10 Reason Why I Prefer Macs

1. The sleep mode. When a mac goes to "sleep" it does not take forever for it to wake up. It is reliable and it does not chew up the battery of the mac. 
2. Booting time. On a mac, it does not take long. To be exact it takes about 25 seconds to be full booted and this is when it is from a cold start. PC's are longer and makes you never want to turn it on. 
3. Easy navigation. All the apps that you have on your mac is showed at the bottom. For example, if you are on a web browser app, you can simply move your mouse to the bottom and open up Microsoft word all in a simple motion, instead of minimizing the window you have open. 
4. Easier to find the problem. There are 3 ways to find out a problem of a mac. By the disk drive, the console, or activity monitor. You do not have to worry about it crashing, it will give you a sign before.
5. Useful apps. No matter what app is out there for the macs, they have one for you. Doesn't matter what yo are into, there is a app that will assist you.
6. Neat. Everything on the mac is neat. You do not have to go search for anything as long as you keep everything neat.
7. Downloading is not a problem. It does not give you all these windows and difficult setup just to download something. The system becomes easy to download.
8. File Sharing is easy. It is not a big hassle to share files or folders. You do not necessarily have to use a thumb drive, you can do it on the mac in the system preferences. 
9. Security Software. You do not have to install another security software that in the end will slow down your computer or creates problems for you. Never have to worry about it scanning before you can actually use it.
10. No lame idea. Every idea that Macintosh have come up with has worked in one way or another. So you can not put it on Macintosh. 

10 things that make a great logo

• Simple. If a logo is complicated, people will not remember it when they see it on billboards, stores, etc. You want people to remember your business when they see your logo. You do not want them to ask their friend "Who is this?" Keep it simple.

• Correct Color Scheme. Why do you think McDonald's is so successful? The colors that they used make people hungry. Think about it when YOU see McDonald's. You never realized it yourself, but think about every time you have went by a McDonald's did it make you hungry? And you go get a Big Mac not knowing where this all of a sudden hunger came from. Use the correct color scheme to have customers remember you by the colors you use. 

• Flexible. Meaning that if you put your logo on shirt's, billboard's, or even wall's that have a black, white, or gray background, will you be able to see it? Will you be able to read the text? You have to keep that into consideration. If you can change your logo into gray, black, or white against wall's like that, then that will be good as well. 

• Appropriate for what you do. Imagine you go to "McDonald's" because you are hungry. Then all of a sudden "McDonald's" is a clothing store now. When for years it has been a fast food restaurant. Have the correct logo for what you do in the work force. 

• Sends a message. This ties in with the correct color scheme. You want the customers realize that you are the only one that is trying to get the message across to other people. If you make a logo that shows you saving a dog, then your work have to be towards saving a dog. 

• Scalable. When you are trying to put your logo on your business card, will everybody still be able to read it? Or will it look like a bunch of wasted ink? Keep this in mind. 

• Creative. This is a no brainier, but some people my forget about this one. This is why companies ask you to make their company a logo that everybody will remember.

• Make a impact. The logo that you make should catch the viewers eye. Make sure the logo "grabs" the viewers attention and make them interested in what the logo means. 

• Effective without color. Will viewers understand the logo without color? Will the logo be readable? Making a logo that looks good without color before you plan to put color on, you know you have a good logo.

• It has to bring in customers. When you have a good logo, it normally leads to your company to make money. If you do not have a decent looking logo, people will not remember you and would not want to know what the company is about.

1) "Hello, how are you?"- There is nothing wrong with this conversation starter here. You used this starter every since when you was a little kid.

5) "Excuse me, that is a nice jacket/shirt/shoes/etc. Where did you get that from?"- People love to talk about themselves. The hard part is, if you cannot finding anything to comment, then you have to use another starter.

7.) "Excuse me, what department are you working in?" When you have seen somebody every now and then, but you haven't had the chance to approach them. This is how you approach the person especially if you do not see them everyday on the job.

8.) "That is a good looking book/magazine, what is that about?" If you go to the library or you go to a bookstore and you see somebody you are interested in reading a book/magazine, this is the question you use.

9.) "I like coming to this park and going through this trail on beautiful days like this. When is your favorite time to walk on the trail?" If you are at the park and see a person walking on a path or trail, approach them like this. It will make you look like a friendly person and love nature.

The 10 best quotes of all time.

1.) "Live Life to The Fullest"- to me, this quote tells you to not dwell on the bad just live life. You only one time to live, so have fun and act like a fool. So what if your "different" as people can say. They are not in your shoes, so why are they worried about you?

2.) "One man army"- You are born alone. You do not have a "buddy" that is born with you. You are born alone, so you have to go through life alone. When you are looking for your "buddy" to help you out of a situation, THEY WON'T BE THERE. As a reminder, you need to face everything by yourself and keep yourself motivated to keep pushing in life.

3.) "There is a reason for everything that happens"- Every decision you make or a situation that you are in, it happened for a reason. Normally in the long run, it will make you a different person. Meaning that what you go through your life, you will get stronger every time to a point to where you are "indestructible."

4.) "Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought."- I can relate to this from personal experience. When a mom or father had a dream to do something, it is up to the son or daughter to continue pursuing the dream if they see fit to. "Never let your footsteps on the beach become washed away by the currents of the water."

5.) "No pain, no Gain"- With out pain, you cannot survive in life. If you can survive mental or emotional pain, then you will come out EVERYTIME a stronger person. And you will be ready for the next "challenge".

6.) "You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take." Through out our life, we miss opportunities and sometimes it is right in front of our faces. I think that we cannot correct this problem, we as people will always miss certain opportunities in life.

7.) "Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century."- When you have those embarrassing moments in life, do not be afraid to laugh with the people that are laughing at you. If you laugh at it yourself, you will feel better and won't feel embarrass. It will be like a joke to you.

8.) "When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile."- Your happy days will always out weigh your bad days. As long as you smile and have fun in life, you will have very few bad days. So always smile and have fun.

9.) "Never tell your problems to anyone...20% don't care and the other 80% are glad you have them."- It's really hard to remember this quote going through life. Especially if you are a person that tells people what is going on. There are some people that care, but do the "really care" for your problems?

10) "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. "- Never regret what you have said to people, IF what you have said is a nice or good thing. In the end, you will find people who do not think twice about telling them how you feel. They still are going to be cool with you either way.
