6 word Story "Uh, sir..... We're out of bullets" Note: I've seen many war movies and a lot of other gun movies and I just pictured a scene of a soldier having to explain to his commander that they are out of bullets "The man fled into a dark and narrow alley. He was prolonging the fate he knew he had already met." Note: This short story I wrote came to mind when I was thinking about a man who had done wrong and cheated many people out of there money. He was being chased by someone trying to get back at him and he was prolonging the fate he knew he had already met. Soldier

F-Fresh I-Ideas S-Start H-Here I didn't really know how to start an acronym so I just looked around and saw a picture of a fish and went on from there

I think DDG is a very cool idea especially for someone who hates the internet tracking you. With DDg it doesn't have them tracking you and selling you things based off what you look up.

My childhood bedroom looked like a kid's bedroom was mixed in with a 1980's western movie. When you walk in the first thing you see is my big cow rug. I don't know why I had a big cow rug because it's not like I had a ranch or that I lived out on a farm but I had one. The next thing you would see was my bunk beds pushed up against the wall. The sheets were navy blue and the bed frame was wood that was shaped like a tree. If you looked upon the ceiling I had those super cheesy glow up stars that would light up at night. The last important thing I had was a small tv placed in the corner. The tv had no function except to play games on my GameCube which I would play pretty much everyday.

I decided to read "Nachiketa a collection of stories from the Upanishads". The first story is about a boy named Nachiketa who is occupied with a bunch of spiritual questions. One day when the boy's pet deer dies he wonders if there is life after death. His dad gets furious at him and sends him down to the god of death Yama. Down there Yama grants the boy three wishes. The boy's three wishes were to make his father happier, for him to be rode of hunger and thirst and for Yama to answer the question if there is life after death. After the boy gets his wishes he is sent back home. Another story is about a different young boy named Satyakama who goes and studies Gautama. Gautama sends him on a journey with cows and one of the bulls tells Satyakama where Brahma is. Bibliography:  Nachiketa: A Collection Of Stories From The Upanishads  (Volume 702). Yama

The Story starts at the very end of the normal Ramayan story. Rama exiles his wife Sita when she is pregnant because Rama believed that he should have no happiness and all happiness should be for his people. So Sita goes and takes refuge at some person's house where she has two twin boys. The person tells the twins all the story's about Rama but leaves out that Rama is their father. One day when Rama was to perform a horse ritual the horse ran away and the twins caught it. Rama sends multiple people to go get the horse back but every time they get defeated. Rama finds out that the twins are his sons and faints and also asks Sita to come back but she refuses and goes to live with her mother Twins Bibliography:  The Sons of Rama: Luv and Kush — The Invincible Twins  (Volume 503).

One thing about this class that I need to fix is my time management. I need to not wait until Sunday night to finish all my assignments for this class because I have a lot of other work to do on Sundays. For example, I had to study for a test last night and wasn't able to finish one of my assignments because of it.

The thing about browser typing is that it's super quick and easy to navigate back to webpages. Instead of having to go back and re-copy or re-type something into google I can just find the website I need back in my bookmarks.

Why do so many managers avoid giving praise In the article, they talk about how managers feel like a difficult part of their job is giving praise to their employees. They took a survey with managers and 44% of them to agree that they struggle with giving their employees praise. Another survey was conducted in which 21% of managers avoid giving their employees negative feedback but even more people 37% avoided giving positive feedback.

The one topic I enjoyed the most was the story about the Crocodile and the monkey. I enjoyed this topic the most because I believe it's the most similar to an American children's story and it reminds me of stories I used to read. Another version of the story is that there was a mother crocodile who told her son to fetch a monkey heart for her instead of telling her lover. The son then swims to shore and tells the monkey about an Island with fresh mangos and that he would take the monkey there on his back. The other version had the male crocodile sit on a rock and wait for the monkey to step on the rock. The other version the monkey hops on the crocodiles back and then when they are in the middle of the river the crocodile tells him he's going to rip out his heart. The monkey tells the crocodile he left his heart back onshore and that they need to go get it. When they get to shore the monkey runs away leaving the crocodile son weeping.
