BLESSING COOLPublished a day ago in Motivation"We Call Them THE ELITE" | 1% of The 1%"
In the vast landscape of society, there exists a realm so exclusive, so elevated, that it transcends the comprehension of the masses. We call them "The Elite," the 1% of the 1%, a select group of individuals whose wealth, power, and influence shape the course of nations and the trajectory of humanity. In this personal reflection, I offer insights into the enigmatic world of The Elite, exploring their origins, motivations, impact, and implications for society at large.

I used to be a self-help junkie. Always coming back for more but never quite implementing the information before hopping on the bandwagon of another book, just to read through, underline thoroughly, nod my head vigorously in agreement, and then still be dissatisfied the next day.
Joe Guay - Dispatches From the Guay Life!!Published 4 days ago in MotivationWhat does youth have?
Experience of Youth Young age is the most beautiful and memorable period in everyone's life. It is a time when we realize our self-worth, seek our own path, live with passion, aspirations, and taste the bittersweet flavors of love. Youth is associated with unforgettable memories that are useful throughout our journey in life. Youth is a stage where we seek the most suitable direction for ourselves. Many young people have charted their own paths since their student days, nurturing dreams and beautiful aspirations, step by step building a career. For them, each day is a valuable opportunity that can slip away if not seized. They live with passion, overflowing enthusiasm, hoping to turn their dreams into reality. Many young people have to sacrifice effort, time, and precious emotions to become the individuals they aspire to be, seeking recognition of their own worth. They walk on a rocky path, their feet sometimes bloodied, stumbling but always getting back up. Some young individuals retreat hastily when faced with storms, burying their dreams. Additionally, some young people feel lost when standing at life's crossroads, unable to determine which path is right for them. Consequently, they become disheartened, feeling that the future is a fog-covered, meaningless journey. After four years of university, searching for jobs everywhere, and taking on various roles, they only manage to sustain their lives but not find happiness. At times, they blame themselves as "incompetent," "useless," living without a clear direction, wanting to escape far away. However, this is just the beginning of the journey to discover self-worth. Through diverse experiences and jobs, they will realize who they are and where they need to go. I have a friend who is a testament to this. After graduating from university, he couldn't find a career direction for himself. He applied to many places, eventually landing a job as an accountant at a manufacturing company. After a few months, he felt that the job was like "hell." He kept hopping from one job to another. During that time, he felt disheartened, exhausted, living like a "blind person" because he couldn't see his own future. He often participated in entertainment events as a way to relieve stress in life. He felt excited, interested, longing to organize communication events. Eventually, he found the most suitable and best path for himself, starting to build a solid career step by step. Currently, he is doing a job he loves and succeeding on the path he chose. In reality, we will encounter many similar stories. In the youthful stage of life, there are moments of exhaustion, discouragement, living without direction. Yet, at some point, you will discover your interests and abilities. From there, you confidently choose the most suitable path for yourself. Eventually, you will find a job you truly love, pouring all your effort into it, living authentically to make your youth meaningful and happy. Youth is a period where you stumble, make regrettable mistakes. You have felt disappointed, desperate when facing failure in work and life. At that time, your belief collapses, dragging down your passion and aspirations. You fall and want to give up on your journey. Moreover, you have behaved improperly, acted hastily, foolishly causing regrettable or fearful consequences. The reason is that in our youth, we lack essential life skills, valuable tools in life. Therefore, read many books to positively change and learn valuable lessons from your mistakes. As you grow older, you will quietly laugh at yourself when remembering the "foolish" memories of youth that changed your life. Youth is a process of understanding and experiencing love. You know the excitement, being obsessed with someone's image. You deeply love someone, passionately to the point where you see this as indispensable in life. You immerse yourself in the sweet, romantic moments of love. Or you bury the burning feeling of passionate love, suffering and burning in agony. Youth not only gives you endless moments of happiness but also leaves deep scars in your heart. You have tasted the bitter flavor of a broken love. There are times when you fall into a state of psychological crisis, isolating yourself in a dark abyss, ignoring the tearing pain. You are tired of letting go, losing the most valuable thing. After all, everything becomes an unforgettable memory that makes you stronger, more mature in love. Youth is synonymous with meaningful travel adventures. We, young people, love to explore new lands to discover with friends, immersing ourselves in nature. After each trip, we gain life experiences, valuable knowledge, understanding the value of friendship, and cherish the unforgettable moments with friends. In our youth, we are curious, eager to learn many new things in life. You pose many questions and independently seek answers. Many young people devote their youth to "great" research projects or wander around to gather new knowledge. In your youth, be curious and explore the things around you, backpacking around the world so that your youth does not pass by tastelessly, full of regrets. If it were easy, no one would call it a dream...
LE KIM HANHPublished 6 days ago in MotivationThe Dragon Beside Me
In the Year of the Dragon 2024, amidst celebrations of International Women's Day, I find my thoughts invariably drifting to a woman not widely known in the public domain, yet whose impact on my life mirrors the mythical dragon's strength, love, and determination. Dr. Eleni Theodorou, a beacon of resilience and wisdom, embodies the very essence of a dragon—fierce in her pursuit of healing, cloaked in the enigmatic magic of compassion. Her story, unlike the famed legends of Maya Angelou or Malala Yousafzai, remains largely untold, but it's a narrative that has inspired me deeply.

Anas Ahmed KhanPublished 7 days ago in MotivationEquality is a hoax
It is interesting to see women’s fight for equality and even though I commend their efforts, I don’t think they realize how complex of a problem this is. This article isn’t about women’s fight for equality, but rather a deeper dive into equality, what it is and the reality of it all. To put it as simply as possible, modern equality means a farmer can become president or, in other words, having the same rights and opportunities. You’d think such a prestigious position as president would be reserved for the high class of people with a long-standing family background, but in modern times the concept of equality has become just this, all epitomized by what is called “the American dream”.

Shazib SohailPublished 13 days ago in MotivationWhen the passion goes away
I watched a video where the person was talking about their perfect day. It got me thinking about what my perfect day would be like. I'm not sure why, but I just can't seem to think about anything. Thinking about my perfect day I'm not sure what that looks like anymore for me. I feel like I have no job or direction anymore. Where did all my feelings of joy go? My biggest concern is that if I don't know what my perfect day is, then what is my goal to get to? I want my days to be filled with joy, and happiness, and purpose. For some reason, I'm just not sure where my real and pure joy is. The question is where did I lose that real direction? Was it after my trauma? Or has it just come from age? We get into a routine of life, going to work, getting by, going through the motions. When that happens, we lose things. Such as feeling real joy, real happiness, real purpose.
