                    The six pillars of character are the perfect way for someone to live a happy and well life. In my opinion everyone should remember these six pillars and live by them. The six pillars are meant to bring people together whenever the chance is giving. Not only when people need the help but whenever it might just come to mind. It can be as simple as giving a flower to your mother or an old lady in the street to brighten up their day. We want a better world for ourselves and other to live in so why not start. People with god character are what make the world a better place.

                                      Good Values

     "The most important thing you will ever have is good values."

                                                    Dennis Prager

                   

                                      

                                           What's one main thing people look for in a person? Well many people might say money or their way of being. But if a person has a lot of money does that make them to be a better person? Not exactly. The most important thing you will ever have is good values. That's the only thing that will actually pay off to have. If you have money but don't have good values whats the point? You always have to know what you are worth and what others around you are worth. Never think of people as less then you or more then you. That's why always have good values because with that people will respect you way more and care for you. People who have good values always make it out in the world and become big people in life.

Salary:$33,770-$54,490

Education:High school diploma or equivalent

Reflection: Even though I use glasses and have been using them since I was six years old. I wouldn't like to work in the field of eyes. It never interested me to look in a eye and find it fascinating. It seems like hard work and does not pay so well. Therefor being a Optician is not a choice of main.  

          Nursing Home Administrator 


               

Duties and Responsibility: The nursing home administrator is a leader in the organization who not only directs its operations but in a large part is responsible for setting the tone of the culture. Now more than ever, true leaders are needed in this area of healthcare. The Nursing Home Administrator Program is governed by the Health and Safety Code Sections 1416 through 1416.84 and must assure that the health, safety, security, and rights of the Skilled Nursing Facility and Intermediate Care Facility residents are safeguarded by setting standards for licensing of Nursing Home Administrator, administering a training program , testing and issuing licenses, and administering an enforcement program for disciplinary action against.

Salary: $70,000-$100,000 

Education:Most nursing home administrators are required to have a bachelor’s or master’s degree from an accredited college or university. An associate degree combined with substantial experience may be accepted by smaller facilities.All 50 states require a nursing home administrator license. Only the Board of Examiners can grant license. Requirements vary from state to state. In Minnesota, for example, candidates must have a minimum of a baccalaureate degree with required courses, a practicum and specific scores on both the state and national exams.

Reflection:  A person who works in a nursing home seems to have a very good job. I would like to work their because many people who are old need help and someone to care for them. This might be a way to give back to those elders who have ever provided for us.

      " When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive."

                                           Alan Paton

   You always have to  forgive and forget. That's the only way that you will ever be able to survive with yourself. Many people hold grudges for a very long time and that only can cause people to get ill physically and mentally. That's why you have to move on from the pain you have and let it go. Things might be hard at the moment but you'll see that eventually everything will fall back to place. You have to be ok with you body, mind and soul in order to feel happy and if any of those three don't seem to come together things won't get better.

                                      " Dare you to stand alone."

                                               

                                                              Thomas S. Monson

                         You will always be surrounded by bad things or bad people. However, it's up to you if you want to follow the crowd or stand on your own. This is why Thomas S. Monson wrote this quote for people to never follow the crowd but to follow what's right. In life you will be surrounded by people who do drugs, steal, lie and cheat. Since there will be people like that in the world it's up to you to stand on your own and say I won't be like that; just because everyone else is doing it doesn't mean that it's the right thing to do it means that people need help in realizing what is the right choice. Thomas S. Monson is right; you should stand alone and do the right thing at all times. 

                                                  Dubai



                       Dubai is the most populous city and emirate in the United Arab Emirates, and the second largest emirate by territorial size after the capital, Abu Dhabi.

Dubai is located on the southeast coast of the Persian Gulf and is one of the seven emirates that make up the country. Abu Dhabi and Dubai are the only two emirates to have veto power over critical matters of national importance in the country's legislature.  The city of Dubai is located on the emirate's northern coastline and heads up the Dubai-Sharjah-Ajman metropolitan area. Dubai is to host World Expo 2020.

Dubai has emerged as a global city and business hub of the Middle East and South Asia. It is also a major transport hub for passengers and cargo. By the 1960s Dubai's economy was based on revenues from trade and, to a smaller extent, oil exploration concessions, but oil was not discovered until 1966. Oil revenue first started to flow in 1969. Dubai's oil revenue helped accelerate the early development of the city, but its reserves are limited and production levels are low: today, less than 5% of the emirate's revenue comes from oil. The emirate's Western-style model of business drives its economy with the main revenues now coming from tourism, aviation, real estate, and financial services. Dubai has recently attracted world attention through many innovative large construction projects and sports events. The city has become symbolic for its skyscrapers and high-rise buildings, in particular the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Dubai has been criticised for human rights violations concerning the city's largely South Asian. One day I want to be able to travel to Dubai it's such an incredible place to visit. Besides being one of the richest cities it's also very modern.
