Life is beautiful but not always easy

Life is beautiful , but not always easy, it has problems, too , and
the challenge is to face them with courage, leaving the beauty
of life act as a balm, which makes the pain bearable , during
difficult times , providing hope
Happiness, sadness, victory , defeat , day and night are the two
sides of the coin me. Well life is full of moments of joy ,
pleasure , success and comfort punctuated by poverty , defeat ,
failures and problems. It is not a human being on Earth , strong,
powerful , wise or rich, who did not know , struggle, suffering
or failure.
For some people, life is hard, cruel and merciless. This set of
people see life as punishment throughout their lives. Therefore,
they are resigned to fate, believing all is finished. For them,
nothing they do can ever be good. They take pleasure in
committing crimes and hurting others to avenge their ill fortune.
They have lost all sense of direction and most of the time, some
of them are going to commit suicide, just to escape the life of
the injustice inflicted on them.
No doubt, life is beautiful and every moment - a celebration of
being alive , but you must always be ready to face adversity and
challenges. A person who has not experienced difficulties in life
can never achieve success.
Difficulties to test the courage, patience , perseverance and true
character of a human being . Adversity and hardships are a
strong person and ready to face the challenges of life with
confidence. There is no doubt that there may be no gain without
pain. It is only when working hard and sweating it that success
is nurtured and supported.
Thus , life is and should not be just a bed of roses , thorns are
also a part of it and must be accepted by us as we accept the
bright side of life.

Thorns recall how success and happiness can be elusive and
therefore do not feel disappointed and discouraged rather than
remember the pain of thorns is short , and the beauty of life
would soon overcome the sting of thorns.
Those who are under the impression that life is a bed of roses
are disillusioned and soon become victims of depression and
frustration. Those who encounter difficulties with courage and
accept success without letting it go to his head is the one who
know true happiness , contentment and peace in life.
Those who think that the good times last forever , easily
succumb to pressure when difficulties. They do not put in the
hard work and effort necessary because they will not break
easily.
You can take the example of a student burning the midnight oil ,
made sacrifices and resists temptations so that it can perform
well. Similarly, a successful executive must face the ups and
downs of life , without forgetting that life is a mixture of
success and failure , joy and sadness.
If he loses hope in difficult times , it would not achieve success
and be replaced by others. Even kings and the strongest
emperors had their cup of woes.
Life was not a bed of roses for them. The adage " Worried poses
the head that wears the crown " was rightly used for people who
are successful and have power and authority .
In short, life is beautiful like roses, but it has challenges that
are like thorns and face and overcome by all. Those who accept
these challenges and succeed are those who know how to live in
its true sense . So enjoy life , but also be ready to bear the pain
bites .

Assignment 4
PowerPoint Slide Deck for your Term Research Assignment
This assignment will be different for each student as it is tied
directly to your Term Research
Assignment. If you are working with another student in the
class on the Term Research Assignment
please remember Assignment 4 is an INDIVIDUAL assignment
and each student will create the slide deck
on their own.
Assignment Requirements and Details
1. This is to be completed individually and is tied directly to
your Term Research Assignment.
2. There must be a minimum of 6 slides in the slide deck.
a. The first slide must be an introductory slide that identifies
the audience, yourself, and
who you are representing (create a strong slide to start your
presentation).
b. The next 5 slides must be information/persuasion slides –
your choice of what to include
but they should flow together. Think about how you can
persuade your audience – what
content is needed?
c. Include a work cited slide if you use information other than
your own knowledge in the
slides (this would be slide 7+).

3. The goal of this assignment is to think about how you would
present this information to your
audience orally. No new information is required for this
presentation – but how you present it
may be different than how you wrote it, or presented it, in the
Term Research Assignment.
4. You do not have to provide a complete presentation – your
goal is to show me your skills using
PowerPoint and your skills in organizing your information for a
presentation.
5. The slide layout and information presented on each slide will
be graded (use what you learned
with SIMNet). Professionalism is important for this assignment.
a. Don’t include too much information on each slide – the goal
is to guide the reader, not
provide all information for the reader.
b. Decide on the best layout for the information. In other
words, should you include a
graph, picture, or other item to guide the reader?
c. What does the audience know and what do they need to know
about the topic? Use this
to guide your assignment creation.
d. Additional slides (more than 6) may help your thinking
process and your grade.
6. The DUE DATE for Assignment 4 is listed below based on
your class enrollment.
a. The Tuesday Hybrid class (noon-1:50) – Tuesday, November
27th. Turn in a hard copy in
class of the slides (as a handout – 3 slides per page). The slides

may be printed on both
sides of the page. Upload the PowerPoint file in D2L as well
under Assignment 4 by the
beginning of class.
b. The Online Class – Tuesday, November 27th by 11:59pm.
Upload the PowerPoint file in
D2L under Assignment 4. Note: This is a different deadline day
for you – so you have
time to complete the Term Research Assignment first.
If you have questions, please contact Jennifer Loney
([email protected]).
Term Research Assignment FAQ’s
This is an overview of questions received regarding the
assignment. It is not all inclusive and may be
added to throughout the term.
Q. If I am working on this assignment with a partner, do we
both need to turn in an
assignment?
A. No, only one assignment needs to be turned in by one of the
partners. Please make sure both

names are on the memo. One of the partners must upload the
assignment into D2L.
Q. Do I have to use Word to complete the assignment?
A. Yes. This is another use of what you learned this term using
Word. Combine the two parts of the
assignment in to one file. You will be graded on how you used
Word as well.
Q. Are there any Word format requirements?
A. Yes, the assignment must be single spaced (DO NOT use the
default spacing in Word), with a 1”
margin. The font must be 10 or 11 point Times New Roman.
Q. What exactly should the completed assignment include?
A. The completed assignment is made up of two parts – both
completed using Word.
1. A 1-2 page typed persuasive memo – written to Ava Stevens
– from you (representing
your business, non-profit, government entity, or committee).
This memo outlines HOW
you plan to persuade your audience and what your main
persuasive point(s) will be and
how you will back these points up with your research. Basically
it is a narrative or

outline of your argument. Think of me as your boss, and this
memo is being used to
prove to me that you have the needed information to continue
with this persuasion. How
you organize this memo is your choice – but you may find bullet
or numbered points
helpful in presenting some of the information. Remember you
cannot end a memo with
a list. There needs to be at least a one sentence close to end the
memo (don’t just
stop…write for the reader). Don’t forget to use the correct
second page heading for the
second page of your memo.
This memo is NOT your entire argument – it is designed to
prove you are ready, with the
necessary resources, to write the persuasive argument. Don’t
make the mistake of using
this memo to argue your point. Remember to write to your
audience – Ava Stevens
– what does she need from you to know you are ready to write
the persuasive
argument to your audience?

2. A 2-4 (or more) page typed annotated bibliography – the
minimum number of sources on
this annotated bibliography is 6. Of the 6 sources, at least 3
must be from peer reviewed
academic journals. (Information is provided below to explain
how to verify if the journal,
and therefore the article, is peer reviewed.)
Each source will have two paragraphs. The first paragraph is an
overview of the
article. DO NOT use the abstract to write this – read the article
and explain the overall
idea of the article using your own words. You are uploading this
in D2L and it will be put
through Turn-it-in. Please don’t earn zero points because you
plagiarized. The second
paragraph is WHAT you will use out of the article to back up
your argument. It is taking
the needed information from the article and explaining briefly
how you can use it to
strengthen your persuasive argument.
Don’t forget to include the proof that the journal (and therefore

the article) is peer-
reviewed. You will include a “snip” of copy of the line from
Ulrich’s to prove the journal
was peer-reviewed (see below).
You are using MLA documentation for this Annotated
Bibliography. That means you
need to make sure you present the source in the correct method.
The first line of the
source starts at the left margin and the remaining lines of the
source are indented 5 spaces
(see below).
“When deciding how to cite your source, start by consulting the
list of core elements.
These are the general pieces of information that MLA suggests
including in each Works
Cited entry. In your citation, the elements should be listed in
the following order:
1. Author.
2. Title of source.
3. Title of container,
4. Other contributors,
5. Version,
6. Number,
7. Publisher,

8. Publication date,
9. Location.
Each element should be followed by the punctuation mark
shown here.”

_guide.html>
Q. How do I find strong articles for my topic?
A. Your goal is to find good search words or phrases.
Brainstorm what you could look for and then
use Google Scholar or Academic Search Premier to find articles.
You can use non-peer reviewed
articles, but verify they are strong articles for your topic and
your credibility. One of your articles

should be about the organization you are representing so you
can build credibility. Creative
thinking will help you to come up with ideas to search – if you
are not finding information please
contact Ava Stevens and she will help guide you in your search.
Q. How do I identify if the articles are peer reviewed?
A. To verify these articles are from peer-reviewed journals,
please verify using Ulrichs International
Periodicals Directory. Ulrichs’ can be found online through the
PSU Library. Go to
www.pdx.edu, click on “Library”, click on “Databases &
Articles”, and then click on “U” in the
alphabet presented to get to Ulrichs’. To verify the journal is
peer-reviewed, type the name of
the journal in the search bar and hit enter. When the journal
comes up, if there is a striped
referee shirt to the left of the journal listing, then the journal is
peer-reviewed. If there is no
striped referee shirt, then the journal is NOT peer-reviewed.
An example of what this will look like in your paper is below.
Please make sure to include

this with all your peer-reviewed journal articles. The
assignment will be marked down if you
don’t show which articles are peer-reviewed.
Q. Why did I have to identify who I was representing?
A. To be able to create a strong argument you need credibility.
Therefore who you align yourself
with makes a lot of difference. You can use this in your memo
to help with your persuasive
argument. This means one of your sources can be background
on who you are representing (a
company or non-profit’s web page for example).
Q. Why did I have to identify the audience when they won’t be
given the actual assignment/
argument?
A. To be able to find the right information, and to build the
correct persuasive argument, you must
know your audience – what they know and what they need to
know to be persuaded. Without this
information your argument will be generic and very basic – and
will not be persuasive for that

specific audience. Remember, your goal is to write for your
audience.
Q. What do I do if I get stuck or need help on this assignment?
A. Contact Ava Stevens at [email protected] and she will help
guide you – but please do
not procrastinate and expect immediate help the night before the
project is due.

BA 205 - Term Research Assignment
Understanding the research process is critical in
communication. This assignment will allow you to show your
research ability, topic and research understanding, and
persuasive aptitude. You may complete this assignment on
your own or with one other student from the class. If you wish
to work with another student, it is up to you to pair
up as your instructor will not determine with whom you work.
There are two parts to this assignment: the research process
itself and the written understanding of the research.
This assignment is designed to help you understand how to find
research that is specific to your topic and is

persuasive (along with informative) in content.
Part 1 – Topic Identification / Audience Analysis
This part is about identifying a topic and considering the
audience; it consists of two steps.
First Step: Choose a topic from the list below. If you don’t see
a topic which interests you, you are welcome to
suggest an alternative topic to your instructor for approval.
Your goal is to persuade your audience to do one of
the following.
n unlimited vacation policy
agency
-reimbursement program
ified B Corp

population
other energy type)
-user restrooms in their facility
-parental leave policy
pport) a specific product or products that
support a particular agenda
Second Step: Identify the following three items.
1. Who is your audience? Who are you persuading in your
assignment? (This must be a business,
government agency, or non-profit entity.) Identify the actual
decision makers from your audience, by
name and title. This cannot be a fictitious audience, it must be
existing and researchable.
2. Who are you representing? To be able to persuade you have
to be representing a known entity (business,
government agency, or non-profit entity).

3. What specifically are you persuading them to do? What do
you want the audience to do when you have
successfully presented your argument? What is the audience’s
next step if and when they are persuaded?
Once you have completed these two steps, you are prepared to
complete written Assignment 2; additional
assignment details are on D2L.
Part 2 – Research
This part is about finding and understanding the research on
your chosen topic.
Gather Research
Now that you know your topic, audience, and persuasive goal
you need to find research that can be used to back
up your claim and persuade your audience. You must find at
least 6 articles (not books) that can be used to back
up your persuasive argument. Of these 6 articles at least 3
MUST be from peer-reviewed academic journals.
To verify these articles are from peer-reviewed journals, please
verify using Ulrichs International Periodicals
Directory. Ulrichs’ can be found online through the PSU
Library. Go to www.pdx.edu, click on “Library”, click

on “Databases & Articles”, and then click on “U” in the
alphabet presented to get to Ulrichs’. To verify the
journal is peer-reviewed, type the name of the journal in the
search bar and hit enter. When the journal comes up,
if there is a striped referee shirt to the left of the journal listing,
then the journal is peer-reviewed. If there is no
striped referee shirt, then the journal is NOT peer-reviewed.
Part 3 – Written Understanding / Persuasive Discussion
Annotated Bibliography
Once you have found the 6 articles (with at least 3 peer-
reviewed) your job is to read all the articles and
understand the content well enough to write an annotated
bibliography. Information on how to write and produce
an annotated bibliography will be given in a separate document
and discussed in class. This annotated
bibliography will be 2-3 pages in length and will be typed
single space, using 11 point Times New Roman font.
A copy or “picture” of the journal showing that it is peer-
reviewed (as shown in Ulrich’s) is required to be pasted

under each annotated bibliography that is from a peer-reviewed
journal. This can be done by using the “CTRL”
“PrtScn” command on your computer (hold Ctrl down and tap
PrtScn) and then copying that picture into Paint (or
another similar software). Then cut the picture so only the one
journal is shown on the page. Insert that picture
into your Word document at the end of the annotated
bibliography from that journal.
An example of what this will look like in your paper is below.
Persuasive Memo
This is the final part of the assignment. You have a strong
understanding of the persuasive goal, you have found
research to help persuade your audience, and now it is time to
prove you have the necessary information and
persuasive research to successfully persuade your audience.
Instead of writing a formal report to your audience
you will write a 1-2 page memo to your instructor outlining the
following.
audience?

from each article to prove your
points?
http://www.pdx.edu/
The goal of this memo is to outline your research, ideas and
motives to show you can successfully persuade your
audience. Please make sure to write a strong memo outlining the
necessary information needed to persuade your
audience. You can refer to the annotated bibliography in the
memo as well.
You will turn the assignment in with the memo first and the
annotated bibliography second.

Happiness, sadness, victory , defeat , day and night are the two
