Changing The World S2

This story is going to be about changing the world. This tale is centered around a man named Johnny Saltwater and his wife Margret Saltwater. Johnny and Margret both had no experiences in changing the world, but they decided it was time for a change.

They wanted to know how to make their opinion known, but at the same time they wanted to be respectful. This was the hard part for the two of them. They both really liked to be correct. They would try anything to prove their point even if they knew they were wrong. After about two years of studying how to change the world they went out and did it. They started locally and eventually moved up to nationally then finally worldly. They started questioning local laws and local taxes. They slowly but surely started to gain attention from the media and they began to get support from neighboring towns, and even states. Their names were becoming so known even the president heard about them. He put them in a speech saying that's how most Americans should be. This shocked the nation. No one would have expected the president to say that because they are going against what laws he passed, but everyone just assumed that some laws he had to sign and he had his hands tied. Throughout their time caning the world they started drifting apart. They didn't have feelings for each other anymore because they were both only focused on power and changing the world that they lost sight of who they both fell in love with. They never even noticed their feelings go away because they were so busy working. They rarely talked unless it was about upcoming meetings. Then one day Johnny looked at his wife and barely recognized her anymore. He sat down and thought about it. They talked about what they wanted to do. They decided to keep going on with the meetings and drifting apart. They were hoping to eventually find love in each other after changing the world. The moral of this story is that sometimes you have to put feelings behind you if you're doing the right thing.

The Man Who Never Said Yes Q1

Larry Hotwater was a profound business man who made a lot of money being a financial planner, but for him to be successful at this job he had to be a jerk most of the time. He never meant to do it, but he signed a contract never allowing him to say yes again. This made it a lot harder for him to make sales because he couldn’t say yes. He would have to find a way to make sales with no. He wouldn’t have signed the contract if he knew this was in the fine print, but he had to stick with it. He thought about quitting his job and moving to another company, but his pay increase was incredible. The only problem he had was commission. The commission he would make was a very large part of his income. He tried to have a few companies match his current pay and his commission percent, but no other place was even close. He had to make the hard decision of sticking with his current company and finding a way around the not being able to say yes rule. He wrote up questions for his clients to ask. Instead of them asking is this my best bet? He had them ask is there any other plan available for me? This is how he could say no and still make sales. It was a very clever plan he came up with, but most of the clients were confused why he refused to say yes. His answer was he didn’t want to break a contract he was involved that would make the company stronger. This made clients seem to understand it a little more, but then he thought of the best excuse ever. He started telling them that he had to make it fair for all the other financial planners to make a deal. All the clients liked this boldness and in the end his sales increased along with his income.

Flappy Bird R1

There was once a crazy man who was the inventor and designer of video games. This man decided to invent a game for mobile phones. They made this game for both major phones the Apple IPhones and Androids. This game was not a very hard game for him to create. He merely borrowed half of the idea from the old super Mario bros games. This man took a little city and put it in the background. He made the ground look like how Mario’s ground was, but most importantly he took the tubes from the game and based him game off of these. He wasn’t sure what to do with the game so he put it all together. I bet what happened was that he was rushed to completing his game, so he slapped it all together and got lucky and made the most popular game out for phones right now. If you don’t know what game I’m talking about it’s the famous game Flappy Bird. This game is terrible. I’ve deleted and downloaded the game a total of 4 times each. I would get angry at the game and delete it and then want to beat my high score so I would download the game and restart the process all over again. I currently still have the game. If you’re a person who gets angry this isn’t the game for you. It will get on your nerves and make you very angry. If you are someone who gets very angry you would most definitely not want to download this game. It will make you super mad super-fast. I don’t usually get mad at stuff, but this game really would get me going. It’s such an easy design that you would think it would be super easy to beat, but it’s actually impossible.
