![]() Plus, you’re giving outsiders little reason to believe in you if you aren’t able to do it first. While other people can support you in your endeavors, they cannot make you believe in yourself. The one thing about believing in yourself is that you have to be the one to do it. Believing in yourself can be a determining factor in your potential success, as it gives you the confidence that you need to endure challenges. If you don’t believe that you can do something in the first place, you won’t put forth your full effort in trying. “ But until you start believing in yourself, ya ain’t gonna have a life.”– Rocky Balboa As long as you can change your attitude about adverse or unfavorable situations, you can demonstrate resilience. If you want to build resilience as an adult, you can change your attitude by becoming actively involved in problem-solving when issues arise, remembering that change is always an opportunity for growth, and responding to stress in an objective manner. Also, children who have nurturing caretakers who support their sense of confidence can also grow up to have a strong sense of resilience. Research has shown that overcoming stressful situations early in life can set you up to be more resilient as an adult. Resilience is developed through your personal experiences. ![]() Having resilience helps you thrive, even during troubling times, and turn potentially catastrophic situations into opportunities for growth. Even more than knowledge or training, having resilience in the face of hardships and unexpected changes can be the determining factor in whether you succeed or fail. The key to coping with stressful times and coming out on top is resilience. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.” This is when Rocky says, “But it ain’t about how hard you’re hit. ![]() There is one line in this speech that really encompasses resilience. Aside from just owning your mistakes, this means showing people that you are reliable when it comes to delivering on your obligations, and showing other people that they can trust you to do what you say you’ll do. Practicing behaviors that make you accountable will strengthen your sense of personal responsibility. Being able to do this will help you evaluate the outcomes that have come from your actions and design a plan to prevent future mistakes. In this Rocky speech, he points out his son’s tendency to blame others when things have gotten difficult for him, suggesting that doing this is the easy way out.Īlternatively, people who accept personal responsibility are able to acknowledge the outcome of their decisions without accusing other people of any wrongdoing. Making excuses to dispel responsibility when you make a mistake will prevent you from creating any real changes in your life. When something doesn’t go exactly how it was planned or if you make a mistake, who (or what) do you blame? Do you have the courage to make the right choice when you are faced with challenges that have resulted from your actions? Motivational Lessons from the Rocky Balboa Speech 1.

Smith supervised the laying out of a townsite, including a temple square in that year. In 1852, Latter-day Saints founded a settlement called Palmyra west of the historic center of Spanish Fork. ![]() In December 1851, Stephen Markham, who was severely wounded outside Carthage Jail in Carthage, Illinois while attempting to defend Joseph Smith and other church leaders from a mob in 1844, became the president of the first church congregation (branch) at the Lower Settlement. ![]() However, a larger group congregated at what became known as the Lower Settlement just over a mile northwest of the present center of Spanish Fork along the Spanish Fork river. In 1851, some settlers led by William Pace set up scattered farms in the Spanish Fork bottom lands and called the area the Upper Settlement. Over and above these finest of advantages, it has plenty of firewood and timber in the adjacent sierra which surrounds it-many sheltered spots, waters, and pasturages, for raising cattle and sheep and horses." They described the area inhabited by Native Americans as having "spreading meadows, where there is sufficient irrigable land for two good settlements. Its name derives from a visit to the area by two Franciscan friars from Spain, Silvestre Vélez de Escalante and Francisco Atanasio Domínguez in 1776, who followed the stream down Spanish Fork canyon with the objective of opening a new trail from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to the Spanish missions in California, along a route later followed by fur trappers. Spanish Fork was settled in 1851 by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as part of the Mormon Pioneers' settlement of Utah Territory.

The Purple Plus mattress is constructed of six layers. (However, keep in mind that hybrids tend to be more expensive than full-foam mattresses in general.) It's very close in price to the Nectar Premier Copper mattress, which may be a better option for individuals who want more extras included with their purchase and a taller bed (it's 14 inches high, compared to the 11-inch Purple Plus). (To see how they stack up, read our Purple vs Tempur-Pedic mattress comparison.) Tempur-Pedic mattresses tend to cost more than Purple's, with a Tempur-Cloud retailing for $1,999 in queen.Īs for how it compares to other top cooling models, the Purple Plus is considerably less than the Casper Wave Hybrid Snow, which starts at $2,295 for a queen. One of Purple's biggest competitors is Tempur-Pedic, which makes a range of Tempur (foam) and hybrid mattresses focusing on many of the same areas, including pressure relief, cooling and zoned support. Here's the official pricing for each size: A twin Purple Plus mattress is now $1,495 (was $1,199) while a queen costs $1,895 (was $1,699). Like many mattress manufacturers, inflation resulted in gradually-rising prices over the course of 2022 and mid-way into 2023, with an increase of $100 to $300 across all sizes of the Purple Plus. Keep an eye out for the Black Friday mattress deals, but also the Cyber Monday mattress deals for a good price (Purple sometimes bucks the trend by offering bigger discounts on the Monday). Purple Mattress deals aren't as ubiquitous as you'll find with other brands, so when they do happen they're worth taking notice of – a discount of $100 is good, but occasionally there'll be up to $400 off. The entry-level Purple Hybrid is $2,399 for a queen and its top-of-the-line Hybrid Premier 4 commands $3,799 for the same size. The brand also makes three 'Premium' hybrid mattresses, all of which cost considerably more than the Plus. The Purple Plus mattress sits at the top of Purple's 'Essential' range, which also comprises the Original (queen MSRP $1,399 ), and the budget-friendly NewDay (launched fall 2022 – queen MSRP $1,095).

We don’t claim to know how they accomplished this soft-where-you-need-it, firm-where-you-want-it feat, but Purple says it’s physics. It feels soft and cradled under your head, neck, arms, and legs, but is firmer under the shoulders, hips and lumbar spine (we rate it amongst the best mattresses for back pain). The Purple Plus is also great at relieving pressure points, and all sleep positions were well-suited on this mattress. One of our reviewers, who needs to kick one or both feet out of the covers nightly to catch relief from the heat, didn’t have to do that when sleeping on the Purple Plus. According to Purple, data shows that the Purple Plus’ construction moves heat away from the body 25% better and faster than competitor models. ![]() ![]() It's one of the best cooling mattresses we've tried – if you thought the Original regulated temperature well, the Purple Plus is in a class by itself.

Use the information if you like, I’m going to, but know that it isn’t 100% accurate. Then used the nutrition facts for that ingredient. I estimated portion sizes of each ingredient in a standard roll (6 pieces). The chart below contains my estimates for the sum of the individual ingredients in each sushi roll.

![]() Some mature, adult analysis of The Last of Us Part II’s themes and plot. ![]() I think you’ll agree that calling these people “feral” was, if anything, an understatement. Thanks for saving me some good cash and go bless the guy who leaked it all. “Why did you ruin such a good game for everyone I hope you get fired you gay and trans loving r***** f***. “F*** you stupid cuck you ruined one of the best games made you stupid piece of s***.” Here are some of the more coherent examples from Druckmann’s inbox. The other primary recipients of this charming feedback are the game’s writers, Neil Druckmann and Halley Gross. “F*** you dumb Abby b**** go f*** yourself.” “I will find u and I will kill your kid for that just wait for that.” “Just wanna say you should die b**** f*** you, you ruined it.” “I’m going to find where you live and slaughter you for what you did.” Here is a small sample of the messages she’s received. Her crime was to play Abby, a character these so-called fans didn’t like. I’m talking about the sort of people who have spent the last few weeks sending vile abuse to one of Part II’s voice actors, Laura Bailey. To be clear, I want to stress that there have been plenty of fair, thoughtful criticisms of the game. RELATED: Why the level of hate for The Last Jedi is ridiculous That’s because, like Thrones and 2017’s The Last Jedi before it, Part II has enraged an ugly, intolerant subsection of geek culture, characterised by its unfortunate tendency to go absolutely feral when it doesn’t like something. Nothing since Game of Thrones’ final season – in film, television or gaming – has been review bombed so swiftly or brutally. Many of those user reviews were posted immediately upon the game’s release, which is curious, given its story takes dozens of hours to finish. An astonishing number of reviews – well over 100,000 – have yielded an average rating of just 5.3/10, including thousands of zeros. The Last of Us Part 2 is a masterpiece worthy of its predecessor, and is one of the best games of this generation.įor the full review: /Af286u08gf- IGN June 12, 2020 In all, the game has received 53 perfect scores, with a rating of 94/100 on Metacritic and more unironic uses of the word “masterpiece” than you can count. Screen Rant went even further, saying there was “no doubt” Part II was “ the greatest game of this console generation”, stretching all the way back to the PS4’s launch in 2013. RELATED: Our review of The Last of Us Part II In our own review, Wilson Smith praised its “engaging story and brilliant gameplay”, calling it the frontrunner for game of the year. “The kind of challenging, groundbreaking work that comes along two or three times a decade,” proclaimed The Guardian. “An astonishing achievement,” declared The Washington Post. The Last of Us Part II, which arrived on the PlayStation 4 last month as one of the more highly anticipated video games in years, has enjoyed overwhelming praise from critics. One of 2020’s most critically acclaimed pieces of entertainment is also, confoundingly, its most hated. Yes, the teenagers have more Instagrams to post, but they also have more homework to do.NOTE: This article explores the story and characters of The Last of Us Part II, and it is full of spoilers. It’s no surprise that 53% of 9-year-olds read for fun every day, but only 19% of 17-year-olds do. ![]() The decline in reading for fun is most easily explained by technological advances (i.e., kids would rather text than read), but education could have something to do with it as well. Those trends stayed roughly the same through eighth grade. In 2013, 46% of white fourth graders were reading proficient, while only 18% of black students and 20% of Hispanic students were reading at grade level. ![]() That disparity can translate into educational differences as well. The researchers also found racial disparities: 75% of white children get read to every day, while only 66% of black children do and only 50% of Hispanic children. In 2013, that number had dropped to an average of just over 30 minutes per day. In 1999, children ages 2 to 7 were read to for an average of 45 minutes per day.
