• First thing in the morning, they fill their minds with the latest exposes. The latest politician caught in graft. The latest violence in the world. While maneuvering through traffic, they listen to the same bad news on radio. And during lunchtime, with office mates, they become expert political analysts. They discuss which clown said what foolishness. And every day, they arrive at the same conclusion:  our country is going to the dogs. After work, they go home and unwind in front of the TV set. What will they watch? A review of the bad things they already know, blow-by-blow, in full action, color and sound effects.

    And we wonder why we’re miserable. And we wonder why we’re getting sick. And we wonder why we’re not earning more money. And we wonder why we can’t start our own little business. And we wonder why we’re not growing spiritually.

    May I suggest a new way of feeding our minds? Every morning, I read the Bible. I hear God tell me that He loves me and has a wonderful plan for my life. I open myself to the Pacific Ocean of blessings all around me that day.

    When I ride the car, I listen to inspirational tapes- either a motivational talk or uplifting music. When I meet my friends, we don’t complain about how bad the country is.

    Personally, I also start tiny businesses and create jobs. Coup or no coup, businesses will go on. People will still need products. Because complaining is useless. It’s total waste of energy, time and saliva. I’m too busy making this country will be great by the little things that I do every day. This country will be great if you’ll make it great. If everyone lights just one little candle, what a bright world this will be.

  • Watches help parents save money and concerns otherwise they will receive big figures phone bills and other issues caused. Years ago, few people had cell phone. Today, walk outside and it seems like everyone has a cell phone glued to their ears – including elementary school kids. Are this all right? I mean give such a sophisticate device to 10 years old or even less is really reasonable? Apart from the phone abuse or lost issue, the physical hurt of the early use of cell phone to a child has been reported. Cell phone causes eye pain, poor eye sight and sleeplessness. Many children stay too late with their cell, just text or talk with friends through their cell. Other potential danger is still uncertain but surely it exists. I know the parental concerns of safety. Their primary purposes of giving their kids a cell are keeping them in touch when needed and calling emergencies. But we can not rely on a cell and think nothing will happen to them and children also need independence to grow. From my part, cell phones should not give to kids until they can use them and understand well why they get them. As to the fact of many parents choose cells as the presents to their kids, my advice is save your money and the troubles by giving a watch instead!

    A watch reflects history, fashion and the characters of its wearer. Each type of watch has hundreds years of history, and own a watch means own a piece of history. Tell your kids the history and culture behind the watch when you give them one. Watch represent fashion. Watches have been marketed as a trendy accessory or a gadget in a variety of designs and colors. Though trend has nothing to do with kids, but they will find ones they like. Also a watch can reflect the characters of its wearer. Choose a watch has the proper type and style to your kids helps mode healthy and positive characters.
