"Death of a Salesman" Quote and Question

"Willy: Bigger than Uncle Charley! Because Charley is not -- liked. He's liked, but he's not -- well liked"(18).

Why does Willy believe that being "well liked" is directly linked to success in business?

New Year Reflection Walk

     During my reflect walk I had the chance to analyse my life in the quiet of my neighborhood. It was an opportune moment to ponder on past decisions and potential experiences that this next year will bring.2015 was all in all a fantastic year. Playing at state for softball, going to Europe, and deciding on a college are all pretty memorable events in my life that occurred this past year.

     The end of junior year and the beginning of senior year was a period of time that I think I underwent quite a bit of change. I feel like my priorities changed quite a bit, and if I may say I matured a lot. It's still a daily effort to keep myself in line. Sometimes I can be a bit of a loose cannon, hopefully that settles over time. 

     

      When I look at our little truck I see tradition because it used to be my great uncles and both of my siblings drove it around when they learned to drive. But I also see danger, because driving a stick shift is too much for my taste.

      Children. To my ears this translates as nieces and nephews, whom I hope to have as soon as possible. I find the idea of a growing family very exciting. I've always wanted a big ethnic family but that was not in the cards for me it seems.

Walking into this next year, which will bring more softball, my last summer before college, and then college is a little bit of a scary thought, but we'll see how it goes.

These were live photos so they looked better on my phone. idk.
