Hopefully this video will change your mind. Sponsored by AT&T, this public service announcement titled “Close to Home” shows the dangers of taking your eyes off the road even for a second. There are definitely dangers that come along with reaching for a fry in your McDonald’s bag, or taking a sip of steaming hot coffee on a bumpy road, but texting while driving is considerably more dangerous. It puts everyone around you at risk; it takes more than a split second to focus on your phone’s small screen, so it’s more than likely that a ‘quick glance’ takes much longer than you think....

Maybe they were right though, age is simply just a number and we all know people that seem much older than they are and older people that we would think would know better. In saying this, I do feel like things somehow make more sense than they did ten, five or even a year ago. Throughout my personal journey, here is what I have loved and learnt before hitting the ripe age of 30....

After more than a year of having to take drastic measures to secure our safety as well as those of our loved ones, it’s not surprising to find that some people would choose to hunker down even when faced with issues that don’t pose any mortal danger to them. The pandemic has challenged us to become more resilient—a good thing—and even pick up an additional useful skill or two.[1] However, the flip side presents us with a potentially unfortunate side effect—that it could have altered our risk-taking behavior....

“Simple,” some people say. “Performance is getting the job done. Producing the result that you aimed at. Nothing else matters. There are no prizes for coming second.” Of course, there are such prizes, but we’ll let that pass. It’s still worth thinking carefully about the prevalent idea that only delivering results counts as acceptable performance. If you don’t reach the objectives, may be you haven’t performed well enough. This is a seductive way of thinking....

This concept isn’t as simple as it looks on the surface. Much like any habit, there are particular ways to go about tapping into the power of positive thinking and to be thinking positively on a daily basis. What Is Positive Thinking? Positive thinking is precisely what it says. It’s a series of habits and thought patterns that make you see things in a more positive light.

1. The first night panic The journey to your new home is exciting, and it is great meeting all of your new housemates for the first time. However, once you have unpacked, total panic sets in. You can’t stop thinking “Why did I do this again?” Home can feel very far away during the first few nights in an unfamiliar location. If you are feeling scared, consider going out to meet new people....

I’m pretty shy. You wouldn’t know it to watch me – I’ve learned how to handle most of the superficial stuff that makes up day-to-day interactions – but deep inside I’m pretty scared of talking to strangers or making a spectacle of myself. But when I walk into my classroom, I’m completely at ease. I’ve never experienced more than a second’s hesitation in front of my students. At the beginning of every semester I walk into my classroom, look at the 33 strangers looking back at me – none of whom have any particular desire to be there, and wouldn’t if my class didn’t fulfill a requirement – walk straight to my lectern, and start talking....

I don’t want to get too much into my personal and family life here — suffice it to say that we’re facing some situations that promise to emotionally scar my step-children for life, and minimizing the damage is obviously the first priority. Dealing with it means often reacting to immediate situations, and where kids are involved you can’t schedule dealing with interruptions for later or plan around them. There’s an emotional toll, as well, that makes the trivialities of everyday life and work rather harder to face....

Of course, that’s not true. You can still make new friends even if you find yourself in a situation with no friend in sight. This happens when you move to a new city, break up with someone that was your only friend and lover, or make important changes in your lifestyle. Here are important steps that can take you from being lonely to having the friends you want. Understand Loneliness and Shyness Loneliness and shyness can cause misunderstanding and misinterpreted feelings....

The truth is, identity theft can happen to anyone. If a thief’s intent on stealing your identity, he’ll do whatever he can to get his way. Of course, it’s those who are careless with their information and data who place themselves at the highest risk. If someone really wants to steal your identity, the least you can do is make them work extra hard to do so. At any rate, if you happen to become a victim of identity theft, all is not lost....

How we dress is a fundamental way to gain confidence within – if we know we look the part, then we’ll also feel the part. Apart from preparing sufficiently, what we wear is the key to showing we mean business and giving ourselves the best opportunity to score that dream job. You Only Have 10 Seconds to Make a Great First Impression – What You Wear Matters the Most First impressions can have a huge impact, especially when it comes to job interviews....

Most of the pieces are now in place and it should be smooth sailing! Then, unexpectedly, everything slows down. There’s a temporary machine malfunction at the factory that produces the cloth for the cushions. You’re frantically trying to find a material replacement but, it is a no-go. It feels like you’re butting your head against a wall. All you have for your effort is a headache. Yup, been there done that!...

As a result of having our eyes glued to the television for hours each day, we waste our valuable time watching all the latest reality shows and sitcoms when we could be using that time to do something more constructive with our lives. I would tend to agree that the average person should cut down on the number of hours, but I think some TV is actually okay if utilized well....

Multitasking for Instant Gratification Multitasking is inefficient and unproductive. However, our brains are geared towards this by default. But why? Firstly, we have a wandering mind. Case in point: I’m sitting here on my bed, and as I attempt to write this article, my mind is wandering; I’m thinking about going out for a drink with friends. But, I’m mindful of this distraction – this is crucially important – but more on that later....

Where am I going in life? Where am I supposed to be going in life? And to answer your questions, here’s what the great writer and thinker, Christopher Morley famously wrote: Where Am I Going? Is It the Right Direction in Life? There are many times in life where one does not know what comes next or where to go in life. The realization that you are lost and don’t know where to go, or that you don’t like where you are going often comes as an epiphany....
