finding the store would take longer then normal if you didn't know where to go. But of all things if there was no alphabet this blog wouldn't exist and you would not be reading it.

Resume Review

Resumes, before I thought they were jsut a breif overview of the skills you have before the job you are applying for. Now I look at it in a totally new way, a resume can really tell someone about a person, it can tell you if they are a good worker, it can tell you if they are determined, and even if they are hard working. You can also tell how much a person wants the job froma resume. In learning all of this I have written my own resume for school and am pretty amazed at how it turned out. I am proud of the work I have done.
