Whether it’s acting, bartending or washing dishes, you have to learn to love what you do. One way to achieve this is to technically act like any explorer would, which is to be thrilled by something new every day (or treat everything as such even when it’s not new).

It can be argued that Judas did not only betray Jesus but also…

The key aspect discussed in this essay is the idea that people may not always be who they seem. In the novel “The Strange Case of Dr.Jekyll and…

Shakespeare’s Macbeth is a playwright written between 1599 and 1606, at the time of King James I’s reign. During the time period in which King James I ruled England, the “divine right of Kings” doctrine was in place.
