“The true way to honor the past is to improve upon it.”

-N. Eldon Tanner

Reflection: I think what this quote is saying is that if in the past you did something good and you want to continue doing well you must do better to keep on living good.

Reflexology

Duties and Responsibilities: Reflexology is also known as zone therapy. It is another form of treatment involving the application of pressure to different parts of the body in order to improve the general health. Reflexologists are professionals skilled in this natural art of healing. They treat patients by massaging their feet, hands, and ears to relieve them of stress, and improve circulation to the related body areas. The entire method of treatment is based on the principle that certain reflex zones in the body correspond to different body parts.

Salary: $35,000

Education: There is no specific academic requirement for reflexologists. One can get for high school education in subjects like biology, chemistry, nutrition, and health. There are a lot of private schools and graduate colleges that offer courses on reflexology. It is better to attend a 6-month or 1-year course from a training school before taking up the profession.

Reflection: I would not like to become a reflexology because it seems like a hard job that pays a little. It also sounds kind of boring.

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.”

-         Charles Ketterer

Reflection: Not everyone lives the way they want to because they haven’t created their future. If you want to be happy and live your own way you have to create your own future. If you don’t then you will live an unhappy life.

“Bless You”

The reason why people say “bless you” is because your heart stops beating for the moment that you sneeze. It is said that it is a gift from god and that when you sneeze part of your soul comes out and that the devil may take that chance to enter your body and by saying “Bless You” you are chasing away the devil. Also since the heart stops beating for a mili-second by saying bless you are making the heart start beating again. This saying originated from ancient superstitions. Another reason that some believe that we say “bless you” is because when Gregory 1 became pope there was the bubonic plague. Back then sneezing was a common symptom of the plague and by saying bless you the plague would leave your body. This saying originated in AD 77.
