Heading: Sports
What is it about sports that men are soooo.... obsessed with? Now don't get me wrong I like sports but I tell you these days I feel like it's coming out of my pores with this husband of mine who looooo...ves sports not just one but all, the channel moves from one sport to the other, basketball, cricket, golf, tennis, you name it he watches it. Oh how could I forget his favorite pastime football, he eats and breathes this game. To be honest I am just fed up to the point that I could "SCREAM".
Help!!

Heading: Work
Why does work have to feel like a chore, isn't it supposed to be something that you enjoy doing? When did it become a chore? I can't even remember the last time I enjoyed going to work. Why do bosses and supervisors find it necessary to make work your work life so miserable and uncomfortable yet still expect you to function at full capacity and pleasant. Don't they think that it would be better for everyone to treat people with respect and dignity and they would get the same in return. "You catch more bees with honey rather than vinegar".
Food for thought.

Heading : Positivity
I remember my mother saying to me when I was younger "if you have nothing good to say shut your mouth", and this has stayed with me as a lot of other thins that I was taught growing up and I find that it is one of the things that still holds true for today's world. When commenting about something or someone if you can't give a positive suggestion or critique with some positivity to back it up please do as my mom says and "Shut Yuh Mouth", because it does nothing but brings the person down and discourages them and depending on the individual he would retrieve into a shell and would not want to contribute again.
So please be so ever mindful of other people's feelings.

Heading; Fees, Fees, Fees
Why is it that every other country except Trinidad and Tobago are raising their fees. Departure tax, visa fees, where are the subsidies for us, we spend so much money to travel to other countries yet most of the countries we travel to don't even need visas to come to our island, I think that we are losing a lot of money this way and something needs to be done to rectify this. Some food fro taught....

Heading: Experience vs Qualifications
This is a battle that has been going on in the public sector for some time and there seems to be no end in sight for some time to come, experience vs qualifications. Yes I do believe that you should be qualified but there has to be something to be said for the experienced. The young people of today are qualified yes but ask them to do simple tasks and they can't perform and it is the experienced person who has to show them how.
Now these qualified people come into an institution in higher posts but the experienced people whom they are in charge of have to show them how to do the job. Is that fair? If I can do the job I deserve the position you can't just use me!!!

Heading: Don't Compare
It is something that has been on my mind for a long time, the fact that some parents find it necessary to compare their children to other kids who my be perceived to be doing well in school. I am here to express to parents that this only causes stress and discomfort to your child, the feeling that they are not good enough, what they do is not good enough and therefore causes self esteem problems for the child. Maybe you need to find out that child's strengths and weaknesses are and nurture the weakness so that it would become a strength.
Each child is a different and unique individual accept them for who they are.

Heading: Is it right for parents to decide their children's future?
I think that it is wrong for parents to impress upon their children what they would like for them to accomplish in life, it should be left up to the child to decide on what they feel passionate about and would like to pursue in life and the parents should just be there to guide, support and give advise, not to control and take over.
Where structure and planning is needed there should they be to nurture. So please parents you lived your life already let the kids do what they need to do to mature and learn life's lessons.
