Ending of Me to We
I think that the annomous ending is a great way to finish this book just because these people in Africa who we are trying to help live there life in total annoymously. No one knows what is happening to them until one brave man or women come forward and tell people how they were or are being treated still. I think what Craig Kilburger is an amazing man what he has done to help the world. From when he was 12 years old he was helping people what can you do to help the world?
Left Hand Shake
The left handed hand shake is something that does not feel right. Like kissing your mom in front of your friends just does not feel right. But if you do it enough then it feel more normal. Say you do it once it is going to feel really weird but if you do it for say thirty days you shake only with your left then it won't feel as weird. The left handed shake is something that people do to show a sign of peace and when you do that to different culture it is a big sign of respect.
MInga
There is really only one time when we had a minga is when we were up at my cottage and we just got a big storm and one of the neighbours docks had broken loose so we have three cottages on the lake so we all went out in our boats and the neighbour took out his boat to and we went looking for this dock we finally found the dock probably 1000 metre from where it was suppose to be. So we hooked up ropes to the loops and we went and drag the dock back to the shore were there were my uncle and his buddy waiting there with a new bolt and we had to actually jump out of the boat and there were probabbly 12 of us pushing this 25 foot dock in to line up the bolts. That is really my only minga expericence.

Victor
Victor says everything can be taken from man but the last of the human freedoms to choose ones attitude in any given set of circumstances to choose ones own way. I think this means you can choose your own way no matter what you have been through. He was in the Holocaust and still made the best of his life. If he can do that then i should be able to do something with my life if i have lived a perfectly normal life. I have not had to go through any real hardships and have been given lots of opportunity that i no people do not get. My life i have had tones of chance ot succeed and i am thnakful for the opportunity i have and will make the best of my chances and options.
Listening
When i dont listen to people i kind of look around the room and not say anytihng back to them just say yes. When someone did not listen to me they dont look at me or they dont listen to what your saying back. When Mcguchan talks about Me to We i put my head on my desk and try to sleep becasue i am not interest sure it is a good topic it just does not intererst me. When other dont listen you can tell people something then i ask Dylan what i said and he can not remember becasue he was not listening.
Oprah
I do not like Oprah she does good things but i think she likes to get reconigized to much. She always want to get credit for the efforts that she does. She does alot of good work but she wants credit for everything. Not a big fan.
