Believe You Can and You Will
I tried doing pull-ups as a little kid, but I could only do two of them. Someone I knew said I could do more with his help. He told me to close my eyes. Then he said he was going to hold the bottom of my feet and push me up. So I was able to do ten pull-ups with his "help." To my surprise, he revealed that he didn't push me up at all. He merely held the bottom of my feet to give me the impression that he was helping me out. So I was actually able to do the ten pull-ups using my own strength. The moral of this story: believe that you can accomplish something, and you will.

Is Right or Wrong Really Subjective?
Everyone is currently in shock over the tragic murders in Virginia Tech. So am I. But as I browsed the Internet, I came across an article written by someone who claimed that there was no such thing as right or wrong, since right or wrong is merely subjective. I believe this is called moral relativism. I'd like to pose some questions for everyone to ponder - do you believe that the gunman's actions were objectively wrong? And if so, do you really think that your belief was purely a subjective decision only?
