“That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do,  not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased.”
                          -Ralph Waldo Emerson

I believe that this quote means that the more you do something the easier it will become. For example say you have trouble with a math problem if you try to solve it every day then it will become easier without a doubt. So the more persistant you are the easier things will become.

 When You Tell One Lie

                 -Paul Hatch

When you tell one lie, it leads to another

So you tell two lies to cover each other

Then you tell three lies and, Oh brother,

You’re in trouble up to your ears!

So you tell four lies to try to protect you

Then you tell five lies so folks won’t suspect you

Then you tell six lies and you’ll collect

A life filled with worries and fears

‘Cause you can’t remember how many lies you’ve told

And half the things you say aren’t true

And sometimes you’ll slip up, you’ll trip up and then

Whatever will you do?

So you lie and lie without even trying

And each lie you tell will keep multiplying

‘Till the whole wide world will know you’re lying

Then you’ll be

Suspected

Detected

Rejected

Neglected

Disliked

And you should!

When you lie, you’re closing the door

On everything good

“Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have.”

                -Thomas Edison

I think this quote means that what you consist of your personality and not material good. If you are a poor but fair, kind , peaceful that is what you consist of. You could the richest man in the world but you would think that material good makes up who you are but it doesn’t. Your personality makes you who you are not things.

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.”

-Henry David Thoreau

I believe this quote means that if you go in the direction you set your goals in you will accomplish them without hesitation. If you hesitated in which way you want to go you will not achieve them. You should always do what you want with confidence.

Pharmacists answer patients' and customers' questions about the drugs they are taking and drugs which can be sold over the counter.  In some cases, pharmacists are responsible for taking inventory of the drugs on the shelves and ordering any which they are low on.

Pharmacists work in hospitals, clinics, health departments, universities, and grocery, drug, and discount stores.  Those who work in stores must be aware of the other health supplies available in the store so they do not direct customers in the wrong direction.
