Venus: Earth's Not-So-Twin Planet

Venus: Earth's Not-So-Twin Planet Venus, our closest planetary neighbor, has often been called Earth's twin due to its similar size and mass. But beneath the thick veil of clouds that shroud the planet lies a world far stranger and more hostile than anything found on Earth. Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system, with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. This scorching heat is caused by a runaway greenhouse effect. The atmosphere of Venus is crushing, 96% carbon dioxide, trappi

Spread Good, Not Evil: Cultivating Positive Influence

I n a world often saturated with negativity, the mantra "Spread Good, Not Evil" resonates deeply. This blog post serves as your guide to fostering a ripple effect of positivity within your sphere of influence. Understanding the "Evil" We Need to Counteract Before discussing "good," it's crucial to identify the "evil" we aim to combat. This evil isn't always about grand, malevolent acts; it manifests in everyday negativity: gossip, pessimism, bullying, bias, and isolation. These seemingly small a

Do not argue through text messages

Texting can be a great way to keep in touch. It is such a common way of communicating that it's easy to forget that it has some very serious limitations when it comes to conveying the finer points of human interaction. Texting is not a good medium for resolving conflict. Text messages lack tone of voice, facial expressions, and inflection. This leaves the reader to interpret what you've said in their own way and therefore, the meaning of your words can get lost. You could be being sarcastic, but without the inflection in your voice, they may not get that. You could be being direct, but without facial expressions and tone of voice, they might feel you are being rude. For example, if I you text your partner "OK," they might think you are annoyed or uninterested because it sounds short or abrupt. In reality, you might just be saying "OK" to confirm that you understand or you are agreeing to what they said. Another example, say you've had an argument with your boyfriend/girlfriend and

I am not made of steel

I am not made of steel I am not made of steal Yet I am always the weak link Like the gold-plated jewelry You drape around your neck So gracefully I break I am like clay Your words shape me Painfully Your actions cut into me Like harsh hands Only meant to break me Maybe I am not good enough Maybe you think of me as cheap stock Because You rip me apart Out of frustration Not being able to mould me into what you want You break me Again And again And again Or maybe I am just scraps Something used Bu

YOUR COLLEAGUES ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS

HR managers tell us that their company has a friendly environment, and that teamwork and honesty are appreciated. So you get the impression that everyone is your best friend. Don't believe it. We all tend to compete with each other, and it would be just naive to pretend otherwise. There's nothing wrong with that. Just don't treat your coworkers like friends, don't expect too much from them. People actually work to get money for their job. It would be a mistake to think that they can sacrifice their salary for the sake of friendship. Base your relationship on a different model. Be friendly, have fun with your colleagues, but above all remain professional.

NOT KARMA, BUT I

I'm sorry if I sometimes seem touchy, I'm just really protective of my child. You see, I had her early and since then it's just been the two of us. I was 15 when I got pregnant. The usual teenage pregnancy story, girl meets boy, boy dazzles girl, next thing I knew, I was 15 and pregnant. I lived with my mother who also had me early. You'd think she'd protect me, tell me everything was going to be alright. Wrong! She threw me out of the house. I would have died. I had no skills to speak of, no mo

But one day, a twist, a plot untold, A love story with edges rough and bold. She glimpsed his eyes, a captivating sight, Yet, in his world, she was out of sigh
