Follow your heart
To all the young people out there: When choosing a career path or what profession you wish to be in, I say follow your heart. Yes, monetary income is important, but so is doing what you enjoy, or have a passion for. In the end, I believe you will be happier if you do the latter. I am 60 years old so I know, as I didn't follow my heart, but wish I had. Good luck to you all, our future generation. MORE

Little Things Still Mean A Lot
Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still mean a lot. It has always been tempting for one to believe "My life makes no difference" or "What impact do I have on the world? I'm just one person. No one notices me."

Choosing to Forgive
No one likes to talk about forgiveness, because for most people I think it has a religious connotation. But the dictionary definition of “forgive” is “to stop feeling angry or resentful towards something.” And I’m sure many people have managed to do that. I know I have, and I know how hard it is. To let go of feeling wronged is probably the hardest part. I had bee... MORE

A Teacher's Lesson
We stood there on the corridor of our classroom talking with our English teacher, not on academic matters but on general issues. He was really speaking with us as if we were full adults. We were still in our penultimate class in high school. In the cause of our discussion my friend made a comment. Then our teacher stopped talking for a moment and said in effect, "You have just spoken like... MORE

Faith
My sister had failed out of school and was making very unwise decisions with her life. She chose to spend her time with people who were lost as she was. They all chose to ignore their responsibilities and supported one another in a life which involved drinking and partying. Sadly, they were all losing time. They were young and had the potential to become whatever they wanted if they would only ... MORE
