Failure for Free


This was a very relevant post in my eyes. Being raised I was always taught that failure is ok, that you will get up and get them next time. It was a good thing to put into our heads because I grew up in a town where everyone was afraid to fail. My high school was very prestigious and kids would let there parents pressure them into doing everything they could to achieve which is awesome! But sometimes they took it to far and students in my class would be upset because the A minus they got is gonna cost them when they get home. It was such a sad thing because I love failure, it has gotten me to where I am today. Trust me I have had my fair share of failures but I wouldn't take any of them back. I used to regret a decision I made in high school but being older now I've realized I will never regret anything again. Any failure I've endured I've always learned from my mistake and changed. When I fail I get right back up and I go at whatever it is twice as hard as before, if it happens again you keep getting up. In this tech era we need to not be afraid to failure because then we wont progress anywhere. No one and nothing is perfect, we all have room for improvement.

Sampling in Hip Hop Music

This article was a fun read because it was different then what we have been learning about before. I am very familiar with this topic because I love my music and rap music in particular. This is a very common thing that is often a sticky situation because it's so common that sometimes it can just go under the radar, other times people charge for money. For example, Kanye wests iconic the Life of Pablo album has over 20 samples from other songs and even though he got permission for all of them, some people thought that he was abusing this power. I for one think that this is always how rap music has been. Rap music is supposed to convey a message and sometimes you need to use the beginning or end of a speech or song to get that across to other people. This has been a trend for a while so I understand when it gets legal but in my opinion it should just be fair game because rap music has a really cool way of expressing really relevant issues.

The Empathy Deficit

Empathy is something that I have always valued because people often say that it is one of my best traits. I really enjoyed this article because it expresses the importance of empathy not just in people but how it affects almost every thing in our daily life. Finding out that college students today are 40 percent less empathetic was no surprise to me. Ive experienced a lot of different places with a lot of different people in my life, I have learned the importance of empathy in a person and their relationships. Thinking about a world without empathy is just weird, almost every single thing we do is because of empathy even if its just a little. I believe in order for us to be good people we need to be empathetic to one another and help each other out to the best of our ability. With no empathy, the ‘every man for himself’ idea would come into play and it would be a disgusting world. Im not saying we live in a place of roses and daisies because that would be a lie. We have a lot...
