"Visualization-Imagination: What you see is what you get" 
Anon 
This means that if you really want something then you will get it. The ambition of reaching for your goals will push you to do everything possible to achieve that goal. You will do anything to be that person you imagine you can be. So if you want to achieve a goal, imagine yourself doing it, eventually you will take action. 


Sonographer (Ultrasound Technician)
Duties and Responsibilities: An Ultrasound Technician, also known as a Sonographer, Diagnostic Medical Sonographer or Diagnostic Imaging Professional, uses sound waves to capture images of the internal organs and tissues for the diagnosis and treatment of medical problems. Unlike other diagnostic imaging systems that function using radiation, an ultrasound is a completely safe method for both the ultrasound tech and the patient. Most Ultrasound Technicians work in Hospitals, others work in clinics and private practice.
The main duties of an Ultrasound technician include:
– Directing high frequency sound waves into areas of the patient’s body
– Operating ultrasound equipment to collect reflected echoes
– Taking measurements, calculating values, and analyzing results
– Reporting findings to the physician for diagnosis
Salary: $50,000 and $65,000
Education: Certification is not mandatory for Ultrasound technicians, although job opportunities are better for Technicians with certification. Ultrasound technicians can train in universities, hospitals and colleges. A background in science or healthcare is often required to gain entry into these programs. Graduates from accredited Ultrasound technician programs receive a Bachelor’s Degree or Associate Degree. The typical subjects covered on a Ultrasound tech Program include: anatomy, physiology, basic physics, medical ethics, instrumentation and patient care.

Reflection: I would only be a sonographer if there was nothing else to be.

"You will never be a winner if  you lose your temper"
Anon
This means that your temper determines whether you are a winner or a looser. If you lose your temper while doing something you will throw a tantrum and that will make you a looser. Also, if you loose and you throw a tantrum, then you will be a sore looser. You can't win in this situation, so might as well remain calm and accept if you lose.

Some organizations may allow a social worker to practice with a bachelor’s degree in social work; however, most positions require a graduate degree. Clinical positions require additional licensing after the completion of one or two year supervised internships. 
Reflection: I would not like to be a social worker because it does not interest me.

You have chosen the right path and haven't fallen into the temptation of choosing the wrong. Without choosing the right, you cannot be a great human. It means you choose the right every time you possibly could. You can't be a good human if you didn't CTR and if you are not a good human, you can't be a CTR champion.
