Your Actions Determine What Kind of Person You Are

    This is probably one out of fifty mottos I live by everyday. This statement is so encouraging to you and the people around you. What is the point of trying so hard just to fit in with the "cool" crowd, or the "popular" ones, or the "brains" of campus, or even the "well-dressed" people around you. How hard is it to accept the fact you are who you are and love it. Why would you do so much  just to "fit in" with the people you think that is cool and all you're doing is making yourself look bad. Its no point for that. Just be yourself. Don't be who people want you to be. Accept the fact you are who you are and if your "friends" don't like you for it, they really aren't your friends. Find someone else who likes you for who you are, that you can trust and be yourself around all the time.
      According to this article, it gives people 5 inspirational success lessons on a guide to success. And one of those lessons talks about repairing your character. To repair your character you have to monitor your thoughts that determines your feelings, which your feelings determine your actions, and your actions determine your character. "Mouth-full."  If you watch your thoughts, feelings, and your actions; you would never have to worry about hurting other people or what people think of you because you are who you are. But, just be aware of your surroundings and the way you present yourself because you never know exactly who is watching your every move.
       If you want to fit in with the crowd these days, all you are really doing is crushing the real you on the inside and just trying to fake it so you can make it. You don't need to go through all that unneccesary things and changes just for people to accept you. People can accept you for who YOU are on the inside and out. If you can't deal with that, you need to make some adjustments in your life. If its your weight, you can change it, your hair color, you can change it, your apparel, you can change it. Just make sure you aren't changing your appearance for someone or your "friends." If you are doing that for someone make sure they aren't forcing you to do things that you don't want to do. Put your foot down and say, "I respect myself enough not to do those things to myself and my body." If you are going to lose a friend for it; that is going to be a risk you are willing to take. Just be you and be happy about it. Love yourself the way you want to be treated and keep your held up high so no one can knock you down to make you feel insecure about yourself or the way you look. Just take it like a compliment but build yourself around the criticism and even stronger than before.

Are You Really You?

I get it. Sometimes people indifferent themselves to fit in. But really, are you fitting in? You have you're own personality, you're your own person. You can decide who you are. The people who you put yourself around should only benefit the person you are.
Do you really fit in? If you have to change who you are just to "fit in" then really you don't fit. Really, you just make yourself look like someone you're not. You may be fooling other people but, you can't fool yourself. Don't poison your mind with things you know you are not. If you want to be someone then be it. But, it's your job to know if that's who you should be.
Power can mean only one thing. It means something overrules something. As a person it is your job to know if the power of good is overruling the power of the bad. Can you say that about yourself?
Can you tell yourself you're an unique person? Well can you? That's all that matters. You need to be the best you can be. You need to be the only one like you. That's what matters.

Power Corrupts

 
Throughout time, there have been many world leaders who become corrupt by misusing their power. According to an article I read, there are two types of power. Socialized power, which is used too benefit others. This is how world leaders should us their power. The other power is called personalized power, which is used for personal gain. This is the power that all corrupt world leader’s use. Leaders also can become "intoxicated with power" where they engage in wrong actions simply because they think they can. President Clinton was believed to be intoxicated with power when he (look at the article, I’m not going to say it on here). His power made him feel that he could do that without facing the consequences

In the book "House of the Scorpion" a maniacal drug lord becomes rich with power. He hoards treasure and SPOILER ALERT: poisons the people who work on the opium farm that he owns when he dies because he feels that they are his possessions. He uses his power to break the cloning law and raises an exact copy of himself so that when he is near death, he can get new organs from his clones. He used his power to enslave clones and live well over one-hundred and fifty years old.

Power is a dangerous thing that corrupts and kills people. Whether it be fact or fiction, corrupt leaders will always exist.

The Group is More Important Than the Individual

     Everyone knows how the society is today right? Now a days its all about being in the right crowd and fitting in with the right kind of people. You have to stick with a group or you suddenly a loner. Well being like everyone else just to fit in isn't a good way to have your own life. Everyone is in this world for some reason you just have to figure out what that reason is. Nobody should be controlling who you are, you can do that yourself. Being like everyone else is sign of weakness and fear. You are basically showing someone that they are better then you so you have to be like them to fit in. You are also showing that your scared to be yourself or be independent because of the thoughts other people may have towards you.

     Pursue your own happiness no one can control the way you are or the way you want to be. Everyone is unique in their own kind of way and nobody is the same, or needs to be the same. Don't let anyone tell you how you need to be because their isn't going to be a group to help you get through everything in your life you get to do that on your own. 

     Individuality isn't a really bad thing be you self not what everyone wants to be. The group is NOT more important that the individual.

All Humans Deserve The Same Treatment

     No, all humans do not deserve the same treatment. I know what you may be thinking. That's just not right, you want people to treat mentally disabled or physically disabled to be made fun of or picked on because they are different. But no I don't think that picking on someone because they are "different" is right. But I do think that you should not be treated equal if you did something so wrong and corrupted that no one could look at you the same. Some people do great things and should be treated better than those who just live day by day to live, those who live day by day to help and make others lives better deserve to be treated better. That's just fact.
      Also people who bully others just for the fun of it should not be treated as nice as others. Like that saying goes "Treat others as you would like to be treated," so bully's should be treated just as they treat others. It is not right to be treated amazingly but treat others like scum! School's don't do enough to prevent bullies, like in this article I read the author says much about how they need to be taught in a caring environment. Being a bully results in being unfare and not treating others equally. We have done so much to not treat others equally that there is no possible way to even find a way to stop unfare treatment.
     In conclusion humans should not be treated equally. They have probably done something to deserve the way they are being treated, if not then they don't deserve how they are treated and hopefully one day will be stronger because of it.

More Power = More Corruption

I'm currently reading a book by Nancy Farmer, called, The House of The Scorpion. What I can infer, from how much I have read, the book is about the life of a clone and how people treat him like an animal. For now I will just give you a quick summary, from the backside of the book, of what the book is about, Just we can get to my point.

"Matteo Alacran was not born; He was harvested. His DNA came from El Patron, lord of a country called Opium-a strip of poppy fields lying between the United States and what was once called Mexico. Matt's first cell split and divided inside a Petri dish. Then he was placed in the womb of a cow, where he continued his miraculous journey from embryo to fetus to baby. He is a boy now, but most consider him a monster- except for El Patron. El Patron loves Matt as he loves himself, because Matt is himself."

That's the basics of the book, now to my point. In the summary it talks about a man named El Patron. He is my subject that I am going to be talking about.

Matt isn't like other clones. Most clones are given a implant in its brain, so it will be stupid. El Patron wouldn't have his clone being stupid though. So he simply told them not to implant his brain. Now, everyone knows not to mess with El Patron. He has so much money, as said in the book," You need a wallet as big as the Grand Canyon to hold El Patron's paper money, and you'd have to drain out the gulf of California for the small change." He literally has so much power and money he can basically do whatever he wants and break any rule to do it. People are so scared of him. that they just let him. He is an example of power corrupting those who have it. He broke the rules to get what he wanted. This man also has all the money he needs to cover up Matt not being like the other clones.

 I also read an article, about records of UFO sightings in nuclear power plants. If you read this article it's kind of like an argument between government officials, a journalist, and the Airmen. When I was reading this, I noticed that the government officials were basically making excuses to cover up the stories that the Airmen were telling the press. I also believe that, since the Airmen said this had occurred in the late 60's, that the government has maybe been covering up this and other mysterious cases, by corruption. This page also has other news on what the government might be covering up with corruption and not telling us.

Animal Testing

 I have recently read an article about the nightmare of animal testing. It is a cruel, expensive, and deadly too the animals being tested on.
  No matter how you look at it, animal testing is cruel. Most animals involved in these tests are put through pain. It is also cruel because we have began to treat them like man-made inventions. We have begun pantenting animals . There are patents for things like,'' Beagles who were severly sickened and whose lungs were purposely infected with a mold in order too test new human medicines''. these animals were treated cruely and that is why  animal testing should be abolished.
  One other problem with animal testing is that it costs way too much. A single mink can cost up too ten dollars. Insted of these expensive animals, we should use alternatives. One alternative that works just as well is the use of cadavers, bodies that are donated to science. They are free and can be used multiple ti.mes. Another alternative is a synthetic product called Corrositex. It is a skin that reacts just like human skin. It is cheap and better than animal skin. This is why we don't need animal testing.
    Animal testing is cruel and expensive so it should be ended.
