Many people often believe that winning is everything. But that is a false misconception, as winning is not in fact everything. It is much more important in choosing the right than to win. If you win by cheating there will be no honor for you. No one is going to look up to you or like you, but instead people will being to despise you and hate you for the actions you did. Now, if you win something by working hard and striving for your best, well there is honor in that and so people will begin to respect you. Same thing with being fair, you will gain respect from other and those around you. Winning may bring happiness to you, but if you yourself know that you cheated, then  you will begin to feel guilt within yourself. There is no way that you can cheat and lie and still feel good about it afterwards. If you are taken part in an event and you work hard but still lose, you will feel satisfy with yourself as you yourself know that you work hard and try your best to get to where you are.

Example: An example of this can be seen during the presidential elections. Many people believed Hillary rigged the primaries in order to beat Bernie Sanders, and people who spoke out against her would mysteriously die or disappear. Many people view this has a form of cheating, so as the quote suggested many people did not respect nor honor her.

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.
