Life Lessons 10 Life Lessons From Maleficent Movie 10:02 AM Have you ever wondered why villains are the way they are? Only when I got older did I realize people aren’t born evil. Something pushed them. Someone hurt them. Hurt people hurt people. And that has been made clearer with my favorite Disney villain’s story. So here are the ten life lessons from the Maleficent movie and the realizations I learned. 10 Life Lessons Learned from Maleficent Movie1. Forgiveness sets you free.When we close the chapter that has long been over, a new story starts to unravel. Don’t wait for the person who hurt you to apologize before you forgive them. By then, it may be too late. Decide to forgive now for your peace of mind.Forgive yourself for allowing that person to walk through your mind with their dirty feet.Stop hanging on to the past because it’s already done.Stop beating yourself up for what happened in the previous chapter of your life when the part of that story is already over.Choose to forgive and set yourself free.2. We choose the life we want.There’s evil in this world, but it has no power over you unless you allow it to. Every day, you make a choice. Mocha or latte.Save or spend.Choose food that heals or food that harms.Spread kindness or hatred.Respond or react.Find a way or find an excuse.Smile or frown.Love or indifference.It’s up to you.What are you choosing today? It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities. - JK Rowling3. What goes around comes around.Kindness begets kindness. Hate begets hate. No matter how hard you try to be kind to everyone, sometimes, someone will repay it with hostility.It may be tempting to give your haters a taste of their own medicine, but that will not heal your wound.The best revenge is success. Nothing kills your enemy more than seeing you happy and prosperous. Sit back. Relax. And let karma do her job.4. Master yourself. It’s normal to be angry when you’re hurt. It is a healthy response.It’s never okay to live with the pain and let your anger control you.Tame that angry beast inside you. Or else...You will drive the people around you away.You will have sleepless nights.You will get sick.Anger steals joy and peace.It will make you miserable. You could end up like the people who hurt you.Allow yourself to be angry. Embrace the pain. And then, let it go. (I’ve learned this one from Tuesdays with Morrie).5. Create your own happiness.Don’t make another person your source of happiness. Make your own sunshine.Choose to be happy. Stop holding on to what causes you misery or stress.Life becomes easier if you free yourself from the tt that are weighing you down. You open yourself up to better options and opportunities.6. Greed destroys. Negative and toxic feelings will eventually swallow you if you allow them.Greed will destroy you. King Stefan, in the movie, wanted more. His insatiable hunger for worldly things destroyed his family and drove him to madness. It eventually led to his death.7. Hurting people hurt people. Misery loves company. People who are wounded tend to wound others. They are screaming for help and desperate for healing but don’t know what to do. They feel empty. Their words are like knives.They are challenging to be around. They will drain your energy.You will never speak to talk more than yourself in your head. Be kind to yourself.8. Know the story behind the story. I used to think that Maleficent was born evil. Who would curse a baby?I never asked why she did what she did. What drove her to become this evil?I’ve realized that, as adults, we understand the villain more. Heck, sometimes we can even relate to them.When you meet a toxic person, do you judge them immediately to them, or do you through them right away?9. Teamwork is essential.We all need a reliable backup to accomplish our goals. A team of people to cheer us on or simply support us.We need friends who believe in us and see our potential---even when we doubt ourselves. We need friends who will point out the wrong in us. But will never walk away.Who is on your team?10. The power of wordsWords can build and destroy life. Be careful with what you say. Once spoken, you can’t take them back.How powerful are words? Dr. Masaru Emoto’s experiment showed that words can affect and change the molecular structure of water.And that’s only water. Imagine the effect of words on a person.Bonus lesson: never mess with a woman with red lipstick. 🤣 Realizations about Maleficent: Whpotenteficent?Maleficent is the most powerful fairy who lives in the Moors, a magical forest realm bordering a human kingdom. She fell in love with her first and only human friend Stefan. Stefan’s ambition and desire for power drove him to betray Maleficent, leaving her heartbroken and hateful. 1. Maleficent represents every one of us. Maleficent was born good. She believed in the goodness of men before she was betrayed. She did not hurt anyone. The concept of betrayal was foreign to her. This left her lost and wrathful. She wallowed in her pain and hatred. She shut the world out and became vindictive. I’ve read stories like this. About villains who used to be good. Until something awful happened to them. For Maleficent, it was losing faith both in love and in humanity. It was the betrayal that pushed her to be vengeful and curse the life of her perpetrator. Hurting people tend to do outrageous and illogical things. 2. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Maleficent had a choice like all f us. She lets her emotions control her or master her feelings and control her. It’s not easy to stay calm when you’ve given yourself only to be taken advantage of. 3. Life has a twisted sense of humor. What she despised and was obsessed with turned out to be why she changed. This is another proof that behind every burden is a blessing. In every trial, there lies a treasure. Final WordsI love knowing the other side of the story. The movie Maleficent is a perfect 5 for me. Have you seen Maleficent? What life lessons have you learned from it?

How-To Give Something Back To The Community With Your Career 12:13 PM What gets you out of bed in the morning? Motivation is a key factor when choosing which career path to follow. Some people are motivated by money, and while others prioritize low stress and flexible working hours. Others still put their creative or artistic talents to work or pursue their personal interests regardless of income. There’s no right or wrong answer, but it has to be said that there are many people in the world who have dedicated their time and talents to help their community to thrive. Whether you are just starting out on your career path, are looking for a career change, or are returning to the world of work after having a family, choosing a role that helps your community could be the key to lifelong job satisfaction. In terms of the education and training required, some only need a high school diploma to get started. For others, you may need more advanced education. Here are some examples of fantastic careers that give something back to the community. Give Something Back to the Community with Your Career 1. Social Worker A social worker supports people who are going through the most challenging times in their lives by connecting them with the right organizations and resources. The issues social workers are likely to face include family trauma, mental health, childcare, substance abuse, health, and employment. Social workers need to study for a bachelor’s degree in social work.With an advanced degree, they may be able to advance to a higher salary or even obtain a position as a community services manager if they gain enough experience. 2. Community Services Manager While it is the social workers who are directly delivering programs of support in the community, the community services manager is responsible for the planning and development of community programs and social services. They are sometimes referred to as social services managers and are dedicated to developing and coordinating programs that will improve the lives of people in their community. This includes research and administration as well as monitoring progress and analyzing the impact of a program. A community services manager will need to have excellent communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills as well as experience in social work and a master of social work degree. 3. Community Health Worker A community health worker is someone who helps the community live healthier lifestyles and works to increase awareness around potential health issues and preventative measures they can take. They will assess the needs of the community, develop a program that meets those needs, deliver it, and monitor its impact. A community health worker can often represent a community when trying to secure improved health facilities or resources. To become a community health worker, a high school diploma is needed followed by specific training. 4. Law Enforcement Law enforcement is a highly regarded but challenging career, but there are few others that are quite so selfless. The law enforcement officer works to protect their community, often putting themselves in danger in the process. Officers can work at a local, state, or federal level by upholding the law, arresting those who are suspected of breaking the law, and helping people who are in emergency situations. They may also be involved in ongoing criminal investigations and/or legal proceedings. To become a police officer, you need to have a high school diploma, be over 21 and have passed the training (including a minimum level of physical fitness). 5. Firefighter Firefighters are most associated with preventing and extinguishing fires in the community, but they are involved in protecting the community in many more ways. They will also respond to emergencies that don’t involve fire but require firetruck equipment, and they may care for injured people at the scene. Firefighters regularly put their lives at risk in their efforts to serve the community. What they do is not easy. Thankfully, there is now fire reporting software that helps fire services efficiently manage their entire operation throughout every step of the process, while also improving the safety of those involved in responding to incidents.Having achieved a high school diploma, firefighters need to pass specific training, be very physically fit and have a driver’s license. 6. Occupational Therapist An occupational therapist works with people of all ages to try and help them overcome health issues that negatively affect their quality of life. They help young children, teenagers, adults, and elderly people who have suffered injuries or illnesses (mental or physical) that are restricting them. Whether recovering from an accident, a life-changing injury, or an ongoing condition, an occupational therapist can be the key to their independence. Occupational therapists need to obtain a master’s degree and must be licensed. 7. Teacher There is a very famous song that says that children are our future, and if you believe that to be true, helping to educate children is an incredibly worthwhile use of your career.Education is not only about academic achievement but is also crucial in helping young people become the best possible versions of themselves. Equipping children with the academic, social, and practical skills (not to mention emotional maturity) they need in order to thrive as adults are literally building your community’s future. You can play a crucial role in helping them discover their unique talents and passions that could stay with them throughout their lives. 8. Counselor Counseling is a broad term that encompasses several careers, but in general terms, a counselor is someone who supports people who are working through emotional and mental problems in their lives. Often, a counselor will work in a specific niche, such as couples counseling, school guidance counseling, mental health, family trauma or breakdown, or substance misuse and addiction issues. The support provided can take many forms, including cognitive behavioral therapy, talking therapy, and experiential therapy. 9. Registered Nurse A registered nurse is a crucial role in the community.While a physician or surgeon will diagnose and prescribe treatment and/or surgery for patients, it is a nurse who provides practical and emotional care. Nurses are also often able to fulfill a wider role in the community, including educating people about healthy living and preventing illnesses.A nurse practitioner can take on a lot of the same responsibilities as a physician, including prescribing treatment. Are you still deciding which path to take? Steve Jobs once said, "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do."Choose a career that gives back to the community and feel your love tank fill up.
Dogs 4 Reasons Why Dogs Are The Best 9:24 AM Why Dogs Are The Best Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them is wrong.-W.R. Purche We have 17 dogs at home. 17 fluffy, crazy, zooming fluffy balls.It's crazy. But you know what? They're worth the money spent on vet visits, food, medicines, and grooming...The time and effort to clean after them...And waking up at 3am because they need to go or a leaf moved and it spooked them. 😄Because...Nothing compares to the loyalty and love of dogs. Dogs are indeed a man's best friend.They are friends for life.Dogs are simply the best and here are 4 reasons why.4 Reasons Why Dogs Are The Best1. Dogs can cheer you up Stress is inevitable. But you don't need a shrink if you have dogs. Just hug your dogs. Or join them in their crazy games. Their silly antics are enough to turn your frown upside down. 2. Dogs are great protectors Dogs see you as part of their pack. And they will give their lives protecting their own. 3. Dogs are loyal friends When the world turns its back on you, you can count on your dog to stay.There are stories about dogs not leaving their humans when tragedy happens, asking for help when a family member or another animal is in trouble or injured, and even sleeping on their human's grave for days. Do you know Hachiko? His story of loyalty left the world amazed. He's immortalized with a statue. One of our dogs died and his best pal stopped eating for days. He wouldn't sleep. He would sit and look at the part of the yard where we buried his friend. We even caught him lying beside it. Only when we let one of the new puppies play with him every day did he start to recover and cheer up. 4. Dogs can teach us lessons in life Dogs bite their enemies but they stay loyal to their friends. They show kindness to humans and to other animals that will put the self-righteous to shame. They're selfless, unconditional, and all-out when it comes to giving their love. Looking to their innocent eyes is a great reminder of what matters most in life. If forcing your dogs to take selfies is a crime, then I'm guilty. My phone is full of dog pictures, videos, and our selfies together. Taking selfies with your dogs? Which OPPO #SelfieExpert smartphone produces the best selfies? OPPO is no doubt the #SelfieExpert smartphone. But which OPPO smartphone is the best choice in taking selfies with your dogs? OPPO F3 There's Oppo F3. It has a dual front camera. One 16MP camera with extra-large pixels and one double view group selfie camera. So that's perfect for either taking selfies with one dog or taking a group selfie with all 17 dogs. Although in my experience, that's quite impossible as it's so hard to keep them still when they're together. But then OPPO F3 has a Palm Shutter that helps make it easy to take that snap. It also has an anti-shake feature so even when you can't hold your dog still while holding the camera, you'll still be able to get a clear and crisp photo that's ultra HD. The rear camera is 13MP that lets you get awesome night shots even during late-night selfie sessions with your dogs (I take photos of them sleeping beside me too). The thing about having dogs is that you don't only bring your essentials when you go out, you also bring theirs. So the lightweight, thin and sleek design is perfect to bring along during leisurely walks, going to the vet, or running errands. Having dogs will make you alert. You should always be on your toes. OPPO F3 has advanced upgraded touch access that's fast, accurate, and responsive. So no time is wasted trying to unlock your phone when another epic moment happens. You'll surely capture it! OPPO A39 OPPO 39 uses a front camera with extra-large 1.4um pixels and a 1/4-inch sensor. They have higher light sensitivity and frame rate, so you take stunningly beautiful photos. It also enables brilliant night shots with its 13MP rear camera. It's also lightweight at 147G and has a handsome arc edge design. Its 5.2-inch 2.5D HD screen is easy on the eyes. You can store as many selfies with 32GB RAM 32GB ROM. That solves the problem of not having enough space. It makes taking unstoppable selfies possible. If you're out with your dog for a long time, you don't have to worry about the battery. That's a 2900mAh battery. Both OPPO F3 and OPPO A39 have Beautify 4.0 that makes an already great selfie even more stunning. Each has its own unique and impressive qualities. Personal pick Honestly, it is tough to choose. But...Considering that we have more than just one dog and it's always been an epic fail to try to take a group selfie with them, I'd go for OPPO F3 on this one. If only to solve the predicament of taking a group selfie with all 17 dogs. Agree? Do you have a dog? Why do you think they're the best? Which OPPO #SelfieExpert smartphone do you think will produce the best selfie? Update: Because of this article, I won an OPPO F3 phone. Thank you OPPO Philippines and Nuffnang Ph!

Listicle What's The Best Type Of Car Battery? 7:27 PM What is the Best Type of Car Battery Your car battery will probably need to be replaced at least once. Some people replace theirs at least twice. Car batteries wear out and die due to constant use, heat exposure, and other factors. It's inevitable. However, proper care can extend the life of your battery. Some batteries last longer than others. So what's the best type of car battery? Here's a look. The Best Types of Car Battery 1. Optima BatteryAn optima battery is the best type. More specifically, look for 34/78 RedTop Optima batteries. They're versatile, withstand the rough and tumble of regular cars, frequently used SUVs, and even hot rods (any vehicle with a regularly sized alternator). The batteries use SpiralCell technology to ensure a strong start, even in freezing weather. They are easy to install, last twice as long, and are maintenance-free. The optimal battery has 15 times more vibration resistance than a typical battery.2. ACDelco Advantage batteriesIn second place are the ACDelco Advantage batteries. They were designed with the Toyota Prius in mind and work great with all Prius vehicles. 3. Mighty MaxAnother excellent battery is the Mighty Max, a solar battery. It powers cars, boats, tools, solar energy generators, and more. The mighty Max car battery is rechargeable and works well in hot and cold temperatures. It's also a breeze to install.4. D35 YellowTop batteryThis battery is the optima battery's RedTop counterpart. It's 15 times more vibration resistant, easy to install, and maintenance-free. It uses SpiralCell and helps cars start great regardless of the weather. Battery Checks Many people are not sure how to check a car battery. Early signs of a dying battery include:slowly cranking enginedashboard warning lightswollen batteryradio that doesn't turn onMany auto parts stores will check your battery for free. You can also test a battery on your own, ideally twice a year. Use a multimeter to measure voltage. When the engine runs, a healthy battery should be about 13.7 to 14.7 volts. If you don't have a multimeter, turn on the car and your headlights. Look at the lights' strength. Dim lights indicate a battery that needs to be replaced soon.Maintaining your car battery's condition is crucial, so it lasts longer. One basic and effective way to do this is to fill your batteries using water purified of dissolved minerals and salts. Look up the different types of purified water you can use for your car battery so you can protect it from corrosion and extend its life.Tips for the Best Batteries Regardless of the battery type you buy, there are several steps you should take. Buy a battery less than 3 months old (6 months is OK if necessary). Review the best types regularly, as they tend to change from year to year. Consult your owner's manual or a store associate to ensure you get a battery that works well with your vehicle. Check your battery twice a year, especially if you live in the South (batteries there don't last quite as long as they do in the north). Look for warranties with generous free-replacement periods. Batteries may qualify for low prices on auto parts in some stores, so look for sales when you're shopping. Remember, the younger your battery is, the longer it should last once it is installed in your car.Are you using one of the best types of car batteries mentioned?
Business Is A Career In Healthcare Right For You? 11:09 PM Is A Career In Healthcare Right For You Healthcare providers have proven real-life heroes in the past couple of years.And they do more than what you see. For instance, nurses have technical and administrative roles in healthcare planning, staff management, and more. Let's look at healthcare careers and see if it is right for you. Is healthcare growing or shrinking? The good news is that in most areas of healthcare, there's an apparent expanding demand. Healthcare is growing from counties with local and affordable clinics or hospitals needing reliable registered nurses (RNs) to work in specialist care wards. People get sicker as they age, so the demand for healthcare facilities only grows with an aging population. In the US alone, 16% of the population belongs in the age range of 65 and older.The healthcare industry grows yearly, and healthcare professionals face strenuous and demanding daily tasks. For this reason, each healthcare industry must do all it can to help workers and prevent carer burnout also from all other workers too. This could be with support, fair pay, a better work environment, etc. Better Job Security? In most areas of healthcare, there needs to be more qualified nurses, doctors, and other medical personnel. Hospitals often cannot hire fast enough to meet demands, a growing problem. Some healthcare professionals, like nurses, primarily work in different fields, like the corporate world.Current concerns over artificial intelligence, automation, and other technology-related innovations might threaten healthcare professionals' job roles.Are nurses going to be replaced by robots soon?How will they affect the healthcare profession? AI could suggest what might be wrong with a patient based on their diagnosis or test results, but they can't provide warmth and personal care from doctors or nurses. The flexibility of where to work in the US or Abroad? Given the demand for qualified personnel to work in certain positions in healthcare, healthcare professionals are needed across the States. That's true in larger cities and smaller rural communities that often find it challenging to attract the best talent. For anyone who enjoys small-town living and a greater sense of community, a nursing role within the community will be perfect, away from the hustle and bustle of big-city life. A generous relocation allowance sometimes encourages the best talent to move from a different state. The flexibility for nurses is outstanding. Some have chosen to be van dwellers, moving to different nursing jobs through the seasons. This is true of Nate Hemann, an RN, who recently hit the news with stories about his ownership of a home on wheels. There's also an occupational therapist who does the same thing, and several female travel nurses have embraced the RV lifestyle for greater flexibility. How to get involved with healthcare? The time to study to become a doctor and the debt one might accumulate before graduating are extreme. By contrast, nursing is a common choice for those who want to be in the healthcare industry. The great thing about nursing is that there's a clear educational path in this career, with nurses able to decide how far they wish to progress.Most health science courses require a University Clinical Aptitude Test or UCAT to get entry. There are UCAT guides to help you prepare for your aptitude test. Studying for an Associate degree in Nursing is one possible step that takes at least a couple of years but provides what is required to work in the profession. Becoming an RN does require an exam and passing the licensing requirements for the state where you'll be working. From the registered nurse stage, moving from an RN to BSN is a matter of taking the BSN degree in nursing, which is more extended and advanced. Still working as an RN, you'll have access to more senior nursing positions. The RN to BSN in Georgia also suits people who plan to stay and work in that state. Is the healthcare career trajectory positive? Nurses can move from the BSN to study for a master's in nursing. From there, a Ph.D. is possible too. Alternatively, at the master's level, there's the option to study for a future nursing administrator role.This would move behind the scenes in charge of how the hospital is run to ensure that frontline medical staff has what they need to perform at their best. Healthcare professional Is a Career In Healthcare Right For You? Overall, healthcare is a fantastic field to be a part of. There are optimistic expectations regarding job demand, availability, and flexibility too. In terms of the roles themselves, you're free to pick one that matches your skills and preferences. Additionally, choosing your studies wisely opens doors to more excellent career options.These nursing jobs offer interesting choices with specializations like acute care, pediatric care, and management or administrative career paths. A career in healthcare looks positive in the present and future too.
Listicle How To Have A Fulfilling Career In Teaching 7:48 PM Teaching is one of the most fulfilling career decisions that you can choose, allowing you to make a real difference to the lives of children and young people and focus on helping them to achieve their goals. However, every fulfilling career choice also has lots of hard work behind the scenes to get the education and training that you need to become a teacher and to start helping others. How to Have a Fulfilling Career in Teaching Get a Teaching Degree Every teacher working in the U.S must have a degree, with many teachers opting to educate themselves at an even higher level with a Masters or Ph.D. Many teachers aim to earn a degree in any subject before taking an additional teaching course on top of this, enabling them to expand their career options. However, if you want to open up the the best job prospects available to you, and if you are set on a career in teaching, then there are many specialist teaching degrees available. Merrimack College offers an elementary education masters online which can build on your prior knowledge of teaching and allow you to specialize. Find Classroom Experience After you have reached the education level that you desire, you can then start to consider how you will get the classroom experience that you need to succeed. Many schools offer schemes that allow students and those interested in working with children to go on a placement within the school. This will allow you to gain the experience and skills that you need in a practical way, from knowing the best practices to teach children, to all elements of childcare. Many degree courses, however, will have classroom experience combined with the course requirements, meaning that you will be assigned a placement as part of your course. Apply for the Right Documentation Every state also requires the right documentation for graduates to work as teachers and with children, and these include licenses and record checks. You must have state certification to work in schools, no matter what your role is. However, if you are considering working in a private school, you may not have to have these documents as they are outside of state regulations. Find a Teaching Position There is a large demand for teachers in the US. You should decide what type of teaching position you want to look for before applying, such as special needs schools, elementary or secondary schools, or religious options. Most teaching positions are advertised broadly in local newspapers and on job listing websites. The best time to search for a job is during the summer, when the highest majority of staff change-over occurs, and when organizations are particularly streamlined in looking to fill job roles while the school terms have come to an end. Teaching affords you the opportunity to impart knowledge and wisdom to children, plan lessons and activities, and care for every child in your classroom. Therefore, it can be a superbly rewarding career path to actively pursue.
