I Will Use My God Given Talents in the Practice of law
Given an understanding of the scarcity and importance of time and the fleeting nature of existence, time commitment decisions are among the most important choices that an individual has to make.
I believe that time is a gift from God and it is up to individuals to make wise decisions regarding how they will invest the time that God has granted them. My perception of time dictates, to a degree, how I chose to use it. I believe that time is linear - there is a beginning and an end - God, the creator of time. For this reason, I strive to use my time wisely. One day I will be unable to live like I do now, so I believe that it is important to make the most of what time I have.
However, I also perceive time to be a progression of cycles that God has set in motion. I need constant reminders of both my insignificance and my potential for changing the course of time. I believe that my existence is a small part in a much larger scheme that I'll never comprehend. The fact that I wake up in the morning is mind-boggling when I consider that I am no more deserving of life than the Southeast Asian child that dies of hunger or the elderly woman that dies alone in a cold, cavernous rest home. Time continues to perpetuate itself, but I have yet to be included in the endless cycle of deaths that paves the way for new births. My life is a precious gift from God; in many ways, I have no control over my future - a truth that I have accepted and use as a motivation to manage what time I have wisely.
Furthermore, despite a fundamental lack of control of the inevitable, I believe that my time commitments do result in meaningful action. Though time may cycle, my actions and their cons...

Andrew Jackson beat Adams to win the election of 1828. The majority of his support came from the South, while Adams's support came from the North.
Buell’s army was led by Brigadier General Alexander M. McCook, William "Bull" Nelson, Thomas L. Crittenden, and Thomas J. Wood. These men led over 17,000 troops toward Shiloh and had every intention to kill as many confederate troops as possible in order to take their objective.
In 1796, Adams was elected as the Federalist nominee for president. He won the election becoming the second president. During him being president, a war between French and British broke out and that caused some difficulties for the United States. His administration focused on France, where the government had suspended commercial relations. He sent three commissioners there, but they wouldn’t negotiate unless the U.S paid what amounted to a bribe. This caused a war to break out. By 1800, the undeclared war had ended. And this also cause for Adam to become less popular with the public. He lost the re-election to Thomas
John Quincy Adams was found completely naked in the Potomac River at five in the morning by Ann Royall. He was an avid swimmer and went out every morning to bathe and get ready for the day. Ann did her stalking to figure out that someone left the white house everyday around five so she followed him one morning to see if it could lead to an interview. Yes, he was a man of strange habits, but a necessary help for the nation. John Quincy Adams was a powerful figure who benefitted the government by keeping strong, positive foreign relations, voicing his powerful abolitionist opinions, and serving to advance college education.
In 1797, there were two American battles raging–one internal and one external. On the home front, the government was widely split between the two partisanships at the time: the Federalists, who wanted a stronger centralized government, and the Democratic-Republicans, who wanted a weaker government where states had more power. Internationally, the French Coalition Wars roared between the French and the British. Enter John Adams, President-elect and former Vice President under all-mighty hero George Washington. Adams’s appearance was not one of a desired president: he spoke with a lisp, was significantly below average in stature, and his hands often shook with palsy. Unbeknownst to those in attendance at his Inauguration on March 4, 1797, his
In the end, John Adams lived a very productive life and he strived for America’s independence and freedom. Throughout his life he defended the soldiers at the Boston Massacre and was the second president of the United States of America.
Ferrari, J. R. (2010). Still procrastinating: the no-regrets guide to getting it done. Hoboken, N.J.: Wiley.
A. H. C. Chu and J. N. Choi, psychologists, distinguished two types of protracting, they discovered that active procrastination has attainable characteristics that lead to positive personal outcomes (Choi and Moran). These positive personal outcomes are a result of waiting at its finest. People with these adequate dilatory skills have probably learned from their deficient habits in the past that may help everyone know that the view of holding off can change. Writing this essay has changed my view on procrastination slightly, as I can see how it can be good for you. With my siblings, my free time is limited.
There are 365 days in a year, 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in each minute. This vital element to life is often looked over and is thought of to just pass as we go along our days. It’s not something that we usually stop for to think about and examine. To humans, time is seen as useless and easily brushed off, but many don’t realize that it is a crucial and necessary concept that affects our everyday life and could easily live without us.
The scientific definition of time is a measurement of progress that is relative to an individual’s perception of events (HowStuffWorks.com, 2010). A psychological study proves that these viewpoints are
I want to become a lawyer because I’ve always been interested in the occupation and I want to help people. To be more specific I want to be a prosecutor. I used to watch shows such as Criminal Minds and Law and Order and I also watched the news. While watching the news, I began to think that not all criminals are getting caught, and they are starting to do more and more things to damage the world. I can’t stand thinking that people are doing horrible things and thinking its okay. I want to be able to put those people in prison where they belong.
Measurement for time is ambiguous (Gino and Mogilner 2013); thereby it has differing values to different people. Although our society tends to be focused around money, individuals perceive a higher importance of money on evaluating who they are. Money is a resource open to various degrees of fluctuation, it can be saved, spent and gained and in time is able to replenish it, opposed to time, which is always being lost, thus is valued due to limited supply.
We can 't control the way time is. We can 't make it less or more. However, we can control the way we handle the spare moments in our day. We can make changes on how we use our time, and that can benefit us if we are able to get more done in one day.
You had better know what you want to do when you get older and you better like it because that is what you will be doing for the rest of your life. However, most of the jobs today needs at least 2-4 years of schooling. I want to be a lawyer. A lawyer will almost always get paid a lot to represent someone or some business. All a lawyer has to do is argue for their client and make them sound good and help them out in legal cases. Also, the lawyer gets to tell their client how much they want to be paid. I think that a lawyering job would be good for me because I love to argue, persuade people, and help people. There are few careers that the general public has the most misconceptions about and lawyers are one of the most common.
Ultimately, my life is an intricate combination of my past, present, and future. At all times my life is being affected by my past experiences, present situations, and future aspiration. My past experiences shape how I react in present situations, while my future aspirations influence the present situations that I take on. My past experiences also influence the future path they my life takes. Move over, the path of my life is not linear progression of events, but a complex journey of self-reflection and I experience, reflect, and act in my present
