Student Loans
What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and breaking news is everywhere discussing that student loans have been forgiven and everyone who has outstanding loans will no longer have to pay them back? How would the rest of your day go?
It is funny that this is only a dream for many and tomorrow when you wake up, many of you will still be wondering how the hell you are going to pay that student loan bill due next month and the months after that. Was college really worth all the money it cost you? Do you really believe you were completely fulfilled and have the dream job you always wanted? Some of you are smiling because you have that and the others of you are leaning back in your chairs probably saying: If I knew this was gonna be like this I would have never went to college. Than there is the other known people who are smiling, not because they are not in debt, but are, and feel that at least they did get through college. They have hope that one day, that dream job will come and finally it will be their turn.
Well folks, you all have that one thing in common that you never realized.
Scenario: Someone knocks on your door early in the morning with a briefcase and some papers to sign that states on them that if you sign these papers you will be debt free of any debt you owe. I bet you think it is a joke, however, the man or woman giggle and say, "I am serious." You stop, lean your head back and say, "Are you serious?" and they hand you the pen as well as copies of the agreement proposed for signing. What would you do?
I do not care who you are, if you have any chance to not pay for something, you will definitely embrace that moment.
Student loan bailout may not be or may be good for this economy, but how will it affect future students? Will they be excited to go to college knowing that if there is a struggle in the end someone will be there to wipe their stress away? How many more students will enroll into college? Have you counted those numbers? Or better yet, let's think like the opposer: Why even waste time on a bailout that is never going to happen? Isn't this the dumbest thing you ever heard?

Being Myself
Growing up I have always been asked to make sure I show people who I am and be proud of who I am at all times. It did not matter where I went or whom I was with at the time, I made sure I presented no other person but me. If someone found me to be not of their interest, it did not bother me because I knew what one person does not like, another one will. In my eyes, you win some and you lose some.
Well, I am reading my articles this morning and I stumble across one that talks about being yourself in the workplace. It claims that being yourself can harm you from being promoted. Now, excuse if I am wrong, but if you don't be who you truly are than are you not lying? Is that not a sign of someone who is untrustworthy?
Never, wear a mask just to get ahead in life because one day you will be sitting in that office looking around that room all by yourself, just wondering, what the hell you have been doing. You won't be happy. Well, you will smile for those who are around you, making them think you are happy, but it is the alone time that is the most important. If you are alone and not happy with who you have become, something is wrong. Portraying who you really are not, just to succeed or overcome something in life will only leave burdens that will carry around with you for the rest of your life and there is no sense to carry bags we do not need. Right?
It is more honorable to refuse to hide who you are. Uniqueness is everything. Let it shine!

The Importance of Focusing on the Brain
The only weight that need to be measured is the size of a your brain. If you do not use it all than you should be entitled to be fired or not get a job. Intelligence is the key to staying on the job. Being knowledgeable is important in order to move up in a job. Having open communication whenever needed is proof that you are capable of being informative and how you translate the message is key to how you lead. If all these things fall in at least a 80% grading scale for you, than you deserve the job. If you are slacking and just trying to get through the day, you need to be fired. But what happens to those who do have a brain and don't get to use it because they are turned down or fired due to their weight?
What is overweight? Who created it? If it is not created by nature, it is just another opinion floating around wishing millions would believe (And they have!). Sizes and shapes are only important if there is is a REAL health risk. Many people who are larger do not have health risks. The biggest health risk for people who are not skinny is the stress put on them for not being allowed to be themselves in society. That alone can kill a person.
Scenario: The fear of walking in a room and everyone staring can create a health risk especially if it creates paranoia which increases stress; now you never want to walk in a room anymore which increases blood pressure when you are in public because you are around many people which put you at a high risk for a stroke as well as your immune system is now weakened, which means the stress can cause fatty tissues to grow around your abdomen and other subjective diseases can fight for survival in your body....Whoooo!
Do you get my point? Or did it just fly over you head? Catch this...
Now you are at the doctor being diagnosed with something...Hmmmm? If only someone would look at the brain. But wait... Is it too late to end first impression being everything with weight being one of the most important even though it is not mentioned?

Devaluation of Currency
During the nineteenth century inflation dealt with the devaluation of currency. Everytime there is an issue with the dollar bill, the taxpayers have suffered. Increase in cost of goods and services. The closing doors of companies whom are afraid of keeping the hired because of the fear of losing everything they have even though they alreasdy have enough to feed more than four generations of their own. And where has this gotten those who are at the other end of the sword?
They reach further down in their pockets and give more of what they do not have in hopes that one day they will be the ones holding the sword. At the necks of the innocent there is none whom is willing to say, "We must not take any more." However, there are those who play Peter Pan and Robin Hood fighting to the death. But they can't continue to do it alone. The majority is the power and the strongest, so don't let those who flash their gold and silver before you intimidate you. Money is not power; it is mere munipulation and once understood will not prevail any further than it is allowed.
If the entire world decided to sleep tomorrow trillions of dollars would be lost, but the need to spend that one dollar iches in the pockets of many. Ask yourselves why? I look in the mirror and ask myself every day. Why? And today on Easter Sunday I finally answered back, "I do not know." Forgiveness is unlimited.
Many of you are wondering what is being said here right now. Take it as you please. I know I do.

Who Is Held Accountable For These Deaths
More than 8,000 murdered in Syria and the numbers are still rising. When will it end? It sounds like there is a certain number that must be reached before action is to take place. What the hell is going on? Well when the research is done, you find the answers. The reason for the hold up is this:
Iran and Lebanon are Syria's allies. The UN could care less. China and Russia sides with President Assad.
The grudges and the dissagreements are not based on the protection of these people but on self-grief and personal pain from previous issues the UN did not vote on fairly with many of these countries.
Now ask yourself, are you really that pitiful to let these people die in the streets like this because of your grudges you hold?
How much are these government officials making off this civil war?
North Korea and The US
North Korea and the United States have never seem to be able to come to agreement on much and I don't believe they will anytime soon. This month is the month that will prove if North Korea prefer food to feed the less fortunate or enemies. As young as Kim Juong Un is, it is a reality he might be trying to prove himself as a leader from the light of his father and grandfather.
It is evident they enjoy being in the spotlight. They have not cancelled their rocket launch and may not intend to. What is the true story behind this launch? What is the real reason for the launch? I know this has been all over the media and it has been re-written a million times, but where is North Korea in all this and why are they refusing to cancel the launch?
There is more to this story than the media is providing and there is so much more to this relationship North Korea has with the rest of the world. History is only his-story and only those truly involved know the real answer. When will we get it?

Facebook Password Requests From Employers
SCENARIO: So, I am sitting in an interview and I believe that it is going well. I am excited and know I nailed every question. I know deep inside I have gotten this job. Then I am asked to provide my Facebook account information. What should I do? If I say no IT MAY HURT MY CHANCES OF GETTING THE JOB. If I provide it THEY HAVE ACCESS TO MY PRIVACY!
What should I do?
RESPONSE: I understand that you believe that having this information can help you learn more about who I am, however the site provides a password to each individual for a reason. With that said I will be more than happy to accept you as a friend on my page and you can have access to all activity that occurs under a FRIENDS status.
If they hire me, Great job! And if not, that company has just missed out on a great employee.
It is important that the choices we make in our lives reflect who we really are and social media outlets are key ways for employers to better understand who they have hired. However, there are boundaries to that and knowing them is important. Asking for passwords is key that the employer already does not trust you.
