Poem #2

Onto the sea
I sailed my boat
And prayed that it
Would stay afloat
From dawn til dusk
From dusk til dawn
In search of loveI drifted on
What happened then
I don't recallI think it was
A sudden squall
For when I awoke
I thought I died
At the sight of an angel
At my side
But lucky for me
That was not true
For I found love
And love was you.

Academic success

In the world we live in today, education is a vital part of succeeding, but is having an academically competitive atmosphere a help to us the student or will it hinder our studies? The reason one becomes a student and further ones education is to live a happy and successful life. But, does the key to academical success reside in a competitive atmosphere?

Being in a competitive atmosphere does not mean that a student will push his/ herself to their limits and try to surpass themselves or everyone else. A competitive atmosphere is a fuel of sorts to motivate the student and that’s about it, it does not help in anyway at all in most cases they can destroy a student. In order for us to succeed, we need to be in an environment that we are able to cope with. A competitive atmosphere will only lead us to think “In order to succeed I need to compete”. But that thought is totally inaccurate, do not forget that students are human beings and we have feelings and emotions just like everyone else, and a competitive atmosphere will only lead to stress and doubts in our mind, we will be more concern about competition between our peers rather than concentrating and doing our best in our studies and scholastic activities. Placing us in an environment suitable to our personality will lead to better results. School is just like the workplace, if an employee does not feel content with his work environment his work will be less effective than if he were in an environment suitable to him, in this case both the employee and the company loses, the employee loses since he is not happy, as for the company it loses its production because the employee is not working to his full potential. The academic environment is the exact same thing, if we the student are not happy with our surroundings we will not be able to work. Why not? Because once us, the student is not happy or cannot cope with our surroundings, we will go into a depression phase which will lead to rejection at everything we do and straight to failure and just like the company, our society and economy will not be able to flourish due to the failure of students. With the pressure that is being put on us nowadays: exams, social status, trying to fit in etc. Do you honestly think that having an academically competitive atmosphere will help us, the students? No, not at all it will only add insult to injury.

By definition, happiness is an emotional or affective state that is characterized by feelings of enjoyment and satisfaction. Thus, we the student cannot work to our full potential if we are not in the state of happiness or content with our surroundings (peers, environment etc.) even if we have an academically competitive atmosphere it will more likely hinder us than help us due to the lack of satisfaction to the student.

What is anger?

By definition anger is a strong emotion; a feeling that is oriented toward some real or supposed grievance, it’s a state: the state of being angry. But what does anger do to you? Not only anger blinds your, but also stops the way you think and you become another person. Just like the Hulk, when a human being gets angry he/she can destroy anything, not only material things but also the feelings of your love ones. We know different kinds of anger but it can be separated into two categories: short term anger and long term anger. The difference between the two of them is quite simple, short term anger lasts for a couple of minutes or hours, this is when someone says something negative about you or the ending to your favorite show got messed up. Now long term anger is much more complex we see this type of anger mostly when you lost someone or something in that genre it can last for months or even years.

But how can we take control of our anger? Anger can lead to many things, such as stress, doing something regretful etc… Anger is something hard to control. Why? Because remember anger is an emotion and emotions are close to impossible to control. So if we can’t control it, all we have to do is channel the energy from our anger to something positive, in other words use it as fuel for your motivation, whatever that motivation should be. For example, when you play sports for example let’s say basketball; if someone dunks in your face or keeps scoring on you, you will get tired of it and it will anger you forcing you to do better than that person, during that instant you get an adrenaline rush and you feel like you can do anything in the world. Well we can use this example in real life, using your anger to beat the obstacle creating that anger. So whenever you feel upset channel that energy to fuel your motivation and fight that anger.

Love Poem #1

Your lips, your eyes, your soul

Are like a work of art,
The most creative thing of all

Is your beautiful heart.
If you were a painting,
No colours could express
The beauty deep inside you,
A rainbow, nothing less.
If you were a sculpture.
The clay could hardly make
Your figure of an angel
Without one mistake.
If you were a euphony.
No choir could really sing
All the beautiful music
Your eyes could possibly bring.
So here I am, an artist,
With inspiration beyond belief
But to capture such rare beauty,
I'd have to be a thief.
