What can we learn from practicing authentic living over following a timeline?

 

On Social Media sites we encounter some motivational speakers who introduce us to the idea of not restricting yourself on following a timeline in order to achieve success. What I mean by success here is living with authenticity, contentment and finding our inner happiness. Have you ever that feeling where you have reached everything and have done according to you plan but still you feel that there is something is lacking but you can't pinpoint what it is?

According to these speakers, success in life doesn't determine by getting the accomplishment for a certain milestone. For example at age 16, you should be doing a part time job. By the age of 20, you finished college and by 27, you get married and have children. Then at age 30, you are already retired and so on and so forth. Even our society have own set of timeline that we should follow in our lives and if we don't follow it then it might imply that something is not right with us.

Although following a timeline gives us the direction and control on how we want to see ourselves in the future. It gives the drive to push forward with our goals and there is this notion that life is limited so for as long as you are able and healthy do it before your body wears out or do it while your love ones are still alive however the downside of it is we are losing our authenticity because of imposing some self restricting beliefs that when things gets beyond our control and doesn't go on our way, we become too depressed and unable to accept and do new things. We become so hard on ourselves and we also extend this towards over others unaware that they have their own set of needs and with that we lose our sense of compassion to ourselves and others.

When we achieve a certain milestones in our lives, we sometimes boasts it in front of others probably it would also provide for some people to move forward especially for those who follow a certain goals but for others, it doesn't resonate that much because they may have different perspective in life or become more upset within themselves and felt inferior because they also try doing the way you do but it doesn't work with them.

When we push things to meet a deadline, it suffers the quality and the time that our body needs to process and grow. When we rush things, it doesn't give us that stability and lasting effect that we truly need.

We have our own timing, our own readiness and uniqueness that most of us take it for granted because we wanted to be belong and make the society accept us.

True that in this world life is limited and we have to aspire for a goal and live on purpose however by being authentic, it teaches us to be flexible, be resilient, find acceptance and adaptability to the things that we cannot control of. We have plans and goals that we want to accomplish that are great however there are times that life brings us to a set of detours that direct us to a better opportunity that we can't imagine and it reduces the sense of regret and brings inner peace.

What to do when losing motivation?

Through some phases in our lives we meet some challenges, past situations that still hunt us and there are times things didn't go as expected and from there we lose our motivation either to start something new or to continue pursuing our goals. Losing motivation is a normal feeling however this doesn't mean that we have to dwell too much of it to the point that we will discontinue what we are trying to set for ourselves.

Here are some practical tips on what to do when you feel you are losing on motivation to move forward.

1. To be aware and understand your whys. 

This is about getting back to your true purpose of why you create a goal to yourself. You also have to ask for whom are you doing this for, for example you need to go to abroad for you to give your children a good life. Regardless of the hardships you are facing you have the resilience to work hard and have focus because of the children in mind.

2. Seeing the bigger picture and the long-term effects of your decision. 

Sometimes before we lose our motivation, we get distracted first by some detours or challenges to which we lose our focus and later on decreases our motivation to continue doing our goals however when you see the bigger picture and its long-term significance, you will clearly see the benefits of your goal or what will happened when you stop. By reflecting on these matters will help us continue with our goals and priorities even if we are facing challenges or any diversion towards it.

3. Take things one at a time. 

There are some instances that too many goals we set for ourselves we become too overwhelmed that would make us lose our focus towards our goals this is why doing things one thing at a time will help us return our balance and grounded. Doing simple and small tasks also helps us gain some efficiency with our work than we allow multi-tasking but later on we felt all over the place with nothing hasn't being done properly.

4. Take your time. 

We are not talking about procrastination, but it is all about your readiness because when you are ready that's the time where your mind can absorb more information and productive. There is this saying that " Slow success builds character, fast success builds ego" and this actually true because in today's world we are more into instant gratification and we want fast results towards our goals however if the process towards it is half baked, not fully established or rushed whatever we are working on, it compromises good quality, and its effectiveness is short lived.

5. Keep on moving even if you are in a low mood. 

There are times, we have our days that we have no energy or mood to do our chores and even continue doing our cherished goals and it is normal however if we dwell too much of this low mood, it will sink us down however if we keep on moving it somehow starts to feel better. It is advisable that when we are in this state have a few minutes of walk in the park, nature, do errands or have a stroll at malls. If you are at home, a simple house chore such as floor sweeping would also help us regain our energy and while we are active, we suddenly boost our creativity or intellect that would support our goals.

6. Use SMART method.

Setting realistic goals using SMART method which stands for S - Specific, M - Measurable, A - Attainable, R - Realistic and lastly T - for Time bound. This method commonly used in health care settings and other professional fields that requires a timeline and result driven on some specific tasks in dealing with clients. If we applied this on pursuing our goals and it would help us get that direction and focus because we can evaluate our goals logically based on the criteria that we set in. When we see our progress, it indicates that we are on the right track and thus increases our motivation.

7. Eliminating what is not essential and setting routines and habits that will anchor your goals. 

We have to identify first what distracts us and those people, old habits or situations that drain our energy and from there if we wanted to change, we set up new routines and habits that support our goals. We can track our progress and effectiveness on weekly, monthly or yearly basis. It is important that your newly formed habits are deeply sink into your system.

8. Developing self - compassion and patience. 

When we lose our motivation, we become too hard on ourselves and become impatient because we wanted immediately results but when the situation becomes out of control, we lose our motivation and another thing that cause misunderstandings and ruining of relationships. We have to accept that there are some things that would require time and we can't control people in our lives, but we can control our emotions and actions. By practicing self - compassion and patience, we are able to process things calmly.

9. Seeking the company of trusted people and your support system.

When you feel that you are in low motivation, seek the company of people whom you can trusted and in good influence and character either it is a family member, friends or seek professional help from counselor or mental help professional where you can express yourself and what stresses you without being judged and providing insights that would help you think back at your own feet.

10. Another way to help us boosts our motivation is to look for inspiration from those people who have already reached the top. 

It could be our favorite celebrities, other public figures, rock stars, musicians, influencers, entrepreneurs, mentors & others because their stories would give the resilience that we need especially when we see them continue to pursue their goals and their creativity despite a lot of hardships and obstacles they encountered. We have to see, what makes them so passionate with their craft and what makes them continue doing it. We also need to see if these people give us the positive impact that would help us change for better. If they are down to Earth, humble, remain on low profile and living a simple life, recognizes God and being respectful and kind to others then we are on the right track.

11. Practicing spirituality. 

This approach can be difficult to understand by those doesn't believe on God and Supreme being from different faiths however for those who practice it in a form of prayer, singing or meditation it somehow decreases their stress and it also help us regain their motivation and purpose on continuing their goals or develop a new path that aligned to God's will.

Now that you're equipped with these strategies, it's time to take action. Select one or two tips that resonate most with you and start implementing them today. Remember, progress over perfection. Celebrate your small wins and watch your motivation snowball as you move closer to achieving your goals.

My thoughts on using pronouns to let people acknowledge your gender

When I encounter a male person but unaware of his sexual orientation, I immediately address him a male however if I some observe something distinctive about this person for instance he wears female clothing, has some feminine in his gestures or he openly tells everyone that he is gay then I will address this person as she/her for me to acknowledge and respect the sexual orientation that this person wants to be.

I don't mind whatever their sexual orientation is and for as long as they are approachable, decent and kind person I don't see anything wrong for these people to be included in the community.

What I consider an issue if the person impose too much that all people must recognize and accept that they are from the LGBT group and demands the respect that they need but they do the opposite for example they harm someone who doesn't accept their sexual orientation or any slight conflicts with someone grew into a bigger issue.

At schools, we are taught about the use of pronouns, the use of he/him, she/hers, we, ours, they/them and it. It is straightforward that when everyone sees you as a male, you will addressed as he/him and if you are a female then she/her is applied however now that we are on the modern and digital age some individuals call themselves as they/them. 

In my opinion, using this kind of pronouns confuses some people for example children, elderly and those people who follows the conservative, religious and those people who considered it as normal from previous standards and today's acceptable standards. You may inform people you're sexual orientation however you must accept that not everyone accept you for your choices.  Not all people will try to understand what you have been through for a gender change.

For you to fully embrace your identity, you must be grateful and accept who you are from the past. You make peace with it. Respect your biological make-up from birth and respect what God and the nature has given you.

My thoughts on Cold Calling to gather leads on Real Estate

One of the tasks that a Real Estate Virtual Assistant must have is the ability to gather leads to help the client's business grow. The main method in gathering leads is to make phone calls of either buyers or sellers and to determine whatever motivation they have for the property and put it on the database however I do find calling a lot of people for that purpose is a waste of time especially if you are receiving a lot of rejections from them. It is like doing a lottery, hoping to find any luck. I also do feel that calling lots of people but without a result drains the time and resources of the client. Even providing homeowners a yellow letter, there is a possibility that the property owners will take that for granted and put it straight to the bin!

To share with you my experience, I did encounter some of the cold callers either from phone or mobile phone and the first reaction that comes to my mind is, how come they knew my number and information and able to call? I quickly assume that these people are scammers & cons & I immediately block them without engaging with them. If it happens that you are an Introvert, you wouldn't spend your time and energy to those cold callers that waste your time.

In this day and age scammers can do everything to get what they wanted, and we cannot always trust the random person who calls and provide our information to them during the initial stage. You don't know whatever motivation they have. We have to protect our privacy, confidentiality and even our own boundaries from these people. Even if they say that they are legit company, do not be complacent. Do some research and asked some people who received their services.

I am not saying that we have to ban this type of Real Estate tasks because there are some people who are still benefiting from it for instance, a seller is having difficulty in finding the buyer for the property either they are too busy with their work or other commitments, and it happens that they received a cold caller, and they have a win-to-win deal. For this to become a successful transaction it really depends on how you effectively communicate.

From what I have learned regarding Cold calling tasks, a realtor will go to the county office to get contacts of properties that are on the risk of foreclosure and as Real Estate VA, you do the calling one by one but the challenging part is you don't know which among them has the motivation to sell or buy.

If you are going to ask me if I prefer Cold Calling, I prefer an old school type of gathering leads for example I am at day care center for children and by chance I talked to some mothers expressing their interest of selling their property because of a divorce or relocation to a new place. They can see me personally, send them my business contact details and get their consent so once I called them, they know it is me.

Same thing applies if I attended property matter events in the community. I get to know them in person and preferences and from there we also get to know who has the motivation to buy or sell the property so once you contact them there wouldn't be a surprise.

There was this forum that I have read about Cold Calling and one of the responses from a realtor got my attention because what he said was if you got annoyed by Cold calling then that's your problem. His most of his Cold calling transactions might be all successful however if by chance he encounters someone who can sue him to the courts then what can he do? Will his company protect him with that?

If he is the one who receives cold calls day by day and those who are really so persistent in getting information about him, wouldn't he get annoyed by that and just let the day pass and say, it is okay? We couldn't pretend like that.

Although these people who don't like to receive these types of calls are minority, it doesn't mean that you will continuously disrespect their boundaries. According to some sources, Cold Calling is not illegal however there are also laws and restrictions on some states that they must be aware of for example Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991. So, if these people put their names on "Do Not Call List" & you are still stubborn & call them then expect some consequences.

It is important that as a Real Estate Virtual Assistant, you have to be mindful of issues that can happen on Cold Calling. Asked your company or client of what measures they will just in case the receiver of the call sue you for doing it. If they can’t provide you a good answer, then you are at great risk & it is time to think if they are good company to work with in the long run.

It would be better to find leads using a different method and don’t require you to depend on Cold Calling a 100% or not at all. The other method might be on a slow process but if that guarantees the quality of service you are giving that in return can provide you a good value of prospects then that would be a great thing! When you are doing things in a right way, people will start to pick it up & will support you in many ways.

In this day & age I do feel that more people value on the inner peace at work wherein it doesn't give them any stress because someone sued them for the violation they have done. A good business respects people's boundaries, privacy & confidentiality.

Navigating Broker Price Opinion

Making property valuation through Broker Price Opinion (BPO) is one of the essential skills that realtors must have and same thing applies to real estate virtual assistant (REVA) because they are assisting the clients behind the scenes however for me who are still on the learning process of becoming a real estate virtual assistant, I was immediately informed that doing BPO tasks are tedious but once you get used to the process, it would be easy peasy.

In doing Broker Price Opinion as a student, I encounter some challenges.

The main thing that I am concerned when it comes to the challenges is through the lack of information or where to get the accurate and legit one. In order to get the accurate information, you need to be a licensed realtor to access the County website and also the MLS system. It is understandable that not all people can have access to County website either online or onsite due to privacy and confidentiality of the past and current owners of the property and there are potential risks that the information you acquire can be subjected for abuse. If you want to get information through onsite, you need to have information and undergo a process and rules as provided by the County office otherwise the misuse of information can result to violation.

As for MLS system, different realty firms are using a similar or a completely different MLS system and to get access it's only the realtor knows. I think using MLS system makes a Realty firm unique from the other, making services quick and get accurate information as possible however I also discovered that pulling comparable, it doesn’t have to be too complex, and you can actually do it from scratch. By knowing this, you can easily assess, plan and strategize even if the MLS system is not available.

Another thing is that is challenging for me as a student is to find out different MLS systems that are used by companies in real time and we need of more of hands-on approach of navigating it for example using a simulation version of the real one so we can practice. I also do feel that there are different scenarios when it comes to identifying whether the property is on Sales & Financing Concessions and Fee Simple and if you are lacking information or if there are discrepancies of it, it is difficult to provide a clear distinction for what the property is.

As for making adjustments, we were informed that the banks provide a standard guideline, and we have to make research of how much the property cost on average installing or repairing. The challenging part of this is each states have different pricing, and it can be also updating on a yearly basis so if you get the wrong information, it will affect your property valuation.

From my overall experience these are the challenges that I come up with and even though there are struggles once you finally completed it and aware of these challenges, it gives you more room of opportunity to improve. I do believe that as we gain more exposure of doing it, we understand about it deeply and develop our confidence and become effective in making property valuations for our clients and make right decisions after.

Don't stop believing and chasing your dreams!

Just do it and chase your dreams! Turn those dreams of yours into a reality. Once you have chase it, go for a better and bigger one. Don't stop believing to your dreams and goals no matter how hard you fall. 

Remind and focus on it and stand up again and make your impossible dreams turn into something doable. Little by little and even if there is uncertain still there is something happening, there is a progress without us being aware of it. 

Young and old, we are in for an adventure all the time and set yourselves for new beginnings instead of endings. In addition, ground your dreams and goals with spirituality and practicality to build a strong foundation making those impossible dreams becomes possible.

Sogga's Touch no jutsu!

 

I know you are in deep pain Floppa.

After I saw a video of Sogga touching Floppa's chest on YouTube by Cult of Flop, it makes me inspired to write a small dialogue between the two.

Sogga have mastered a new technique after watching Naruto called "Touch no jutsu" putting a paw on an irrate friend in order for him to calm down and release the evil chakra.?

Sogga's Touch no jutsu

Sogga: Floppa, I know that you are in deep pain. Let me remove that for you my friend. (Placing its paw on Floppa's chest)

Floppa: It's not bloody working! Sogga stop this nonsense jutsu of yours. I'm not buying it! Hiss!

Practicing Solitude on holiday season is not that bad

 It is a common tradition that during holiday seasons we always spend our quality of time with our family, friends and colleagues. We enjoy family gatherings at home or even doing some festive activities outdoors. Most offices go for Christmas parties, and everyone have their own share of presentation numbers, antics and making contributions when it comes food, drinks, games or even simply helping with the cooking and tidying up with the host.

Holiday seasons brings nostalgia to those people who have transitioned to a different lifestyle for example Filipino Overseas Workers (OFW). Before they go abroad, they got used to visiting loved ones for the holidays however now that they are far from home, they miss their family and friends and the lively atmosphere that they once get used to. Now that they are in another country, they have to start celebrating holidays either from themselves or with a new group of people. Life continues to go on.

In Western countries we also encourage some people to visit those who are lonely and vulnerable groups like the elderly, people with disability, children on foster care, the prisoners and those who detained and people, people with addictions, chronic poverty and lastly those who have mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression and others. Even on these circumstances that they have, they do deserve human connection and it is normal for us to seek that love and the need of being belonged.

However, for those who spend their Christmas and New Years alone some people cannot help but formed some assumptions towards these groups of people. They think that those people in isolation are all lonely.

Here is one of the classic examples of statement that some people assume when someone is alone during holidays.

- Until now, she doesn't have boyfriend, yet I bet her holidays will be lonely.

True that there are many reasons why some people are on their own during holidays and at some point, might feel loneliness.

For example, having unsupportive and toxic family and friends that they choose to distance themselves. Those who need to work or doing charity and community works during holiday festivities, loss of a loved one. For some, holidays can be overwhelming that they need to follow old traditions that are against to their current values and priorities in life. There are some people who fear of overblown spending while others have a different expectation that when things start to run on a different course, they feel upset and loss their motivation to believe and start again.

On a positive note, there are others who prefer to be alone because they simply enjoy it especially for some Introverts who spends time alone to recharge and find happiness on stillness, simplicity and calmness. Some people are confident in their own skin and being open to new explorations. Just drinking a warm cup of Hot Choco without distractions alone already brings joy!

Unless we are aware and understand their stories and it would be best not to give any assumptions and understand where people are coming from before we judge them as lonely.

If we are starting to have fears of being in isolated, we have to begin making it as a friend. What I meant by it is to see your situation of being solitude in a different light.

By being solitude, it gives us the opportunity to prioritize our self-care. We sometimes tend to meet the expectations of other people from us without knowing that we are stretching ourselves too thin and it make us lose our authenticity to ourselves and it does affect our health. In practicing self-care, we value both our physical, internal and our mental health.

Practicing solitude also helps us to discover and reflect more about ourselves from our strengths and weaknesses, our boundaries, things that we care and value and is there anything that we need to improve or change by that?

There are some instances that we are overloaded with many tasks to do and once that we didn't reach people's expectations of us, our self-worth depletes however by doing Solitude you are able to develop compassion towards yourself and others because being alone, helps you to slow down and view things with further clarity and on a bigger picture.

Solitude also provides us the strong focus on our goals. Instead of focusing on negativity around you for example dealing with gossips you focus within on what you build for yourself.

And lastly being in Solitude makes you seek God and gives you the time to deepen your relationship with the Supreme Lord and improve the quality of relationship to your loved ones and others whom you encounter towards your journey in life. Living Solitude balances everything and it doesn't alienate yourself on others. You are making yourself heal and have peace within yourself and others.

Do we still think that Solitude is a bad thing? For me, it is about time to learn something from it and make it into good use.

The benefits of using Receipts for my things to do list instead of an organizer or the Daily/Yearly planner.

 

An example of a Daily/Yearly Planner

When I was in High School and College I enjoyed collecting or buying Yearly planner or Organizer for my day-to-day activities. I love its colorful designs of it especially it is a book bound however later on I realized that after a year this Year planner becomes a clutter, there are some pages that are untouched and I was thinking that most yearly planners are expensive and every time that I am going to throw them on the bin, I could imagine the cost of this item and instead of using this amount for other important expenses then there we go, all of them goes to the bin!
From there, it makes me have a decision of not buying or accepting Yearly planners but instead use whatever resources that I have and that's either clear Bond paper, a Scratch paper and lastly the receipts.

Fifth, once you have accomplished all the task for a particular day, you can simply throw it away using paper bins for recycling.
Then lastly, you can write ideas that inspires you and that is something that you can keep on looking forward to in planning your activities for the following day and make sure that you are planning for your daily task and activities keep it in line with your main goal and set your intentions for the next day.

Sometimes, these receipts provide me the motivation to work hard especially if I saw the cost of the purchase written on the receipt was costly.??

There are also times that we fail to finish the tasks that we have written there however we shouldn't be too frustrated and dwell too much on those tasks because we have to be reminded that there are things that take time to manifest that's why do everything you can and for those unfinished business you can get back to work on it. If we try to rush things sometimes it produces wrong results that is why we need to carefully plan our time, money and resources. Our day-to-day list would help us keep on the right tract with our goals despite of world's uncertainty that we encounter, and it is also our way of evaluating what are things and commitments that is working or not. Have a great day and spend your time wisely.

Using this kind of humor or similar wouldn't do any good for Vegans to spread their message across

 

On Facebook, I found this post some may have a laugh out of it however this doesn't do any good for some people who takes them seriously.

I commented about this post and here are the contents. I do hope that Vegans and Non-Vegans try to end division and arguments to prove their worth and see a bigger picture instead.

You may try to encourage them to accept the significance of being a vegan or vegetarian, but this kind of humor doesn't do any good to persuade them to respect what Vegan stands for.

Being Vegan is all about spreading kindness and peace and not making others feel hostile and be divided because our belief is the absolute truth and reality.

We wouldn't earn respect and making others persuade if we mock or belittle other people's choices.

Respect begets respect.

If they do change because of this way that is because it is out of fear or just pleasing us but don't see the significance of it to themselves and to the animals that we've been trying to protect and soon they are back to their old ways.

As Vegans we patiently help those people who really wanted to transition for something better and understand those people who are struggling with this and see where they are coming from.

Those Meat eaters may be harsh on us, but we don't equate it the same because we have a strong conviction that we follow, and we see things in a bigger picture. Let our good actions be an example for them to change.

Original and first published article On aboard to Space Battleship Titanic! An indestructible & feared Battleship from Galactic White Star Line

The Space Battleship Titanic as stationed to Earth's seas.

 There is a crazy idea about Titanic that pops up to my mind.

How about we turn the Titanic into Space Battleship Titanic? It can fly & sail through galaxies and seas and oceans from different planets. It uses time warp and can travel in and out of black holes and white holes. It can pass on many stars and suns.

It can pass through tremendous storms of Jupiter and other planets and withstand solar winds. It can turn upside down, 360 degrees in water and submerged in deep waters so this why this great battleship is beyond unsinkable.

As for the photo, I requested the AI to create a Space Battleship Titanic following the White Star Line's theme of colors and this the result! And it's a wow!

Yes, it is now in its Space Battleship form that seems stationed on Earth but it retains its elegance of the original one however if she is in outer space she will change her matter composition and shape especially if she pass on hundred or millionth suns, galaxies and planets.

She will be in this form (the one in the photo) when sailing on Earth's seas and oceans or in a different planet similar to Earth's composition.

I love how her cannons are placed on the side. Her cannons emits nuclear and pulsar beams.

As for her creation, it all started when there is an intergalactic war and there are some Aliens that wants to invade and conquer planets but there are some Aliens who wants to protect all living creatures and they are looking for some inspiration of what the of the name of the space battleship would look like.

Then they observed the Earth and they were able to see the Earth's Maritime, Aerial travel and studied the Earth's security and defense force from the past, present and future. As they have seen the tragedy of 1912's Original Titanic, they can't helped but wanted that name for the Battleship to be the one of great defenders of the universe and they wanted the Titanic to give it a glorious comeback!

It is indestructible and with its nuclear cannons and pulsar beams it can destroy Icebergs, meteors, asteroids and fast moving comets, it can blast planets and other celestial objects with ease. The battleship Titanic got a protective shield but this shield has the ability to deflect enemies weapons and beams this why some invaders are feared of its presence. To make this a reality they collaborate with the Earthlings from the future.

Space Battleship Titanic is mysterious because it can shapeshift and can change its matter composition and size. On Earth, it can be seen just like a look a like with the Original Titanic but giant version of Royal Caribbean fleets with its luxury interiors and they use the White Star line's theme of color for exterior but when you go inside the control room, the ship is equipped with advance technology. It also has a section for giant robots with Frontliner pilots to fight on wars. It disguised as Titanic travel ship and people it is revived but there is more to it.

As for the staff and crew of the Battleship, they make an Oath of Immortality and this is essential because they constantly travel with the speed of light. The Immortality will wear off if you have evil intentions. Aliens and Humans work together to protect everyone in the universe.

My dream airplanes

Some of us wanted to travel abroad using airplanes while some are quite scared because of the turbulence and other risks but for me despite the risk, if we really want to enjoy our travel we have to be prepared for us to set aside your fears.

We will choose an airline that values our safety and comfort.

So for me, here are my top 4 dream list of Airlines.

1. Philippine Airlines because I am a Filipino. It is the pride of Filipinos when it comes to Aviation. It is the default.

2. Emirates - I think it offers the best and the luxury & comfort just like Bateel dates, wrap in a golden ribbon & packaging.

Emirates, also reminds me of Arsenal Football team. It is like Arsenal is Emirates or vice versa.
3. Ethihad, it is another airline that offers luxury type of service. It reminds me of Manchester City Football team. Ethihad is MC.
4. Virgin Atlantic - I want Diamond girl.

Virgin Atlantic is like the plane of the Entrepreneurs & people that can think outside the box. If Philippine Airlines is the Love bus, Virgin Atlantic is the Diamond girl.

For now, these are my top 4 favourite however I do believe that there are other airlines that can do exceptional service and once we take that airplane that's the time we appreciate the things that they offer and also for our safe journeys we have to be responsible by following the airline's rules of travel and if we have concerns we have to address it in a proper way.

Paying respect to the Manga illustrator's creative authority

 

Boruto in its new character designs

If you are a Boruto fan, you are definitely aware of another new Boruto manga known as Boruto Two Blue Vortex and fans are so excited the new character designs for the manga.

There was a thread on Twitter/X that says Kishimoto draws better than Ikemoto or vice versa. It is understandable that we have preferences when it comes to art styles however the argument about who is the better illustrator is unnecessary. It seems that some fans make a discussion from this for entertainment which it creates some unhealthy conversations on some fans.

Why did I say that? Because on one of the sources that I read Kishimoto actually let Ikemoto take in charge when it comes to illustrations and that means he have that respect to Ikemoto in terms of artistic expression through the art style. He has given Ikemoto the creative authority and I think whatever Ikemoto put on the table we must accept it and have an open mind. We come for entertainment and those artists are providing it for us.

So as fans, while some of us take criticism of Ikemoto's art style I do feel that we need to understand the purpose why artist drew them that way for example Sarada in this Two Vortex manga, she may look like a prostitute as being seen by some fans but in Japan some teenagers dress like that and they tend to experiment on their style so Sarada's style is no big deal and on the story her role is not about prostitute but a normal teenager that understands what Boruto have gone through and her journey as a hokage for Konoha.

We set aside what are our own impressions about Sarada and follow the artist's creative authority so in that way we get the full appreciation of the story.

What can we learn from Chinese Historical dramas on the Imperial Harem culture?

 

Both historical dramas are from Liu Lianzi (Photo not mine)

There are two Chinese Historical Dramas that I got hooked to watch. First is the Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace and the second one is the Empresses in the Palace and these dramas are based from the novel created by Liu Lianzi. Although these dramas have different characters or some of them may appear on the sequel for example Zhen Huan, she is the main protagonist on the Empresses in the Palace as a Consort but on Ruyi's Royal Love, she is the Empress Dowager however both novels speaks for only one thing the condition of the ladies inside the harem.

Living in the harem may seem to be a good prospect in a way that it help elevate the status of your family clan or even a chance for you to become an empress or a consort of a higher rank or your son to be a prince or the next emperor but not everyone have received a good blessings because if you are the person who is unfavored or loss favour by the emperor you will be degraded by everyone around you.

In ancient China, to preserve the ruling Imperial dynasty, the palace opens its doors to welcome the ladies with a good family background to enter the Imperial harem and their purpose is to produce an heir for the emperor however doing it is not easy because you have to gain favour from the emperor and keep him happy and also you need to consider getting favours from the empress & empress dowager for you to survive in the harem.

The empress is considered as the mother of the nation and she also maintains the peace and harmony in the harem however despite of her efforts, there are still consorts and concubines that are envious and scheming. The empress and others can be your friend or foe, this makes the Forbidden city/Imperial palace a not so good place to live.

Eventhough with these kind of living conditions, it is not impossible to live in peace and quiet life in the harem. The issues going on in the harem, it is not that much different to the current issues that we are dealing with the workplace or on other aspects of our modern lives so with that, what can we learn from watching or even reading about the life of women in the harem?

Upon watching these dramas there are things that we need to look at. Imagine that you are inside the harem, how do you do things differently?

Before we even enter the harem, know the pros and cons of it and if this is something that aligns with your values and your priorities, study what are the good behaviors & understand the rules and from there you will get the proper mindset and readiness to face challenges or pleasant things in. There are some concubines and consorts who only cares for money, power and prestige but that would backfire them in the future. So, if you don't want any trouble in the harem, it would be good to let your intentions known that you are only seeking peace, you only act what is necessary and you wish no ill or competition to others but rather put love and compassion as your purpose.

The next point we need to consider is always humble even if you are promoted in a higher rank. there are some ladies in the harem once being favored by the emperor and received promotion, they become arrogant and belittle those people who serve them or other ladies from the lower or even higher rank. Use your rank to help others in a positive way and help them make a difference and not to cause trouble to yourself and others.

Gossips/rumors can be entertaining but always try your best not to listen nor get involved in any of it. We may get important information by it however we have to investigate it if this is being true, find the facts and where this person coming from. Go to people in the harem that has a pure, simple and have positive outlook. Better see people on a deeper level and look for the big picture of things for a better understanding of the situation.

There are times that there are people who will misunderstand you for whatever you are doing. To deal with it you simply let them be, always be kind to them whatever they treat you, be objective and have good intentions especially when gaining favors with the Emperor, Empress & the Empress dowager & those people from your level and lower rank. There are always circumstances that would flesh out the real truth and if you have good intentions, you will be cleared on any accusations and scheming because you have a pure heart and people whom you get close and acquainted will tell.

The Philippine Rice Porridge is underrated.

A delicious sample of Rice Porridge in my neighborhood for only 20 Philippine Pesos

 

Every Asian countries have their own variations of Rice Porridge and they are more into savory flavours while the European or Western ones may have their Porridge bland either with milk, honey or fruits and thicker in consistency however not all people enjoys Rice porridge and they prefer soups and other hot and heavy dishes. Rice Porridge is considered as a poor or sick mans food just like eating soups however it may look like that but some people don't see the benefits.

Rice Porridge is accessible because if you have rice at your home, you can cook porridge anytime and as you put simple condiments, vegetables or meat then you are good to go!

How to use Astrology, Horoscopes and Tarot readings to our own advantage?

 As the year 2023 ends, we begin to think what is coming next for us and we hope that 2024 brings us a lot of excitement and opportunities. From there, we become curious of what is going to happened so we take a sneak peak in Astrology, Horoscopes and Tarot readings to see if our lives would be lucky enough for 2024. There are some who wants to discover what lies ahead but there are others who are unconvinced and refused to join this activity.

Now, it makes us wonder why there are some who declined to join. For them, astrology, tarot and other esoteric readings shouldn't be taken seriously because this is something that is against their faith, their practices and even science. This also leads us to a point where our destiny is not determined by clairvoyant abilities of a fortune teller, tarot readers and astrologers but through the quality of our efforts, hard work and strong faith to God and all of these must go hand in hand for us to have a prosperous life that we wanted.

Another interesting example is on one of the online posts that I have read, it says that after 72 hours, you have millions in your bank account. It may seem exaggerated by those who are skeptical but to those who are believers of the unknown, spirituality, astrology and into esoteric pathways this serves as a manifestation. True that this might not resonate or might not be immediately happened to their bank account but for some reason it gives them the energy and direction to do whatever goals and dreams that they want to manifest.

No matter how we try to hide Astrology or other Esoteric approaches, we have to accept that there are some things in life that remains a mystery and unexplained. There is this law of the universe that somewhat attracts use to do something and also have the feeling of we are a part of a whole.
Since the olden days Astrologers studies the position of the planets and stars and they observed that there is a pattern of the planets and stars movements that affects on how we do things and from their observations they either warn people to avoid bad things from happening or to bring good news which makes people either threatened or make false beliefs that a good luck will come but they don't make any effort to attract it.

One of the great examples is the Mercury retrograde period. During this period, it is suggested that people shouldn't make big decisions and final conclusions otherwise your plan might get delayed or cancelled so the best way to take advantage on this Mercury retrograde is to slow down, reflect and resume your big plans on a later date.

To use effectively these kinds of readings, we have to see it as form of insight and if we are somewhat of a risk taker, we are aware of what would the possible consequences and make contingency plans to keep us moving with positivity than be scared and don't do anything. It is like reading between the lines.

North Korea is a good place to stay if....

 

I've been watching some North Korean documentary videos and cuisine and travel vlogs on the net out of my curiosity on their lifestyles especially what they are now. There are lots of travel vlogs around the world that showcase a lot of culture from different countries and luckily North Korea has one however due to their current political state there are some restrictions of what to say and do which tourists have to comply. For as long as it doesn't offend the NK government and the people there then you are good.

Some people who travelled or have seen video footage of the current lifestyle of North Koreans may say that life in North Korea is like living backwards, dull or have been stuck however every time I have seen some videos of people in Pyongyang, they seem to live a decent lifestyle but we do not know what goes behind the scenes and even on other places in North Korea.

For some reason, I find their simple life appealing, and I do feel that North Korea is a nice place to stay for Introverts and for those who practice Minimalism and frugal lifestyle. North Korea is also known as the Hermit country in which they are not aware of the corruptions and the flaws that we are experiencing from the different types of government that we are in. 

If North Korea is free from its current political status and achieves its reunification with South Korea or they become an independent nation of their own, we do hope that they would learn and adapt the positive qualities that they will acquire from the South and other countries that would fit into their current needs not merely adapting it because of the trend as they retain and enhance the existing positive qualities they have as a country especially that simple way of living. They are on the process of rebuilding themselves once it happens. 

True that all the countries around the world have benefited from the technological and other advancements but as a country that starts a new beginning, balance and the ability to discern what is important or not are crucial. We have seen lots of flaws of these advancements and we do hope that countries that would help North Korea rebuild but doesn't repeat the same mistakes that we encounter from these advancements. North Korea has great potential of becoming a better nation once they know how to play their cards well. 

Dealing with negative comments and people on Social Media or even outside of it.

When someone gave us, negative comments do not equate it with negativity by learning how to regulate your emotions and see things on a bigger picture.

There is this saying that you cannot please people around you. No matter what you say or do that is well meant, there would some people who are going to misunderstand you or get skeptical at your motives or even think of trying to pull you down.

We may try to fight back and explain ourselves to those people who misunderstood us but for some situations instead the issue gets being clear, things turn against us that you are the one who ends up as an offender than the one who bash you. While others cannot see a healthy criticism or feedback, they easily offended but what they don't see is this one can appear hurtful but if you see it for a different light, it brings you more growth to succeed.

It is a human nature that we react on certain things and think that the other person who provide us negative comments attacks us personally than to think deeper, reflect and see it as an insight.

To deal with these negative comments, we have to consider these points.

First is, these people saw what they have seen from the outside never seen your whole story, this is why whatever they say take it is a grain of salt and don't be affected. People have different perception of things, and it is easy to judge, form assumptions and dive to misunderstandings than to go deeper to the situation and think carefully. However, if you see that you are truly at fault then apologize.

When you are angry as you see those harsh comments, be silent and think carefully and let days pass before you even reply or better if none at all and ignore. You don't owe them an explanation especially no matter how you explain things to them, they want to hear what is pleasing to them.

Second is think if what they say would benefit you in the long run by simply seeing it on a different light. Be calm, open and receptive and don't see these statements as a way to attack you in person but it is an opportunity for you to learn what people like or don't like and also identify yours as well and make necessary actions that suits you, understanding yourself and your boundaries.

For those who are working towards a goal, never listen to naysayers or people who drain your energy. Believe on yourself and your capabilities and continue working towards it.

You focus on self-care, self-improvement and self-betterment, your priorities and what you want to achieve. When you give focus to these it gives you direction and you are not easily influenced and pressure by others.

Avoid gossips and be affected by it. If people are acting behind your back and makes gossips through comments or other means do not join them. Joining would be a waste of your time and energy, and you may also hurt the other person who is the subject of gossip. Gossips can be entertaining but it destroys relationships. There are other things that are matter instead of listening to it. Seek for the truth of the situation by communicating to the person concern or if not, time and events will always tell the truth. Be mindful with our relationships with others, be kind & compassionate and always seek for quality. and substance.

When we receive harsh comments, it is natural that we also received lots of rejections especially to those people who have different values and mindsets. To deal with these rejections, we need to be self-compassionate.

By practicing self-compassion despite of the flaws we have, we also discover our strengths as a person and become resilient and continue to move forward. Although we have family, friends and support people that can protect and defend us, but the inner work will always come from within. If you want to change your situation, it will always start from you. Not all the time they are always there and from there we need to be strong. Those rejections would also determine whose people are meant for you and acts at the best of your interest. It is time to weed out people who don't elevate us to the higher purpose. Remove yourself from toxic people.

We also try to understand where these people are coming from because there are times people are behaving that way because they feel insecure about themselves. It is also hard for them to accept a different perspective of things while others are dealing stress, and they don't have the right emotions and communication skills to deal with it. We need to see the bigger picture as we also being aware of the details, use it on the right way. There are some people through time realize their fault and make an apology.

All in all, in dealing with these negative comments and feedback whether you are the commenter or receiver, we need to have the strong sense of self. Before we even speak and act, we can also apply the "Four Way Test" of the Rotary club.

- Is it the Truth?

- Is it fair to all concerned?

- Will it build good will and better friendships?

- Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

When you are currently into this situation, I hope that this article would help you deal with this predicament. Thank you for reading.

How to Survive in a Shared Accommodation?

 There are some milestones in our lives that we need to use a temporary accommodation such as hostels, bedspace or living a residential house and we co-living with other people who have different backgrounds than us in other words a complete stranger.

As for the reasons and milestones, we use temporary accommodation to help us get by in the area as a tourist and on a budget, students stays in a dormitory or school flats near to their school while working professionals who are starting with their jobs have to choose a cheaper alternative through bedspace.

As much as we want, we want our total privacy and can do what we want on the accommodation that we are trying to stay but that is not always the case because we have to comply with certain rules for us to get the harmonious stay with the other tenants and be safe and also we can adjust.

In these shared accommodations, we need to to compromise otherwise it would cause a misunderstandings and conflicts to the tenants. Your stay in a shared accommodation would be a living hell.

The common issues that a tenant experience when living a shared accommodation are the following and how do we do it differently to survive?

1. Shut off your mentality that "Customers are always right."

In every accommodation we may try to check in check in such as Hotels, Luxury Condos, Commercialized Hostels or in any private accommodation we always expect that we will be always receiving exceptional service and there is this accommodation staff that will respond at your every demands and whims but in a budgeted hostel, hotels, dormitories and bedspaces this kind of exceptional service sometimes doesn't happened because there are limited resources or personnel available.

Shutting your mentality as "Customers are always right" doesn't mean to downgrade your boundaries or tolerating bad service however what we trying to say is to learn to the side of things from their end and what is the current situation they are in before you even complain and rant. Reflect what you would do if you are in their place and how will you deal with demands that is sometimes unrealistic.

Let me give you a story based from my personal experience.

There was this Canadian lady who checked in on the bedspace that I am in. She was informed that there are some hours that the water supply on the second floor bathroom is not available and that happens most of the days so she was advised that if she needed water, she needs to use bathroom downstairs. She stayed at Bedspace for a few days and one night, she complains that there is no water. True that there was no water running on the faucet but there is plenty of water that she can still used from the basin then she make a harsh statement to the Bedspace host that if there is no water, you shouldn't make this kind of business. 

Me and the host were shocked at her statement. Well true that her statement have a point but what she doesn't understand is that area has a poor water supply and this not something like a broken faucet to be fix and there we have already water supply but area's water supply is monitored and controlled by Maynilad (one of the Philippines' water company). No matter how many times she complains and demands for the water supply to return for as long as Maynilad doesn't sort it at midnight or no permission from them, the  issues of water supply will not be settled. This is why you use what is available and be understanding of the situation first before you say unpleasant to someone. 

The accommodation owner already knows that some of the items will be unavailable or limited but the owner needs to continue the business despite of shortages. For example the host takes the statement of that Canadian lady, do you think it is easy to get a new job? Its a "No" so do not make those statements if you are not aware with the deep situation.

Another situation is there was this gay who expressed his interest of checking in the bedspace and he will come at 11:30 at the venue and he also requested to cook lunch for him at 1pm. The host replied and gave him the address. 

When 1pm came, we never heard from him then so we thought that he will not come however at 2pm, that's the time I heard the host was talking to the person and it seems that the gay was angry because he was trying to call her but no response and he complained that he was tired for searching the address he was provided and say that they don't know the location when he asked.

Then host received threatening message from him after that telling the host that the customer is right. True that the customer is right but as a potential guest/tenant you shouldn't yell and threatened the host because you are only asking permission to let you stay in and the host has the right to accept you or not in the accommodation. In the bedspace that I am currently staying in, we encountered lots of difficult guests and tenants. We experience those people who are war freak and those who stole things from some of the guests, this is why I requested the host not to accept this potential gay guest to the Bedspace because he might disrupt the harmony in the accommodation and might get into trouble with the other occupants. When you are going to a shared accommodation be humble enough and be mindful with the people around and not always doing your own way.

2. Dealing with the issues with the property owner in terms of the rules and payments

Before we even start staying in the accommodation, you have this mini orientation with the owner or the host to inform you about the rules of the house and its conditions. We really need to pay attention to this to prevent any hassles and misunderstandings and ask questions if there is any need for clarification. An example of this would be the use of available resources at the accommodation such as water, disposing of bins, number of hours allowed when you are having a visitor, are drinking and smoking allowed.

When it comes to dealing with payments especially if you are into long term stay and on contract please ensure that you are ready to commit and abide with the rules found on contract until the end.

A lot of mistake happened in some guests/tenants that they avail that 1 month or 3 months or more stays in the accommodation but after a day or two they change their mind and expect that their money to be refunded.

This behavior is not good because it is bad for the business and you have to be understanding enough that the owner or the host of the accommodation have bills to pay for the accommodation on a monthly basis or with other arrangements and simply asking for refund in full or in large percentage is not okay.

It would be a good practice that before you commit to the property you have to visit it and see how the environment is from the area, facilities or people around so you can make adjustments. You can also try to avail a 1 or 2 nights stay and see if you are comfortable with it. If yes, then you may commit to 1 week or month or more stays but if not then you may leave and find a better accommodation for you.

Another issue when it comes to payment is, some tenants may informed the owner that they are out of town for 2 weeks but then their due date falls on that 2 weeks of their absence.

It would be a best practice if you take the intiative to make rent payments in advance and ask for receipt before you go out of town, or other option could be make online payment at exact due date or if it is going to pass the due date gave a definite date of payment so the owner wouldn't feel uncertain and left into thinking when are you going to return and make payments.

Most accommodations have their own rules when it comes to payments and they kick out tenants who don't pay or not paying on time without informing them what was going on with your situation. 

If you are owning a small accommodation business, you can feel that struggle and you may not tolerate those tenants who do such bad behaviors.

As a guests or long term tenants, it is your responsibility to pay on time and inform the owner your situation, if there is any changes. Don't make excuses and play victim that you are not informed because it was informed to you the conditions before the owner allowed you to stay.

If you feel that your due date is near find a way to pay it. Have your money set for that from salary or other sources of income or allowances.

3. Lack of resources for example no extension, faulty appliances like Electric fan or Aircon.

In a shared accommodation, there are instances that there are only lacking or limited number of resources however some guests are using two or more items for example plugs instead of 1 per person. Remember, you are not in a Commercialized hostel, Private room or Studio type of accommodation, luxury condos and hotels but you are in a shared accommodation and you shared with other tenants and guests. You need to leave some for other guests or take turns. 

If you encounter faulty appliances, doors, toilet flush and furniture you immediately report it to the owner so they can quickly fixed it or use an alternative material available if those items takes time to fix and becomes available.

Learn to declutter and tidy on a shared accommodation. Some tenants bring lots of belongings to the accommodation but they are unaware that some tenants complain about the lack of place that they can place their belongings which is unfair for them because they are also paying the rent same as you plus if you bring items like rice cooker, small electric kettle, iron and other items that consume electricity, you need to inform the owner so they in turn will give you the proper fees of using electricity especially if that is not included in your rent fee.

Then finally when you check out or your contract ends be responsible to pay all the expenses that was incur and make everything cleared and clean. The owner/hosts presented the accommodation clean and pleasing to everyone.

Understanding the Fair Housing Act: Why do people discriminate?

While I am creating my portfolio for Multi Listing Service descriptions, I came across with this term, "Fair Housing Act." This act is implemented in US Real Estate settings to which it entails that people have the right to housing regardless of age, religion, sexual orientation, race, status, gender and disability and it strongly discourages people to discriminate others.

When this would be applied in making Multi Listing descriptions, you cannot say for example "This stunning house is perfect choice for gay couples in ...." because it gives an impression that it becomes inclusive to only a certain group and discriminating. 

To understand further about it, I went to see a  video from National Association of Realtors on YouTube and from there this act has a deeper roots and it emphasizes how this act have protected many people. Eventhough this act is on effect up to this day and most people strongly supports it but still there are others who is not in favour of it and still discriminates people either indirectly or subconsciously.

It can't be helped but to think, why there are some people likes to discriminate people? Is there any deeper reason? or do they have a strong basis from it? or simply discriminates out of nowhere or simply follow what the society or trend tells to them.

Here are some of the reasons that I do feel that leads them into this discriminating behaviors.

First is their past experiences or incidences from the kind of people, they are discriminating with. For instance, they have past experience with Africans who are difficult or aggressive. This incident might be over but if there is another African who wants to buy the property, the neighborhood might not accept him because of the past encounter with the previous Africans who visits the place. This can be also applied to someone who has some aggression issues or past criminal offenses that people on the neighborhood will not welcome them.

We can also observed that there is some stereotyping going on because from a small negative behavior, it then completely associates with a certain kind of people and we forget the fact that although they belong to same race or kind of people but it doesn't mean that all of them are doing the same negative behaviors or being a bad bunch of people.

Sometimes some people trust their own intuition about someone before they accept this person in. They may not know the person fully however if they feel something that is having a bad vibes then they will make a decision based from that and instead of doing verification or understand person or people concerned about their real situation.

Next reason in line is, in some countries have accepted people from different nationalities to migrate, study, work or set a business however some people are not in favour of the sight of them. They have this assumption that these foreigners would take everything from them like getting jobs or claim benefits. With the clash of differences in terms of appearance, orientation and values, it may look fine at the surface but deep within there is this brewing tension in the neighborhood.

Discrimination against the vulnerable people and those with disability is also evident in some neighborhoods and what I can see the reason for some people is, they discriminate because of the lack of resources that could support them or it could be their only excuse and simply their personal bias kicks in. One of the neighbors may comment that "You are better of with the other neighborhood." It may sound as if nothing sinister with this comment or it could be well meant but for others there is a hidden hatred of some sorts and this is no good atmosphere in the neighborhood.

Another set of vulnerable people that receiving discrimination are the hoarders, some people are often misunderstood them as difficult people to live with and the hoard that they create affects also the health of their love ones and the neighbors nearby but if you go deeper with the problem, the person concern definitely needs a careful help and not all people have the time to understand that and they would only prioritize first is themselves.

These are the reasons that I do think why discrimination happens based from my observations however there are still more and newly set of reasons that would possibly come in formation or haven't been mentioned. 

Here are some of the things I realized, when we encounter new people on the block, we don't have the time to think, verify and get to know the person on a personal level we have have an immediate tendency to use our biases and judgments or we treat that person poorly but we don't have a rational or valid basis as to why we are doing that or it could be the other way that you as one of the residents that is aware about your rights and you encountered a neighbor that is difficult however you are hesitating to report it the management or with the right authorities for the fear of confrontation and you are misunderstood as someone who discriminates others while you simply asserting boundaries and your rights about your safety. Your success of asserting your rights would depend on a tactful communication and applying the right measures.

During the course of our lives, meeting difficult and discriminating people are inevitable however whatever their behavior towards you always keep your ground and know your rights and be aware of the legal laws and right measures in dealing with these kind of people. We also need to accept the fact that eventhough we paid for the property, we cannot always do everything we want (for example making some loud noise and music at night while the neighborhood is settling themselves to sleep or bringing unknown item that jeopardize the safety of everyone without the consent). Before we do anything new in our neighborhood, the first thing we must do is to review and see if it complies with the Home Owners Association (HOA) and seek consultation and permission from them is possible. It is important to be mindful about your neighbors and the living dynamics in that community to maintain harmonious and peaceful living relationship with them.

As for neighbors who are having judgements towards others, it would be better to understand your whys and what is your valid reasons of doing such behavior and see yourself if you are on their situation. Would you be happy if you are being receiving a bad treatment just like them?

To see the change you are seeking, having passive aggressive behaviors or even a direct form of aggression wouldn't help anyone nor solve any issues. Let your needs and boundaries be known by having an open and honest communication about it. Sometimes by talking about your side of things makes people understand where you are coming from and they mentioned theirs. They will adjust accordingly or it could be that you set your expectation bars too high that people cannot simply keep up with it. Learn to have compassion to others and compromise a bit so everyone can reach a common ground to leave harmoniously.

Regulating our emotions, compassion and communicating with others effectively are things that we need in these tough situations. We know that life is tough to some, so why you add the burden by discriminating the people because they are different to you and they have nothing against you personally. Just like you, they are also trying to cope with life. Get to know people more instead of letting your assumptions, judgments and suspicions about someone gets ahead of you. If the person is confirmed as posing a threat to someone or the majority, that's the time legal measures takes place. Regardless whether you follow the Fair housing act & other housing acts in US and in other countries and is experiencing discrimination then these are the thoughts to reflect by and we need an appropriate mindset to take an action.
