Your writer failed to keep these agreements. I severely question the degree to which Mr. Leo's life works. It seems he has chosen to be the effect rather than the cause of his life...
...Dominican Republic, posts the State Department considers to be high-risk jobs, was on the way to his first call on Lebanese President-elect Elias Sarkis when disaster struck. Because Lebanon's discredited President Suleiman Franjieh still clings to office, despite the fact that Sarkis has already been chosen to succeed him, Meloy had not yet presented his credentials−a move generally interpreted as a U.S. nudge to Franjieh to step down.

But over the phone with the sound of a baby crying in the background, Barba-Martin said last month he has chosen to put his savings into "my time to get a Ph.D." For him, writing a thesis is "not only a matter of planning but also of other human needs. It's a matter of time and a matter of discipline and you have to plan for more time than you think...
