Today’s topic is “A person’s
look or clothing is more important than having good ideas to succeed. Do you agree or disagree?” When I saw the topic title, it was
astonishing that someone would actually agree with this. It is common sense that having good ideas is
much more important to succeed than dressing and looking nice. There are many obvious reasons as to why my
opinion is correct and I believe that I could talk for hours to prove my point.
One of the main reasons is that
good ideas will lead to success because the ideas will be liked by others,
since they are good, and clearly will become a thing of popular interest,
attracting buyers of the idea and making a lot money of the idea. This is success. However, dressing nicely will not get you
success because you don’t have any goals for success in life.
Having
good ideas is much more important than looking nice, because if you have good
ideas, you must have some sense to dress nicely. It would be a bad idea to dress horribly
because people will look at you bad. But
even if you look bad but have great ideas, you will still be successful. For example the guy that created Facebook had
a great idea and is now swimming in success and he doesn’t dress or look that
good. Or even Steve Jobs. He invented apple, but still he didn’t look
that good. However his success rate was
booming.
A
person who chooses the side against me may say that if you have good ideas
rather than dress and look nice, you will not have any success what so ever
with females. This is not entirely true
because there are many females out there and a lot of physically attractive
ones like successful guys financially.
Even if you don’t like these type of women, there will always be someone
out there for you. Dressing nicely and
looking sharp may get you a lot of attention, but will not give you any
future.
Good ideas make the world advance and if we
did not have any good ideas, our race would never improve. If instead we had a world of only good
looking people, our technological and mental lives would go nowhere. We need to have good ideas to make the world
go round and to fix all our problems.
It
is common sense that good ideas are more important than looking good when it
comes to success. Any kind of success is
possible with having good ideas. Good
ideas will give you a good sense of what to do and what not to do. Your lifespan will be expected to be longer
and you will not have as many problems in life.
Looking nice may get you places in high school, but will not do anything
to get you through real life. People
will look down on your physical ability and will not be able to take you
seriously. Good ideas will give you
respect and success. Another example is
the Korean singer Psy. He made a great
idea for one song and it suddenly turned into the most popular song in the
world. He made millions off of one
song. Or even movies based on
superheroes through Marvel. These movies
tend to make millions once they are put out.
The
topic today was common sense in my mind and hopefully in yours too. To be successful in any way, good idea
heavily out weight looking good. Even if
it just one good idea, you will go places with that, and as for romance, good
ideas will make you a great man. You
will make all the right choices and life will be great, even if you do not look
good.
As many may know, humans are far
superior to all other organisms on Earth.
What may be the cause of this?
The answer is very simple and the key to our greatest strength; the high
sophistication of our intelligent minds.
As compared to all other organisms, humans have a greater understanding
of all things and a much better handle on the ideally way of survival. Long ago before humans, the biggest strength
lied in brutality. The leaders were
always the strongest organism. Humans
have evolved to not be brutally dominant, but sophisticatedly dominant.
I believe
that our strength in this world is our minds.
Without them, we would not be at the top of the food chain. We have developed technology that puts us up
there. Without this technology, we would
not be able to defend ourselves on an animal attack. Our bodies physically are much inferior to
that of animals. Most organisms have
defense mechanisms or fatal teeth and jaws.
Our bodies are not fit to live in the wild, due to years of evolution,
we have become lazy and thus in no need of any defensive or offensive
mechanisms. We would only be able to
pick things up with our thumbs but we won’t be able to stand a brutal attack.
Since
we are equipped with a mind, we have made tools, first simple tools like that
of a sword or a plow, to advanced things, like the computer you are on right
now, to the internet that is bringing you to my blog. Our minds are so advanced that we are far
above anything that an organism on Earth would ever become.
Intelligence
is an important thing because although you may not be able to stand an attack
on you, you would still be able to find ways of capturing food, or surviving a
long winter, or even the chemistry to make a fire. Strong predators that could kill us in a
naked cage match (like that lion about to destroy the guy) do not have the intelligence to survive a long and harsh
winter, or to create a fire to keep warm. Animals can only do one thing, like fly or
swim or run, but humans have mastered all of these traits with their
minds. We were able to put together an
automobile that can go faster than any animal. Submarines and ships that can
take us over and under the vast oceans, and we have even invented a huge
machine that can be lifted off of the ground, even under our intense atmosphere’s
gravitational pull. These machines can
fly for hours. Obviously our mind and
intelligence is the greatest strength of humans.
True friend are very hard to find. Most people will come across a few in their
life. Although one may have many
acquaintances that he or she will call “friends,” most of them are not really
true friends. A true friend is someone
that you can call your best friend at all times. I probably have about five true friends in my
life. These amazing people are honest
will all things, unless they are playing a small joke, as trustworthy as a
person can get, and they are compatible with myself. This compatibility consists of senses of
humor, ways of life that we can relate to each other, and the same type of fun
that we are willing to have. My great
friends are always there if I need advice or help with something. To me they are considered brothers. I have no real blood related brothers however
my friends are just as close. Three
qualities of true friends are trustworthiness, brotherly love, and the ability
to have a fun time with you.
Trustworthiness is important in
all types of relationship, whether it is a friendly relationship or a love relationship. Trustworthiness is a good quality to have and
will make people see you as a great person.
True friends should have trustworthiness, whether it is to keep a secret
or to trust someone with an object. All
my true friend are trustworthy and I know that they would never lie about
anything serious. I can also trust them
to keep me updated on all things that might be of interest to me. They are not only trustworthy, but open too. This is one of the main things that separates
friends from true friends.
The second thing that I
mentioned about a true friend was brotherly love. This is the type of friend relationship in
which you would do anything for the other person. It’s a connection that would
last a life time. Brotherly love is the
same emotion that you would show to a true brother. I believe that you must have a connection as
strong as this to someone in order to call that person a true friend.
The last quality in a true
friend is probably one of the most important.
Ask yourself if you had fun when hanging out with your friends. Did you enjoy yourself, or did you waste
hours of your life? Were you put under
peer pressure? If you did not feel like
you had a good time, then you should reconsider the people that you hang out
with. A true friend will always be fun
to hang out with. Even if it something
as boring as detention, your true friends will make you have a great fun time. Anything
boring can be turned into a great pastime with the combined minds of you and
your true friends. Having fun in your
life is very important because if you don’t, you would not have anything great
to remember when you are older. A fun
life is a life that has been lived to the fullest and to have achieved this you
need to be able to identify a true friend from just a friend. Friends are just people who you are cool
with, but true friends are equivalent of blood brothers.
A true friend is vitally
important to find in your life. These
type of people will make your life enjoyable, and don’t say that you cannot
find a true friend because there are many people who are just like you out
there. True friends would do anything
for you, are one hundred percent trustworthy, and will have a great time
hanging out with you.
Our school is extremely small
compared to most other schools in the world.
T consist of about three hundred student including elementary, middle,
and high school. The size of this school
is something that I really dislike and that will give me an elementary, middle
and high school life that will not be lived to its fullest. Larger high schools are much better in my
opinion because of every single difference between the two. I cannot think of one thing that would give
smaller schools and advantage over larger schools. There may be a few who would prefer a smaller
school but I on the other hand would much rather enjoy the great expanse of
hundreds of classes, thousands of students, and a much greater place to work;
which has many more resources.
The number of students in a
school is the first thing that comes to mind during this argument. First of all, you would be much more likely
to find people just like you, that you would be friends with for the rest of
your life. These are the kind of friends
who would do anything with you, and would share everything with you. Not only would guy friends be important, but
also girlfriends. The chance of finding
a girl that you actually love in a small school is hard, however in a larger
school, you would have a much broader spectrum when it comes to finding someone
who actually gives you the true feeling of love. This girl would be one of the people who you
would want to spend every day with, and who would understand you like you are
part of herself. A small school would
give you girlfriend that you have feelings for, but never the perfect girl that
you have always dreamed of.
Not only are people important in
a school, but education as well. In a
small school, supplies are lacking and not all of the teachers are at the level
of teaching properly. In a larger
school, teachers would have to meet the requirements and supplies would always
be available, whether it is fast internet or an air-conditioned room. All of these things are important to the
learning atmosphere.
Points that I could see being
brought up to favor the smaller school would include: drugs and sex would be
much more influenced on your life, or it would be impossible to join a sports
team due to all the other competition, or that people would easily get
bullied. All of these problems are faced
with deeper thoughts that actually make them a good thing. Drugs and sex are a choice in everyone’s
life. The matter on whether your parents
raised you correctly would give you a large view on the right answer toward
these things. Drugs and sex are a part
of life and if one is not faced by them early, they will probably not make the
right decision later. The matter on the
great competition in athletics is just another way to give you the motivation
to train and become the best. You can
make any of our schools athletics teams even if you have never played the sport
before. This creates students to not
give any effort to become the best, or to even become better. With competition, one will try their best to
achieve victory, something you would not find at a small school. Bullying is another topic that would be in
favor of small schools. Signs of
bullying in smaller schools are much more hidden. Larger schools would have much more knowledge
over the subject thus making it easier to get to an adult. Bullying is just a matter of staying away
from the people who bully you and in a large school, that task would be much
easier.
There is no question on whether
I would like a large school or a small school.
Larger schools are what dream of and what would make my life ten times
better. I would choose a larger school
in a split second due to the diversity, larger population, better facility and
supplies, and all the other small things that go along with a larger school. I can see no reason as to why a smaller
school would be superior to a larger one.
I plan on having children at
some time in my life and I would want them to grow up to be smart, talented,
and enthusiastic people. To do this, I
will have to teach them many things that I have learned from my experience and
help them to accept and use these ideas to improve their social, mental, and
physical capabilities. The main points
that I would get across are to be respectful to others, never lie or
over-exaggerate, and to not become lazy.
These are things that I find really important to me and that I wish I
would be better at. By teaching my
possible kids in the future these things, I would express myself as the person
my sons or daughters would be, and I would like for it to be a good image.
The first thing that I think is
the most important is to be respectful to others. This automatically will give everyone a good
view towards you, thus making you much more social. By respecting others, people are not
aggravated by your presence, even if you are not doing anything. Being respectful is also important because
adults will look down on you as a figure of higher social intellect than every
other kid or teenager. A good view
toward my kids would help reflect on me.
Being respectful to others is a must in what I would teach my kids.
Although respect is a major
virtue in life, honesty is too one of the most vital in teaching to my
kids. When kids lie or over-exaggerate,
people don’t trust them or never believe them.
By teaching my kids never to tell a lie, I would give them an honest
life. My parents tried to teach me never
to lie, but I do it occasionally. To
teach my kids honesty, I would try to become very involved in their life. This way I could have a glimpse at what I
should believe. I would also tell my
children that I would truly be happier if they would tell me the truth. I would really express the fact that I would
be more willing to accept the horrible truth, than I would to a lie. My children would then be able to talk to me
openly about their problems. This would
give me a great advantage in what I should be doing to keep him or her happy as
a parent. Not only would I get involved
in their life, but I would also give them an even better perspective through
the eyes of others. Adding to the
respect, people would look on my child as a child of complete honesty. This would give my child trust among many
people, but also help them as to information that their friends would tell them
to keep as a secret. I personally love
to hear things like this and I am sure that my children would too.
Respect and honesty really
reflect the way a person acts, but not as much mentally. This is why I would stress my child to become
hard working and motivated to do anything, whether it is homework for school,
or to go and help with chores. By doing
this, I would give my child something that I think is the most important toward
school; not being lazy. Laziness can
cause people to slack off in school and to not want to do anything they don’t
enjoy doing. Being motivated helps make
your life less stressful and more efficient.
An efficient life is most important for children because it is what they
need to get them through life. Facing a
problem would just be as easy as figuring out how to fix it and doing just
that. Laziness is a feeling that I have
a hard time trying to overcome and I would not want my kids to be in the same
situation.
In addition to all the small
things that I would teach to my children like how to play sports, how to swim
and many other small things, the main traits that I would express to my
children would be respect, honesty, and motivation. With these three traits well developed in my
child, he or she is bound to have a great future ahead of them.
Our school is one of the few
private schools on Saipan. We have many
strict rules compared to other schools however, we have something on many of
the other schools. This is the fact that
we don’t have to wear uniforms to school.
Many students like this because they have freedom of dress and can
express themselves in that way. We also
dislike uniforms because they don’t look good.
People have only a couple of pairs that have to be worn often and
sometimes cannot be washed. Uniforms
take fashion out of people and in their minds make the less attractive. Most kids dislike uniforms and all of the
Saipan International School students are grateful that they don’t have to wear
one.
The first thing that uniforms bring is an expensive price to the school,
and a lack of enough uniforms for a person.
The school may have to pay over a thousand dollars for uniforms and that
amount may not be enough to allow all students to have more than three. This leads to the student having to do
laundry often which increases the family’s water bill and eventually leads to
grumpiness throughout the whole family.
An increase in water bills also hurt the school because the family will
have to start worrying about the huge amount of money that they have to pay for
their child or children to go there. I
assume that if we got uniforms the student population would decrease, only due
to family reasons, but because the student just doesn’t like the fact that he
or she has to wear a uniform and may want to transfer to a different school
because their dress code is more lenient.
The fact that S.I.S does not have uniforms helps the school itself, and
the students that go there.
Imagine when you were a kid, or even if you
are a kid ask yourself this. Would you
want to wear a uniform that looks the same as all the other genders of your
school? Most people would say no and the
people that would say yes are probably insecure about their image, or do not
want to spend money on a uniform. If you
think a uniform costs too much to buy, you should not be attending a school
that has a high tuition fee. If you are
not able to afford a uniform, you should not be able to attend the school. However, I can believe that most of you would
not approve of uniforms.
Uniforms are not only a hassle
to wash, but a boring looking uniform. I
have never seen a uniform that I would actually want to wear. All the uniforms are grey and similar. If our school got uniforms, people would view
it as much more boring and lacking school spirit. Forcing students to wear uniforms makes your
school seem like a jail. If we had
uniforms and people visited our school, they would look at it as boring and
their child would not want to go there.
The topic today is very easy to
answer and I can see that our whole class says no to school uniforms. They are boring, a hassle, disliked by most
people, and waste peoples time, money, and water supply. No one I know wants a uniform for school and
those who have uniforms, from different schools, dislike them and wish that
they could go to S.I.S, the school of free dress. Here, we are able to express ourselves
through dress, and we can give our school the expression of a happy, safe, and
free place.
If I could bring back one person
from the dead, he would be my mom’s father, or my Grandpa. The reasons as to why I would bring him back
from the dead are very important and would bring a great wave of happiness to my
family. My Grandpa was a great man from
what I have heard. When my Grandma comes
down to eat dinner with us, there is always one great story of my Grandpa. My Grandpa passed away when I was about two
years old. Because of my young age, I
was barely able to recollect a time that I had spent with him. My Mom always told me how I would learn to
shoot a shotgun or how I would be able to play the harmonica if I had grown up
with my Grandpa around. If I could bring
him back from the dead, our whole family would spend time with him.
The blog is not only about who I
would like to bring back from the dead, but also what I would serve for
dinner. The topic was “If I could bring back one person from the dead, who would he or she be and what would I serve
for dinner?” The first part is pretty
explanatory, but the second part is hard to understand. By reading it, I would say that I would serve
his favorite meal. However my Mom or
Grandma would know how to make that meal the best for him. We would all have a nice family dinner and
recollect the past while explaining the present. By bringing my Grandpa back from
the dead, I would be making my family a whole lot happier. My aunties and Mom would show joy and my
Grandma would have to be living alone.
Not only would our family be happy, but many of my Grandpa’s friends
would be happy to see him again. Many
people know my Grandpa because he owned and ran Hamilton’s Bar and met a lot of
people through the bar. People respected
him and many called him Chief. My
Grandpa’s friends would be excited to see him again but not as much as my
Grandma would. She would have the
comfort of the one that she loves around her house. Right now, she is living alone and we visit
her often. I can see that she gets bored
with the fact that she does not always have company. Bringing my Grandpa back would help her to
become much happier.
The time my Grandpa passed away
was when I was about two years old.
Being so young, I was not able to collect any vivid memories of the
times we spent together. I do still
remember him holding me as a baby in his lap and feeding me mints. When I was young, mints were my favorite
candy. This is the only good memory that
I was able to find. I wish that I had known
my Grandpa better because from what I have heard he was a great man and you
could learn a thing or two from him.
Hamilton’s Bar would get started up again and people would come. Being older, I would be able to meet new
people and have good conversations. All
of these good things would come if I could bring my Grandpa back to life.
If I had to bring one person
back from the dead, it would be my Grandpa because I would get to know him,
share good times with him, and also learn many new things. Joy would come to my whole family and we
would eat my Grandpa’s favorite meal the first night he came back.
