Future

The Futurist Manifesto tells the story of the founding of Futurism. Marinetti writes the finding as a real life event. One night Marinetti and his friends are sitting together discussing various topics, but overall not being satisfied with life. They feel consumed by life, distracted by cars on the street zooming by. Suddenly they get a jolt of energy to take on the night. Marinetti wants them to forget the old ways of life and start something new. Step away from what life is currently and try…

Ant’s effort to labor for its future. “Why bother about winter?” said the Grasshopper; “we have got plenty of food at present” (Martin, n.d.). Therefore, when the winter season arrived, the Grasshopper was unprepared and hungry, while the Ant was full and content. At that moment, the Grasshopper knew, “It is best to prepare for the days of necessity” (Martin, n.d.). That is the storyline of one of Aesop’s Fables, The Ant and the Grasshopper (Martin, n.d.). As a future educator, whose reasoning…

Albert Einstein once said,” Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving”. My junior year at Godinez confronted me with many obstacles that tested how responsible, creative, and dedicated I was. As a student, I did not know what I was capable of until this year.

As I look back on my junior year, I am able…

It was a brisk summer morning in late August. The clouds were a dark shade of gray and were casting its shadow across the city of Cleveland, yet a ray of sunshine managed to squeeze its way past the darkness and onto Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.

My eyes were filled with rheum from an eye infection I was dealing with, but that was not the problem that…

I realized that in order for me to start the next chapter in my life I have to quit “re-reading” the last one. Which is why I deleted all my social media accounts. I noticed myself putting more time into face book or Instagram then I did my relationship with you and my family and also my school work. I also knew that if I kept those accounts I would sooner or later ruin my relationship with you because it is way too much drama and also because the first sign of an unhealthy relationship is a…

Humans feel as though they can avoid the harshness of reality by choosing to “focus” on the inconsequential thoughts that will eventually bring them back to suffering. The Buddha taught the Eightfold Path to liberate people form their false sense of eternal suffering and guide us toward a meaningful existence. The most crucial step towards enlightenment is explained by right mindfulness; remember to…

The present study investigated the possible relationship between self-defeating humor and the use of humor as a coping strategy. It also predicts that the use of humor as a coping strategy is negatively correlated with self-defeating humor Meaning, for example, if an individual has a lower self-defeating humor score, the lower the usage of humor as a coping strategy. However, the results of the present study do not support the idea of a negative correlation. Instead, there is a weak, but…
