Are you a toxic friend?

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Most people you will encounter will be generally good. Everybody has a few unfortunately negative moments due to stress, worry, or a lack of awareness, but most people will successfully become positive influences upon you, whether you realize it or not.

Unfortunately, there are some people around who are toxic. Many of us end up befriending a toxic person at one time or another, even going so far as to marry them occasionally. They usually cannot tell that they are negatively affecting those around them. Rarely, people will call them on their behaviors and effect a positive change.

Be the Change

Monday, February 1st, 2010

“You must be the change you want to see in the world.” – Gandhi

Once upon a time, there was a man who knew the world would never be the way he wanted it to be. That is, it would never change if he didn’t do something to change it. As such, he set out to do great things like peacefully ending the unfair rule over his country.

Gandhi said many wise things, but none ring truer to me than the quote above. How true it is that we must be the changes we wish to see. If you want peace, be peaceful. If you want money, start making it. If you want fame, start networking.

This month’s quote, I hope, inspires readers to do something to change the world. Right now.
