Wikipedia Trail; From Vishnu to Slang

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vishnu

I got to vishnu through the class twitter page. I have always wondered about vishnu and for some reason this weekend it got brought up. So when I saw it, it caught my eye.

When I was reading through Vishnu on wikipedia it began to talk about the different positions the statues of Vishnu come in. One of them was a yoga sitting pose. Hinduism and these gods have a lot to do with yoga and yoga is important in many religions in the middle east and asia.

As I was reading about Yoga and religions I came across the muslim religion where they issued a Fatwa for any muslims trying to practice yoga. I had never heard of a fatwa before I started watching "Curb your Enthusiam" where this season there was a Fatwa against Larry David.

Fatwa can be used as slang and that is how Curb your Enthusiasm used it in there season. I thought it was crazy I had never heard it and I keep coming across it now that I have heard the word.

Growth Mindset: My job as a growth mindset place

I have a part time job at a store in Del City called Gregorys sporting goods. I sell team uniforms and various things to customers and have been doing so for about two and half years while I have been in college. I work part time along with school. There is a lot of talking to do and selling and I have used those skills to be successful at what I do. I have been searching for a career and finally found one upon graduation and going through interviews you have to sell yourself. I believe my job at gregorys has provided with mindset that I will succeed in my career. I loved to learn and grow and this part time job has lead me to learn patience and organization. I am going to be sad leaving but I am so excited to start my new career. Gregorys Logo

Reading Notes, English tales: Three Little Pigs

The three little pigs is one of the most famous tales I want to keep the beginning of the story the same " ill huff and ill puff and ill blow your house down" After the wolf gets to the third house I can change the story around the wolf gets tricked every time and I could change that around to where the wolf was doing so on purpose The wolf talks about different ways to get the last pig out. I could change the way he tries to get him out of the house. Maybe even spy on the pig to devise a plan. I don't want to take away from the original story but I feel like I could have some better ideas to make it more interesting. Joseph Jacobs, Three Little Pigs; Link to reading The Wolf
