Worst argument

      I almost never get into arguments but the worst argument that I've ever been in was when I got into a fight with one of my best friends, I won't say his name so let's call him Daniel and let's call his girlfriend Ruby, of course, these are not their real names but just so I don't have to go through the trouble of saying he, she and them. Ok, so I'm friends with both Daniel and Ruby, I have been friends with Ruby a long time before Daniel asked her out and they got together but we didn't talk all the time but we did talk pretty often. Since I always hung out with Daniel I go to spend more time with Ruby. after awhile I found myself really close to Ruby, I felt like we had bonded and grew closer as friends, Daniel comprehended it as something else.
      The Oktoberfest came around and our whole friend group got together to have fun, I came with Ruby because I was just around her house so we go to Oktoberfest and we wait for the rest of the group to come. Everyone gets there but Daniel won't talk to me and he doesn't for the whole night until I get home. He accuses me of trying to steal his girl, from then on it's a pretty personal and heated argument, at the end of our argument I do something that I will forever regret, Daniel even pleaded me not to but I was too hot headed to listen. What I did is something I don't want to reveal because of how bad I feel about it, maybe in the future, I will come back and write what I did but for now, I'll keep that to myself.

fake it 'till you become it

      There was a ted talk that was about changing your mind by changing your body. Let me elaborate, people say that your mind can change your body like if you just got a confidence boost you will hold your head high, or if you get really embarrassed you might curl up. This ted talk was about that maybe if you change your stance it will affect your mind, and it actually works if you take a certain stance you'll have more confidence and energy. You might think that you are faking who you are but it's fake it till you become it pretend to have confidence till you actually have confidence and just take the stance for like two minutes if your nervous or really stressed.
      Once you have confidence in yourself you will feel like a totally different person, you will be more enthusiastic and will become more of a risk taker. This was discovered by studying the body language of people with confidence and those with out. those who lack confidence were more reserved and concealed while people with confidence were open and enthusiastic so if your mind controls your body why can't it work the other way around?

Favorite quote

      My favorite quote is, "Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve." who was from Napolean Hill who is mostly known for his book "Think and Grow Rich". The reason this is my favorite quote is because it says that anything is achievable if you believe in it. This quote could be taken that something can only be achieved if you believe you can in the first place. Since anything that I can conceive and believe I can achieve, this makes me believe that any goal or dream I have is attainable and not something that is improbable and unlikely to happen, this quote sort of makes me believe that anything is, in fact, possible and allows this quote to be possible and so that is why I find this quote to be my favorite.
