Book Review: Its not How good you are, its how good you want to be

Hello again, faithful minions, creators of all that is good,dark and questionable...Okay sorry, I forgot to take my pills....lets start over... Hello again, how are you all??? Today I would like to do a book review, because, I read the book; "It's not how good you are, It's how good you want to be," by Paul Arden and it really catches you. I know the name is a lot to say but trust me, this book has you thinking. I must admit I don't usually pick up books like Paul Arden's much, but this was great. Basically, its a guide to help you be a better thinker and person, job wise. But not only in that way, because it shows you ways to think outside of the box. For example, one of the chapter beginnings, ask, "What is mean't by the word 'creative'?" and honestly most people don't realise that that word means something different to different people. This can be a big problem if you are trying to sell an idea to someone. So he says that one of t...

WTF Fridays - things that make me go, "WTF?!"

Hi, here I am again and let me start off by saying that yes I do realize that its NOT Friday, and you know what...I DON'T CARE HAHAHA. Okay maybe I am a little crazy today. Anywho to get to the point today's WTF Friday is about things that make me want to question myself, want to jump off buildings, stab myself or others repeatedly with a knife (which says alot because I don't believe that violence solves anything). In other words today post is about things that make me go "WTF?!" In the world that we live in there are a few things that drive me nuts. Number one (at the moment) is Mpreg. Now those of you who don't know what mpreg is its basically when in a story or show or anime or whatever, guys or a guy gets pregnant... This annoys me because we all know that men can not get preggers, so you know what I don't want to read about it, I don't want to see it, it drives me crazy...wtf! Number two on the list is people who try to tell me what to do all the...

Sighs and hopes

Hey, hi, hello, how are you? Today has been a very strange day for me. I write this and I can feel an emptiness forming inside of me. What am I saying? The emptyness came right after I found out that my brother was in the hospital. He was sick for a while now and I didnt know what to think about it. I just wanted him to get better you know? Now he's in the hospital and his blood pressure is low. They are going to keep him until its back up again and mom is staying with him. It is the first time that its just my and my other brother home alone. Its strange you know...I am so used to at least mom being home with us. I am writing this now because I need to let out what I am feeling. I need some way of screaming out and letting it all out because right at this moment all i want is my brother and mom back home, so I'm letting out all the negative energy that I am feeling. Right now what I really need is a break from everything. So I am going to put on my thinking cap and I am going ...

WTF Fridays - US BP OIL SPILL

Today I am going to start making some blog changes. From now on Fridays will be...drum roll please.....WTF Fridays!!! I wanna talk about things I have seen or heard that made me wonder and not exactly in a good way. So now for out first WTF Friday, I would like to talk about the BP oil spill. Yes sadly I think I will have to go there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLiqvZOP8TY&feature=related there u can read about the reason behind the leak. So now I come to the reason this deserves a WTF Friday moment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77pBcf0o444 *sigh. PUTTING BLAME...THAT'S WHAT THIS UNFORTUNATE DISASTER HAS BEEN REDUCED TOO. POINTING FINGERS! Last night I saw part of the news and they were putting all the blame on one man. Just like in the link. I kept thinking what is the point of doing that. They had the man sitting and listening while they all criticize him. That was the WTF moment. Right now the focus should be on how to fix this. Now is the time when they can show how e...

Change Maybe??

Well Today I am a bit under the weather and i keep asking myself how can i make this blog more interesting. I'm trying to update alot, I think it would be a nice way to put down my thoughts and feelings...so I went looking around at other blogs and I saw some were like really colourful or drawing you to it in some way. Some had lots of pictures, etc. So I was wondering what can I do that brings my blog to such a professional level as those... I really shouldnt think Like that though because I should be working on what makes my blog differ from the norm. Maybe its where I'm from, or how I speak in my blogs. I dont know yet. I was watching Shane Dawson and he's really big on you tube if you dont know him, and he was being very positive about life. I like when he does that, take somthing that maybe random and change it around and say something that makes you feel good. You know like love yourself or he encourages you to talk about your problems etc. Not all his videos are like...

“A Journey of a thousand miles begins with one single step”

Hello my faithful minions…I mean…avid readers and how do you do this lovely morning? Today’s word to the wise is about making that first step, which I, Samantha Salandy did not want to do a while ago. It was very simple really, just take credit and make a call. So simple but foolish pride was getting in the way of my dreams. I do value my pride, but do I value it enough to let it get in my way? Do I make it a ‘crutch’ whenever I don’t want to or am afraid of doing something? I don’t want to, but I realized that I was using it as a ‘scape goat’ as they say. So for today, I’m putting away my foolish pride, and at least for today, I’m going to do what my heart and my head works together to tell me. I should do this and the only thing that is stopping me is myself. I’m going to prove that I really do deserve to be working with all my friends in our soon to be business. So until next time my comrades, good bye!!!

“Learn to find beauty in ordinary things.”

Greetings my name is Samantha Salandy and this is my topic for today. I’m so happy that you take time out of your busy schedule to spend some time with me. Many warm wishes go out to you from me, but let me not bore you with pleasantries. To the topic at hand shall we. Today my lovely readers I would like to talk to you about learning to find beauty in everything you see, in all the things around us. Right now I’m wondering how that sentence/saying relates to my life. These are the words I used to get me through my day today. So I want to be a fashion designer. Is it really worth it? Am I dropping my dreams of becoming a writer/ novelist (thank you shigure) at the door? How do I know where I’m supposed to be? Who I am supposed to be? Oh am I straying? Sorry! Learning to find beauty in ordinary things…how does one go about doing that? It’s easy…you have to first learn to love and appreciate the simple things in life you have. Once you show appreciation for what you have, no matter how...
