My favourite advertisement is the one about the Dodge Challenger where the Americans fight off the British from the past, I like it because it talks about how technology changed. Advertisement video here. My favourite store is Apple because you can go on the products and test them out. I like that store because they give you the freedom to play on the iPods, iPhones, or Macs. My favourite soft drink is Coca-Cola because to me it tastes better then Pepsi or Sprite, even though it isn't healthy.

I think he meant that a person should do whatever they feel like doing and it doesn't matter what anyone says as long you believe you can do it. What he wants people to know is we all have freedom and we can do what we want when know we can accomplish it.  There is no such thing as right or wrong, it only matters on what you think you should do with your life. In other words just be yourself and do what your heart desires.

To be honest, I wouldn't add the time to my friend's sheet until they actually finishes his work. I would buy the iPod at the discounted price and sell it for regular price to make extra money. To be honest I would keep the money and give it back only if they ask me or tell me that they made a mistake, I mean like who wouldn't want to have more money in their pockets, I know I would.

I believe that these people have an honest opinion about what is going on. These people have a good point to protest, which I totally agree with. I'm especially proud of the 18 year old for his bravery by standing up for the people when he is still studying in school. I would love to be with these people any day of the week. They are right about what they are portraying. This is an amazing thing I would love to join. I truly believe this is the right thing to do.

I think it has become so popular because the woman is a millionaire and she stands with the "99%" she is trying to tell the government that they should tax the rich instead of the poor. What I think of the statement is that she has a point that the government doesn't realize that they are making things worse by taking more money away from the poor. What I believe is that the American government should wake up and put an end to the problem, they should tax the rich more and tax successful business more in order to make money.

Secrets of success in eight words

The eight words that he had in his presentation is all about staying confident and following your dream no matter what. Even if you fail at what you are trying to achieve, you have to get back and continue working until you succeed. Another important concept thing he mentioned was that your shouldn't listen to what people have to say to you. As long as you know you can achieve your goal then it is possible. The main idea of this is you don't become successful on the first try, it takes some time and effort. What was helpful to inspire people to do this was the quotes that he had from successful people.

Before we advertise our business, we need to know how to make a proper ad and what to put on it in order to get many customers. Advertising is not easy because you have to know where the best place is where people will see the ad. It also costs a lot of money if you are placing you ad in a newspaper or magazine. It also takes patience because people wont come right away, it may or will take some time. We also need to make an ad that makes people want it, we want it to catch peoples attention and make them want the product or service.
