Point of View

UNITED STATES—I tell people this time and time again; there is a vast difference between a job and a career. Some might argue I’m using that terminology to establish status, but that is not the case in any fashion. When I talk about a job it could be something temporary or unstable, whereas a career might have a bit...

UNITED STATES—What is it about Americans nowadays where they seem to care nothing about the impact their behavior has on others. Just the other day I was out and about, and a man nearly careened right into me because he was on his cell phone and not paying attention. I mean, “What the hell?” Why do people exhibit this...

UNITED STATES─Naps, I think they are God’s gift to those of us who are workaholics. I talk to people all the time about sleep, particularly getting quality sleep at night. Some people say I get 7 or 8 on average. I wish I could get 8 hours of sleep at night; it is indeed very rare for me to...

UNITED STATES—Throw 2020 away and start to focus on things you can do in 2021. I started the New Year doing something that I had dreaded doing for months. What was that dreadful thing? It was shredding old paperwork and bills. It felt like a daunting task to begin with because I had so MUCH to tackle. It got...

As I’ve gotten older it has decreased somewhat, because of a busy schedule and the price it costs to go to the movies. For starters, the ticket...

UNITED STATES—How do you teach children the value of a dollar? It seems plenty of children nowadays seem to think that money actually grows on trees, but here is the harsh reality: MONEY DOES NOT! Trust me if money actually grew on trees I think a lot of Americans would actually have money trees in their homes and we...

UNITED STATES—I find it so fascinating nowadays when you ask tweens, teenagers and young adults what they want to do career wise the answer I hear so common is social media influencer. It immediately makes me think: why? I know social media is the craze right now, rather its Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Tumbler, Tik Tok, Reddit or some...

UNITED STATES—Last week I wrote a column about the shooting that transpired at my Alma Mater, Michigan State University that left 3 students killed and 5 others seriously injured. The mass shooting did strike me in a way that I hadn’t expected. Perhaps it is not just the fact that I am very familiar with the school and the...

UNITED STATES—So many of us would like to think that technology makes our lives easier, I unfortunately disagree with that assessment and believe that technology actually makes our lives more complicated. How so? You become overly dependent on it. Gosh, I remember the good ole days of writing things on pen and paper because you didn’t have a computer...
