Final exam
1. Where was Joe Girard born, and what famous boxer did he grow up near?
He was born on the east side of Detroit, Michigan, in one of the city's most deplorable ghettos. He lived about one mile from one of his earliest heroes, Joe Louis, who escaped from poverty and became heavyweight champion boxer of the world while Joe was still a struggling adolescent.
2. Many social welfare workers, teachers, and parent groups deplore and condemn abusive treatment of children. But after reading about Joe Girard, what, if any, horrible effects did his father's abusive tongue have on him?
Joe often speculates as to whether his father's behavior was the carefully planned campaign of a man who desperately wished to challenge his son. Whatever the truth, the senior Gerard chose to constantly berate his son with the message that Joe would never amount to anything worthwhile. This was Joe's first spark: the determination to prove that his father had been wrong.
3. According to Joe Girard, what were the best places to generate business and why? Where did he look for work at age 9?
At the age of 9, after school and a hurried dinner, Joe patrolled the neighborhood bars for some shoe shine customers. He would not have thought of it in these terms, but after examining the market he decided that the best source for business was a place of leisure where people were relaxed and inclined to be generous.
4. At age 11, Joe got into the soda pop business, selling soda for much less than other competitors in the neighborhood. How did Joe get into the soda pop business?
At the age of 11, he took his second job as a newscarrier for the Detroit Free Press. Because it was, and still is, a morning paper, it was necessary to be up at 5:30 a.m. to complete his route before school. The Free Press, he quickly learned, also offered bonuses for enterprising newsboys who where willing to solicit and gain new business.
5. Which 2 principles did Joe learn at that young age that he learned would produce wonders?
The old barn behind the Gerard house was soon stacked high with the rewards of Joe's efforts. Although it provided the four Gerard children with a huge supply of soda pop, somethinProxy-Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0
their parents couldn't possibly afford, Joe soon realized that he had a growing inventory of value and soon began his third business venture as soda pop supplier to the neighborhood children at a price no ordinary vendor could meet. His proudest moments were on those days when he brought his earning to his mother; no childish gesture as his pennies helped to put badly needed food on the Gerard table.
6. Joe understood that if he planned his work and worked his plan that he would succeed. What does that mean to "plan your work and then work your plan?"
Well in my opinion i think it means that what he wants to work in forever.
Is something good for him becuase his actually goin for a plan that he wants to do.
7. How many hours a day and how many days per week did it take Joe to earn $75 a week?
At the age of 16, Joe obtained full-time employment at the Michigan Stove Company as a stove assembler. He earned $75 weekly, his greatest earnings thus far, even though it required 12-hour days, six days a week.
8. Why did Joe leave the military prematurely, and what did he do to earn an honorable discharge?
Dispirited and aimless, Joe joined the United States Army Infantry at the age of 18. Ninety seven days later, at Fort Knox, Kentucky, Joe fell from the rear of a speeding military vehicle and badly injured his back. He was given an honorable discharge after admitting to previously injuring his back diving for the school swimming team.

1. What does the author mean when he says, "money can buy you time, which is why we pay physicians and pharmaceutical companies after we have heart attacks"?
money can buy you time, which is why we pay physicians and pharmaceutical companies after we have heart attacks. We can trade one for the other. But we can buy more money with time than we can buy time with money. The system is asymmetrical. There are people who are worth a billion dollars. No one I know is going to live 300 years unless a major breakthrough in medicine takes place.
2. Reread the paragraph that starts "But 25% more pay is not the heart of the matter." The author then says, "People who start businesses are more likely to get rich than anyone else." According to the author, why is this true?
But 25% more pay is not the heart of the matter. People who start businesses are more likely to get rich than anyone else. I have never known a business owner who worked an eight-hour day. All of them work at least ten hours, and most work on Saturdays. Yet they make far more than 25% more or even 50% more. If their business survives, they move into the top 20% of income earners.

ds what the heading "The High Cost of Leisure" means given what has been covered so far in the article.

4. In what year in human history did productivity begin its "steady upward rise . . . of 2.5% per annum"?
Beginning in the mid-18th century, productivity began its steady upward rise: about 2.5% per annum.
5. What was Thomas Edison's contribution to "overcoming nature"? How did his invention overcome nature?
Thomas Edison's light bulb turned night into day in the factory as well as the home. Air conditioning has turned work places into perpetual spring. The ancient rhythms of night and day and the seasons have been overcome in homes and work places. We can choose how much we want to work.
6. According to the author, how do most of us overcome nature?
Well, in my opinion we invent things. Thats pretty much how we overcome in nature.
7. According to the author, why do most people don't like to work?
Well, most people don't like to work becuase maybe they are rich already
they don't want to be dealing with things, they are lazy but most of all becuase is hard to find a job too. Its never that easy.
9. Gary North's article promotes and privileges creators over consumers. He says, "What most people do not recognize early enough is that they should find employment in a field in which the compounding process produces a sense of personal achievement that lures them back into an ever-greater investment of their time. The compounding process is what produces success, but the front-end costs, especially psychological costs, keep out most people. They willingly serve as salary earners rather than creators." What does he mean by the "compounding process"?

The compounding process is what produces success, but the front-end costs, especially psychological costs, keep out most people. They willingly serve as salary earners rather than creators.
10. In his section on "The Problem With Schools," Gary North says that great teachers are not allowed to multiply themselves. What does he mean by multiplying one's self?
They may be great teachers, but they are not allowed to multiply themselves. They are oddities.

He was also making $60,000 a year in the motel business. His coach told him to quit school. "You're making more money than I am. Why do you want to teach junior high school boys, whose parents will be on your back to give their kid more playing time?" He wisely dropped out of college."
Well i can lkearn how this guy became successful on earning a degreein physical ed. Also how he made lots of money over 60,000 dollars a year in a motel buisness. And well his coach tells him to quit school becuase his making enough money. But he wants to tech junior high school students.

Scott Walker
a. Who is Scott Walker?
Scott walker is a person who does recycling.
b. An editorial in The Journal Times.com was outraged by a decision that Walker was considering. What did Walker want to do?
Under the plan, subsidies for local recycling programs would end and municipalities would no longer be required to run those programs.
c. Why did Governor Walker surrender his plan, and what were the arguments his opponents raised?
The governor quickly folded his plan when he failed to get the backing of key Republican lawmakers, who said his plan goes too far.
d. According to the article, what is the estimated number of waste-pickers worldwide?
The trash will be sorted and removed by the estimated 15 million waste pickers in the world.
e. Individual homeowners and employees at schools and other institutions believe that it is really important to separate recyclable items like paper, glass, and plastic. According to the article, how would individual waste-pickers benefit from just throwing everything away into a single bin?
Before the municipal garbage trucks pull up to empty trash bins, these waste pickers comb through the trash, pulling out paper, plastic, glass, or anything else they know they can sell. The typical garbage collectors reportedly earn from 50 to 100 Turkish lira a week.
g. Open up another tab and google "currency converter." Find out how much 17,000 lira are in terms of US dollars.
1 US dollar.
h. Read that paragraph next to the picture with the "For Sale" real estate sign. According to that paragraph, what is one of the benefits of allowing individuals roaming neighborhoods to collect trash?
Americans would likely be horrified to see entrepreneurs pulling carts of other people's trash through the streets and living at junkyards. They needn't worry. Minimum-wage laws, business licensing, OSHA requirements and all the rest will keep some Americans rooting through their own trash to comply with government edicts.

Yesterday it was my sister's birthday. She turned 15 years old yesterday. She is a freshman here at Helen Bernstein High School. I took her out to eat Italian. I took her to target. I told her to pick 3 things whatever she wanted. That was my gift to her. Today I woke up in the morning I got up did a little bit of exercise. I showered after i was dressing up to go to school I see the same old lady with her chiwuawua walking in front of my house by a black car thatt is always parked in the same spot every morning. I ate breakfast. When I started walking to school i saw the same old guy smoking a ciggaret in the same corner just like every morning.

what i thought about the khan academy
Well when i opened the website i thought we were going to do math problems. The boring thing. But when i clicked on something very easy, i had simply kind of forgot how to distribute. When this guy started taking and explaining how to do the problems that was ask to do, he would explain it very good. In a second he helped me remember how to do it. He is very explainable i think is a very good website where when you have problems with a type of math your not understanding. I think the khan academy would be a good website for anybody that wants a little help on their type of math. I guarantee you, you will get it. Is a really good website for people that have trouble with math. For example me.

My Dream Job
Well my dream job it always came to music. I love to dance and sing. Dancing I've been doing for a long time. Singing I've been doing it for 2 years. All i ever want to do is become a big famous singer or a professional dancer. I always wanted to have a dancing school that i own.
The singing career is coming out good. Ive been doing a lot of presentations around in L.A., La Puente, Ontario, Burbank, East L.A, Chino hills, etc. including other countries and states. Im actually going for it to make myself somebody in the singing career. I sing every kind of music ranchera, oldies in spanish, romantic, balads, cumbias, etc. My dream of being a singer is actually in a good way right now.
The dancing career is okay. Is not as good as is going like my singing career. But dancing is a little tiny job for me. I do choreography for weddings, quinceaneras, parties, etc. But i i sing mostly. Dancing i love doing it because is something i do for a long time. Im not a professional in dancing or singing but i try doing my best always in wherever i perform.
In conclusion, I just want to be a big famous singer. But if i can't do that i am going to have my dancing school. But i would just want one of those two dreams to happen and i am sure that i will be a successful student if i put my mind in it.

Walter E. Williams
As if more proof were needed about the minimum wage's devastating effects, yet another study has reached the same conclusion. Last week, two labor economists, Professors William Even (Miami University of Ohio) and David Macpherson (Trinity University), released a study for the Washington, D.C.-based Employment Policies Institute titled "Unequal Harm: Racial Disparities in the Employment Consequences of Minimum Wage Increases."
During the peak of what has been dubbed the Great Recession, the unemployment rate for young adults (16 to 24 years of age) as a whole rose to above 27 percent. The unemployment rate for black young adults was almost 50 percent, but for young black males, it was 55 percent.
Even and Macpherson say that it would be easy to say this tragedy is an unfortunate byproduct of the recession, but if you said so, you'd be wrong.
Their study focuses on 16-to-24-year-old male high school dropouts, understandably a relatively inexperienced group of labor market participants. Since minimum wage laws discriminate against the employment of the least-skilled worker, it shouldn't be surprising to find 16-to-24-year-old male high school dropouts its primary victims.
Among the white males, the authors find that "each 10 percent increase in a state or federal minimum wage has decreased employment by 2.5 percent; for Hispanic males, the figure is 1.2 percent.

Osama Ben Ladin is killed.
Details about the killing of bin Laden remain obscure. The mission, a joint operation between CIA and Special Forces, appeared to have been mounted from a US-controlled air base in Pakistan – without the advance knowledge of Pakistan’s government.
The real reason was more likely to prevent bin Ladens burial site from becoming a shrine and, some cynics will assert, getting rid of the evidence. Expect endless claims that a bin Laden double was killed while the real McCoy still haunts Pakistan’s badlands. Various fakes videotapes used to depict bin Laden as the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks used doubles.
Gleeful Americans are rejoicing that the man credited with the monstrous crime of 9/11 has been killed after a ten year search. More thoughtful ones may stop to ponder the remarkable Quixotic drama of a single man who set out to overturn the mighty American Imperium. To people of the Muslim world, where many hailed bin Laden as a hero and liberator from Western domination, his killing in Pakistan will recall American gangland rub-outs and bodies dumped in New Jersey’s waters and swamps.

Gleeful Americans are rejoicing that the man credited with the monstrous crime of 9/11 has been killed after a ten year search. More thoughtful ones may stop to ponder the remarkable Quixotic drama of a single man who set out to overturn the mighty American Imperium.
To people of the Muslim world, where many hailed bin Laden as a hero and liberator from Western domination, his killing in Pakistan will recall American gangland rub-outs and bodies dumped in New Jersey’s waters and swamps. Particularly after NATO warplanes killed Muammar Gadaffi’s youngest son and three grandchildren in Libya.
The real reason was more likely to prevent bin Laden’s burial site from becoming a shrine and, some cynics will assert, getting rid of the evidence.

Frank Chodorov
Frank Chodorov was born Feburary 15, 1887-1966 on the lower east side of New York. He grew up on the west side of New York. His father, an immigrant, who like many others, took to peddling as a means of making a living, brought me a toy of some sort form one of his trips, maybe the fact that this was the only one i ever had, if memory serves me right, an indelible impression on me.
As a vocation, peddling has long since gone out of style in this country, and the image of the peddler that has remained is not a glamorous one. Yet, the peddler must be given credit for helping to build the great American economy. He began his enterprise by bringing to the hinterland a modest pack on his back, as much as he had capital for, selling the contents and returning to his distributing point as soon as possible. He lived frugally, saved much of the proceeds of his sales, and invested his savings in a larger pack.
This is the story of most of the department stores, the merchandise marts, that dot the American landscape today; they began with a pack on some peddler's back. Indeed, it is the story in broad outline of many of the industries that make up the American economy, from steel to automobile; some pioneer, beginning in a small way, exercised industry and thrift and plowed back his savings into his business to serve the needs of the community. He might have, as conditions warranted, borrowed the savings of others to expand his enterprise, but until he had demonstrated his ability to render service, and the need for it, his capital consisted mainly of his own savings.
Now, the peddler, using the term figuratively, was the backbone of the American economic and social system. He was the middle-class man who prided himself on his initiative, self-reliance, independence and, above all, his integrity. He might be shrewd and even grasping, but he never asked for favors and certainly did not expect society to take care of him.

What about the excess — that is, the amount by which the amount collected exceeds the amount paid? Don't look there for hope or for some of your “I put it in” money. The government spends that excess as part of its general welfare-state expenditures. In return, it inserts government “IOUs” into the so-called Social Security fund. What that means is that federal officials are promising to pay the Social Security money back, with interest, that they are spending.
The entire Social Security scheme is a lie and a fraud of monumental proportions — and has been since the very beginning. If someone in the private sector tried something like this, he'd be serving a long sentence in a federal penitentiary.Let's divide Social Security recipients into two categories — those who truly depend on the government's largess and those who don't because they are already sufficiently wealthy. Those who aren't financially dependent on Social Security could be cut off immediately. If people wish to make a donation to someone who is financially well off, they can do that privately and voluntarily.
The implicit reason, according to the bureaucrats, is that Americans cannot be trusted to voluntarily help their parents. That is, if Social Security taxes were abolished, children would sooner let their parents die in the streets than voluntarily help them out. Or to put it another way, only bureaucrats, not regular people, can be trusted to help people in need, albeit with money extracted from regular people through the force of the IRS.
The argument of the social security is a continuation of america's premier socialists program and that american's can be trust to take care of themselves or parents. Thats wProxy-Connection: keep-alive

a. Summarize his/her personal background: When and where was he born, who were his parents, what did the parents do, where did he go to school, what were his first business ventures, etc.
luis miguel was born on april 19th 1970 in San juan , Puerto Rico. his parents name were luis rey and marcella basteri. his dad was a spanish singer and his mom was a model of italian ancestry.
Explain his/her vision for the first company and or first product. Where did the vision come from?
In addition to the criticism of his music as staid and florid, Miguel also faced pressure to join the trend toward recording in English that swept the Latin music scene in the late 1990s. After Ricky Martin and Marc Anthony achieved major success in the United States with English-language releases, many eagerly awaited Miguel's first release aimed at the American market. Despite pleas from his record company to follow the crossover wave, however, Miguel insisted on sticking with his own musical vision. "I love my language, and I am proud of Spanish," he told Billboard in 1999. "Now is not the right time for me to sing in English—maybe in the future, who knows?" Instead, Miguel pushed his artistic boundaries by acting in the movie Fiebre de Amor and making an appearance on the soundtrack as well.
