How does selling rely on the principle of service

Selling relies on the principle of service because you are serving someone when you are trying to help give them something that will fix a problem or just something that they need or want. When you are actively trying to sell something to someone you want to sell something that will benefit the other person because that will help them want to buy what you are trying to give them, you don’t want to try and sell something to someone they don’t need and they’re not looking for because then they won’t want to buy something from you and they won’t want to buy something from you in future which will make it so that you don’t earn a profit.

When we are serving somebody else we are helping them with something they can’t do or we are giving them something that they wanted but didn’t have the resources to get, which is also the principle of selling something to a customer. The reason a customer goes to someone that is selling something is because they need something or they want and are willing to buy or trade something they have for the object they want. 

When selling something is done right is almost the same thing as doing service to somebody else, when we are selling something to somebody we are relying on the principle of service because what we are trying to do is help and serve them so that they will give us money because you need that to go and help or serve yourself, or if you are trading an object for another object it is the same case.

What are three types of stories I would have to include in my autobiography

If I were to go and write an autobiography here are three types of stories I would have to include.

1: One story I would have to put in my autobiography would be a story of a hardship I have gone through over the years. The reason this would be a good story to include in my autobiography is because it is an experience I’ve had that has made me who I am and since an autobiography is giving a story about my life about who I am who I have become, putting in the hardships I’ve had, the trials I’ve been through will help readers be able to fully see what I have become and they will be able to recognize and see what I went through to change who I was and how I became the character or person that I am today.

2: The second story I would have to put in an autobiography would be a time where I accomplished something great or something that was very important and successful for me. This would be important to add because it would give good contrast to my failures and my achievements. It would be another great way to show people how I was able to use experiences and things that were thrown at me and overcome them and use them to myadvantage, to become the person I am today.

3: I would also have to make sure to include personal experiences, nothing too personal nothing that would make people embarrassed about having to read, or feel awkward by having just read it, but something that would help the reader connect to me. Something that would help the reader realize, “Oh she’s also a person she has made a mistake, she’s gone through things, she’s been able to handle everything”. It will make people realize that they can go through similar experiences and turn out just as fine as I did. It would be a great way for people to connect to the autobiography, to really get into it. This would almost be like in a fantasy or just any other book, the description of a character. Learning about a character in a book and realizing that they have things about them that you can connect to really helps you put yourself more into the story. It helps you put yourself in the place of the character and really try to understand everything that is going on. 

Those are three types of stories I would have to include in my autobiography that would make it more relatable, understanding, and enjoyable.

Good things that can come from having a heart attack

Most people only see the bad. They only look at the dark black parts of the corner instead of fully looking at the beautiful bright picture. Yes, having a heart attack would be very scary and horrible, but there are some good things that can come from it too. 

One of these good things is that you will realize that you are not ready to die. You will step back and take a good look at your life and realize that you need to do things that you haven’t done yet, you want to have experiences before you die. Having a heart attack is a scary, but good awakening for you to realize how much you just have not done in your life. 

The second good thing that can come from this is your health. Now this may sound a little stupid, you just had a heart attack doesn’t that mean your health is bad? Well yes it does, but having a heart attack will help you to realize that you need to start living a healthier lifestyle. Eat and drink healthy nutritious foods and drinks, take daily naps and walks, and have conversations with friends and family. These will help you on your recovery journey. 

Thirdly, it will help you recognize the good in your life and your blessings. Sometimes when we are having a hard time we don’t remember the good or see the light, we only remember and recognize the dark. But good things come from every experience. It will help you realize how lucky you are, how unfortunate others are, and how you can definitely use some of your time and life to help those in need.

Why is running my own business a way to guarantee that I will have a job in a decade?

One reason running your own business will guarantee you a job in a decade (ten years) is that you are your own boss. You don’t constantly have to be worried about the boss firing you because you are the boss. 

Another way running your own business can guarantee you a job in the future is that you are in charge. You can see every detail and know every detail. You can make big decisions to make sure that the business keeps going and is in a good place. As an employee you can’t do this even if you have a great idea the boss normally won’t listen to you. 

And finally, if for some reason your business collapses, you being the owner have some disadvantages but also some pretty nice advantages. Yes, you will be the one that gets a lot of the nasty stuff from the business closing, but because you were the boss, you knew how to work and get things done, you have experience, you have a very good chance of getting a nice paying job fast after the business goes down because businesses will see that you have a good working background and a nice resume so they will higher you most likely.

Why writing correctly is important

Writing correctly is very important. Why? Well if you don’t know how to correctly write when you have to write essays, reports, portfolios, etc. they will not make as much sense as you wanted, or hoped they would because the writing was done badly. 

How do you write badly? There are different ways writing can be done wrong. One of these ways is bad spelling. Spelling errors can affect your papers drastically. Another way is bad punctuation. Too much -or not enough-  commas, periods, question marks, and exclamation points can also ruin your projects, whatever they may be. 

Making sure your writing is good is an important thing for you to know how to do. One way you can check to make sure your writing is correct is by reading over your paper -or whatever- many times, making sure to look carefully at every little detail. 

One mistake we make a lot of the time is only using apps to help us when we write, so that we don’t have to check our work, our device does that for us. This is helpful and time saving, but it also can make it so you don’t develop good writing skills. 

Writing correctly is important because it can show someone how smart you are, and could help you get a good job someday.

Why school is necessary

 Schooling is not only beneficial in many ways, but also is necessary in many areas and ways as well.  

Why is schooling necessary? Well let me tell you some of the reasons I think it is.  

Reason #1: Without school we would be without Doctors, Teachers, Scientists, etc. If there was no way to learn we would not have the amazing smart people we have today literally, in some cases, saving lives because of the amount of schooling they did before going on to become what they are today. Doctors have to do a lot of extra schooling. And if they didn’t go through all the effort, all the pain, literal and metaphorical, to get to where they are now, through hours upon hours of extra school and learning, how many more people would die? How many people would not have had the second chance of life if the doctors had not been there to save them? That is just one major reason schooling is necessary. 

Reason #2: Even if we don’t have in mind a career that makes it so we have to do extra school work, school still is beneficial in our everyday life. Many people think about school as just Math, Economics, Science, and so on, but English, History, and Art are all things that we use on a daily basis,and are also important aspects of school. 

Reason #3: This is my final and shortest answer: without schools, learning, and teachers, we would all be idiots. And where would we be then?

Schooling after high school, important or not?

A very common question many people ask is if students already graduated from highschool should attend college and go and get a “higher” education. What is the answer to this question?

Let me tell you what I think: 

We should continue learning and progressing throughout our entire lives, but this does not necessarily mean we have to go to school after highschool. We can easily educate ourselves without going to college about any and every subject we want to, simply by reading about it, watching documentaries, and so on and so forth. 

One reason you should go to college is if you already have a career chosen and you have to go and get a college degree to enter into this career, a doctor for example. But if you do not have a job you want to have, then maybe you shouldn’t go to college, it would be a waste of time and money for you if you went without wanting to get anything out of it but the “bragging rights” of graduating college, only to go and get a regular job you could have already gotten years ago after highschool.

In my opinion the answer to the question asked ( Is it important for students to pursue college or other higher education after high school?) is a simple and short no. It is not necessarily important for someone to attend college after high school without the intent of actually getting something worthwhile out of it.

Culture of the 1990’s

In the 1990’s the culture was drastically different from that of the 1980’s. Why? Well for a start in the early 1990’s the large and “oh so powerful” Soviet Union finally kicked the bucket. This was a huge difference already and the 90’s just got started! 

Another amazing thing that happened in the 90’s was the creation of the Internet. One important “boom” of the internet was the http://www.DrudgeReport.com. What is that? Let me tell you. 

When the “Lewinsky Scandal” happened one of the huge newspapers of that day passed up the opportunity to write about this, thinking it wasn’t that big of a deal. But an amature journalist decided he would not be as dumb. He reported the scandal on his website (DrudgeReport) and it blew up. This marked the beginning of the internet undermining print and mainstream media by providing easy access to stories previously only available to “the press”. Computers and digital technology also started to become popular in the 1990’s. 

Pop started to become popular during this time with bands like the Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys. This genre of music became wildly popular. Some single musicians such as Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey also helped create pop musical culture. 

Another very important thing that happened in the 1990’s was the Y2K scare. This was a media hyped scare that made people think the computer systems would fall when the calendar changed from 1990 to 2000. (some people actually stocked up on supplies such as food) Of course this was an illogical scare and everything transferred over just fine into the 2000’s.

President George W. Bush

George W. Bush was the forty-third president of the United States of America. Bush shares a funny and special connection, or resemblance, to John Quincy Adams. What is this connection? Both men, Bush and Adams, are the sons of a former president. Both of their fathers were presidents before them. 

One interesting fact about the presidential election of 2000 was that Bush actually received fewer votes than Al Gore, but ended up winning the election- (if you want the complete details on how Bush ended up winning click here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_United_States_presidential_election

One way that Bush reacted to the 9-11 attack was he launched the “War Against Terror” (a war against Afghanistan) — which makes me laugh at the audacity of it all– ‘’let’s go stop terrorism by terrorizing all the innocent people of this nearby country.’’ 

Bush is known for his war on terrorism–snort–and being the second “father-son” presidential duo with John Quincy Adams.

The Counterculture of the 1960’s

Elvis Presly was the first person to bring rock ‘n roll to America. After Elvis brought this new style of music to America many other talented singers decided to as well. One of these groups or “bands” called The Beach Boys, were widely popular, and still are to this day. The reason they were so popular is because they tackled new subjects that so far others had not, such as, drugs, free sex, black rights, and so forth. Soon others also started to tackle these types of themes. 

Two bands from the 1960’s, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, both came to America from Great Britain. They were the two most known and loved bands of their time. The Beatles started out as clean cut, and fresh boys, but by the end of their career they had changed drastically into druggies and rough men. The Rolling Stones however started out and ended up druggies. These two bands were each other’s biggest competition.  

Kids during the counterculture of the 1960’s were looking for an escape, which they found through drugs, sex, getting out of reponsibility, and the new rock and roll music. During this time the kids didn’t know what hardship was, they were all in good positions with money and food, so they didn’t want to have to have responsibility. They wanted to escape from having to do hard things in life, they wanted to run away from their problems and try to find themselves. 

Though the government tried to stop the movement of the counterculture by putting laws and restrictions on drugs and other problems during this time, the counterculture naturally collapsed around 1973. 

The counterculture was not a very good time in American history, for many reasons, though it did give us the rock ‘n roll style of music we all love.
