NEW ERA MINGLES

Ahh The old school way don’t we all miss it? Don’t we miss the way we use to grab eye contact with a "purpose"? How we use to set-up a place and time to get to know each other without a way to contact each other. Therefore, leaving us plenty of curious questions such as- 'when is his/her birthday’? 'I wonder how his/her day is going?' 'I have to see her/him again'. Though we were so curious it taught us patience it kept us excited for the next place and time. Through experience I've notice the new era we live in today takes that respected role play away causing us to become impatient. Therefore, allowing us to steal time through the cyber world to ask or see what ponders in our mind. We became "lazy", unwilling to meet, uncomfortable with eye contact, lost in our own beliefs. For example, believing that if the person's messages do not amuse us he/she is no longer interesting but, the truth is that the time for curiosity has been interrupted causing us to be bored, irritated, clingy, perseverance. With that I ask the people of America to put the phone away during an encounter give an email instead of a phone number, set a place and time to meet to allow the chance of interest to sink in. Therefore, allowing a chance of a decision to show or not to show leaving a clear answer of 'I’m here, lets mingle' or 'it was nice to meet you, but not interested', without words but, with a common, respected sense. 'There was a time when we all accepted faith, let’s take a step back'- Jason Burnett

GOOD TO GREAT

Success vs. Failure the biggest match up in our lives, we all wondered at one point how the great was great and the good was just good. Yes, we all wondered the same question- how? The answer is simple, the great steers from advancements, as for the good, gives their soul for them. In another sense, the ones that became great focused more on what they shouldn’t do instead of the latest advancements. Although, till this day the ones who are great do not realize they are great because of their high determination towards rejecting all the nouns that can bring their success into the shadows. For instance, the good focuses on being great, becoming desperate and dependent towards the latest advancements. Therefore, by doing so the good is more likely to miss the down falls in the gorgeous picture they painted in their heads. Mistakenly, allowing them to remain or sink into mistakes and showing low progress reports. I believe it is the fear of becoming successful along with the urge to rapidly gain success that jointly becomes overwhelming for those that are not great, causing them to settle in a comfort between failure and success; in other words-'good'. But, keep in mind that it is not that we may fear either great or good, success or failure. It is the lack of strength/ willpower within the instinctive decision we all have rising within ourselves. For example, think of it as a volcano that will soon erupt and if neglected it just may be too hot to handle. With that I leave you with this- "Greatness is not a function of circumstance. Greatness is largely a matter of conscious choice"- Jim Collins
