Adolf Hitler
Number of Words: 1946 / Number of Pages: 8
... In fact the Dean of the academy was not very impressed with his performance, and gave him a really hard time and said to him "You will never be painter."

During the next 35 years of his live the young man never forgot the rejection he received in the dean’s office that day.

... is not romantic and may kill true love. Those who live together are likely to have a fleeting romance rather than a lasting relationship. A romance is not the same as having an ongoing relationship. Relationships take time and work to develop and maintain; romance is a positive feeling toward another person. Romance without a relationship is a brief encounter at best. Romance, in today's disposable society, is hastily devised and easily discarded at the first sign of conflict or disillusionment. There is no lasting commitment when times get tough. Good relationships are built upon knowing and enjo ...
