Life through my eyes

In life, we all try to seek the approval of the persons around us. We want to be liked, loved, respected, praise and cherished. However, there are some situations where persons will not value you even though some will pretend to value you. For these situations, I will give some tips to help you know when you're not being valued You always have to initiate the conversation. Sure, conversations are good and everything but if you are the one always starting it that should be a major red flag. Conversations are a method in which people share values and attitudes with each other. If you are the one always starting the conversation with your friends or group of colleagues it means that these people do not value anything that you're saying. Sure, they may go with the flow of your conversation but when it comes to giving their input it is often short and to the point, as to end the conversation quickly. This manoeuvre is used to get out of your way as soon as possible because ...

In Life, there are moments which if we had the knowledge of the situation or even paid attention to would fair better or avoid any unnecessary problems within our life. Some of these moments are common for every human being and we share similar backgrounds and characteristics. So here the objective is to impart some knowledge to the youth or persons who need some guidance with there lives. 1.      The world does not revolve around you.   Many persons have this view that the society or the world must cater to all their needs, wants desires, pain, and happiness. What they fail to realize is the world does not care about them. In fact, it may not even recognize their existence as they are just seen as a statistic. The world has its own rules, regulations, and standards. Everything on the planet must follow these principles and failure to do so will result in the individual being left behind. 2.      No one owes you anything . Peop...

Hello again everyone! I have returned again unto you. I have been busy with exams and I was in the Jamaican Parish of Manchester visiting my relative. Currently, I am at present in search of employment to serve my family and pay off my student loan. While I was in the countryside, I couldn't but help notice how beautiful Jamaica really is. You understand I live in Kingston and the sole matter I see often is concrete buildings, roads, cars, pollution and people; not to say I don't like people, but they tend to be exceedingly aggressive, uncouth, untidy, disorganized, scandalous, vicious and selfish. In addition, Kingston tends to be a plaza filled with high crime rates and poverty which means high stress rates for the dwellers. So I said to myself, I need some relief from all this stress and went to the cool Parish of Manchester to chill out from the heat in Kingston. While I was in Manchester, I could take in the beauty of God's creation; trees, birds, flowers, the stars (I...

In today's world there is high levels of violence occurring in every imaginable location affecting both young and old. The amazing thing about the world is that we adapt by providing security in our homes, businesses and schools to continue our daily lives. However, when it comes to religious institutions, there is no sign of security of the members or church to feel comfortable. Constantly there are reports of criminals and terrorist attacks on religious institutions such as churches, mosques and synagogues. These institutions usually cater to families which means there must be children. So this begs the question, are religious institutions safe? Well let us examine the facts. I attend a christian church in Kingston, Jamaica and somehow I am not satisfied with the safety that my church offers. Recently a member's vehicle was stolen from the church's parking lot during service. The member was extorted of a large sum of money from the criminals to return his vehicle in a saf...

The church today is one of the most powerful institutions on this planet. It governs our daily lives; sometimes with force or psychology.  However few people know they operate even in this day and age. Well,  it's time now. Here are somethings which most people don't know about the church or Christianity. 1 Doctrine Doctrine is the belief system of the church. When you're baptised into a church, you're baptised into their doctrine.  That means anything they believe you believe in or anything they do you do. For example in some churches, baptised members speak in tongues but in another church these rules don't apply. So remember church equal doctrine. 2 Open mindedness This is an area where the church fails in. You see, the church doesn't allow for open minded thinking.  This would be diabolical for most Christians. However, the bible does support open mindedness.  Where? Joshua 24:15-(And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord,  choose you this day ...

Since the beginning of the world murder was a common thing for human. In fact at the end of this sentence, ten people would've died already. We have last week and this week the number of international murders in the new s from the navy yard in Washington to the attack on the mall in Kenya. Not to mention numerous murders that are constantly happening worldwide.  This begs to wonder what is wrong with this world and what could drive people to do these things? Even though you may think that you have no part to be blamed for murder in society,  we do in fact contribute to it. We are all murderers. This may sound like harsh statement but it is true. We are murderers whether or not we pull the trigger of the gun. Every time we hurt someone's feelings we are committing murder.  Every time we see the needy or those who require our assistance and refuse to assist them, we kill them. Every time you fire your employee who can barely make ends meet, we become a murder. The world h...

After watching this video, I can't help to wonder the amount of things that occurs within this small island. Imagine in some communities people are living in fear, poverty and destruction all around them. This video highlighted many things that I was not quite aware of. The level of corruption that existed within this state is too embarrassing. The administration should take this as a sign to change in the country’s appearance on the world stage before this crime problem runs out of control because this can greatly affect our tourism sector. I was still taken aback to see that even at the airport corruption existed at high levels with their so called advanced technology for drugs and gun detection.  They even claimed that the airport was world class. Sigh. Jamaica, will you ever change?
