Anticipating Our New Book

2. If you are in a position of power, you are happy.
6. Sometimes you have to do things other people consider wrong to get ahead.

     The first statement above is something that I disagree with. Just because someone has power does not mean that they are always going to be happy. Someone could have a lot of authority, but this does not make them incapable of feeling sad or angry. Being in a position of power can cause a lot of stress. It is not easy to rule over a bunch of stuff. And even if someone is not stressed with the job, sad things will happen. 
     The second statement above is something that I somewhat agree on though. To get ahead of others you have to take risks. Sometimes these things mean doing what others might not agree on. I am not saying to go kill someone or rob a bank to get ahead of others. I'm saying that sometimes risks have to be taken. To get ahead of people you have to do something different to make yourself unique. Every once in a while this involves doing something other people might not like.

  1. I also disagree that if someone has power, that does not mean that they are happy. Someone could become power hungry if they get into this position, and that drive could mess up their daily life. Great post!

  2. I would definitely agree with your decision on both of these statements. I think that for most of the possible statements moderation is key. The black on white writing looks kind of cool.
