I could write this essay with my absolute most divine attention... but I couldn't. This is just such a broad question that I could go literally any direction to talk about this. My first though would be that I truly want to and enjoy learning about other cultures, economy's, and lifestyles. We as humans are all interconnected. We wouldn't have our phones if it weren't for some factory worker with the most minuscule wage. It is truly wrong the wages these people earn, I want to learn about this, how the phone is shipped, who ships it, whats the cost, whats the environmental affects of producing that phone, etc. That is just one example that I could rant on about for hours! What else... ah I would have to go with the advertising field. For me I try to learn what is this country trying to promote. What is their agenda and how are they going to push it forward, without being to totalitarian. From that then you can look at their economic output. If a country really promotes health and medicine... then what are their biggest producers and how much are they making. How much is it influencing a countries economy, whats their environmental output towards the environment around them. All of these things are what I try and take into account when I take a look at a countries economy. In the business world all of these apply. I wouldn't say that one aspect of business communicating is more important that the other. Because like I said earlier everyone and everything is interconnected, even the aspects of business. If we didn't have advertising then how would anyone know to buy your product or know what your business is about. If you don't have marketing... then there is no advertising! Advertising is a subset of marketing, no more instagram ads, youtube ads, commercials, posters, mouth to mouth advertising, .com ads, everything and anything that gets your brand out to the world. I feel as though I am babbling at this point... but its true. There is truly so many different ways you can look at just these three subsets of the business world. The main take away from my essay that I hope whoever is reading this understands... is that we as humans are all interconnected whether we like it or not. When a global pandemic accrued the world shut down, people didn't know how to live their rattled lives. We rely on other in the world just how others in the world rely on us. I think more and more people are starting to see/ realize how important it is to keep our connectivity, because when it is rattled it can affect the whole world.

Well I push myself to the limits... ensuring that I never stay stuck in the same place as I was before. This can range from anything like school, hobbies, work, exercise, and dedicated research. All of these and many more are some of the self-improvement/self-care interests that create a different future for me everyday. The thing with practicing is that the goal is to become better... the best. So in applying these to my life I am setting myself up for success.

-Be the person you strive to become, but set goals and plans to help get you there.- I would say that is some of the best eye opening advice anyone could receive is the type of advice that is plain and simple. You can't set these high standards for yourself when you haven't even started down the road of self actualization. It starts with small goals. Small steps. One doesn't become a millionaire in a day... usually. But seriously you have to have set goals and plans and put them into action. Set a day, a time, and a place to help get you towards what you strive to become. If you want to run marathon, start with a small walk. If you want to become a millionaire, get a job, work, setup a ROTH. These ambitions that people in this world long for can't happen without starting small and working your way up. Period.

Honestly the one thing I can say is getting people connected. I am not the type of person to unenclude people from anything even if they are the worst at it. Thats the whole point of bringing people together even if they come from different backgrounds... to promote positivity. So for me right now it could be how I am attempting to startup a Fishing club at my high school. It is a great program that I am super pumped for. The goal is to bring everyone together from very experienced to someone afraid of touching fish. I am just super pumped because I love to fish and I am glad that I was given this opportunity to help bring people together.

Optimism is something that we gain through experience. For me it is looking into the future. Staying positive. And working on your goals to help leap you into a greater life. I personally take what I learned from the mistakes I have made and look to learn from them.

The most inspiring book that I have probably ever read was Rich Dad Poor Dad. This book opened up my eyes too many different aspects of life. I have always been curious towards finance and how to become wealthy... and this book did all of the above. I read it over the summer and it helped me get more involved into my own carrier and finance journey.

I would just have to say anything that involves nature. It can be walking my dogs deep into the forest on a trail. Maybe a deep sea fishing trip when surrounded by nothing but ocean. Or my favorite would be gliding down the Rocky Mountains on my snowboard. Those are the moments when everything starts to fade and you feel a sense of peace. So I would have to say that when I feel most happy it is when I am disconnected from the social world. Often people don't see nature for what is is, missing out on one of life's simple pleasures that everyone should appreciate.

Pursue what makes you happy. Plan and simple. Living a happy life goes hand-in-hand with living a healthy life. Because if you end up in a job, marriage, living conditions, etc that you are completely miserable in it will truly affect your mentality towards life. Because you will always be wondering if you could have been more happy doing what actually makes you happy and not what the world said that you needed to be. If you can life a healthy lifestyle both physically and mentally it will help you live a happy life which in-turn gives you that healthy life that we all want.

Man... what is best financial advice I have ever received. Actually I'm sitting in my Personal Finance class right now. So why don't I give my teacher, Mr. DeNegri, a quick ask. She says start "investing early", because we earn more compound interest early and won't have to put as much in an investment account later in life. And therefore hopefully avoiding as much debt as possible. I mean that has always been the goal, but this year its has become more and more apparent with the help of my close teachers and people I can look up to. I just hope that I can apply all the advice that I receive to my real life.

This question should really be asking "What I haven't learned". Sure we take the things we learn each and every day and apply that to our livelihoods, but it's what humans don't know that keeps them going. Not the things already leaned. But the things that we aspire to learn and hope to grow on. I know what I'm saying sounds like gibberish, but whoever is reading this I believe you get what I'm trying to say. The realization of not being a total know-it-all can be humbling. In a way that makes us more driven to pursue what makes us happy and healthy... even if it hurts. I'm getting off topic and thats kind of why I suck at English, and I'm dyslexic but thats besides the point, the point is there is a ahhaa moment in most peoples lives. You can either embrace hardship and work your ass off for what you really want to become, like a dream job,... or you let todays problems affect tomorrow's outcomes and get stuck in this never ending cycle of torment and stress. The answer maybe more difficult than the easy way out, but it really just comes down to what you are going to do about it.
