Choosing a Career

Dec 11, 2017

Choosing a Career

Children should not be expected to make a career choice with no information to base it on. In high school, children should shadow for a day at least three different people in three different careers. The teachers or counselor should have one mandatory family meeting with each student to discuss the student’s career plan. And, the student should be required to do an internship during the summer of their freshman year in college.


Students can have personal interests such as art or working with children, but they must be taught the critical career skills that are needed by the culture at the time before they adapt their career to encompass their hobbies. For example, we need computer programmers and nurses in the current job market. Students can go to nursing school and become pediatric nurses if they like working with children. Or, students can go into a technology program and become web page designers or computer graphic artists if they like art.

Don’t Be Afraid to Feel Emotion

1/20/2018 Don’t Be Afraid to Feel Emotion Do not be ashamed to feel different kinds of emotion. To feel emotion is human. Love, desire, anger, jealousy, disappointment, sadness and fear are only a few of the emotions we experience in life. It is alright to cry. But, don’t let these emotions cause you to do destructive or irresponsible acts. You can feel an emotion as long as it doesn’t cause you to do sinful behavior. Do not act on emotions that are destructive. Emotions are motivators. Make sure they cause you to do positive actions rather than destructive ones. If you are in love, work on developing a skill that will impress the person you are courting. If you are jealous, work on obtaining something similar to what causes your jealousy. If you are angry, try talking out your problem with your opponent. If you are sad, try spending time with people you love and appreciate the blessings you have. If you are afraid, be brave and confront your fear or try using a new strate...

The Spiral- Earth Day April 22, 2019

Earth Day  April 22, 2019 The spiral is an important symbol. It depicts both stability and change. We are always moving forward in time yet, the repeating cycles of life never end. As we spiral through time, we can adapt and change. The spiral is a good symbol for the cyclic passage of time. It represents the cycles of life, the ecosystems and human cultures through time. It shows the forward movement of existence while emphasizing the cyclic nature of that existence. A spring coil is a good representation. A person's faith is represented by a spiral or coil. The ups and downs of blessings or trials can be seen in the cyclic circular spiral. A person is never trapped in a repeating circle or closed loop because of the linear passage of forward moving time. Even when people suffer, the hardship does not last forever. Each new day represents another step through time and a step closer to the end of the hardship. The forward momentum of time can be a solace while the familiar c...

Love

12/7/2017 Love Women and men, do not be the paramour of a married man or woman. There are many single people in the world and you will find one who is right for you to marry. Marriage is sacred. It is an agreement that two people will stay together as partners. Do not cheapen yourself by being a subordinate lover to someone. Do not cheapen your respect for the object of your affection by driving him or her to take on a paramour. Do not cheapen the love and heartache you feel by turning it into lust. If the object of your affection truly is a worthy match to you, the friendship and connection you share can manifest in non-sexual ways later in life. Separate yourself from your temptation. God will help you find a worthy and available spouse. Find appropriate people and resources to build your life in an upright way. Time heals all wounds. It calms all desires. Given enough time, it can end jealousy because eventually the situation becomes irrelevant to your life. Time helps pe...
