Blogs.

You know, personally, I would be a lot more willing to do blogs if they didn't have any requirements. I dont just write stuff when i have to have it come out a certain way, just saying.

patience, grasshoppaw

I don"t like our surveys. the problem, is that a couple of the students decided to "joke" on the answers. this is obviously NOT helpful. It only hinders us, and isnt funny. however a leader would most likely be forced to endure this constantly. therefore, probably one of the most important skills, is PATIENCE. with out it a leader would fail faster than it took to become a leader. it is what prevents a leader from cracking under pressure.

I don't know what to post.

In my opinion, the most important requirement for a leader, is to know about who they are leading. For example,  Obama is under the impression that most of america's kids are "overweight." However, if you were to actually meet most of them, they are NOT. However, this is because, the governments standards are so obscure, that if you're 200, you're fat, even though muscle weighs more than fat. showing how poorly our current "leaders" really know us.

I HATE PEOPLE WHO CAN'T LISTEN.

one of my pet peeves, is when i'm talking to someone, I tell them something that cant possibly be misconstrued, and they manage to do just that, not only that, but when i explain this further, they still only hear what they want.
 >:-(  For instance, I have told people that "There's a 50 % chance that life is a computer program," what each and every one of them has heard, was "we all live in the matrix/video game." People need to learn to properly interpret other if they ever want to be a successful leader. People who don't anger me.

pursuit of happiness

so, in what weve seen of the movie so far, i think that one of the most thought provoking ideas, was the comment about Jefferson. i honestly believe that this one thought , the PURSUIT of happiness, could have even been a major reason, not only, for the creation of the declaration, but also for the war, and most of the revolutionary movements leading up to it, and following it.

BSA

one of the most annoying things about this school, is how few people are willing to support the Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts is a "youth run" organization. This means that the boys say what they want to do and then find a way to go do it. I have tried to recruit people in the past, and for the most part, the responses I have gotten have been mean at best. the worst, and apparently most common,  has involved the adults and the youths and illegal activities. I honestly dare those of you who are of this opinion to find even one example of this. however, given the lengths that the BSA goes to in order to prevent this, I highly doubt that there's even one. Another popular response was that "all of the fun parts I could just do here at home." While I am willing to accept this response, it's far from true. The more obvious activities (Camping, guns, etc) can be done at home, its not likely that you can go to Yellowstone, or other such places, at your home. Boy Scouts is an organization that makes leaders. In order to obtain Eagle, you have to have been in several leadership positions. And yes, getting to Eagle IS a good thing. if two equally qualified people apply for a job, and one is an Eagle Scout, then the Eagle Scout will get it every time. In the army, if your an Eagle, then the second you get out of boot camp, you will get a promotion, and a pay raise. so, yes, being an Eagle Scout IS a good thing. so is being a Boy Scout.

SPEECHS ARE EVIL! >:-)

I have never liked speeches. I understand that its required and all, but they still suck. What makes them so bad is that , for most classes, not only do you have to give it, but after that, you also have to show all your research, and your work cited, etc. and i am personally too lazy to do most of that. so yes, speeches are evil.
