Please tell me what you think of my story?
It is a normal spring day, and I decide to have my lunch break in the local park, the weather is good, warm enough for summer clothes, yet not hot enough to complain about.
I sit on a bench under the shade of a tree, the wind blowing through the tree causing shadows to dance on the well-maintained lawn. The park is a hive of activity today, an assortment of people, professions and past times. A man walks past me in his well pressed business suit, he is not much younger than me, he is talking on his mobile phone, a little to loudly than necessary, trying to sound important to those in earshot of him, or trying to sound important to himself.
An elderly couple is sat on a picnic blanket on the lawn, there silver hair shining in the afternoon sun, homemade sandwiches and cakes in brown paper bags, their faces are content, yet their eyes tell a different story, for after a life time of love, sharing and companionship, should one of them pass, the other would be truly alone.
A young female runner runs past them, her toned body a billboard for her generation, her even strides cushioned by the latest running shoes and designer sunglasses to block out the sun. Tight fitting running clothes, to either enhance her performance, or to leave those who look at her an object of desire, sexual and envious, covers her body.
She runs past a group of teenage school kids, as she passes the boys they mimic the bounce of her breasts with their hands, much to the annoyance of the girls who roll there eyes.
A young couple walk past hand in hand, smiles on their faces as they watch their young toddler kick a bright orange ball, he squeals with delight, his rosy cheeks and innocent eyes oblivious to the hardships he will one day face, but for now he is content will sugar coated treats and colourful images on the T.V.
A small bird takes my attention, a sparrow I think, he is doing a little hop type of dance in front of a cluster of bushes, he then darts into them, coming out with a small bug in his beak, he then flies up into a tree, He returns moments later to do the same thing again.
Yet the more I watch his antics the more I wonder about him.
I wonder if he is feeding his young, is this instinct that drives him to do this, or is it a parental love? Will he get frustrated if he cannot get enough food?
Will his little heart swell with pride when his young take flight for the first time? Does he know of love? Does his heart skip a beat when he sees his mate? Or will it break when one day she does not return? Does he know of fear? Will he cower in the treetops when a storm comes crashing down upon him? Does he know of racism? Do other birds treat him unkind because he is not the same breed as they? Does he know of joy? Will he sing that little bit better when the sun is shinning on a clear day? Does he know of God and the creation? Is he aware of me as i am of him, and knows of man, war and death?
If he is aware of all of these then I feel sorry for him, for why should he suffer the folly’s of man, and yet if he is not aware I am equally sorry for him for the wonder of life is a thing to behold and the joy and sorrow it brings is a thing to be shared by all
It is very interesting but there are several things I’d like to see your change. "The man walks past me" sentence is way too long and too much punctuation. And it’s I not me. "An elderly couple" sits on or is seated on. (I am elderly and wonder how they could get up LOL) "They roll THEIR eyes. And I suggest you end it with some comment about your lunch time is over and it’s time to go back to work – or you wonder who has looked at you and what they thought of you. (Take out about the bird and make it about people. Leave all the rest in about war, etc. I hope this helps as it is meant to be constructive not criticism.
Why do you like Xfactor ,why does each act have a sad past ?
im sorry but the program to me is a joke,what a sad bloody world we live in . its pathetic ,im not denying there are some talented people on there, but come on, some people get voted on because of some tragic story in their life.
Peter Kay’s show last year lampooned the sympathy thing perfectly, with the contestants having the most improbable pasts. I think one group called two up two down had the two female contestants in wheel chairs who were paralysed after a canoe accident close to Niagara falls.
Another contestant (R Kay or something like that) was voted off, but reinstated after his gran died. He was shown grief stricken at the funeral, only to break into a wide beam when Pete Waterman gatecrashed the funeral to break the news.
I never watch the show, so but I can imagine them all playing the sympathy card, and the other cliche ‘I want this so badly’
I want to be a millionaire playboy, but that doesn’t mean I am likely to become one.
Is intense questioning justifiable according to Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau and Mill?
Would the scenario of a government using intense questioning on its citizens be justifiable according to Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau and Mill and their state of nature and social contract philosophies?
Suppose a govt. passes a law that requires every citizen to go through intense questioning, probing every aspects of our lives to make society more safe and to protect our freedoms. What would Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau and Mill say about this?
Hobbes would say thay as long as you are not chained you are still free as a bird.
Locke would say that the government is the agent of the people and so it has to perform exactly as citizens expect.
Rousseau was a preponent of positive freedom and, according to him, you should be forced to be free. He advocated censors and civil religion to encourage citizens to think in a certain way.
Mill would say that the only reason for the government may interefere with your actions would be to prevent harm to others.

What do you do when the zombie you need to kill is your past life?
I believe in reincarnation after death, so let’s pretend that is really what happens (I think it does, but that’s beside the point). Anyways, you are living a happy life when the zombie apocalypse strikes. You are run into a zombie, but this zombie is your most recent past life, you were this person before you died and were reborn into who you are now. What do you do?
The situation is a trillion in one chance, but ok.

The Power Of The Written Word or Why This One Skill Could Potentially Bring In Millions
There is one sentence that is all around my notebooks, in my workbooks and stuck on my monitor, with so much truth and power in it, it takes me to a new level of doing business every time I read it. This one sentence simply forms a barrier for a lot of marketers, though when you developed this one skill, a world of abundance opens for you.
Many people have used this subject all over their works, and therefor it has reached a lot of people. Those who apply it and live by it are set free from a lot of limiting beliefs. They have found abundance, creativity, energy and freedom. Now I prepared this article for you, that is meant to teach you why this is such an important skill.
You are experiencing it right now, the very power that made my business and that same power can build your business too faster then you can say “pepperoni pizza”. I’m sure, if you got a penny for everything you read or heard about this subject, you would have been rich by now. If not, then you have been hiding under a rock since World War 2. I really do hope that’s not the case!
I’ll let you know what this sentence is, within a minute. But first I urge you to relax, take a few deep breaths. Let it flow in your mind for a while and only continue with your work when you feel that you have absorbed all the knowledge, power and vision of this sentence.
Now let’s get to the point. You’re now going to learn what the single best skill in the marketing world is. The skill that can change your life for good!
This skill, or I prefer to call it an art, is writing. Harness the power of the written word and you can do whatever you want to do. You can reach any goal you set, and make every dream come true.
Why is this the most superior skill to learn in the marketing world? Why is it one of the most superior skills in the whole world?
It is because you need to write every single day. You need to write a job application, a letter asking for promotion, letters for joint ventures, affiliates, sales letters and much more. There is enormous power in the written word. Therefor a few words or pages of words can open all parts of the world.
You can see everything you write as an invitation letter, asking for people to invite you into their world. Inviting them to buy from you. Inviting to become a friend or fan of you. All can be done with the skill of writing.
As writing is a very complex skill, you can visit my website for the next parts of this article series. It’s just not possible to discuss every asset of writing in one single article. At my website you can find more articles discussing the secrets of writing. There I will also show you how to use this power for your own benefit, and what the best books and courses are.

Are 1up & 2up programs Dying?
Lets take a look at the so called 1up and 2up programs that have blown onto the scene the last couple of years and see if they are still a viable option for someone that wants to get involved in the online marketing and generating a substantial income online.
The Concept:
1up and 2up programs come in various packages but the basic premise is still the Same. Upon joining the Program whereby you have paid say $997 to become a member you would have access to all of the amenities of the program, things like digital software, e-books, mindset materials sometimes travel vouchers.
Here is what defines 1up and 2 up programs: You must pass along your 1st or 2nd sale to whomever you joined with, sometimes referred as "your sponsor". Upon doing this you are now ready or qualified to receive income from whoever you sell the program to say $997 in this case. You do not have to pass up sales ever again.
