Point of View

UNITED STATES—I almost wish I could rewind time nearly 30 years ago, a time where technology was advancing, but not as advanced as it is now. It seems the world of technology is ever advancing, so much to the point that doing typical banking is no longer the same. It raises a very important question as to why technology...

UNITED STATES—We’ve talked about it before, but I still struggle and I’m certain many other Americans struggle with it as well. You really shouldn’t have to guess what I’m referring to? It’s the issue of money. However, the question I’d like to pose this week is why we react to spend instead of saving when we earn extra money...

UNITED STATES—Getting the most out of your  exercise  can only be achieved if you put in a better performance. This can be difficult sometimes, as your activities during the day can  often  drain you, making you less motivated. Even when you get adequate sleep and eat well, your performance in your workouts can be hindered as a result of...

UNITED STATES—For the first time, since I can remember the Fourth of July holiday falls during a tricky time this year. Why? It falls on a Wednesday, right in the middle of the week. So for most Americans who work the typical 9-5, Mon-Fri they likely took Monday-Wednesday off or perhaps planned to take an extended vacation from Wednesday...

UNITED STATES—I’m someone who sleeps best when I’m not dreaming. Yes, I know this sounds foreign, it might even sound crazy to some people, but for me sleep is best when there is nothing on my mind. That is the problem with many of us, we’re not able to turn that switch off inside our brains; it’s constantly running...

UNITED STATES—I will be the first to admit it: I’m terrified of going to the doctor just like so many other Americans! My first gut reaction when having to go to the doctor is the thought of being delivered bad news. I think that is something each and every American worries about. I’ve come to learn as I age,...

UNITED STATES—As age catches up with us, most people tend to adopt a sedentary lifestyle. In more cases than not, this is catapulted by issues related to poor health, weight or even joint pain. According to a new study, stretching legs daily has a host of benefits for seniors and people struggling with mobility challenges. One myth people tend to...

UNITED STATES—I’ve talked about the issue of temptation in the past, especially in the world of materialistic things. As Americans, we are inclined to buy because we just have that instinct to do it. This is very common for those of us who have jobs. You work hard, you play hard, or in other words, you pay your bills...

UNITED STATES—I’m starting to realize in life that you sometimes can do way too much. I’d like to think I’m a superhero who can do almost anything, but as I age it has become a realization in life that you can’t do it all even if you want to or people think you should. I’ve been known to juggle...

UNITED STATES—How many times do you have to make a mistake to realize that you’ve made that mistake one too many times? For many of us, we are firm believers of offering second chances to people, but what happens when those second chances continue to lead to problem after problem after problem? At some point you have to take...
