What benefits would I get from writing an autobiography? Well for one if I wrote an autobiography it would tell my descendants all about me. They would know how life was in my day and how people lived their lives now. It would say their family history and about their family. Then they would know how they were to live their lives and important stuff like that. If I become somebody famous when I grow up I would write it in my autobiography so that they know that they can do amazing stuff too. They would probably love it if they new how their old and dead relative’s lived their lives. I never know what I will do as I get older so that means I could write anything in my autobiography as much from having a normal job to being one of the richest people on earth. My descendants could do anything they want, but if I write an autobiography It would probably help them to make the right choices.

Another way is an introspection. An introspection would provide me with an opportunity to take time and see goals that I have not done yet or goals that I have not even set yet so that I can accomplish my goals or set them and then accomplish those goals. Although this does not fix it. All it does is making an opportunity for me to see goals that I can accomplish or make then accomplish goals so that I don’t become a lazy person. DO NOT BECOME A LAZY PERSON. THIS IS A STRICT WARNING. Lazy people usually become poor and get nowhere in life. that’s why it is important to pay attention in school. So do not become a lazy person but instead do introspection. Take time to accomplish goals that you may have not already in your life. These two ideas are very good ideas if you want to write an autobiography and they are also good benefits for writing an autobiography.

There are a few lifestyles that I want in twenty years. First of all I want a loving wife and at least three children that all love God. I want my wife to be beautiful and a great cook. I want my children to be obedient and choose good friends. I also want a house that can fit everything I own and maybe have extra room in it for guests. I want it to be close enough to my family so that I can visit them often and I also want it to be close enough to the place I work so that I can be there on time.

I want to be a movie director when I grow up but there are many jobs in the world so whatever God wants me to do for a job I will not argue with his plans. There’s no point to. He always wins. If I can have the job that I want though I’ll be very glad. And if I have to go away to be a missionary I will gladly do so even if it means leaving my family.

To finish up I want to go to church every Sunday and read my Bible once a day and maybe more. I will also do devotions with my family every night.

What can you do now to make your biography less disjointed than Twain’s? Mark Twain wasn’t his real name. It was actually Samuel Langhorne Clemens. He was born on November 30, 1835 And he died on April 21, 1910 because of a heart attack he had. He was “an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer.” A man named William Faulkner called him “the father of American literature”. He even wrote the two famous books “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and “The adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” My dad just loves those two books.

In the past week I have read part of Mark Twain’s autobiography and it is very disjointed. That means that it is not put together well like everything’s mixed up and going back and forth a lot. There is a movie that I watched a few times called holes and it is a good movie just very disjointed. To know what timeline it is you have to watch the movie a few times. If I ever write my own autobiography which I might I would look back in my past or journal it so it would not be disjointed. If anyone were to wright an autobiography they should find dates in their past and use them. I don’t really care about when people tell their birth to their death so if I wright an autobiography I would put in some funny and good memories about my life. I would start with a little about myself like my birth date and my death date (I would probably hire someone to write when I died). I would do my best throughout the book to keep it all from getting disjointed and to be honest the whole time because some autobiography’s are dishonest sometimes in the book. And that is how I would like my autobiography to be written if I ever write one.

The ideal apprenticeship job, and why. Right now since I am a kid the job I want right now is a egg-laying chicken business. My dad owns some land so I can raise some chickens and sell them for four dollars a dozen. I want an egg-laying chicken business because I am good with animals and I love chickens. I have done this in the past and I am good with it so I just need to raise some more chickens and if they are good egg layers I can get some more money. But I don’t want this job because of the money. I want to have this job because I like taking care of animals. I can also buy some meat chickens or more egg-layers and that will help me get more money and have more chickens. Plus if the chickens stop laying eggs they are really tasty.

I can also get some meat chickens. They are easy for me to do because all I have to do is feed them and water them and when they are fat enough butcher them. I can sell them for a bit and save some for myself to eat. chickens are an easy business as long as you know how to do them.

Why do I think Plunkitt was so open about how he made his money? First I will tell you a few things about Plunkitt. His full name was really George W. Plunkitt. He was a millionaire and a million dollars in their time would be about a few trillion dollars in our time, but that is just a guess. He was born on November 17, 1842. He was a politician and very powerful in his time. He served in “both houses of the New York State Legislature” and was “a vehement critic of the Civil Service”. He was in charge of Tammany Hall until his death in November 19, 1924 which was strangely two days after his birthday.

I think that he was a very strange and smart person. No matter if he was in or out of office he would find jobs for people and that was how he got people to be and remain faithful in him. This is how he got all of his power many years ago. This is why I think that he was smart and kind of weird but it worked out for him. He probably thought of finding jobs for people by being kind to them. He must have been really kind to look for people and talk to them himself. He knew that Patriotism was supporting the people of the state so he used that. Patriotism is supporting ones country and he thought that the country wasn’t the land or the government but the people. He got more loyalty than most people do even when he just met them. He was probably very smart to do things like this.

Now to answer the real question of this paper that you have all been waiting for: Why do I think Plunkitt was so open about how he made his money? This answer is simple. He cared about other people. He gave them all his secrets of how to be successful just because he cared about them. As I said before he cares about people enough to find jobs for them. If he did not care about other people and just let them get poor. what kind of person would he be then? People would not vote for him and then he would become poor. He must have been very smart and kind throughout his life to be as powerful and trusted as he was. If you haven’t yet I think it would be very wise to read his autobiography.

The chapter I want to implement in my life is if you are wrong admit it quickly. That’s hard for a lot of people because of selfishness so that is why I want to implement it to my life. If I can admit when I’m wrong people will trust me more. That means it will be easier for me to get a job. To implement it to my life I will have to practice telling the truth and being humble. If I am trying to sell a product I can tell the truth and probably sell more things or not but it’s good either way.

If I don’t tell the truth about products people will buy them but when they find out I was lying they would not trust me. That is why this is very important to learn. Do your best to tell the truth and then you’ll get better and better until you can do it perfectly. If I do this I will become better at many things that is why I must tell the truth.

What would be the most difficult technique in “How to Win Friends and Influence People”? to follow? And why? Well I have been given many choices of techniques, but I think the most difficult one would be two things. If you are wrong admit it quickly and make a friend out the the person your trying to do stuff with. There are not many choices because they are mostly easy, but these two are the hardest in my opinion.

I know that everyone was wrong some point in their lives and they still are but admitting that your is hard for many people because their prideful. Let’s say that your trying to sell somebody an idem. You tell them how great it is and you lie about some stuff. There are two outcomes. One you can keep lying so they will buy it and they might sue you or the other option is that you can tell them you were lying and say the true stuff about it. Then you might still get he or she to buy it.

It’s easier to sell someone something when they can trust you. You could be kind of shy and try to sell or you could make friends with people and sell them it when they trust you. Would it be easier to sell an idem to a stranger or your best friend. I’m not trying to discourage people just tell them easier ways if they are trying to sell something.

How serious was Plunkitt about patriotism’s connection to obtaining a job after Tammany won an election? First of all Plunkitt’s full name was George W. Plunkitt. He was born on November 17,1842. He was a politician from New York and he also served in “both houses of the New York State Legislature” Take a guess of what Tammany was. NOT A REAL PERSON!!! It was called Tammany Hall or also known as “The Society of St. Tammany, the Sons of St. Tammany, or the Columbian Order, was a New York City political organization founded in 1786 and incorporated on May 12, 1789, as the Tammany Society”. Plunkitt was in charge of Tammany Hall until he died on  November 19, 1924 which is surprisingly two days after his birthday.

Plunkitt was a very powerful man and here is why. No matter where he was in or out of office he tried to help people find jobs. Because he did this people stayed loyal to him and kept voting for him. That is how he got all of his power back then. He was a millionaire and one million dollars back then would be around $33,190,714.29 today! That is a lot of money. He got this money from gaining trust with other people Someone that could find jobs for everyone back then must have been In my opinion finding jobs for people would have been weird but an efficient way of getting trust from people.

Patriotism is supporting one’s country, but the country is not the land or the government it is really the people. Plunkitt though that supporting the people and helping them with stuff like finding jobs was the perfect way to help people no matter in or out of office. If he had an open spot to give someone he would find the perfect person and would find the perfect person for the job and give it to them. He was very creative to finding people jobs and people liked him for it.

To answer the beginning question about was he serious about people getting jobs the answer is yes. Yes he was very serious to finding jobs for people so they would vote for them and because he wanted people to have money for their families.

Well first of all you can’t have a long-term business relationship relationship without trust so trust is important even without business. If I had an employee I would keep my eye on him and get to know him before I could fully trust him. I’ve known all my friends most of my life, but if got an employee I wouldn’t know him that well. If I had an employer I would want him to trust me so I would be helpful and kind and trustworthy. You can only trust people if their trustworthy so first you need to earn their trust. I had to earn my friends trust and it’s the same with employers and employees.

Everywhere I am learning about trust and that is because trust is important. I wouldn’t just pick somebody off the street in my neighborhood, I would half to see them a few times before I stopped by and asked where they lived and drive them there. Trust is important everywhere.

First Booker T. Washington was a black man born into slavery. He made enough money to go to school for a little bit and after school he made his own school. He got a lot of money and soon he became rich and famous. Through all this work he made his point of view which is if African Americans make something that people need or if people can not live without something they make, that person should be treated fairly and be a part of society. In Booker T. Washington’s book “Up From Slavery” he quoted “The individual who can do something that the world wants done will, in the end, make his way regardless of his race” He also wanted all African American’s to be free from slavery and to be treated fairly in what they do.

The answer to the title of this paper is yes. I do agree that black people should be treated fairly in what they do and if they make something it shouldn’t be rejected it should be used. If I lived back then when slavery was happening and I was in charge of slavery I would release every slave and make them all free men. I’m sure that Booker T. Washington would agree with what I am writing down. I believe that his view of the future and my view of the future are the same, but all this does not mean that people not African American should be treated unfairly. I hope that all of you people who reads this paper can agree with me.
