"Do not sacrifice what you want most for what you want now. 
Write down what you want most and see it often"

Peter Vidmar, the Olympic champion is telling us some very insightful words. Peter is telling us to never lose track of our main goal in life. Whatever we want most in life we should chase it and go after it. Sure there may be other obstacles along the way but we have to stay determine. Sometimes things will come up where we do not want to continue our goal or we will shrug it off and put off till later. Peter is telling us to be careful of moments like these because they will keep us off track in completing our true desire. Peter is also telling us to write down our goal and envision what we want. We cant be vague, we have to have a clear understanding of what we really want most in life. By writing it down we will constantly be reminded of what our goal in life is. The more and more we see our goal the closer we get to achieving it and this is what Peter wanted us to do. An example could a person who wants to become a champion like Peter was. If the kid constantly slacks off and chooses to be with his friends and miss practice, he will not reach those goals. The kid is sacrificing his goal for what he wants to do now in the present, and that will lead to a negative outcome and also it will lead to the loss of your goal. At the end of day you have no one else but your self to blame if you do not accomplish your goal.

Soil Toxicity I choose the topic because it is something i am knowledgeable and because the information is still fresh in my mind. The soil around our community has been infected by various toxins, one of these mainly being lead. Lead is naturally found within our soil along with other metals such as Zinc and Arsenic. Lead is measured in a unit known as parts per million. Parts per million, or ppm for short, is a conversion for milligram per  cubic meter. The normal range for lead is currently at about 15-40 parts per million according to the EPA. After a experiment was performed we realized that the homes within our community have around 115 parts per million of soil, which is above the american average. According to the EPA, once lead reaches 400 ppm then it becomes a danger to us and once it reaches 1200 ppm then the area needs to be closed off as it become a serious health hazard. Although the results were not that high, it was still  alarming. Lead has a negative impact on

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder” Thomas Carlyle A man with no goal in life will get nowhere. A boat uses a rudder to guide itself and the people on board. Without a rudder the boat will have no direction and no guidance. Even if it wanted to set out somewhere, it would not be able too. A person without any goals in life will be the same way. Without any goals a person will have no direction in their life. They have no guidance and will not know if they are on the path to success. They will be un aware if their actions are causing them any harm or good. A goal is more than just a goal. It is a path set for us, a path that will guarantee us success. By not having a goal we would not know where to go. We will not know what actions we need to take. Ultimately, we will be lost with our lives. Lost in the world with no real sense as to what we are doing. We will be alive but not living.
