New Year, New Hope!

Image
 I know that 2020 has been a rough year. However, there have rougher years and the world has faced worse than. I noticed that every time there's a economic crisis, war, pandemic, or any other hard , people talked it's "the end of days." There was a theory that the world was going to end on December 21, 2012. Only God knows when the world's to end already. I feel like that poem from the Tupac Shakur called A Rose From Concrete. In my opinion, the concrete represents hard times and the rose represents myself. I also think about the businesses that started during a hard time in history. For example, popcorn was introduced in movie theaters during the Great Depression. If I ever find myself going through a hard, I must either survive or thrive. I noticed social media that due to the COVID-19, couples are having something called micro weddings. During the Great Depression and World War II, couple did something similar. It was called eloping or a trip to the justice of ...

Universal Parenting Advice

Image
 I do not have children of my own at all. However, I was spending a lot time with my nephew while my older sister's at work and I learned on a lot. Even The Holy Bible tells children to obey there parents, it also tells a parent how to treat their the children. For example, there is Leviticus 19:29, Ephesians 6:4 and Matthew 18:6. They taught me that I should be careful of how I should treat young people in general. Here are some advice I would like to impart on you. 1. LISTEN TO YOUR CHILDREN! I put that in capital letters for a reason. If you don't learn to your children, the following will: a therapist, a counselor, their friends, their spouse, their boyfriend or girlfriend, etc. Especially when it's time to have "The Talk."  2 . Don't put too much pressure your kids. Your kids are already in enough pressure as it is from school, their peers, social media and the world. So parents why add more. That would just being up having high blood pressure when deali...

Range of Emotions

Image
So little and so much has happened since the last time I posted on this blog. Four years, on November 2016, Donald J. Trump was elected to be President of the United States of America. It was an election  I would never forget. I had never felt such of a range of emotions in my life.  I remember the weather was cold and cloudy that day. I went to my nearest polling place and voted. After I got home, my heart was beating for the rest of the day and night. I did not get much sleep that night either. There was a weird feeling in my stomach that I could not describe. Then...the news come. The next very next morning, I felt really depressed and scared at the same time. I was scared for not only the future of the United State of America but the world was well.I was scared that the United States of America would by something out of a dystopian novel like 1984 by George Orwell. I was scared for myself, my family and my friends. Now here's the depressed part. I felt bad both emotionall...

A company can run out of money to operate. 4. Outsourced. Your job could move to another country. 5. Automation. Now this is currently happening at an accelerated rate.

ATL vs. NYC

Image
I'm back! I have been doing a lot thinking and soul searching lately. I think it's time for me to move to somewhere else. I want to move somewhere where I can work on my arts career, somewhere there is move there is more transportation options and somewhere where I would have more to do. But, the thing is where do I move to. There are so many options out there and I need to weigh them out. I need to research their climates, cost of living, transportation options, nightlife, etc. So far, I have narrowed it down to two major cities in the United States. One of these cities I have been a few times and other I always wanted to visit. My first choice is Atlanta, GA. It is also known as Hot'Lanta, The A/da A, The ATL, A-Town, The Big Peach, Hollywood of the South, etc. I have been to this city a few times in my life because I have relatives there. Atlanta is also the state capital of Georgia. My second choice is New York City, New York. Like the city, I previousl...

Mindset: Rich

Image
I discussed what the poor mindset is on a previous post. Now I am going to talk about the rich mindset. There are certain things that someone with a rich mindset has. This is a mindset that I'm trying to develop myself. 1. They make their money work for them. 2.When opportunity knocks, they answer. 3. They know the value of self education. Product of the Post Before I go I would like to tell you about a about a book that I have come to like very much. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill was originally published in 1937. However, I am showing you a version that is revised and updated for the 21st century. Becoming rich is not just how much money you have but it is all about your mindset.

Mindset: Poor

Image
On my previous post I talked about how Alux  discussed the differences between poor people and rich people. It's more than just how much money do you have. It is all about the mindset you have. Mindset is defined as having a set of beliefs or thinking that determines someone outlook on life. Well this post is going to discuss the poor mindset. Here all 5 signs you and/or someone you know has a poor mindset. 1. They talk about other people not ideas. 2. They think small. 3. They have no goals nor ambition.  Product of the Post Before I go, I would like to recommend a book that I have heard about and checked of my local public library. Rich Dad, Poor Dad   by Robert T. Kiyosaki discusses how we were not taught about financial literacy in school.
