communicate and expand our minds. It is not only sickening that we quickly dismiss others, but also inconsiderate that we do not take in account of the others people’s view, resulting in disadvantage for others and ourselves. For these reason I live by a personal philosophy that is mentioned in behavior psychologist B.F. Skinners book Science and Human Behavior, which sheds light on what we shouldn’t do, “dismiss those who do not agree with us as a victim of ignorance” (B.F. Skinner). While some…
A personal financial plan is an essential part of financial success. This plan must include financial goals for every stage of life. Without financial goals to work towards, money will be squandered away frivolously. These financial goals will affect every aspect of financial decisions that are made. Once these goals have been set, it is important to revisit these goals on a yearly basis and make adjustments if necessary. The first financial goals to set are short-term goals. According to…
I find myself becoming increasingly unsure about my life every day I go to work. I feel myself stagnating. I no longer enjoy the simple pleasures that life has to offer. School is one of the only ways to better myself and I am finding that taking classes while working full-time may have been more than I bargained for. I am made abundantly aware of my lack of significance in this world with every passing moment. I try to find some sort of greater meaning in my actions every day, while working,…
Financial planning is important, simply because financial issues affect our lives greatly. Unfortunately, there aren’t many classes available in our primary or secondary education that teach us about personal financial planning. So there is a need for financial literacy at all levels.

No matter where we are in the cycle of life – just starting out, somewhere in the middle, or approaching retirement -…

In our conditioning as human beings we have set up societies that rely on these superficial needs and our lifestyles are comprised of actions that continually destroy the very part of the natural world that we all need to stay alive. Sadly, our actions are at the expense of our own well-being and the…

I spent 2 months to decide and took many advices from others. For personal health promotion, I am doing my best to care about personal health promotion. I do not drink and I will try to advise other and stop them from binge drinking. For example, last time my family was holding a Chinese style party called the party of school begins. My…
However, everyone is faced with diverse experiences and their own unique challenges that construct their own perspectives and the way they perceive the world. It’s inconceivable to believe that my own personal opinions and views would not come through in my writings as I reflect on my travels and life experiences. I have found that my world view and perspectives on life are continually moving like the needle of a wandering compass. Every journey and chapter…
The three personal strategies are to avoid the procrastination, to prioritize your responsibilities and to practice the four A’s to improve my time and manage the stress.

you’re working out, you’re going to feel good.”, this quote was written by Jason Statham and it was the quote that helped me to constantly stay on focus of my goals. Staying motivated while trying to improve areas on wellness is key to success. For my personal wellness project I tried to improve in three areas of wellness. I have learned so much in these past couple months improving myself in these areas. I realize how good it feels to do things that are better for your body. While doing things…
