There are plenty of people in this world rushing themselves to get luxurious lives. There are desire driven and satisfactory souls. In this huge crowd, one wants to get benefits of comfortable life and strive hard to achieve them. Some stay hard working forever and few others use networking. All of them have started their life from Square one. Square One in my context is poverty or luxury. I am a...

Paying It Forward Will Eventually Come Back To You

By Deric Wortham on March 10, 2016 / 18,648 views

A couple of days ago I was standing in line at the bank. A young girl (college age) was behind me with a Mason jar 1/3 filled with coins. I commented to her that she was supposed to wait until it was completely filled before cashing it in. She said that she didn't have any money in her account and that she had to cash it in now (it probably totaled $5.00). I remembered being a poor college student myself...

I Went To Wal-Mart To Grab Three Things, Then This Woman Asked Me To Stop

By E. Poole on March 10, 2016 / 2,811 views

I went into Walmart to grab three things: Fruit Loops, eggs and waffles. Healthy, I know. This woman was asking people for something and my goal was to bypass, get my things and go. She asked me to stop. I figured she was just asking for money and I already decided that I was going to politely let her know that I didn't have any cash on me. I never carry cash. Typically I don't mind giving a few bucks...

I Am Not Smart, But Diligent

By Glory Fu on March 07, 2016 / 19,228 views

I’m an English self-learner; English is not my first language. Today I am an English teacher. I would like to voice that failures are not disastrous. Have faith, keep moving on, and never give up, you will see your hard work pay off. I was a slow learner when I was little. Before five, I couldn’t even speak in full sentences. Unlike most other children, I seldom interacted with others; I...

Just Kids

By Tink on March 07, 2016 / 5,352 views

I had never expected such an answer from my son. I was 28 at the time and my son had just been admitted into Madison Lakes Elementary, and was sitting on a park bench with me, telling me all about his friends there, all of the teachers... He was extremely excited, I could tell. Looking up into the cloudy blue sky while I listened to him ramble, I was having a hard time thinking of questions to ask...

I Am Perfect The Way I Am

By Pamela on March 03, 2016 / 7,037 views

To be empowered, I am willing to see that I can evolve and change the aspects of myself that I am not happy about. Change is always good. Aspiring to be more than I am in life is worthy goal. Each day I seek to be a better person that I was the day before. However, in my efforts to change and grow, I re-mind myself today and every day, that I am perfect the way I am. Today, I re-mind myself, I Am Awesome, and...

The Bucket List

By Tootiredtifunction on March 02, 2016 / 7,465 views

A couple months ago we have this guest, and let's call her Edna. She was an elderly, very sweet, very grandmotherly lady. On the day of check in, it was busy weekend and we were at 90% occupancy. She wanted me to step away from the desk to show her the room she had booked. I had no problem with this, and lead her around the property. She kept looking nervously at the ground. Me: Is there a...

Rejection

Hi, my name is Amber. I'm a 18 year old senior, and this is the story of how rejection literally turned my life around. Ever since I was in the fourth grade, I've had a crush on a boy, (let's call him Jack). When I was in the sixth grade, I befriended Jack, in hopes that he would become my boyfriend. I was so shy, that I never got around to asking him about a...

My Struggle

"Forgetting and Forgiving both are the natural Human instincts" But we are tend to forget easily and it is hard for us to forgive quickly. Everyone wants the other people to think or behave as they expect, if not they don't accept those people as their friends or closed ones. But we seldom think that the other people also expect the same attitude and behaviour from us. We...

“Life is not out to get you despite the things you have been through.” Do you know what depression is? Is it just another word for sadness? Sure, it’s that feeling you get when your childhood dog passes away, or that sting in your heart when the person you love most turns their back on you. But what is it really?
