One

One stays strong by moving on. One builds strength through weakness. One avoids wrong through learning experiences. One stays away from the bad to initiate the good. One understands life through the obstacles involved within it. One will feel pain, but overcome it through patience. One who witnesses death can almost feel it. One who interprets murder, must be a murderer. One who sees life as gold is the successful one. One who treasures knowledge takes advantage of the opportunities that will make one knowledgeable.

A Loss?

Everybody wants to win, nobody wants to lose, correct? Sooner or later, even though some people deny it, they do lose. Losing separates the ones who succeed from the ones who fail. The difference is the one's who accept losing, are failures! The ones who look at the loss and move forward from it and never backtracking are the ones who succeed. All of my friends are successors, none are failures. If I hang out with failures, it might rub off on me and in this time of my life I just can't have that. The way I see it is that error happens to everyone, but the one's who succeed are the one's that improvise. I will always improve and strive for success!

Stress

Stress happens to everyone. Stress does not pick and choose whom it attracts. It occurs when there is a strong amount of work, temper, and energy being drawn within a human being, but not able to let it all out. Stress is not a good feeling. I've heard stories that lead to death from stress. Why is life so stressful to some? Some people take life more seriously then they should and that all builds up towards corruption. Don't get me wrong, life is a very serious matter, but not every thing in life is needed to be taken so strongly. Relaxation is key. If you feel that work is building up on you, just sit back, take some deep breaths, and relax. There are many things nowadays that can help relieve stress. Life doesn't have to be jam packed, it can be approached differently. A massage can help you, not only relieve stress, but think about the situation and other options through or around it. Life comes at you fast, and when it does, it is always good to have a back up plan or idea of were you want to take it.

News: Presidential Debate

Tonight is the third and final presidential debate between John McCain and Barrack Obama. This is huge. This is the finale before voters put their choices to the test in November on Election Day. Are you a registered voter? Have you been watching the debates? Where do you stand in society? Can you answer these three questions? At least one of them positively? If you can't, then you have a serious problem. We are in such a crucial time, that every little part of the economy, and what the economy does, counts. Every individuals opinion counts and the votes do matter, avoiding the fact of the electoral college process. America needs change! We, as a whole, are part of this change! We need to make the effort to make change. Are you the one who always argues about the world? Well this is your time to make change, stop stalling, get up and vote!

Thinking Forward

One should think forward, not presently, because the present changes everyday. An individual should also never think back because it already happened. Why look back, when the past has occurred? Why look at the present, when it ends every second? The idea is to look past the present and look for the future because the future holds your faith. We live for the future! We don't live for what happened in the past and what's currently happenning. We live to succeed in the future. If we lived for the past, we'd be stuck in time and most likely lost in the mind. If we live for what we get in the present and take it like it is, then life can hit us with a consequence that we won't know the answer to. Live for the future, and the future will guide you towards happiness.

The Perfect Place

The perfect place. Everyone is treated as equals, not just spoken about being treated equally. People will have the right to speak of what they believe and why believe it, without any negativity floating their way. Religion is a freedom of choice and no matter what religion, people look at each other the same, for religion is not a factor in determining the kind of person someone is. Race is not a problem here. People see one another as human beings, not as a color. Color is ignored, for color is not an importance. Such a diverse world, such a new world, such a perfect world. Money is not an option for it is not used. Everyone is so friendly with one another as if they were best friends for years. Sharing is common, and greediness is rare. For to make it in this world, an individual has to be the best person they can be throughout their life. No murders happen, no one dies of natural causes. Diseases doesn't exist, for everyone will live their entire life with wit. No troubles are found, and success is always near. Can this world exist? Is it possible? It seems so fantastic, but could never happen. For the world is full of jealousy and greed, and that limits others abilities to succeed. It's nice to dream for this can never be real. The perfect place...is false.

News: Hip-Hop

Hip-Hop having a role in this upcoming presidential election in November is huge. Hip-Hop is working its way into politics and its making an impact. Hip-Hop artists and rapper speak if their opinions within their lyrics. These lyrics attract the young people, also known as the young voters between the ages of 18-25, because they most likely to listen to Hip-Hop and dissect the points the artist is trying to make. I recently attended an even in Manhattan that was titled "Hip-Hop's Role in the Presidential Election." With all the diversity in the elections, from women to an African-American man, the young voters votes are critical. Therefore this discussion was about the role that Hip-Hop plays in the young voters choice. This is the young peoples generation, this is the time for the young voters to finally stand up and let their voices be heard, loud and clear!

Mystery Woman

There she was, standing about five inches away from me. I can almost feel her, but I don't. I can almost love her, but I can't. I smell her silky smooth hair as it caresses my smell senses. I hear her whisper the song on her i-Pod that she is listening to. I notice her hair slowly move down her back as she unwraps her pony tail. I get an eager smile on my face thinking about running my fingers through her hair. I thought about it a lot if I should speak with her, but always held back. I think today is the day I finally have a conversation with this beautiful mysterious woman. She is not like other women, something about her makes her different. She enjoys life and all its qualities. She loves to ride this subway all through NYC in the morning and night commute, for she works in the city like myself. I see her every morning, I sense her presence every night. We take the same part of the train every day and night. Does she notice me like I notice her? Or is it a coincidence? Could be a coincidence, yes it has to be, but a coincidence for two months straight, sounds a little odd, no? Makes me wonder if she feels the same. Does she notice I'm only a couple of inches away from her all the time she rides the subway? Can she feel my breath on her shoulder in the crowded cart? Can she love me? Does she notice my expression when I take a sniff at her hair? Does she see my eyes attached to her lips as she lip sings? Does she realize how close of attention I pay to the unwrapping of her hair as it slowly works its way down her back? I will not speak with her today for I have many questions to be answered. As those questions begin to be answered, more questions will come up, leading to a never ending chain of procrastinating...

I Am Who I Am

I am who I am for who I am makes me different. The ability to be different is all upon my decision. Difference is the key to success, for success only comes to the different. The likes of the same people, does not attract many. Difference withstands being like others. The world is about being diverse. For a different quality doesn't come in many quantities. I am different because I choose to be different. I want to be pointed out in a crowd just by my appearance, but also be able to back it up with my diverse intelligence. To be noticed, an individual has to be different. If you're in a class and the teacher asks a question, to be different, an individual raises their hand. To stay the same as everyone else, they keep their hand low. In places like a University, a person who wants to stick out, will get involved with all they can and do their best to get involved even a little in other areas less interesting to them. A regular person will sit in their car during their brake, they will go home right after classes are over, and will not get to know other individuals who might share the same interest as them. Difference will advance an individual in school, in their career, but most of all in their life.
