Syllogism

A major and minor premise, with a conclusion 

Are premises true?

Validity: does conclusion follow premises?

I feel, the future is bright with light, but at the same time, society is going to plummet, crash, burn, and to save us, we have to learn to care, to stop being as cool as we think we are, because we're not, we are teenagers, we are not invincible, and we are not gods. Get that through your head, and do your schoolwork, get good grades, follow DP's rules, and be successful! Don't put everything in blind hope! What happens if it fails! What will you do then! You need to wake up, and get to work, the only way you'll grow stronger, and be better, is to work for the future you want.

Argument Notes

Adversary: An enemy

In court, the first thing attorney's say to the clients, is to stop talking to each-other.Two daughters, and one orange, cuts the orange in half. Both sad. The interest is what matters, one wants the peel, one wants the pulp. The reson why is to find out.People want to be heard. Customer service for example, it's safe to just argue because their not someone close to you, just a poor guy.Parents, teachers, bosses, there's a power imbalance, so feelings get pent up, the anger is still there, the feeling of wanting a voice is still there. Control and trust imbalance. 

Ask Questions, what can DP do to improve you.

Make yourself captain, and see what happens. HW for tomorrow.

Things happened, stuff changed, and I keep moving on. I live in Santa Maria now for a reason, and that stays a secret. But things did change, and now I am indefinitely different, less panicking, less arguments, more happy, and more anti social! To me, Anti Social, is a good thing, I feel better about myself, and I don't have to deal with people, other than the weird looks they give me when I finally speak.

Motivation

Motivation- theoretical construct, used to explain behavior, represents reasons for people's actions, desires, needs. A motive is what prompts the person to act in a certain way or at least develop an inclination for specific behavior. 

We seek pleasure and we avoid pain.

Extrinsic Motivation: outside motivation 

Intrinsic Motivation: inside motivation

Here's what I would do, I'd first, go get "just a job" then, after work, sit down, and write, I'd practice, and practice, letting my ideas flow, and let my brain work, improving with every sentence, until a masterpiece is made, and I can quit that "just a job" and earn money from doing what I love. If it doesn't work out, then I'd try again, and again, failure not being an option.

Jiro inspires us, by showing how dedicated people have to be, and can be to what they love. He shows us that anything is possible, that impossible is just a word, and that we should do what we love, and only strive to make it better.
