Review of "Something Good IS Trying to Happen to You" [Book]
Wednesday. 1.27.10 1:14 pm
This book was wrote by Major John R. Cheydleur, PH.D. This book discusses things you can do in your life to make sure something good happens in your life. You have to learn how to recognize when a "God-cident" comes your way. You also have to learn how to avoid things that are trying to harm you. The author calls this negative energy a "Garbage Monster." The drag-you-down people are also discussed.
"They minimize your successes, making your major triumphs seem small and the little grace notes of your life seem unimportant."John R. Cheydleur
I can definitely relate to this quote because I've experienced this before from people in my own family. They try to make it seem like all your success means nothing because your down now.
Make sure you surround yourself with a "cheer-you-on" person because they will help you get to where you want to be in life.
"They will applaud you for your successes, grieve with you at your failures, and want the best for you all the time." John R.Cheydleur
I think like this when it comes to people in my family or anybody in general. Even though you may have not done the right thing earlier in life, its never too late to do that now. Its never too late to educate yourself. I don't care how long it may take if you want to be a doctor, go be that doctor. I've heard people say to me, you already have a Master's Degree. What's the need for another degree in Pharmacy? First of all, its something I really would like to achieve in life, and personally don't want to limit myself to one career option.
The last thing that really stuck in my head was learning how to forgive. I learned that not being able to forgive can definitely be harmful to your health. So, "Good family relationships promote longer lives for all concerned." I've noticed those who don't treat their parents right have been suffering health wise. You also shouldn't judge others because this can create an emotional burden that blocks you from receiving the good good has in store for you. In the End, be humble and something good will happen to you.

Foreign Aid:Where is it really going? [Part 1]
Tuesday. 1.19.10 2:03 am
I recently, watched this stossel in the classroom clip about foreign aid. This clip really had me thinking about all the money we donate to countries like Africa. The question I got from watching this video clip is are [African] people really benefiting from the foreign aid. One journalist from Kenya went on to say that [the United States] we should stop giving Africa [foreign aid] money. She believes that the money is being used to furnish lavish lives for many of the top officials in Africa. While the people in Africa remain poor which is not fair.
I was shocked to learn that some of the food [the United States] we give[s] to these countries are actually being put on the black market for sale.How can the United States make sure foreign aid is really getting to the [African] people its intended for. We can tell these countries they have to use our money on what we said it was for, but they don't have to listen to us, right. They don't have to listen us because for one we don't want to get all involved in the process of handling their affairs. Which shouldn't be the case if we're handing over all that money.
To be continued...Also watch Diane Sawyers tonight as she talks about where our donations are really going for helping Haiti. I know a lot of people want to know where the money really is going.
