I have two goals to help bring about peace in the world. My short term goal is to make one person a day happy so that person can spread his happiness around. Doing so can make one more person in the world who is having a bad day happier so he won't have any negative energy. People with negative energy will not care about anything else only there problems which can cause harm to a person if that problem takes over their day. It may not sound like a good short term goal towards peace but i believe that one person can start somewhere in helping achieve peace.
My next goal is a long term goal in achieving peace. I want to open a charity that helps the third world countries in their fights against AIDS and hunger. Doing so I can at least help real people in need like the children in Africa. They live every day hungry or worse, living with AIDS. I believe they are the people in really need of help. I wish to achieve this long term goal in the future so i can help towards getting world peace. World peace does not come easy as many people need to help towards the cause and not sit back and say they want peace and expect something in return.

Opinion Editorial
I believe there are a number of elements preventing peace in the world. Peace cannot be achieved just by sitting around and saying we want peace. Peace needs to be earned and earning it won’t be easy. One element preventing peace is dictators. Dictators basically hold up the country hostage. They rule with an iron fist, getting rid of anyone standing in their way. They just care about their wealth and rule that peace con not be achieved in the country. Many people believed in dictators that with them peace can be achieved, but only in the beginning of a dictatorship, peace is around for a little.
Imagine being a 25 year old growing up in Egypt. You only know one ruler, or as other people would say, a dictator. Hosni Mubarak has been in charge of Egypt for 30 years and has ruled with an iron fist stopping anyone in his way. Until recently, no one has done anything to stop his reign since many Egyptians considered him a hero. A revolution occurred in Egypt in January of 2011 with the idea of trying to get the country to become a democracy. The young people of the country grew tired of only growing up with one ruler. The revolution at first was peaceful with people in the street protesting and playing soccer matches. They threw flowers at the feet of the army and danced and had fun while protesting. However, pro-Mubarak Egyptians didn’t sit well with the idea of protesting and began fighting with the protesters. The protesters didn’t know how to protest during the fighting so they decided to go online to get tips from the people of Tunisia who have early had a revolution. I believe that the Egyptians did the right thing in getting tips since there has never been a revolution in the country’s history. The dictator Mubarak didn’t know how to stop the revolution so he decided to kill anyone who was protesting against him resulting in many deaths.
The revolution could have gone more peaceful in my opinion if Mubarak would have let it go on peacefully. The revolution unfortunately hurt many businesses as they had to shut down and ended up losing millions of dollars in tourism. The companies had to shut down as the workers were on strike to earn better wages. The revolution ended with Hosni Mubarak stepping down and the army taking control until the next election. The country in my opinion is on the right track to becoming more democratic and better economically. Egypt has a bright future that it can look forward to. The revolution was a success.

Inner Peace
Inner peace can be many things. It can be being at a peace of mind or being able to relax through any problems one might have. I have the inner peace of being relaxed through any problems in life. In the midst of anything bad to not having money for rent or having gas to go to school, i just relax over anything and keep it chill. Many people need to have inner peace i believe since people go crazy with every little problem they have. Everyone needs inner peace one way or another because without inner peace, people start wars and fights and end up messing up everything. To achieve it, people need to be more relaxed through everything and not fuss so much about it. There little problem shouldn't dictate their whole day. If your low on money, so what you will get money again. It's not like you don't have money for the rest of your life. The way i was brought up, i was taught you only live life once so enjoy it and don't worry about anything in life. I know it sounds foolish but that's how i was taught and my life has been awesome from the get-go. I believe everyone should work at achieving inner peace, it will help make the world a better place.
