HEART THAT BEATS FOR TWO

Seems like my heart's confusion grows

As life's sojourn continually goes,

The battle of voices strikes through

Should it be her, or you?

Loving as it cuts more like a knife

Hurts in times of uncertainty in life,

When one is torn between two lovers

With love for both that never falters.

To choose is a hard decision to make

Choosing one is so heartbreaking for the other to take,

My heart is torn between two women that I love

Equally dear, yet whom should I really love?

When I'm with one, for the other I long

Both are like melodies in a song,

Yes, I have a HEART THAT BEATS FOR TWO

Why is this so hard, now what to do?

POSITIVE IN NEGATIVE: UNDERSTANDING CRITICISMS

POSITIVE IN NEGATIVE: UNDERSTANDING CRITICISMS

In a sociological context, criticism is considered as an informal negative sanction. In the work place, it is inevitable not to receive criticisms for it is meant to realign inferior work towards quality.

Usually when a worker receives criticisms from his boss or perhaps from a co-worker, the usual response is that he gets upset, of not offended. One easily forgets the positive side of the criticism. The message could be that you should work harder and improve your performance.

There is a positive thought even in a negative criticism only if you keep an open mind. For example, you are tasked by your boss to make a communication letter for a company customer and your boss is not satisfied with your output. Perhaps the format of the letter is not within the standard or that the content is vague.

If you are going to let your pride take over your keen sense of humility and open mindedness, your attitude will prevent you from accepting sound ideas and will hinder your capacity to improve the quality of your work.

When confronted by a situation like this, the best thing to do is to respond positively by doing what is asked of you. You should not feel bad that you have been critiqued by your boss.

Constructive criticism maybe taken as negative if you view it the wrong way, but if you will only think of it in a positive manner there could be a positive in a negative. In this context it will drive you to do not only good but also to achieve excellence in your work.

WISH I COULD BE

WISH I COULD BE

Wish I could be like a famous mountain

With the trees and flowers dancing under the rain,

Helping the people forget problems and pains

On every smile I take, more friends will be gained.

Wish I could be like a wondrous sea

Symbolize unity just like a cup of tea,

Waving my own hands calling for somebody

Bounded by friends to live my life completely,

Wish I could be like an amazing falls and river

Life continues flowing on forever,

With a determination deeper and stronger

To reach the final end – for the better.

Wish I could be like a shining bright star

Twinkling and still sparkling from afar,

Has a colorful light guiding in every way

Making people's lives meaningful each and every day,

Wish I could be like a fascinating true man

Living in a world that someone else can.

UNWRITTEN

UNWRITTEN

Time is running so fast that it seems so hard for us to chase it

So long to bear, too short to ponder, things that is unwritten.

It was full of flaws and chaos, the road

The trees that saw it and they knew it was us.

A photo that captures that moment, it was me who didn't see the beauty

I was blind and naive to feel you fell for someone who was empty.

It's been a year, tears are still in you

Am I numb, Or maybe just faulty?

You brought out the wildest dreams I've kept for so long

Ignite the candle light into a wild fire.

You burn the dying coldness

And you freeze the melting hopelessness.

SUCCESS AND WEALTH

SUCCESS AND WEALTH

Most people equate success with material wealth. In this present time and age this interpretation is neither strange nor heretic.

Remember that less than one percent of the population controls the wealth of any random country. Meaning, you can count but the fingers just who are the wealthy scions and families who belong to the top ten richest persons in your country.

Well, it is not wrong to be rich, for as long as your rich were produced from the sweat of your brow, your abundant wealth is considered morally right and legit. How you handle your riches though matters.

Permit me to cite the Bible verse that says, Deuteronomy 15:4: “However, there need be no poor among you, for in the land the Lord your God is giving you to possess as your inheritance, he will richly bless you.”

God has promised prosperity to his people ever since He blessed Abraham with a son despite being too old at 100 years. This, despite also that his wife Sarah was already way beyond the child-bearing age of 88 years.

Truly, with God nothing is impossible.

God's promise to prosper His people was preceded by Deuteronomy 8:18 when God said: “But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant which He swore to your ancestors as it is today.”

Therefore, if our faith in God dominates our lives, His promise of prosperity will sure come, just like rain.
