I developed many of my leadership skills I believe through sports. In my recent years, I ...

Abstract

Kurt Lewin, the father of social psychology, developed the change theory of nursing which is a three stage change model that necessitates the rejection and replacement of all prior learning. The stages in the model consist of unfreezing, change and refreezing. The change theory consists of three concepts which include driving and restraining forces and equilibrium. The driving forces ideally push a patient towards a particular direction hence facilitating change. The restraining force, on the other hand, tries to hinder the desired change by pushing the patient away from the driving forces in the opposite direction. The restraining forces' ...

Marie Curie's contribution to science cannot be overemphasized.

The great importance of a time, when they were made, gives Marie Curie's breakthroughs so much significance: the time when women did not have the opportunity to study, not to mention the scientific activity. Dedication, perseverance, and faith in that she is doing the right things helped Marie ...

Inyang defines leadership as the process of influencing people so that they strive willingly and enthusiastically toward the realization of group goals.

This paper will analyze Bezos’ leadership style throughout his professional career, personal characteristics, communication with employees, vision and impact on his companies, to comprehend ...

Failure is the way to victory; nobody rewards any defeat and failure is a step towards success (Estrem, 2010). No individual is free from any ...

The questions of learning and intelligence have long been debated since education has ever existed. That learning leads directly to intelligence is an assumption which has not been subject to adequate scrutiny.

That is, by studying less an intelligent student is expected to know about study subjects enough, which requires least effort possible of her. Talent, moreover, has long been praised as an exceptional gift which one is helpless to develop, let alone initiate. To help ...

A survey of the human population will show that people exhibit different levels of creativity. People have different abilities to generate novel solutions to significant problems in the society (Duxbury 1).

I thought I was being lucky enough to enter Indiana Bloomington University and that luck will hold me till the rest of my studies without putting real effort in it. But as it turned out, I was not that lucky. In ...

The relationship between parents and their children can often be somewhat contentious, not seeing eye to eye; however, the intention of a parent’s tough love is usually to ensure that their child can survive in the harsh world that lays in front of them. This is exacerbated when individuals of color must teach their children how to deal with a world that does not afford them the same rights and acceptance as white children. This is certainly the case in Langston Hughes’ poem “Mother to Son,” in which a mother discusses the difficulties she has endured as a black woman to ...

Perseverance is being able to conquer all hardships and stand face up no matter how tough a situation you have to go through is. Indicatively, the online Oxford Dictionaries define perseverance as “persistence in doing something despite difficulty” (Oxford University Press), which also gives a satisfying definition to my life’s path as of now.

In fact, it could as well be the very last phase ...
