Did you know that everything in life requires a positive and a negative energy before it can have balance? It is the friction of the two that ignites that brings about change,

Note: This list of Einstein quotes was being forwarded around the Internet in e-mail, so I decided to put it on my web page. I'm afraid I can't vouch for its authenticity, tell you where it came from, who compiled the list, who Kevin Harris is, or anything like that. Still, the quotes are interesting and enlightening. Collected Quotes from Albert Einstein "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction." "Imagination is more important than knowledge." "Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love." "I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details." "The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax." "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." "The only real valuable thing is intuition." "A person starts to live when he can l...

In a world of shared history, the echoes of 9/11 resonate as a poignant reminder of modern-day tragedies, the fragility of life and the enduring spirit of peace. As we revisit the solemn assault of September 9, 2001, when New York City (and the world) was forever changed, let us not merely dwell on the darkness of the hijacked twin towers, but actively cultivate the light within ourselves—the unwavering beacon of peace. In a society tainted by the shadows of evil, we hold the power to safeguard our hearts and minds. The key is to deliberately and unapologetically invite peace within. With that, I encourage you to consider these transformative steps:

Disclaimer: I am not a happy girl. Never has been nor will I ever be. There, I said it. Speak the truth and the truth shall set you free. I know myself and I am perfectly fine being who I am. Phew! Now that that is out of the way, I don't have to pretend to be something I am not. Let me explain why I make such a strong and seemingly negative statement about myself. In my experience, most "happy people" behave in mean-spirited ways and go around throwing out labels such as happy, negative, positive, pessimist and optimist. I swear, I am going to find a way to replace such seemingly harmless yet demeaning and derogatory terms for describing people. Like Margaret Thatcher once said: Power is like being a lady, if you have to tell people you are, you aren't. So if you have to act like you are happy, positive or optimistic, are you really? My philosophy is that people should never let them selves look good or feel better at the expense of another. Yo...

What is Success? The Universal definition of the word itself is: 'The accomplishment of an aim or purpose." The reasons most people struggle to become successful is because they do not have an aim or purpose.  They want the results or the benefits of the aim without the aim itself.  You see, if you go about throwing a ball in the air without aiming at the net, by chance it may fall through the net. But nine times out of ten, I guarantee you; it will not even come close to the net, let alone falling through it. Too many of us go about life aimlessly living our lives by chance. Even the Bible tells us that by the sweat of our brow we shall eat bread. Meaning, one must do something purposefully, to get what they want in life. Without further ado, here are the three reasons people struggle so much to get success:

Some people are going to like you and some people aren’t, that’s just a part of life.  They may have very strong and valid reasons not to and then they may not have any apparent reason at all.  Given the facts of life, we must then set ourselves up to be more in favor of being liked than not liked.  I know a lot of you will say I don’t care if people like me or not, but the fact is you do, whether or not you want to admit it.  It is a God given right to be liked, so why wouldn’t you care? Unless; of course, you don’t believe in God—which is a completely different story.  So for those of you who do care, and those who don’t want to admit it, I want you to pay close attention to what I have to say.  Here we go:

Dear members of the Black community, With the utmost respect for the principles of #Individualism, it is imperative that we impart a valuable lesson to our children – the importance of dressing not only for success but for life, and for their seamless integration into society.
