The Importance of Defending Yourself
In the event of an attack or an assault, you can’t just let the attacker to win without giving him a good fight. Although it is a fact that some people just let themselves become victims rather than fighting back because they do not want to get hurt or die, this should not always be the case. Sticking with this fact is not the best thing for you to do because this can give the criminals and attackers to always make you are their victim. You have to know or learn how to defend yourself and you can perhaps use a stun gun for additional help.

Dear Time Machine
If I could go five years back in time, I’d kick myself into starting college sooner. Then I’d beat my brother until he agreed to do the same. Whoever said you can get by just fine without higher education wasn’t paying their own bills. Then, I’d start putting money away for that hospital bill I had last year. Not a lot, just a little here and there. A little at a time adds up to a whole lot when you’re counting the zeros in the Emergency Room lobby.
Lastly, I’d kiss my grandmother more, and tell her how much I always loved her. You never really realize how much you want to hold someone until you can’t touch them anymore. Basically, if I could change the past, I’d be smarter about my future. I’d cherish those I no longer have with me, and I’d build a stronger foundation for the me that would some day exist. If I could go back in time, I’d also memorize the lotto numbers in advance.

Easy to Conceal Mini Stun Gun
Using a mini stun gun for self defense and protection is certainly a good idea. Aside from the evident fact that the device is an effective way to ward off an attacker, it is also easy to carry and conceal. From the name itself, it is a small device that usually has a rectangular shape and black color. But of course, you will be able to find those that have different shapes, colors and some added features. You can even find a cell phone that is also a stun gun. This means that anywhere you go, you can bring the device with you just to be prepared if something bad happens.

Success as an Inspiration
I am primarily inspired by my own desire to succeed. I look at each day as an opportunity for me to be the best person I can be in all facets of life and try to live as such. Sometimes small failures in this regard as just as important as major successes as it pushes me to strive to do better and maintains that innate
desire to press forward with life to show what kind of person I can be. Another thing that inspires me is all of the loved ones I am surrounded by. Their importance to me also pushes me to do my best to make them proud and also to ensure they are provided for always.

Automobiles as Entertainment as Well a Necessity
My favorite invention would have to be the automobile. Not only am I fascinated by its inner workings and how it can take a very simple idea and turn it into a complex machine, but I also enjoy looking at the various types and styles.
Automobiles are extremely useful in day to day activities for their obvious convenience, but I also genuinely enjoy the freedom that they provide.. It is a stress reliever for me to be able to just hop in the car and drive around and I really look forward to long drives. Although there have been many inventions that have greatly impacted society and culture, I have a hard time imagining the world today without automobiles in some shape or fashion.

How to Be Rich
I have nothing against the life I am living now. I mean I am perfectly happy with my family even though we are not super rich but out of curiosity I always wonder how it feels like to be super rich like the socialites and billionaires we see on TV or read in magazines. It must be cool to have personal security guards, cook, hairstylist, and personal assistant. However, when you think about it, they also have not much privacy because when you are rich, the public’s eyes are on you always. So with that, I am just contented with the life I have now.

With The Things I Know Now
The last five years of my life have been a whirlwind. I have gotten married, I have purchased a house. I have graduated from college with a second degree; I have gotten a job at a reputable company that is as stable a job as I think you can find in this economy. I could change a lot, but I would change almost nothing. I see where my life is headed and I love it. I think I’m on track for a fantastic two thirds of life that I have left. Could I make things easier if I had taken a job that might have a better future? Maybe. Could I have built a house with a little more flair after discovering that it would only affect my mortgage by about a buck? Sure. But it wouldn’t lead me to where I am today, and I like where I am today.

Girl Has The Tools
My cousin has always been the intelligent one in the family. She’s been in the honor roll ever since she was in 1st grade but what I didn’t know is that she’s also pro in terms of self defense too. Last week, we went out for some girls’ night out. I invited her to join me and my other friends and she agreed. When we were in the car on our way home, I asked if she has candy and she looked for some inside her bag and there I saw that she brought mace spray and some other. Woah the girl has the tools she needs to defend herself and us too. She said, she learned some self defense moves and I admire her more because of what I learned.

Day In and Day Out
If “day in and day out” means my job in particular, I’d have to say that I’m inspired by the hope that things will get better. The
economy is down for everyone right now, so I’m grateful to just have a job that provides good benefits, but I do have hope that things will be different and better in the near future. If “day in and day out” refers to daily living, then I’d have to say that I’m inspired and motivated by the things that I enjoy daily – talking to my husband, cooking, playing with my cat, reading good books etc.

Sewing Machine
This may change, but currently, my favorite invention is the sewing machine. I have an older one from the 1950s, but I’m still amazed by what it does. We recently moved and got some new furniture and I wanted some throw pillows, but didn’t want to spend upwards of $40 for just one decorative pillow. I had inherited this
sewing machine and made a few trips to some fabric stores to see what ideas percolated. I initially intended to make plain square pillows, but as I started, the possibilities that the sewing machine allowed me opened the doors to creating some really unique throw pillows that are beautiful and a lot of fun to make.
