Chiropractor

Part 1

http://library.thinkquest.org/15569/car1a.html

Duties and Responsibilities:

Chiropractors treat patients by manually adjusting parts of the human body, especially the spine. Chiropractors and their patients believe that problems with the bone and nerve alignment can cause illness and problems in other parts of the body, a view not widely accepted by allopathic physicians and other traditional medical practitioners.

Chiropractors manipulate their patients’ spinal columns for treatment. They may prescribe specific diets or exercises, but not drugs. Chiropractors cannot perform surgery.

Most chiropractors establish a private practice and some provide home treatments. Others form group partnerships in clinics or chiropractic hospitals.

Average salary: $30,000-$100,000

Student Success Statement

 

I have three messages:

 

1. We should never, ever give up.

 

2. You are never too old to chase your dreams

 

3. It looks like a solitary sport, but it takes a team.

 

            Diana Nyad, American Swimmer

 

 

I think that these three messages are very inspirational and motivating. I agree when she says we should never give up on anything. I know that a lot of people give up on something when the road gets hard but you have to keep trying and not give up. Once you give it all you'll end up getting what you want. I especially agree on the 2nd message because I strongly believe that we are never too old to do something or accomplish something we want to know. If you got a dream you have the right to chase them. The third message is stating that it may look like an individual sport but it also means that it takes not only her but many people. in reality it means you need more than yourself but a team.

"To know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice."

Confucius

 

 

The quote in which I just read is a very true and good advise to follow. The quote is trying to explain to us that if you know something is right then you should do it because if you don't then you are not brave and don't of classified as a coward. One example is like if you know how to do a certain assignment In school but you choose not  to do it. That is an example of not succeeding. This is an example and the meaning of the quote.
