Cerebral versus emotional

Some topics are very prone to become inflammatory. Most people have strong opinions on subjects like religion, politics, race and sexuality.

Once this has happened, the debate is over. [...]

The concept of justice

Justice is a man made concept. It does not exists in nature. Man created justice in an effort to establish harmony in society. Throughout the years, rules and regulations were written into laws by which citizens are expected to live by. These laws are the basis of our judicial system. Laws, rules and regulations are [...]

Don’t major on the minor

If we are to be passionate about something, why not chose to be passionate about something that will benefit us directly or something where we can have an impact.

Respect, where does it start, where does it ends?

Should a terrorist be respected? Should a killer be respected? Respect, where does it start, where does it ends? Profound questions not often addressed.

Perception is everything

Reality is what we perceive it to be. Where one person will see ugliness, another one will see beauty. Where one person will see a stumbling block, another one will see an opportunity.

Where success gurus fail

I have read more than my share of Success Gurus’ works and for the better part, they have failed in their mission of telling us how to succeed financially. I believe that they failed because they simply forgot their own debut. If you are communicating with someone who’s in debt or dirt poor, don’t teach [...]

A rapport is established when there is mutual acceptance and willingness in the part of the parties involved to reach an acceptable conclusion on a specific matter. So long as this rapport is not [...]

How to have plenty of energy

Millions of dollars are needlessly spent every day on vitamins and other supplements to have more energy. People will irritate the heck out of their nervous system drinking tons of coffee to get that much needed extra boost to get them through the day.

Reflexion on anger

There are no good or bad emotion, what makes them either good or bad is the way that they are used. That is especially true in the case of anger. Anger can save your life in time of crisis but if left unchecked, it can also bring a world of misery. Anger usually happens when [...]
