"Well done!" This is a saying that everybody would like to hear. A work well done deserves to be rewarded or valued. But why it has not always been true that everybody does not have work done well? From a personal standpoint, I am convinced that there actually exist significant contingencies and constraints that often intervene to explain to high and low moments that keep someone from having well-done comments on their work.

Those who live also thrive or struggle at times. Involving in different categories of activities at a time, it turns out that their likeliness to excel at one work at a time remains slim. It makes sense that whenever someone finds themselves engaged in multitasking, or embracing several categories of activities in one period of time, the chance to perfection on either one of them is slim, as stated above. Without damning the multitasking lovers, it is a common thing that single tasking at one time yields better results than doing the opposite. The one reason behind this, I believe, lies in the ability of the brain to remain focused and concentrated. For instance, the likeliness that an athlete who excels at several sports master all of them is slim. Another player who dedicates his time in repeating, revising, and playing the same sport will increase more skills on this sport and consequentially is more likely to master in this domain than his peers. Our main concern here is “who, among these two categories of athletes, actually is the greater player?

From this previous analogy, it turns out that those who embrace more challenges and/or get involved in a larger number of activities get a competitive edge in life. This is not because specializing on one thing at a time is dispirited, but my opinion leans on the creativity aspect of challenging oneself beyond one’s limits. It’s a very common that those who live always have a project, a new task, an existing work, or something of creative to slog on. An athlete who plays different categories of sport never feels wrong-weary about either one of them; instead, there may be a feeling of pushing forward to achieve the highest points on each one of those sports. A student who is multi-major or concentration at college may feel less worthy than another who is single major when comparing their results at college. However, life will prove a different result. A multi-majoring or concentrating person seems like to be subject to more opportunities than the one who chose single-major. Tough the salary-wide aspect may reveal differently, since being an expert or doctor in one’s career may be results of focusing on one thing at a time.

In the end, those who live are in constant business, always in the mood to achieve something or to pursue a goal. They forgot about gossiping about others, stalking the neighbor’s lesbian daughter, or being minimal. Those who live often forget about their happiness. They instead work to make others happy by the results of their activities without earning a luxurious income from their input. Categories of people who live include farmers, artists, certain professors, small businesses’ owners, preachers, most athletes, liberal arts students etc. I guess you never dared to ask yourself why society has not usually lifted those people up for what they do, but indeed has often treated them as middle or lower class citizens. At least I am glad now you know that they don’t really care about society either, for they are multi-weaponized to face, conquer and live their lives.

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.

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.

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.
