The King. Winner of 7 majors, 62 PGA Tour wins and PGA Hall of Famer, but his life was more than about stats. He created and lead to game to popularity. Made the game look cool. Inspired legends like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods to dominate and win multiple tournaments like he did. But, I felt like he did a whole lot for people like me.

He taught the value of respect. Respect is something that we all think we should earn, but Arnold Palmer respected you whoever you are. He didn't care who you were, he would still listen and respect whatever you said or do. That is such a big lesson that I have learned from him. The amount of letters that he would receive and the amount he would read and send letters back is astonishing and just shows the character that the man possesses. THAT, is the heart of a champion on and off the course.

The charisma that he had is what made him so memorable to all of us. The cool, messy hair, really funky swing and his rye smile just makes him, him. He looks like a superstar and a man that can do anything that he wants to accomplish. He is the legend of all legends. He has the name "The King" for the reason and that is something that shall never be taken from him. He is the king for what he does on and off the course which makes him so special and so legendary in golfer's eyes.

Arnold Palmer, I just want you to know how much golfers and golf period appreciates everything you have done for us and the game. You have laid a foundation for this game that no one else could have done. You inspired a kid like me to go chase his dreams and do whatever I can put my mind too. The game will miss you so much and you will be missed. Send some birdies down from heaven for all of us okay?

Thank you, Arnold Palmer

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
