About Me!

  A conflict I had with a friend recently: The present value of education (degrees). He was trying to convince me that since everyone has a degree, it is becoming less important. However, I made a counter argument by pointing out how rare degrees were in the past and that the increased access to education is not devaluing degrees. My perspective: Even if everyone has access to education and obtain degrees, does not mean the value decreases or they (the degrees) become less significant.

Our beliefs intertwined where we both share the view that we all can and should have the urge to love unconditionally, and our most valuable asset is ourselves, but only if the person or people prove to appreciate you. My beliefs Their (alternate) beliefs I think every individual volunteers in response to our own values and beliefs; we have a choice. Volunteering should; everyone should do it. The five main important aspects of my life:    - genuine happiness    -success    -pos...
