Saving Vs Spending

I think that I'm a saver rather than a spender. I usually like to gather up my money and wait until I have enough to invest it into something bigger and better. That way what I'm spending and wanting to buy is more worthwhile. I agree with the article, saying that when your young, you can be taught to be a saver and be more careful with your money. I think that in my generation, there's a little bit of both savers and spenders. But, compared to people of other generations, I think that as a whole, my generation spends more than we save. This could be from a few things, including that our grandparents lived near a depression, so money was tight. They learned to be smart with their money and be a 'saver' rather than a 'spender'. But our generation didn't as good, because our parents never really had as much of a problem, because they didn't live during a depression  so we haven't learned as much from them about saving and spending in that sense.

My 'Tribes'

I believe that everybody is apart of 'tribes'. Maybe not necessarily legit tribes, like in India or Africa. But in the sense of groups you belong to. I belong to the tribe of people of Italian heritage. Of students who play sports, and of teenagers who like to hang out in their free time. I belong to the tribe of those who like to play music unnecessarily loud. And the tribe of people that like to play football, run track and cross country, and wrestle. I'm in the tribe of people who enjoy free time, and dislike mountains of homework. And the tribe of those who like enjoyable midnight snacks for no particular reason. I'm apart of the tribes of my characteristics and things I like.

Extrovert vs Introvert People

In many cases, there are two types of people- extroverts and introverts. I think that I'm an Extrovert, because I like to be with people rather than be alone all the time. If everybody in the world was an introvert, I think It'd be pretty quiet. However, if everyone was an extrovert, the world would be really wild and crazy. It's pretty good to have a good combination of both, it keeps everything good; loud and exciting, but also calm and secure. The same goes for your friends; its nice to have some outgoing extrovert friends, but also some calm introvert friends to be serious with. Extrovert leaders are pretty good, in my opinion. They're more up-beat enough to get everybody's attention, and get people to get stuff done, where an introvert leader is more quiet and doesn't communicate as much to the group on the needs to complete a project. It's the same for teachers- its nice to have an outgoing and fun teacher to help make the class more enjoyable.

"You have to name it before you can claim it"

One of the most important things to becoming successful is making goals. These help you to set the bar for your achievements and to reach out to your full potential. Plus it gives a self reflection, and theats always good to see what your good at and what your not, to fix and improve that. Goals help you to "name it before you claim it" and work towards claiming it.

"There is Power in Forgiveness"

The crazy thing about life, is how people can do one small simple thing, and make a huge affect. It may not seem to be as significant at the moment, especially if your the one doing the damage. But little things, if not solved and tended to, can grow out and lengthen to become long-term problems. That's why people need to learn to accept, move on, and forgive. Without being able to do this, life completely changes, as you could be living in a life of unnecessary emotions. But being able to makes life a lot more fun, happy, and enjoyable.

"There is no reality, only perception"

Life in general has a lot of twists to it. In high school at least, there's the need to maintain grades, extra-curricular activities like sports, and having a social life. But despite all this, we're expected to be outstanding and show tedious work and behavior. There's a lot of things going on that can distract you, but you have to just keep working hard and persevere to get better and keep moving on.
