Money, Power, Respect
The three biggest things to achieve in life from my experience. Sure it sounds cynical, however it is the only gaurantee to a better life in a general sense. There are a million reasons why attaining these three things is beneficial to any person. Whether your in it for your own personal gain or to change the way things are for the better...or worse not my position to judge, but any way you go these are essential in today's modern world. To attain these risk is neccesary and only the boldest will be remembered. I plan to be remembered so make note. The most important people that are remembered through history think about it. They are some of the most powerful and respected individuals even till today and money doesn't hurt the cause either. In becoming one of the best and attaining the neccessary goals and going through the steps you discover these three things are important. This isn't meant to offend anyone or put down any other ideals but in my experience i am going to succeed and it is through these three that i will.

Right and Wrong
Everyday the line that sepeartes right and wrong is slowly becoming blurrier and blurrier. There are instnaces now which we would never agree to do before but whats right is slowly truning into what used to be wrong. Cheating and stealing is merely limited by law today teams of lawyers help companies and people figure out how to cheat and steal within the limits of the laws. When you think about it the only thing that keeps us in check morally now is amounts of money and time cause eventually most of us will get by the law when we find a loophole. I am not trying to preach by any means I don't have a solution to our ever wavering morals, our answers are different for everyone. Corruption knows no bounds right and everyone has a price. It seems in today's society whats good for our fellow man doesnt matter anymore just what benefits us the most. I am just saying for most at least not all. When the line blurs even further... what side of it will you be on?
A new understanding
Throughout my journey, I never realized how critical it is to constantly improve on our image. In my business writing class, I was introduce to new concept of what image is and what derives from it. Before, I didn't seem to put much attention to the matter. In this new theory, image leads to many important factors. What people think, what you think of yourself, and how you can gain or improve the power you have. I learned that image does not only pertain to an individual, but businesses as well. Many business need to focus on their image in order to keep they're success going. As a business, what people think about you can either make you or break you. Through our image is how we gain agency. By agency, I mean power. People only believe in you if you seem to be a credible source. For example, the company crocs has repeatedly been attacked by people that have opposing views to the shoes this company produces. There are video, website, and chat room specifically made just to oppose using crocs shoes. This was a clear attack to crocs image. They immediately had to take action if not they risked potential losses.
