Importance of Setting Goals

Image
It is important to set your goals because those are milestones in your life. Goals are what give you focus and direction in life. By setting goals for yourself you give yourself a target to shoot for. This sense of direction is what allows your mind to focus on a target and rather than waste energy shooting aimlessly, allows you to hit your target and reach your goa l.By setting goals for yourself you are able to measure your progress because you always have a fixed endpoint or benchmark to compare with. Also by setting goals you give yourself mental boundaries. When you have a certain end point in mind you automatically stay away from certain distractions and stay focused towards the goal. When you set a goal for yourself you make yourself accountable to finish the task. This is in complete contrast with when you do things based off a whim and it doesn't matter whether you complete them or not. Goals are simply tools to focus your energy in positive directions, these can be cha

Today I feel very neutral about everything. I was really looking forward to donate blood (even though I always get super scared and panicked), but I could not donate. This was due to the fact that I had already gone to the Cedar-Sinai blood donation center last month. They told me that I was eligible again on November 4th, but they still gave me a shirt for trying. Even though I'm really scared to donate blood I still do it, because I know that a person in need will make much more use of it than I will. Today we have an away game at Legacy High Schoolwhich I feel dread and excitement for.

New gesture control technology that can turn everyday objects into remote controls could revolutionize how we interact with televisions, and other screens Imagine changing the channel of your TV simply by moving your cup of tea, adjusting the volume on a music player by rolling a toy car, or rotating a spatula to pause a cookery video on your tablet. New gesture control technology that can turn everyday objects into remote controls could revolutionize how we interact with televisions, and other screens -- ending frustrating searches for remotes that have slipped down the side of sofa cushions. Reflection: My thoughts on this is that it is really cool but also very scary at the same time. It is crazy how much technology has advanced over the past couple of years. I think that I would not like to control a TV screen or any other screen like this because it would make me lazy, whereas I can just get up and grab the remote.

Las Vegas Shooting Reflection

On Sunday, one of the deadliest mass shootings occurred at a country music festival in Las Vegas. My heart is breaking for all the victims that were killed (58) and many more that were injured, as well as their families. We need more love, unity, and peace in this world, so that another horrific event like this does not happen again. We need people to look at this mass shooting and call it what it is, it is terrorism. Just because the shooter was a non-Muslim white American, the media will not label is a terrorist attack and are labeling the shooter "mentally ill." It is so disgusting to me how white people have so much privilege just based off of their skin color. Beautiful innocent souls are suffering, for an act of hatred that is so evil. My thoughts and prayers are with ALL the people of this country, and I wish with all my heart that a tragic event like this will not occur again. I am so grateful to even be alive and breathing right now, and I can't imagine the pain
