I remember distinctly one day when I was tired from having begun my homework far too late the night before. I lay my head down on my desk and after a few moments was conscious of the teacher looking down at me. Much to my surprise, he did not look angry, just disappointed. "If only you would make an effort," he said, and walked away. I realized that what he said was true: I was not making the effort. I would say that I was trying hard, as I ran my laps in gym class, or opened up a book to study, but I really was not fully present in the moment -- I was always doing things in a half-hearted way and looking for an excuse why things did not come out as I hoped. I was afraid to try 100%, because that might mean losing 100%. Not trying and blaming others was a way of protecting my ego. I would also hold back socially because I was filled with a sense of not being good enough -- I told myself I needed better clothes, a better personality, and a better haircut to be accepted by my peers. If I had more money, if I had more support, then things would be different.
Waiting on the sidelines for life to change means waiting forever: life never changes of its own accord; you have to orchestrate that change. You only get one life, one chance to enjoy the world.

You only truly 'own' your successes if you stop making excuses for your imperfections when you fail.

When both of these forces are combined in harmony, problems become much more solvable and knowledge flows much freer and is much more effective. The purpose of this essay is t combine these
This does not mean that there are no general principles or guidelines established for care, however, and I intend to compensate for the lack of a codified structure in existential therapy by reading extensively on techniques and methodologies both for existential therapy and other psychological therapies. By maintaining a wide arsenal of theories and techniques, I will always be ready to adapt my method of care for an individual

Hoffman and Moore (2004) recommend training and communication as part of the implementation plan to improve ethical behavior. As part of the resolution process when facing ethical dilemmas, retraining on ethical standards and practices, legal ramifications, regulatory compliance/guidelines and code of conduct are imperative. Therefore, even if other values are not considered, at least the most important ones will be considered during the problem-solving process. Applications I strongly believe in the
These claims are virtually all based on the concept that corporations - particularly multinationals -- should be held accountable for their actions within their sphere of operations. "Corporations, for their part, have responded in numerous ways, from denying any duties in the area of human rights to accepting voluntary codes that could constrain their behavior" (Ratner, 2001, p. 436). In fact, this very point is echoed throughout the literature; for
Autobiographical) Subtopic 1: Ethical Problems Description of Concrete Experience: Those of us who work in high school education know that, day-to-day, ethics is a main area of concern. Obviously there are some ethical issues that are purely school-related -- like copying a homework assignment, or cheating on a math test. These are against the rules of academics, but they are not illegal. However, when ethical issues in a high school environment
