Today was a very fun day of human geography! We read a piece by Elbert Hubbard where he talked about “A message to Garcia.” Basically he talked about how lazy people are nowadays (this was written in the late1800’s) compared to the olden days. People used to strive for greatness and work hard to do the best they can in jobs and school and now people are lazy and do the bare minimum work. The only inspiration there is for a job is not getting fired. I completely agree with his entry and understand what he is trying to say. We need more people who will not just do the work or tell someone else to do the work but to do more than necessary and even be an over achiever. After the discussion of Hubbard’s piece Mr. Schick gave donuts to the people who were answering questions. I ended up answering a question and chose a chocolate donut! Eventually Mr. Schick gave everyone a donut and we ended the class with a discussion of the honor pledge and of how wrong plagiarizing is and the consequences of it. I am already looking forward to class tomorrow.
