What To Do When You Are Sick?
UNITED STATES—Being ill or sick as most of us like to call it is no fun feeling. For many Americans, when we get sick it usually lasts for a day or so, however, I think any cold, sore throat, stomach ache or just overall feeling of dread takes more than a day to recover from.
I bring this situation to...
What Makes A Powerful Speech
UNITED STATES—We have discussed in the past the importance of public speaking, however, we have not yet discussed how important a speech is in the public sphere. Why has this conversation suddenly come to light? I think most of you might already know the answer: awards season! This is the time of year, where we see big time celebrities...
The Importance Of Celebrating A Birthday
UNITED STATES—Birthdays, they come around once a year people, and with that assertion, they should be celebrated if you ask me. However, the older I get, I see the importance of a birthday not being as important as I once considered them. I’m not only speaking from my perspective, but a lot of friends and family members that I...
Setting Feasible Standards For That Resolution
UNITED STATES—Well America, 2016 is over, and I’m ecstatic! I really have not been happier to kick-off a New Year and 2017 I have high hopes for. Like many Americans, I am also setting resolutions for 2017, the biggest being eliminating unnecessary stress. Stress is something we all encounter in life, but at the same time, I’ve learned that...
How To Deal With Embarrassment?
UNITED STATES—Have you ever been embarrassed? Of course you have, all Americans have it is a part of daily life for most people. Rather it’s asking a person out on a date and being rejected, falling down or up the stairs (yes, I’ve seen it happen), or doing something that just makes you the talk of the town. Why...
Endless Opportunities Await
UNITED STATES—It’s a New Year, and the opportunities to reach for the stars are unlimited if one is willing to not dismiss their potential. One thing that has been on my mind for the past few months is not faltering on accomplishing things that I want to accomplish.
This holiday season, there was plenty and I mean plenty of family...
Positive Thoughts, Negative Energy
UNITED STATES—Positive energy, negative energy, we all deal with bouts of it on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. We have days that are good and we have days that are not so good. However, it raises the question of why some harper on the negative instead of focusing on the positive.
I bring this situation to the forefront because my...
Why Do We Have The Electoral College?
UNITED STATES—I’ve heard this argument before and it seems it has reappeared yet again after the 2016 presidential election. What is the purpose of the Electoral College if America is a country dictated by democracy? Rule by the people for the people, that is what democracy is all about. However, the idea of the Electoral College changes those dynamics.
To...
A Christmas Worth Forgetting
UNITED STATES—Christmas is expected to be a joyous and happy occasion, but I think 2016 might go down as one of the worst Christmas experiences I can recall having my entire life. Never in a million years had I expected some of the chaos and madness that unfolded to occur on what is expected to be the happiest day...
Later 2016, Hello 2017!
UNITED STATES—Well in several days, we will bid adieu to 2016, and welcome 2017 as we kick of the New Year. For some, 2016 may have been a great year, for others 2017 may not have been the best. One thing that is important to note is reflecting on the good, the bad and the so-so during a year...
