Light a Match Under Your Dream

'' You have to Light a Match Under Your Dream'' she said. This was the line of the character Madam CJ Walker in Self-Made.

It resonated so much with me that I had to stop the episode. What does she mean and what is my dream?

There is more than one - sometimes too many to even be able to focus on one thoroughly.

I decided to look through the internet to find out how one can possibly define their dream.

I keep waking up each morning and find myself having a new dream for my life. Remnants of the past or the day before are still there. Yet new in-roads are created for me to move forward.

I came across this article ''22 secrets to discovering your dream and living it''

I really did like Guy Kawasaki’s idea of creating a mantra as opposed to a mission statement for oneself.

Other elements that appealed to me was to have one purpose and to ask ourselves what we would like to be remembered for when we die.

it did sparked a lot of thoughts and then everything became so much simpler.

Criticism of Utilitarianism - link

https://www.utilitarian.org/criticisms.html http://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/jcanders/ethics/outline_of_some_classic_criticis.htm Problem : Consider the following two cases: 1. Elderly Aunt Molly is ill. Nephew Tom visits her and helps her because he loves her. Nephew Bob visits her and helps her because he hopes to be rewarded in her will. Nephew Dave visits her and helps her not because he desires to help but because he believes it is his duty. (Modified Version of case by Bowie and Beauchamp, Ethical Theory in Business (Englewood Cliffs: Prentice-Hall, 1979) 16-17. 2. A two-year-old is drowning. Ruth flings caution aside because she desires to save the child and jumps in, but she cannot swim. Thus, she fails to save the child. Sue can swim, but is afraid that the child will pull her under. She does not save the child. The consequences were the same in each case, but the motives of the agents were different. According to utilitarianism, each person's action was of...

Is Corbyn a vegetarian?

She is asked a question. She needs to guess whether or not Jeremy Corbyn is a vegetarian. Instinctively she wants to say yes. Then, she realises two things. First, she is not certain that he is. Second, she recognises the person asking loves categorising people and have contempt for people who cares about the environment, people like her. Whatever answer she gives, he will find a way to belittle her and she does not want to feel hurt and acts out. She decided to say that she does not know for sure if he is and for that reason she is unable to give an answer. He could read that she was withholding her guess and went on to give a tirade as to how he came to the conclusion that Corbyn is a vegetarian and then told her that she should not be scared to express what she feels.
