Vice-versa

By Anjali Mohapatra on March 22, 2015 / 3,773 views

Vice-versa!!! There is a proverb, 'History repeats itself'. It is true, indeed! If we analyse retrospectively, we can connect the past with the present. Since this world is so vast, and millions of events occur in a fraction of second, we can only high-light a few incidence, which will satisfy the proverb. Let us start from the Stone Age. In Stone...

Desired Destinies

How many of us want the destinies given to us? How many of us even know what that is? We think we might know (It’s our destiny to be together/alone/this career, etc.) but do we really? I’m not sure we ever find out because it changes, just like everything else. And how many of us want everything we have? I don’t mean having everything we want…..few of us do, and even those who think they have...

You Are Your Best Teacher

By Andrew Mucci on March 20, 2015 / 4,831 views

The most value I have provided to a company was skills I decided to learn on my own. By my own I mean my own time, my own effort and my own money. I have always come out learning more than if I had learned through someone/something else. For a long time, I thought the best way to learn was for a company to give me an opportunity. With the opportunity, I could have the experience and then learn from it. That...

More

As I have gotten older one thing I have realized is that I really want more out of life. Now I am not talking about bigger bank accounts, more money, a huger house, or a fancier car. What I really want more of are the things that money just can’t buy. I want more of the things that strengthen the spirit and nurture the soul. I want more of the things that bring us closer to love, closer to others, closer to...

Ida's Gift

When I was eleven years old, my grandmother Ida was dying from bladder cancer. I didn’t know that at the time, but I knew she was very ill. One day, a friend and I rode our bicycles over to her apartment to visit. She was lying in bed and not feeling well, and I was patting her arm and saying the things that I thought you should say, which was mostly, “Don’t worry grandma, you’ll be okay” Pat,...

Kids These Days!

By A Proud Mom on March 14, 2015 / 5,170 views

My daughter (12 yo, 7th grade) is on the cross country team at her middle school. As with any sport, the cross country team has its "stars" as well as its less talented athletes. The top runners for the boys are Ethan, Michael (8th grade) and Kenji (7th grade.) Yesterday was the first track meet of the season, and when she got home, my daughter told me a story that made me want to cry. According to my daughter,...

Homes

I saw an interesting news story the other day. It seems that ultra-rich billionaires are now spending millions to buy up huge mega-mansions just to tear them down. And then they are spending many millions more to build even larger giga-mansions in their place. I shook my head sadly when I watched this and thought of how crazy this world has become. I also thought back to the very first place I had as an adult. I...

This is my current view. I just returned from a shower after a nice game of basketball together with a group of beautiful people. My room has been cleaned and the sun outside is shining. Decided to open the window to let in some fresh air, immediately my room is filled with amazing sounds. There are people laughing, some playing football nearby, even the birds are chirping-about! This might seem like a silly...

She's The Best

By MW on March 12, 2015 / 4,436 views

I always screw up. I've never been that good at anything and I am definitely not a natural leader. I make more mistakes than I can count, and although I try to make up for them, I always mess something else up soon after. I was always a screw up and I was at the point of ending it. My friend was the only thing that kept me going, I loved her secretly since I met her. She had been with someone else though and I...

Lend An Ear

So, I was up in the Phoenix Park today taking photos of the Bambi's (deer) when I wandered into a bit of a mad scene, to say the least. A man was sobbing uncontrollably and was clearly distressed. Families out walking and others in the park scuttled past him awkwardly trying to avoid him. I watched this for 10 minutes before going over to him and asking if was he okay. He clearly wasn't. His name was Derek, and...

The Man On The Bus

He moved slowly down the aisle of the bus after depositing his coins in the box up front. Though heavily clad in a long dark overcoat and hat, his disfigured face from bulbous tumors was in plain view, as were his hands once he removed his gloves. People stared then looked away, though whatever force it is that makes people want to watch a disaster made them look again and again when they thought he wouldn’t...

The Date With Mom

By David Musser on March 12, 2015 / 2,687 views

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, "I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you." The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That night...

Ladies: He didn't fall in love with you because he hoped you would change and be more like him.

Don't consume yourself with worry that you all together forget to enjoy and invest into your amazing relationship! You're not broken so you definitely don't need fixing. If...

The Long View

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 10, 2015 / 1,645 views

I had just finished shoveling out my driveway, my porches, and a walk path over to my daughter’s house after yet another heavy snow. It was the fourth time I had shoveled out in a week and I was wondering if my sore back was going to make it through the Winter. During two of the times the wind chill had been so cold that my breath had frozen into ice on my glasses and mustache. As I leaned my aching arms on my...

Lessons On LIfe

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had...
