Why Most People Will Never be Succesful

This article caught my eye and piqued my interest because the author indicates that he had the secrets to why people aren’t successful. I would like to be successful so I wanted to learn what not to do. I liked the authors writing style because he didn’t seem to be talking from above you. It was a friendly tone as if he was telling you because he cared about you. I connected this article to literary terminology of escape and interpretive fiction. The author is saying that we will need to spend less of our time on mediocre tasks; This is the same as reading solely escape fiction. We will never be able to grow and learn if that is all we read and learn. The article portrayed to me that people are inherently inventive driven. People like to follow insentives even if they are not beneficial to them in the future. The article is working to elaborate on the habits and mindset we must develop. These habits and mindsets will always have to built and improved to marketing us more productive and accomplishing more.

Why Reliance on Technology is a Bad Thing

This topic is interesting for me because it hits close to home. I believe the topic is really relevant and pressing today. I liked the sense of realism the author portrays to you while reading it. The author uses examples like “Imagine a power outage… The kind that brought an entire coast of our country grinding to a halt”. He signifies how in today’s age it would be almost impossible to live in a power outage for any extended periods of time or when our fossil fuels run out. He claims that 50 years ago engineers, stock traders, and designers would be able to continue their profession rather than it being crippled as it would in today’s technological society. personally connected to this article because I used to rely on technology for everything and would not be able to put it down. It became more of a necessity for me rather than a tool. In a power outage that we experienced it felt impossible to continue when my devices died. When I stepped back and started thinking of it as a tool again I was able to continue without it. I can now read books and practice music without feeling unbearably bored.
