Remember...

Remember to always say what you mean.

If you love someone, tell them.

Don't be afraid to express yourself.

Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.

Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late.

Seize the day. Never have regrets.

And most importantly, stay close to your friends
and family, for they have helped
make you the person that you are today.

Read Alone... Poem

Around the corner I have a friend,

In this great city that has no end,

Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,

And before I know it, a year is gone.

And I never see my old friends face,

For life is a swift and terrible race,

He knows I like him just as well,

As in the days when I rang his bell.

And he rang mine but we were younger then,

And now we are busy, tired men.

Tired of playing a foolish game,

Tired of trying to make a name.

'Tomorrow' I say! 'I will call on Jim

Just to show that I'm thinking of him.'

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,

And distance between us grows and grows.

Around the corner, yet miles away,

'Here's a telegram sir,' 'Jim died today.'

And that's what we get and deserve in the end.

Around the corner, a vanished friend.

Life is Short ...

They say .....

it takes a minute to find a special person,

an hour to appreciate them,

a day to love them,

but then an entire life to forget them.

Thinking - Actively? OR Passively?

1. One important thing that makes me think actively is READING. I can't just read, I need to analyze what it is saying. While I am reading I have to imagine the picture and analyze it. If I think about something else I might not understand what I am reading. Also Reading is thinking actively because it has a purpose to get understanding.

2. An influence in my life that encourages me to think passively is TV. While I am watching TV I am not thinking about anything else, I just watch and relax. TV producer determines what is going to happen and I can't go back to what has happened. Watching TV is passive because I just let events control my thoughts; I am just waiting for thngs to happen.

Working Towards Goals

-> Describe an important goal you recently achieved

I got accostomed to life in New york

- > Explain the reasoning process that led you to select this goal

If I didn't try, my life would have been harder

- > Identify the steps you had to take to achieve your goal

1. got known to people

2. practiced language (English)

3. learned new things

-> Describe how you felt when you achieved this goal

It was satisfactory adn felt like relief

Speech without vague language

In the past few days I have begun to atone one for my private failings, cheating on my wife, Silda, and my children, and my entire family. The remorse I feel about lying to my family will always be with me. I am grateful for the love and compassion my family has shown me. Because I was given much: the love of my family, the faith and trust of the people of New York, and the chance to lead this state, people expected truth from me. To every New Yorker, and to all those who believed in what I tried to stand for, I sincerely apologize for being a client of a prostitution ring, breaking the law and deceiving everyone.
I look at my time as governor with a sense of what might have been, but I also know that as a public servant I, and the remarkable people have accomplished a great deal. My liaison disrupted the people’s work. Over the course of my public life, I have insisted that I regardless of my position or power would take responsibility for my conduct. I will be accountable for my actions. As I did not accomplish what I have said, I am resigning from the office of governor. At Lt. Gov. Paterson's request, the resignation will be effective Monday, March 17, a date that he believes will permit an orderly transition.
I go forward with the belief, that as human being my greatest glory consists in never falling, but in rising every time I fall. As I leave public life, I will first expiate the treendous pain I caused to my family. Then I will try once again, outside of politics, to serve the common good and to move toward the ideals and solutions which I believe can build a future of hope and opportunity. I hope all of New York will join my prayers for my friend, David Paterson, as he embarks on his new mission, and I thank the public once again for the privilege electing me as a governor.

Spitzer's Apology to New York

In the past few days I have begun to atone for my private failings, with my wife, Silda, my children, and my entire family. (Vague language) The remorse I feel will always be with me. (Euphemistic language) Words cannot describe how grateful I am for the love and compassion they have shown me. (Euphemistic language) From those to whom much is given, much is expected. (Vague language) I have been given much: the love of my family, the faith and trust of the people of New York, and the chance to lead this state. (Language to influence) I am deeply sorry that I did not live up to what was expected of me. (Euphemistic language) To every New Yorker, and to all those who believed in what I tried to stand for, I sincerely apologize. (Vague language)
I look at my time as governor with a sense of what might have been, but I also know that as a public servant I, and the remarkable people with whom I worked, have accomplished a great deal. (Language to influence) There is much more to be done, and I cannot allow my private failings to disrupt the people's work. (False promises) Over the course of my public life, I have insisted, I believe correctly, that people, regardless of their position or power, take responsibility for their conduct. (Vague language) I can and will ask no less of myself. (Euphemistic language) For this reason, I am resigning from the office of governor. (Vague language) At Lt. Gov. Paterson's request, the resignation will be effective Monday, March 17, a date that he believes will permit an orderly transition.
I go forward with the belief, as others have said, that as human beings, our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. (Language to influence) As I leave public life, I will first do what I need to do to help and heal myself and my family. (Euphemistic language) Then I will try once again, outside of politics, to serve the common good and to move toward the ideals and solutions which I believe can build a future of hope and opportunity for us and for our children. (Language to influence) I hope all of New York will join my prayers for my friend, David Paterson, as he embarks on his new mission, and I thank the public once again for the privilege of service. (Euphemistic language)

DREAMS !!!!!

Dreams are the images, thoughts and feelings experienced whileasleep, particularly strongly associated with rapid eye movement sleep. The contents and purpose of dreams are not fully understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history.

Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.
