Only YOU can Prevent Negativity

An article by Benjamin Spall called “Your Input is Your Output” is about the importance of the awareness of one’s mental and physical health.
The awareness and consideration of one’s welfare is essential, for example, “[y]our input is important. What you put into your body, whether in the form of food, entertainment, or knowledge will have a profound effect on what comes out” (Spall). This shows, one has his or her own responsibilities towards him or herself. Therefore, one must always remain mindful and respectful towards one’s actions and decisions. The world is tainted by the corruption and negativity of those who are content within the obliviousness and sinful behavior of the world. Despite this, the input and output from others could also be beneficial and positive for those who might struggle within this corruption. However, everyone is responsible for his or her own decisions. Furthermore, “[y]our output can only be as good as your input allows it to be. What are you consuming on a daily basis that can have an effect on your output, positive or negative”. (Spall). This reveals, one could consider and retain the information given by his or her peers; but the final decision is made by the individual himself or herself. In addition, one must also be prepared to accept one’s own consequences; and to not blame others for his or her own misfortune. On the final note, the world on which we live in; is filled with sin and the sin of others. Therefore, one must always remain humble and aware within oneself and overall welfare.

Maybe just one more chapter...

Happy 6th week of college, everyone! I can hardly believe how fast time flies. This evening, I read the Medium article, "What Are Mini Books and Why You Should Publish Them?” . I thought it made some valid points. I believe reading is essential. When one is a well read individual, it improves his or her abiltiy to relate to his or her peers. As it often pulls from literature, being well read also allows one to better appreciate various forms of entertainment. Reading a book that others also read or have read is means of social connection. Unfortunately, in today’s world, our time is limited. So many demands are placed upon our time, we often don't have the leisure time required to become fully engrossed in a lengthy novel. Despite this, there is a solution: mini books. (I, a lover of all things miniature, am intrigued by this concept.) "Mini books are designed to be consumed in one or two sittings, which is exactly what today’s busy readers love” (Thompson). Do ...

Technology, the Murderer of Small Talk? Guilty as Charged.

Howdy fellow Pioneers. Have your assignments been raging war with your sleep cycle? I've been staying up later than usual myself, trying to keep up with my classes. It's not all bad, though. I love me some sleep, but some of my assigned reading has been pretty interesting. Take this article for instance, "Technology, the Cause of Possible Mutilation and the Murder of Small Talk. I say, somewhat hypocritically, (I am using the internet right now, after all) that technology has done nothing for most people's social skills. I can safely say that Ijeoma Anaka agrees with me, as her article was all about the pitfalls of modern technology. She goes so far as to claim that iPhones, laptops and other technological devices are destroying our ability to communicate IRL (see what I did there? ;)) Is my beloved iPhone really ruining my health, or worse - my social life? That what this article asserts. More convincing might be my friend, Gabby, who is having...

Stormtroopers...The Mask Comes Off.

Happy Friday Freshmen Troopers! We've made it to the end of another week (whew!). I get a little bit slap happy by day 5, and start to have trouble focusing on my studies. Thanks to the internet, comic relief is never far away, and after my Principles of Management textbook, everything seems a bit more funny by comparison. "Troops (1997) Star Wars" Do you remember Space Balls? Well this Star Wars parody, I found isn't quite as funny as that, but it's still good for a laugh. I grew up with 2 older brothers who took the Star Wars movies very seriously. Being older than me, they usually controlled the remote. I must have seen the entire Star Wars franchise a dozen times at least. I never understood the grip it had on them, which might be why I enjoy seeing it poked fun of. There's just something comical about seeing those terrifying, armor-wearing Stormtroopers portrayed as bumbling, intergalactic policemen. Gone is their aloof, mysterious n...
