ELP
Why the Rich get Richer

This article mainly discusses why lazy people don’t get rich. Robert Kiyasaki the columnist wrote about why some people don’t get rich. He assess that those who are rich are so because they had an ambition and drive. For that, they went after what they wanted and got it. People these days want to be rich but, don’t put in any effort. They become angry when someone tells them they aren’t doing what they should be.

One of the principles involved in this article is principle #1: People Face Tradeoffs. “There is no such thing as a free lunch” but apparently some people think there is. They want to be rich but don’t out forth the effort. They don’t realize that in order to get something they have to give up something. In this case give up laziness and you might actually get somewhere. Another principle that relates to this article is principle #3: Rational People Think at the Margin. In order to get rich or get some more money you have to make marginal changes. First start with incremental adjustments and go on from there. If the lazy people get off their butt and started looking for better paying jobs or worked a little harder they might have more money.

I agree that some people aren’t rich because they are lazy. If people did more work and put more effort they wouldn’t be stuck in a certain position. This relates to class because it deals with opportunity cost: an item is what you give up to get it. I believe those lazy people will stay lazy and broke unless they get up and start making changes, soon.

   Been awhile
Not much really happening. My school is going on It's Academic, tomorrow. Wish us luck.
Oh, I started reading Fullmetal Alchemist manga, I've been updated on latest Naruto, and I'm still checking to see if I can finish Fruit Basket.
I get report cards monday, not looking forward to that. I think I got a "C" in Ap Calc AB, and my mom told me not to get anymore C's, if I do I'm in big trouble. Well peaceout!

   SUP
Ok nothing happens basically, I threw surprise b-day party for 2 of my friends on friday (ransel & debbie). I found out that right now I got a D (64.4%) in calc, so basically I need to stop failing my quizzes. We took a quiz today, I think and hope I did okay on it I think I only got one out of 7 wrong, plus there were to bonus questions. My friend said if I manage to pass all the tests I should be fine, since the tests are higher tan quizzes and I got a 180/200 (90%) on the first test. We have another quiz friday. So I gotta start studying tomorrow (its on chps. 2.2, 2.3)=> derivatives. I also get interim 4 AP phys B opn thursday (ok I hope). Teachers not gunno be here friday. Funny since there are only 5 of us in class.

Well on a good note I've been reading Inuyasha magas I got from school library (all out of order). I've also been reading fruit basket, my new obsessio. Its so sad and funny and happy. but the school only has it up to vol. 5 so that sucks. I gotta read that one tomorrow. Peace out! and HAVE FUN!!!

My friends threw me a surprise birthday party in our school library. All my friends except one was there, she couldn't make it. And I got really awesome cards and presents. We had a lot of food left over I made everyone take some home. We had three cakes and I only ate a time bite. We had already had a pizza party in AP Physics B (our teacher let us have one since there's only 5 of us). I ate two slices and three breadsticks so I was full. AT the party I managed to eat 2 cookies and drink 3 cups of soda. I brought the fanta and a coke home, some cookies and a cake. My spanish teacher also gave me salsa and tortilla chips. I gotta give some salsa to my friend on monday. I gave her some tortilla chips it was alot.

   It's Been too long
Okay so my summer was fine until I got my stupid report card. For other people it my be an ok report card but for my mom its a failure and I disappointed her.
4th quarter Final exam Final
grade

English A A
History A B
Col Alg C E C
Trig C E C
Physics B E B
Ana&Phy A B A
Spanish 4 A A A

My first two classes were AP classes so didn't take the school final exam since I took the Ap one instead. Okay I admit I suck at final exams especially ones that deal with math and science, so I understand she's mad about that. But this time I actually studied for my math final exams. But the thing is our actual math books were taken from us so instead we had to use an Algebra book which only has a limited amount of information in it.Plus the day before we had the final exam he gave us an exam for fourth quarter so he didn't even give us a fricken review or try and help us with what to study. Plus the last day before the exam 30 minutes before it was time to to end class the guy tried to teach us a new subject on ellipses he said only a couple question about ellipses would be on their. We got the fricken test and half of it was about ellipses. Plus for trig for 4ht quarter I actually thought I would have a fricken B, but I guess I was wrong.

This whole year I had problems with my grade cuz of that math teacher. He came from another school, but they fired him there, and our stupid school was dumb enough to hire him. Because of him I have the only tow C's in my entire highschool year. And of course I can't complain cuz I didn't do wjhat I should have. I spent 3-4 hrs studying for both of those stupid math exams. Now physics the teacher said it would be easy, but of course she was way off on that when. Anyways so I can't complain but my mom who got a C in psychology can because she had a crappy psyches teacher. This year wiould have been better if I had a teacher who could teach and actually fricken cared about the students grade. During third quarter he said he'd to things different;y since way too much kids were failing and parents were getting pissed. So he seperated the class into what he called remedial (wouldn't be taking calc or stats next year) and advanced(would be taking those classes). The remedial would go at a slower pace, it helped for that one quarter, then we all found our selves failing again when 4th quarter came. So my mom is disappointed and she thinks if i'm in college I'll be failing all my classes since its mostly quizzes and tests. But if I had him in college that's exactly what I'd get since he teaches us exactly like a college class. And I'm not the only one who's got problems with him most students and teachers hate his guts. Needless to say I feel bad for the kids who'll have him next year. Oh ya, so my dad's in Nigeria so I still gotta tell him and still have to go through a lecture from him too. Its bad enough being disappointed inyourself but when parents say they're disappointed it just makes it worst.
Back to other news...
I got three books to read for summer reading. How the read lit like a professor, the things they carried and poisonwood bible. But that's not even what sucks, the english teacher we were suppose to have for nest year is teaching somewhere else cause she became a department chair at that school, and I've known her for three years now, and she's gone. So I don't know what to make of nexy year since she did yearbook, journalism, english and our prom. I'll be a senior next year, CRAP! SATS, applications and more brutal classes can't wait (not)! I still have 24 more hrs to complete for my service learning hrs and I got a dilemma wit my classes.

Should I take AP calc that's everyday or Ap stats only one day or both.

Should I take Advanced Chem which I prefer but isn't as high a class as AP Physics B.

Should I take spanish 5, which I think would be easy since that teacher doesn't like speaking spanish all the time like the ones I've had before.

SORRY ABOUT THE RANTING BUT I HAD ALOT TO GET OFF MY CHEST!

Well peace out, and have a nice summer, I'll try and do the same. Oh ya one more thing my family and I suppose to go to London this year but my sis broke her right arm at school plying and now my mom wants to cancel it and just wait for next year more bummer. Peaceout!
