Do You Read the Newspaper While Traveling by Train or Bus?

Newspapers

By Remez Sasson

A few days ago, I traveled by train out of town in the morning. The train was very crowded. All the seats were taken, and a lot of passengers, including me, were standing.

When I looked around, I noticed a strange sight. Almost everyone on the train was reading a newspaper, the passengers who were sitting, as well as the passengers who were standing. Everyone was engrossed in reading the newspaper, nobody looking around, or through the windows,

It seemed as if all the people were unconnected to the surrounding world. It looked as if everyone was living in another world, unaware of what was happening around them.

Let’s discuss what was actually happening.

The people on the train were reading a newspaper. Many news items and articles in the newspapers are negative news. Not that there aren’t good things happening on the planet, but since negative news are sensational and awaken emotions, they sell better. Therefore, you find a lot of news about disasters and problems in the newspapers.

Blasting Past Obstacles When Chasing Your Dreams

By Francisco Mejia

Sometimes you just want to quit.

When you’re working on a large goal there will definitely be times when you suffer from setbacks and inconveniences. Not only that, but you will even feel that you’re not going anywhere, that you’re simply not making any progress.

It’s around this time that you think to yourself: this is too difficult. I’m going to quit.

Other factors might influence your pessimism. Maybe you feel that you’re getting older and that you’re losing energy. Or that you’ve been trying for much too long without seeing results. There could even be the chance that your dream is too big and it’s completely unrealistic to expect yourself to succeed.

Clever Crows Prove Aesop’s Fables

By Remez Sasson

Crow and Pitcher Aesop's FablesI went for a walk yesterday in the afternoon.

As I was walking, I saw a crow flying with something big in its mouth. It landed not far from me on the pavement, and started walking toward a big puddle of water along the pavement, made by the heavy rain that fell during the morning.

When I looked a little closer, I saw that the crow was carrying in its beak a big slice of dry bread.

To my surprise, it walked straight into the puddle and dropped the slice of bread into the water. It waited for a little while, and then turned the slice of bread on its other side, letting it soak in the water from both sides, so as to make it soft and easier to eat.

All this happened too fast, and since I was absorbed in watching the crow, I didn’t have the time to photograph what it did.

How Do You Manage Your Time?

By Remez Sasson

How do you manage your time, or maybe you don’t manage it at all, letting other people and circumstances dictate to you what to do?

If managing your time seems a big task, why not try to manage just a few hours of your day, maybe even just one hour for a start? If you are not be able to manage your time at your job, do so at least in you free time, where you have more control.

Managing your time means giving priorities to certain tasks, and leaving for later other, less important tasks. It is certainly more pleasurable, and requires less effort to read your mail than working. It is more pleasure to watch a movie than study, but this does not make the task done.Click to Continue Reading the Article…

What to Do When You Don’t Like Your Job

Earn Money

By Remez Sasson

If you ask 10 people if they like their job, more than half would probably say that they don’t like it.

If you don’t like your job, how can you work and do it well?

Everyone needs money, and therefore, has to work in order to get it. This means that a lot of people are doing something they don’t like doing, and are therefore, unhappy.

There are people, who can afford to quit their jobs and look for something else, even if in the meantime they are not earning money.

There are people, who are confident in their abilities and have courage to seek a job, doing something they love doing.

There are people with very strong ambition, who will do anything to achieve goals.
