In our life, no matter who you are, there will be at least once in your life that you will or have felt inferior. We have various reasons for getting inferior, your colleague getting credit for what he hasn't done, for someone getting a medal which you think you should have gotten, for someone getting a new toy you were dying to buy.
It was a unique experience for me in class, since we every student had to create their own soliloquy, and it was interesting how different people had different experiences to share/ make up.
Below is a soliloquy I wrote for Drama, showing my understanding of what being inferior feels like. Of course, this was not based on a true event, and was only made up for fun.
Soliloquy - Why does she get more than me? Why does she get more time than I do? She's no different, she's just a student. Unless, I'm better than her. That's right, you bloody know it, you know damn right I'm better than her!

Attributes of an Entrepreneur
There are many many many, entrepreneurs who fail. But if you become a successful entrepreneur, you can be a billionaire! But an entrepreneurs journey is painful, and lonely. Are you that type of person with these characteristics? :
Famous inspirational entrepreneurs who I personally am inspired by are:
•Sir Richard Branson (Known for his own enterprise Virgin)
• Duncan Bannatyne. Net-worth £430m.
• Sam Walton, although deceased Sam Walton started from scratch to build up an empire of Wal-Mart.
• Steve Jobs, deceased, passed away few days ago. He said in one of his speeches, 'Stay foolish, Stay Hungry'.
Even though you may have the attributess of an entrepreneur, are you capable of becoming one? An entrepreneur has to require quite a lot of luck. Lets take Sir Richard Branson for instance, narrowly escaping death 4 times. Once on the Virgin Atlantic Challenger attempting to break a world record of crossing the Atlantic Ocean. On his second attempt on the Atlantic Ocean crossing, in reward for the Blue Riband he successfully beat the world record. His other 3 death stories all come along in a hot air balloon. Once trying to fly around the world in a helium-propelled hot air balloon, and twice trying to cross the Pacific Ocean.
But not only has he managed to narrowly escape his fate, he has also successfully started his company Virgin Airlines, even though previous airline, Lakers Airways was brought to an abrupt failure in competing against (at the time) British Airways. But Virgin Airlines successfully overcame all odds, and astonished the whole world, including Sir Freddie Laker himself.

Justice
What is justice? What is the right thing to do? Do we always have to put moral and ethics in front of us? The video explains a Harvard Professor lecturing students about what the right things are for certain scenarios.
You don't need to watch the whole thing, but just go through 10 minutes of it. After watching the 10 minutes, come back here and post what you would do in the scenarios that were provided.
Personally, there would be 1 scenario I would do differently to everybody else in the lecture. If the cart could be stopped by me pushing a big (no offense intended in anyway) man to say 5 other people, I would certainly push the man down. My reason being would be, because if I could save 5 man for sacrificing 1 it saves more people. But if I save the man who is next to me, I would feel guilt for knowing I could have saved more lives if I pushed him down.
Whereas on the other hand, if you were to ask me to do the same thing in the doctor's scenario, I would not possibly do that. I would be violating the law to take one healthy person (who is only here for a checkup)'s life, to save 5 others' I would not be able. Unless the one healthy person agrees to sacrifice his life to save the other 5.
Comments are appreciated.
