Introduction

This is the introduction to my journal and was written on the plane ride to China after an infuriating conversation with Jay. It is honestly irrelevant to the trip but gives a good capture of my way of thinking. In other words take it or leave it.

This journal captures the journey of Hector Guzman and his journey not only to China but to proving that adversity and influence play a major role in the development of the human mind, but not so much a role on the choices we make.

As a student I have grown my life on the basis that to be successful in life you must work hard and adapt to the changes that the world may take. The foundation we are provided with as children greatly affects the people we will become, but is not responsible for choices or paths we decided to make.

But enough cannot be controlled and enough cannot be left uncontrolled in a world that has so much to worry about. Often I look back at the models set by previous people and wonder what solution they could deceiver to the problems we often face today. Economy, Environment, and Energy have replaced Gold, God, and Glory in today's world and has hopefully modeled it to a more promising future.

I do not hold these beliefs to be standards for others to follow but as melodys that sooth my soul throughout my journey in life. Philosphy is meant to guide man in the decisions he makes, but not tell him that those are his only options.
