What makes a person a hero? The image that often comes to mind is that of police officers, fire-fighters, and doctors; people who save lives are heroes automatically in our society. When I look into my heart to find the definition of a hero, a much closer-to-home image is prominent: an image of warmth and comfort-- my mother. One may wonder in what way my mother stacks up against rescue workers that are on call 24 hours a day to save the lives of...
I believe that my mother represents something far more essential to the very existence of every life on this earth; she is a metaphor for the care the universe gives to its child. "If you knew how great is a mother's love," Wendy tells Peter Pan in James Barrie's famous story, "you would have no fear." My mother's ways of showing how she is intelligent, understanding, and devoted to her family have instilled in me that fearless sense of being loved.
Ever since I was little, I have looked to my mother as a source for knowledge of every kind. Before I had even started school, I remember thinking that my mother must have memorized every word of the expansive encyclopedia set that sat upon the shelves way above my little head. My mother knew all the important answers from why the sky was blue to why bedtime was at 8pm. When I started schooling, she was always an incredible tutor and guide to my studies. Increasingly as I matured, I noticed that she wasn't only book smart, but also worldly; my mother understood how things worked and knew how to best work within the system. She knew how to get things done, and she knew how to get them done right the first time, even in the case of an emergency. When a quick decision had to be made, my mother easily stepped up to the plate with confidence and…

The result of all this analysis -- Mustang was born! It was a sexy sports car that a young man might want for his first car, but that that women could still drive around the neighborhood to do their shopping. Iacocca
Commemorative Speech: My Wife Every spring, many people graduate from college and receive a piece of paper called a diploma. There is no way that simple piece of paper, no matter how beautiful or elaborately written can convey the struggle of that graduate to achieve her goal. My wife, who graduated today with a degree in biology, is my hero. For many years, she was uncertain if she would be able
Her selflessness was obvious many times over. In the eighties, during the grip of the AIDS panic, Diana was one of the first celebrities to be photographed holding the hand of a man who was dying of AIDS. At a time when children who were infected were shunned and people were afraid to help them, Diana took a stand and comforted a dying man. The sort of personal integrity
Shaping, reinforcing, and changing responses. Shaping; mind-sets are "shaped" by relating satisfying environments with a product, individual, or a thought. Reinforcing; opposite of the accepted belief, many persuasive communications are not intended to change people, but to strengthen a place they already embrace. Changing; it is one of the most significant persuasive impact and the one that comes in to mind immediately when we think of persuasion. Communications can
The Rangers eventually located the battery of cannons that had been moved by the Germans and destroyed them with thermite grenades and helped secure the adjacent beaches for the rest of the D-Day invasion forces. President Ronald Reagan and the Rebirth of Patriotism President Reagan may have been a "B movie" actor who was best known for his roles in movies such as "Bedtime for Bonzo," but he was also enormously patriotic
Building Coalitions Early on in my career I recognized that building coalitions was a highly regarded quality within the federal government, and it became my goal to be respected by both civilian and military leaders. Throughout the course of my career, I have been able to build strong relationships with many outstanding colleagues and have been involved with successful actions at high levels of government which have allowed me ample opportunities
