Sextus Impiricus

The ultimate goal of research or skepticism is to achieve tranquility. Sextus Empiricus believes that skepticism is followed by this feeling of tranquility. He explains this with his example of Appelles. He uses this example, stating that Appelles was the skeptic. He wanted to achieve something, and when he believed that it was not possible, he got angry. In his disbelief or his fixed mind- thinking that it is not possible to paint foam – he threw the sponge which quickly represented foam in the painting. He says that this was done by fate.

Personal Mission Statement

A personal statement is a statement that seeks to describe the purpose of an individual’s existence. It highlights who we are and what we do. In management, a mission statement serves as a tool of planning so as to achieve various goals.

“Perhaps we shall find the best “Good” if we first find the function of a human being. For just as the good, for a flutist, a sculptor, and every craftsman, and, in general, for whatever has a function, seems to depend on its function, the same seems to be true for a human being What, then, could this be? For living appears to be something common even to plants. A certain life characterized by sense perception would be next, but it too appears to be common to a horse and cow and in fact to every animal. The remaining possibility, then, is some sort of ...

The situation of the travelling trades man in the medieval; city is similar in many aspects to the modern day worker as depicted by Morgan.

Personal Nursing Vision

Personal Nursing Vision

Growing up, I never though I would be a nurse but I had a passion for helping people. When I was 12, my elder brother had an accident and I was amazed by how the nurses in the ER did not care about what he ha done to land in the ER but concentrated on giving him the best care. My interest in nursing grew further when I saw nurses visiting him at home when he was recovering. My next turning point was in high school when a Family Nurse Practitioner was invited to give us a talk. I was ...

“Therefore, since each of these characteristics belongs to the good man in relation to himself, and he is related to his friend as to himself (for his friend is another self), friendship too is thought to be one of these attributes, and those who have these attributes to be friends. Whether there is or is not friendship between a man and himself is a question we may dismiss for the present; there would seem to be friendship in so far as he is two or more, to judge from the afore-mentioned attributes of friendship, and from the fact that the extreme ...

Introduction

I chose this image because it symbolizes important things that are slowly fading in this world such as the interrelationship between humanity and nature, the essence of beauty, and the significance of culture among others. All these symbols, combined with a minimalist use of color and elements, make the image so appealing to me. On a more emotional note, this particular image gives me a feeling of peace. It has a calming factor. Looking at it makes me feel at ease and sentimental thoughts tend to arise. Though not exactly the best or the most unique, this image stirs up special feelings.

Norman Rockwell’s Four Freedoms Series is a bright example of how a small thing may have significance and even symbolize the whole epoch. The XXth century is often characterized as a time of struggles, but, unlike the past conflicts, this struggle was not for material goods and land ownership; it was the struggle for a human freedom. Being based on the crucial President Roosevelt’ speech of 1941, Rockwell’s small oil paintings interpreted what a human freedom is made of and what is worth fighting for in this life. Unlike many symbolic images, Rockwell’s pictures are individual and depict ordinary, real people, ...

It simply takes opening of the mind's shutters to let in the sunshine and colour in life. Many people spend an entire lifetime searching for happiness. They shop, they achieve, they run blindfolded -- however, the key to happiness cannot be found. Ask most of the successful people and their answer would be the same -- unless they achieve more, they will not be happy. Farther they go, farther they want to go. So where is the end? No one has answer to that; accept that the answer lies right outside their windows. In the race to be the ...
