When I Feel Frustrated

Trying to ignore what we feel about something makes us feel frustrated because we are not satisfied with our effort. We feel unfulfilled and if left unchecked it would eventually lead to depression. The feeling of frustration resulted from not being able to satisfy our needs, wants and desires in life. When we feel that we are out of control of the things happening in our lives, then we feel unhappy. We feel insecure and uncertain because we are afraid to face our fears. When we are in pain, we usually give up our hopes and dreams. It is easier to give up something that we are not struggling to get than continue to find ways to succeed. This should not be the case because persistence is very important during difficult times. In the event of crisis our perseverance would be our anchor to succeed. If we fail, it doesn't mean that it is already the end of the world. We just have to try harder in order to reach our goal and get what we want in life. Frustration is a feeling of disappointment or anger for not being able to get one wanted. When I am upset, usually I just keep silent and write everything I feel because I am not the violent type who would shout or throw things just because I am angry. I also cry to release all the negative feelings I have inside. But sometimes too much frustration can lead to depression. When I am trying to solve a problem, I get so wrapped up in trying to find a solution. Sometimes having many options is easy but there are also times that I am having headache just to find one alternative. There are even times that I spend my whole time worrying what would happen if I cannot do it. But once I am able to move forward, I also realize that there is no sense worrying at all. It is very important to have a positive mental attitude. When we are mentally drained, we make things appear worse than they usually are. We just need to take a break to reflect. We can understand that our frustration will just pass because a positive mind is more open to see solutions and answers than those being close-minded and feeling hopeless. When we feel that there is no hope, we stop looking for remedies because we feel that it is already useless. So, we always need to stay POSITIVE. So, to end up my frustrations in life, I relax and unwind for a while until such time that I am able to get back in track again to find new solutions to meet my unfulfilled needs.

The most beautiful things in life:

The best and most beautiful things in the world are the things that we cannot see or even touch. They must be felt with the heart. If we haven't found them yet, we have to keep on looking. The most beautiful things are those things that teach us lessons to survive and move on with life. Often, we miss these things because we fail to see the beauty of simplicity. We are blinded with worldly ways and material things. It is how we live our lives to the fullest. Each day of our lives, we are given a new chance at life which make it beautiful. If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we won't let the world define us based on our physical attributes but on what God meant us to be. We can transform the world beginning with our own transformation. Starting with a good conversation with our fellow and being a good listener, we can make our lives beautiful. The thought that we are able to make other people happy in easing their burdens by simply listening to them when they open up to us is already a great sense of achievement. Sometimes it is also the other way around. When we find someone who is willing to sit and take the time to talk with us, we know we have found a good friend. Good conversations teach us to make time for others, sharing moments of goodness and creating long-lasting bonds. We are becoming emphatic not selfish. A life of peace and contentment is not visible to the naked eye, however it can be deeply felt within us. It cannot be bought but achieved. Expectations often lead to disappointment, but accepting what we have right now is one way of making our lives beautiful. It's good to be responsible in making decision but it is also good to take a risk even if it will lead to a big mistake. Last but not least is love. It is the most beautiful thing in the world because it is the greatest thing that we can give to one another. Love has the power to bridge gaps and unite enemies but I think most of us know this. However, we get so caught up in shielding the finest of a good life that we failed to notice and appreciate the intangibles; the beauty of priceless possessions in life! This article is heart-warming to read because of the value of unseen things that make our lives beautiful. It makes our lives worth living for because we are not only keen to material things but most of all in those things that make us happy and contented.

The Most Effective Way Of Teaching Our Kids To Spend And To Save Money

When we already have kids on their early adolescent stage, it's very difficult to motivate them to be more compliant to us parents. During this period, our children are older and more mentally and physically mature. So, we expect them to be capable of doing simple house chores such as making their beds, washing dishes, sweeping the yard, putting away clean laundry and even cleaning the house. At this point, our kids even start learning how to cook. To top it all, we are teaching them to learn how to spend money wisely. Many parents choose to give children a small amount of money for completing certain chores. By doing this, children are taught how to spend and to save money at a relatively early age. We can help our children learn about spending and saving by setting a good example of the value of thriftiness and having discussions focused on this topic. For example, letting our kids know the cash flow of the family. Then, let them help on the budgeting. List the things that need to be bought. Allow them to see which is needed or not. Thus, we let our kids realize how to separate the needs from their wants. Children are most likely to learn and take to heart these important money-related skills and values when they see us actually doing these things rather than just talking about them. Therefore, it is useful if we can let our children see us in paying bills and going to the bank to save money, and setting up and following a budget, rather than hiding these activities from our children's view. We can also have a piggy bank at home. We can show them that no matter how tight our budget is, we still allocate a small amount for savings. Having a reserved fund helps a lot especially in cases of emergency. We also need to have an open and honest conversations with our children about money so that they can appreciate the fact on how the family gets money, and how that money is spent to provide food, clothing, shelter, medical care, education, etc. By showing children that obtaining money requires hard work and a lot of effort, they will know how much money must be budgeted just to provide for the basics of life. Thus, parents can help children better appreciate the value of money so that they are less likely to waste it on useless things such as buying toys instead of food. Our kids may find it hard to appreciate what we go through just to provide them food and shelter. It may be easier for our kids to understand if money discussions are put into concrete terms children are more familiar with like spending money on a computer games. We can assist our children in understanding concepts like budgets by helping them set up their own budget. Thus, setting a good example still remains the most effective way of teaching our kids to be more responsible in spending and saving money.
This article speaks of the most effective way of teaching our kids to be more compliant and responsible.

Are men more intelligent than women:

What is intelligence indeed? Intelligence is actually the ability to perceive and retain knowledge or information. It is the intellectual capacity of humans to perceive, comprehend and understand. It enables humans to remember and gives humans the cognitive abilities to learn, to communicate and to experience and think. Is it true that men are more intelligent than women? According to some people men are more intelligent than women because they are more aggressive and decisive compared to women who always let their emotions dominate their minds. Aside from that there are many things that women cannot do especially in terms of hard labor. However, there are also some people who think that women are smarter than men particularly in decision-making at home. I am talking about how to budget to meet both ends. It is the woman who knows how to keep up the budget for the whole family. The role of man is to provide the needs of the family especially in terms of financial stability. But when talking about how to economize and stretch the budget, women are more intelligent in this area. Women are considered as wise spender compared to men, although there are some men who would argue to this notion because of their patriarchal nature. Men always wanted to have the final say especially at home. By doing so, they think that they are more intellectual and more powerful than women. On the other hand, women are considered as by nature emotionally weak. They cannot think straight when they are upset and they are too sentimental. They use their hearts more often than their heads because they show more concern for feelings of others. They are sensitive to what other feels although there are also some women who only think of themselves rather than on other significant people in their lives. But there are also some people who believe that men and women are equal not only in potential but also ability. Whatever men can do, women can also do especially now that men and women are given equal opportunity at work. Corporations nowadays are no longer headed by the male species. There are many women who are now leading the corporate worlds. It only shows that whatever men can do, women can also do. Thus, intelligence of men and women can no longer be measured by how high or how low is the IQ. It can now be determined through performance. Either men or women could be on top depending on how hard they work and how they persevere.
I write this article in order to lessen the status quo belief that men are smarter than women.

Importance of college education

In today's competitive world, education is a necessity. Importance of education for men & women is essential for bright future. Education play a vital role in the development & progress of country. Today education is very important for success. The success of development countries based on education. It opens many door of opportunity and allow us to explore every option available. Students who have completed their college education more likely to have more opportunities and better quality of life. Mostly, employers prefer to hire job-seekers who have college degrees. It is much easier for a person who finish college education to find a job and get promoted while on the job. A good education can be a way into a prosperous life. During the years of college a student will learn a profession(s) that will help them choose a career. College education is one of the best investments of time and money. That is why there are many preneed companies offering educational plans; for parents to plan the future of their kids before the need arises. It is a practical way of saving money for kids. Going back to the necessity of college education, people with college degrees are more self-disciplined and cooperative compared to those who are not. People who lack educational degrees have limited opportunities in life especially in terms of employment. College graduates most often have better benefits specifically in terms of entering higher-level careers with greater salaries. They are also the ones who receive promotions, salary raises and often given opportunities for professional growth and development. As a matter of fact, parents who are college graduates are more likely to raise children who will also have college degrees. The more education the child gets, the more choices and opportunities he/she will have. An educated person has more options, which often lead to greater success and happiness in life. Growth and development will occur in many areas, including decision-making, analytical awareness, reasoning, creative expression and more. Moreover, earning a college degree will greatly enhance your marketability as a professional. It makes you more marketable to a much greater range of lucrative career options. By earning a degree provides access to professional networking opportunities that are inaccessible to those who do not have college degrees. Furthermore, college graduates are typically more satisfied with their careers than individuals with a high school diploma because they are able to find higher paying careers, get into positions with job advancement opportunities, get hired by employers that provide generous benefits and able to work in fields and industries that interest them. It also leads to job stability because the unemployment rate among college graduates is considerably lower compared to the unemployment rate among employees with only a high school diploma. Thus, earning a college degree enables people to make better choices of their lives not only in having better job opportunities but also in launching new business.
I want to emphasize here the value of education especially in earning a college degree to meet the challenges of the 21st century not only about career choices but also concerning the reality of life.

SUCCESS

Failure happens. It happens all the time, to everyone, and sometimes can have a bad effect on us depending on the way we react to it. Failure, like many other things, is something we have got used to through the years. To some it has become a lifestyle, an ingrained habit we just can’t break if we don’t have the right mind set. The greatest example, when it comes down to failure, is the American inventor Thomas Edison. He failed more than 10,000 times (I am still amazed at that number!) before he created the light bulb. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. In fact, our knowledge is not enough, we need to apply what we have learned and willingness is not enough, we need to act. Problems are part of our lives. We need to be confident, start where we are, use whatever resources we have and do the best we can to succeed. Hard work, dedication, and the determination to achieve something can give us satisfaction. Success is not the key to happiness but the happiness is the key to success. If we love what we are doing, then we are successful. Success is not about money or material wealth, but more on sense of satisfaction. It is the process of undergoing failure to failure without even losing enthusiasm. If we want to make things better, then we are the only person we can rely on to fix our problems. Whatever happens, life is a matter of choice. Everybody deserves a second chance. We need to forgive and forget. Everything happens for a reason. Nobody is perfect. We commit mistakes every now and then. But it does not mean that we are bad. We learn from our mistakes. It is about giving ourselves a chance to get over our problems and move forward.

Time Management

Time is something that we can lose and never get back. People are always wishing they had more hours available in the day. Proper time management is something that can change our life on a fundamental basis for the better. Every daily cycle consists of a twenty-four hour period. This is one of those things that is what it is and cannot be changed. Even though we can’t control time, we can control how the time you have is used. This realization is the first step to being effective in your own time management.  Time management is important to everyone. It is the process of planning control over the amount of time spent on specific activities, especially in terms of increasing effectiveness, efficiency or productivity. So we have to manage time to develop our skill and thereby to reach our goal. It is how we plan our time effectively in order to accomplish certain goals or how do we spend our time on things that matter to us more. It is also how we learn to break down general tasks into specific actions or a simple tasks. Time management is setting our priorities in its proper perspective. We should learn how to distinguish between urgent and important in budgeting our workloads. In order to manage our time, we need to know how to plan, set goals, prioritize tasks, and monitor where our time actually goes. However, time management is not as easy as it seems because sometimes it is rather surprisingly difficult to practice. In fact, being busy does not always mean being effective. Sometimes people are hustling too much without achieving any output at all. The problem is on the ability to function more effectively despite tight pressures. Failing to manage time effectively can have some very unsatisfactory fallout such as inefficient work flow, poor work quality, and high stress levels. If we are able to have good time management, we can avoid unwanted consequences especially at work. Even inside our family, we can easily achieve our goals and the things that we prioritize in life. We need to identify what needs to be done. Moreover, we need to identify how we spend our time in order to improve productively. We need to find enough time for everything and use it effectively. Even if there are times that we thought that there isn't enough, time to do everything that we need to. We need to identify ways to improve our time management skills so that we can adjust our conventional behavior to reduce any time-related stress in life.  When we spend too much of our time on unimportant tasks; definitely we are not effective. In order to be effective, we need to decide what tasks are urgent and important. We can make a list of the tasks that we need to do. We need to make decisions immediately if possible. Do what we can do now and not wait for tomorrow because taking immediate action generates the motivation for further actions.
