What does it mean to be a body builder?

Brian Ruhe tells his story about having to use prosthetic legs. Like him, there are tons of others who have missing limbs by accidents or are either born like that. Brian works to better the way prosthetic limbs move and how they function. To truly be a body builder, you make your way to improving yourself and to make things work out. There are new ways in improving it, like someday being able to feel what you touch. It's all about working towards a goal that you want to accomplish and by doing so, you do whatever it takes.

You are not the boss of me

In the article, it discusses the success of three young entrepreneurs. Starting your own business is usually a difficult task, but there are programs that can help. For example, the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship or the NFTE, can help a young entrepreneur start their own business. Some of the young entrepreneurs have had successful stories with their businesses. One of them is Jasmine Lawrence, who started her business by doing something she loves, which is dealing with hair and skin products. The key to creating your own business is to start off with hobby and turn it into a business. Another successful business, was Phoenix Bess who didn't think she would make money for doing something she loves, which was knitting her designs. The last one, was Kamarin Lee, who designs web sites for companies. All great businesses have to start somewhere, but it takes hard work and patience.

What is a freelance life?

The life of a freelancer is working at home without a boss or an office of your own. You are more able to do what you like, but meet the deadlines the companies give you. Before you can begin even working at home, you would have to prove to your employers that you have the skills and experience to do the job. You can have the freedom and comfort of working in your very own home, but to be careful of how you spend your money, because you may not get as much as you did the month before. It may look like a great job, but you have to have the discipline and stick to the deadlines.
