The Most Important Verses From The Bible
Which parts of the Bible do you think are the most important? (add them in comments)
The 12 Steps of Recovery
A Twelve-step program is a set of guiding principles for recovery from addictive, compulsive, or other behavioral problems, originally developed by the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous ("A.A.") to guide recovery from alcoholism. The "twelve steps" were first published in the 1st edition of Alcoholics Anonymous ("The Big Book") in 1939; more than 25 million copies have been printed in many languages. This method has been adapted as the foundation of other twelve-step programs such as Narcotics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, Marijuana Anonymous, Crystal Meth Anonymous, Co-Dependents Anonymous and Emotions Anonymous. Mandated court involvement with 12-step fellowships is a controversial practice of some governments; as stated in the Twelve Traditions, Twelve-step fellowships have no opinion as a group on issues other than personal recovery. As summarized by the American Psychological Association, working the Twelve Steps involves the following:

ListAfterList.com – Room for Error? Or Room for Air?
Greetings Listers!
Let’s play the word association game! No. 2 pencils… book bags… lunchbox… recess… pop quiz. Yep, it is that time of the year again. The first day of school has crept up on summer like a bully from the back of the bus. And whether you are jumping on your first yellow bus, attending a new school, or driving to night classes after work, the first day of class can always be a little unnerving. Do you have enough pens? Pencils? Paper? Did you buy the right books? What are you going to wear? Is your teacher going to be cool? Who will you sit next to? But don’t worry, because there are always those cute icebreaker games - that tend to make you more uncomfortable instead of less.
“Hi, my name is Ryan. I am from
The crazy thing is – once you are done, you start to miss those annoying little things. All those people were right; school days are honestly the best days of your life. Back then, there was plenty of room for error – now, there is barely room for air. Grade school, childhood, high school and even college is a breeze compared to being an adult. But with the responsibilities of being a working adult, come the freedoms and adventures of life. So whether you are lugging your backpack or shoulder-saddling your briefcase out the door in the morning, remember this: “The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.” So, what do you see in that glass?

Athletic Geniuses and Intelligent Sportspeople?
American teenagers no longer consider college an educational experience. Intelligence is not something for which many people strive. Alcohol, sex, parties, and freedoms never had before are on eighteen year olds’ minds these days – not calculus, books, libraries, and studying. As we start the 21st century, people are learning the value of money at an early age. Money is the root of all evil and the sin of being greedy are not principal values as they were decades ago. Young kids even have a strong desire to have money. With the media as influential as it is, children learn that apart from winning the lottery, an easy way to get rich quick is to excel in the entertainment industry, especially athletics. Our society must start to stress the importance of getting an education for the sake of being educated. Students must learn in high school that a college degree is much more important than pursuing dreams of a professional athletic career.
Intelligence and genius has been undermined by popularity. All people want is to be accepted, and the easiest way is to be well-known. Being accepted by peers is the first step to becoming popular. Peer pressures form from this. For one to stay in their room and study is not an action greatly admired by peers. Being social, partying, drinking, and unfortunately even sometimes taking drugs, are more socially acceptable and more widely preferred. For decades now the words “dork”, ”geek”, ”dweeb”, and “nerd” have been used in name-calling to cruelly describe a person who does stay home, does study, and does enjoy reading for entertainment.
Ethically, education versus athletics is an issue. Most people see athletes as celebrities. Celebrities are obviously popular people. A well educated man rarely becomes a celebrity in the eyes of the people, at least not in American societies. If you ask a kid under the age of twelve who he wants to be when he grows up, he will most likely say some celebrity (Michael Jordan, Superman, etc.). Children spend on average 900 hours a year in school and somewhere between 1,200 and 1,800 hours a year watching television (Barber 206). This constant access to the media is a source for the train of thought people have now-a-days. If books and reading were accentuated more through high school, teens would not watch so much TV, and would learn themselves the importance of intelligence and education. Children would grow up aspiring to be smart, and possibly not so much to be popular.
LeBron James is a prime example of a kid who has been twisted by the ways of the media and money. LeBron James is an eighteen year old Catholic school student that lives in
Reverend Edward A. Mallory once said, “A college degree is not a sign that one is a finished product but an indication a person is prepared for life.” If the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA), the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and professional sports leagues (like the NBA) all worked together and came up with a way to make kids go to college, get good grades, and then after that they could pursue or possibly even be guaranteed a spot where the were headed out of high school, our society would be headed in the right way. James and Garnett would have then been forced to act more as role models and set a positive example to other young people by finishing their education. If kids were persuaded to earn a college degree, not to make the jump from high school to the professional leagues, they would be much more prepared for life. They would understand how most people go through life, and realize the gift they were given. They could also do something with their lives following their professional sports careers. If by chance their careers in athletics did go extremely well, and they spent the remainder of their lives in the sports industry, then they would be educated for the sake of being educated, which is nothing but a plus.
Today, money does apparently bring happiness though. People find themselves indulged in game shows and lotteries. Everyone just wants an easy buck. Popularity and celebritism bring in money, as our consumer culture teaches. The professional sports industry has grown immensely in the past century. Although it does appear to be easy money, things are not always as they appear. It is extremely hard to become a professional athlete. Even so, there are only about 18,000 professional athletes in the
“The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth that it prevents you from achieving.” Russell Green was exactly right. Education can leave one with a feeling of accomplishment, and fill holes in one’s life where there is a lack of money, with other, less material pleasures. One’s self esteem can sky rocket with a feeling of being an educated person. Intelligent conversations had with people can also leave a person with a feeling of accomplishment. Earning an education for the sake of education has many positive effects.
Money can be found following an edification as well. Doctors, lawyers, architects and C.E.O.’s could be considered the cream of the crop when it comes to education and aptitude in our nation. They attend school for a minimum of six years before they can earn their degree, and then usually have to intern for a few more years before they can start their career in their respective occupations. Their prolonged schooling for the sake of becoming educated can lead to life of affluence. An architect who has his or her professional degree can expect to make on the upwards of a $46,000 salary right out of school. If you spend the college hours to become a lawyer the average salary out of school is around $50,000 with a top name firm. A medical doctor can expect somewhere around $120,000 as soon as they begin to practice. If someone were to work their way up the hierarchal ladder to a C.E.O. position of a business, he or she would most likely be earning around $400,000 for their work (“U.S. Dept. Labor”). All of these people have the pride of being an educated soul and working for their money. They were not handed an opportunity to entertain the world with their God-given talents. If students had the frame of mind that they can make a good living for themselves, a living that would last far longer than that of an athletic career (which on average lasts 4 years, depending on the sport), they would strive to become intelligent, not so much athletic.
Plato profoundly stated, “The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.” If a man does not even start with an education, then where does his future lead? Schooling is such an important part of one’s life. Most Americans do make it through high school, and many even attempt to earn their college degree. It all is headed in the right direction at the moment, but it still needs more improvement. With more significance placed on education, especially for the sake of becoming an educated person, athletics and the entertainment business will continue to thrive, but our nation may find itself with geniuses like Plato as celebrities once again.
