Thesis on Prompt 2

February 3rd, 2009 by

Great actions could be defind as many things. Some may see a great action as a monsterus task achieved with life or world changing effects. Others may see a great action as standing up for that one kid everyone picks on. I believe “Great thoughts speak only to a thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all humankind” is a complex way of saying actions are better understood than words, doing is better than saying, and an action can benefit all humankind compared to a thought, which is just a thought. It does not take a genius to understand an action someone makes compared to a complex sentence. It takes a special someone to go out and do compared to your normal Joe who stands and speaks of what needs to be done. An action such as starting a war can cause untold death and destruction, but two countries or fractions can’t end such an event on just a thought. As the old saying goes, “It’s a lot easier said than done.”

Picking up a pencil or asking for someone to pick up your pencil can be interpreted differently. Some people may take your question as a statement and become enraged by your command and lack of respect. Others may see your question as a joke or a referance to something not involved with your question. If one were to just pick up the pencil all would see the true meaning behind your question. People can understand things better as a visual compared to a statement or question which can be interpreted in different manners.

Some people may say they want to help the starving kids in Africa but it takes a special someone to go out and do it. Everyone can say they want to do this and that, but to go out and do it are two tottaly different things. For example, a person can benefit from winning a trophy or a prize of some sort. There may be others who say they are going to win, but for that one person or team who does, it is a special moment of pride and revelation. As for the others, they have talked and were not able to get it done, sending them into pitty and torment almost hurting themselves in the end. Doing takes a lot more effort and is much more rewarding in the end.

Thoughts are just that, thoughts. The invention of the lightbulb was founded on a thought but was not just left as that. It was expanded and turned into an invention which would turn the page on history and allow us to become as advanced as we are today. What people think and what people do are to tottaly different things. This, I believe, is the real reason “Great thoughts speak only to a thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all humankind.” It shows that for someone to understand an action it does not take a certain IQ or intellectual level. It takes a thought and a will for something to go from your head to reality.

All the reasons given above are good definitions for the stated quote. To do somnething takes time and effort compared to saying which may be left at that. “Great thoughts speak only to a thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all humankind.” This quote explains the reality that doing something is a momentus task that may very well change the course of the world. A thought is a beggining to a greater end . “It’s easier said than done,” they were’nt kidding!

First Paragraph On Good Design

January 29th, 2009 by

The car of tommorow is going to need a new fuel, not from oil, but from an eco friendly substance. I propose, to create a new gas, would be to create a better world, end global warming, and upstart our economy. Our dependency on foreign oil leads us to many conflicts and stressful situations. The exhaust fuems from today’s cars cause pollution and dissolve the fragile ozone layer. The new fuel will open a brand new job market and bring many jobs to a job hungry people. The technology of today is technology of old, The technology of tommorow is the real technology of today…

The Big Wheel

December 16th, 2008 by

Technology has helped solidify the human race as the dominant species on planet earth, and as of now nothing has helped to do that more than the automobile. The auto mobile can take one from one place to another in very short amount of time. Trips that would take month’s now take days. The auto mobile also supply’s a safe way of travel. One does not have to worry about bandits and raiders like in old western time. Automobiles also brought upon a personal sense of style and personality to people and the car’s they buy. Some cars are considered cools and other’s are not, what do you want to be? In the future, automobiles may take human beings to new heights and new worlds never before dreamed of by man.
            A car ride today was the trip and journey of yesterday. Wagons and horses were the main transportation for the people in colonial ages. Many wagons had 2 to 4 horses, and traveled at very low speeds. Also, terrain was an obstacle not really experienced today. Now, high performance cars can travel at an excess of 200 miles per hour and have over 500 horse power. We can get from here to there in a very short amount of time. It allows people to use there time more effectively in the new high tempo world of today. Traveling is not as much of a hassle, which allows people to interact and communicate with those that would be unreachable in colonial times. One can “see the world” with relative ease, and enjoy the nicer things in life.

Two cars travailing at 80 miles per hour hit in a high speed collision, sounds like a physics problem. No, this is the real life hazard of driving a car. Car makers though, are prepared to fight back with the relative safety of new improvements. Today, cars are moving closer and closer to lighter materials and safety. Seat belts are a key safety feature in which laws are based around and lives are saved. Airbags which deploy from the driver’s danger zones, keep them safe and free of bottle harm. Voice systems feel your car get in an accident and report all important info to a safety network. It beats the hazard of Native American raids, and threats on your life by gunpoint.

Mustangs, Corvettes, Porsche, what do they all have in common? They are all a different style of car which expresses one’s personality as well as status. Kids of today are always looking for the cool and desirable cars that will make them “the talk of the town.”  Grown men want to woo the ladies in the fancy foreign cars. Some cars give a reputation of being a “player” or “high roller” while others just show a hard working man down on their luck. Cars tend to impress on a person something they see in themselves. People go to shows where other owners of the same car can go and express their similarities in the cars the like. Just the ownership of a certain style of car offers a sense of acceptation in a persons mind.

The Automobile, not just an item, but a revolution taking place behind the scenes in labs and warehouses. Man will be able to soar to new heights expanding their environment and challenging the laws of nature. Trips will become an even less undertaking as one can drive and or fly to their destination. As fuel runs low, new energy will be created to make cars keep going into the future.  Cars may turn into the rocket ship of today causing humans to meet other beings and learn from them. One never really knows how far one invention may take us.
