Young & Strong

  The sun is setting and the weather is getting colder and grayish. September is here and no one is going to wake you up when it ends. Summertime has passed and Fall is here. Long live Fall. And with that, going back to school is an inevitability. Unless you’re homeschooled then you’re good, have fun with your hippy parents. No matter how was your summer, adventurous or monotonous, you’re back to the learning place where dreams are shaped and memories are made. Are you excited or dreadful? Hopefully the former. But either way, you should start getting ready for your back-to-school journey! With that being said; here is 8 things you should do before going back to school this year: 1- Take advantage of your last day: Just ‘cause summer is over doesn’t mean the party is over, you can still have fun and pocket the last days of freedom you have before going back to school. This is also a chance to hit up one of your old classmates since everyone is back in town for school. 2-Contact you...

Everyone is a gamer right now! Everyone is gaming! Games and videogames are no longer nerdy and not only the dorks play them! They became mainstream and they became cool! Well I was part of the unlucky few that were dorky and nerdy in their own little small sphere and I was really hooked on RPGs (Role-Playing Games). RPGs are games where you create a character and give it a class like a warrior or a mage or a monk,etc and then you add stats like strength endurance intelligence and so on and so forth. You personalize your character; sex, appearance and apparel and then give it a name and hit START. Usually you start with a level 1 character and 0 Gold and then you have to work your way to the top. You have to EXP (gain experience to fill a bar to level up) and you have to earn Gold. Leveling up raises your stats so you become more powerful or less susceptible to damage or have more chances to gain Gold, etc. Gold allows you to have better weapons, better clothes and better “living condi...

Recently, I've been reading a great book called Models by Mark Manson , it talked about attracting women through honesty, and by honesty he meant being honest with and to yourself as well as with your significant other, and he summarized it all by this sentence: " Stop Being Needy ", and I did encounter this term in PUA (Pick-up Artist) forums a lot, but there, they were just talking about being clingy towards a women will turn her off and some other advices about being alpha male and other bullshit. In the book, Mark made anything that wasn't true to yourself, and by that anything that was done  to just seek validation, to impress someone, or to lie about who you truly are, is Needy. To stop being needy you need to stop: Seeking Validation: We all seek validation once in a while to feel better about ourselves but by that you only harm yourself, since you don't appreciate yourself but wait for someone to give his approval to feel better. This ...

  Have you ever noticed how when you dislike or hate someone, anything they say or do come off to you as annoying or off putting or make you mad without any reasons behind it. Even if that person just acts normally and is carrying on with their lives. You just can't stand their every breathing moment! That, my friend, is what we call Hate Lenses ! A lens that you see the world in, which is completely false, and is swayed by your emotion. Let’s say that person I talked about earlier is talking about factual evidence. You’d still doubt it or dismiss it just because the mouth speaking it doesn’t sit well with you. That’s a WRONG way to respond to the outside world. Your emotions shouldn’t dictate facts. Your emotions shouldn’t cloud your judgment. Your personal opinion can sway certain interactions with said person but you should always receive outside data with an objective manner. Hate Lenses happen in our close relationships too! Let’s say a couple argue and they’re mad at each oth...

We all had those days where everything is dark and  melancholic , where anything becomes  morbid  and life just loses it's taste, sometimes it's because something happened to you but sometimes you become like that all of a sudden without knowing why. At those times, it's hard to see a silver lining (even though it's there), so our mood is clouded with a whole bunch of negativity. But you can always fight this state and make it slightly better, you shouldn't give in to those emotions and let them ruin your day, there are different techniques that makes you fight depression and save up the  psychiatrist money because they don't cost you a dime. I've chosen 11 ways that I personally use to improve my mood and here they are : 1- Walk : Walking is one of my favourite hobbies . There is no better -for me- than wandering in the street aimlessly just looking at strangers and cars moving along. It takes out a lot of stress, anger or whatever I feel at t...

Through life you just get stuck by bad stuff and you continue living with it without hiring it attention, but you notice gradually your mood swings, your patience gone and your life energy drained, so you start wondering what is the cause. Well, it's not only one thing that made you like that, but it's a number of things you didn't give a time to analyze yourself and you're doings, the reason why you feel like that is that all the bad stuff(from earlier) get accumulated from all your life. Those vampires camouflage themselves as guilty pleasures but they are in reality monstrous beasts drinking your sweet energy beverage and making you like a shell ! The way out of it is to remove them out of your life ! Period ! E.D People: Those kind are the worst, interacting with  those persons for like 10 minutes can be destructive both physically and mentally, and you probably have some pictures right now on your mind about who might that b...

From young age, I suffered from loneliness, I had little to zero friends, people come and go in my life ( temporary friends ), maybe because of my family's constant moving or maybe I was weird, I don't know! Clearly, I wasn't popular, so I always envied that cool kid who everyone knew his name and wanted to be around him and I tried to be like him. But I have grown and my world have grown with me, I no longer need everyone's attention to feel special, but the hunger for being known is still there but bigger and more devouring.  (Why I want to be famous isn't for its sole purpose; being known. But for a higher purpose: if my audience is worldwide so will be my message, and I can interact with a lot more people, help -if I can- more, and share more.) I wanted to know, I needed to know, but the Internet didn't satisfy my curiosity, all I could stumble upon are some random posts talking about stuff to do to grow a social circle not the actual way to do it....

We always asked and searched for the criteria that makes a good friend, but have we ever thought about whether we are good friends to be worthy of good friendship ? Give it a minute to sink in.  Are you a true friend ? Whatever your answer might be, consider the following : Many people see friendship from different perspectives and point of views but there are only few things that describe how much of a friend you are. The virtues : A true friend must have or acquire these virtues to call himself a friend, anything outside of that is just some luxury that it may give that bond a flavor, a person who makes you laugh and who's fun to be around with, doesn't necessarily mean that he's your friend, yes he might be friendly but not a friend.  A person who is always around doesn't mean necessarily that he's your friend, maybe you just have something he wants. Those fake concepts are on the tongue of every person who hasn't met a "traitor...
