This statement tends to be true in the way that a day is always a good day but being a good or bad day, depends on people’s moods for such specific day. The day itself cannot say that “I am a good or bad day”; only people define the nature of the day depending on certain factors such as people’s moods, climate of the day, etc.
Someone can be of good mood when waking up and due to natural inevitable circumstances; his or her day becomes automatically a bad day. For example, one lady wakes up knowing that it’s her birthday and she already planned to make a party later in the evening but when realising that there will be raining the all day, that specific day can become automatically a bad day for her. At the other hand, a person desperate of obtaining a job, being somewhere unhappy in his or her state of mind, suddenly receives a call that he or she has been offered a permanent job in a managerial position; do you know how that day can become a lovely day for such a person?
Every day is not always a good day but every day can be defined and influenced by people’s attitudes and the day’s nature factors such as whether, etc. A day can be a good day to someone who is enjoying that specific day and can also be a bad day to someone who is facing troubles in such specific day.

Our greatest strengths are our greatest weaknesses
This statement can be acknowledged by people depending on their beliefs on self-confidence and it is clear that some may agree with and others not. This statement can really show the pride that people have for themselves; they believe that once reached a certain level of achievement in life, no one can blame or advise them on such specific achievement.
People mostly are ignorant; they think that world is static and not dynamic; once achieved an expertise, they become confident to control the world in such expertise, sometimes even in other areas of expertise as they possess then the “I can do it”. Such people can be classified as traditional researchers because from the scientific point of view, one might recognise that he or she can be replaced by another person who can shade lights on what he or she has achieved so far.
One Democratic Republic of Congo’s Professor stated that “a Lecturer is an eternal student” and why it is difficult for others to recognise that one can never say that he or she is static and what not dynamic? Achieving certain levels in life makes people to believe that that forms their strengths and they by self-confidence, they normally find themselves in a later stage that they do not perform well or being replaced by others because of pride that is or was created from such performance. In fact, what might be your strength can only be another person’s part of strengths.

Feelings follow behaviour
Feelings come from the inside and behaviour plays the role of reflecting such feelings outside; one’s feelings and behaviour can determine in what mood the person is in that specific moment and thus can also determine the reasons why one’s reaction in a specific situation. Feelings follow behaviour or vice versa i.e. behaviour also follows feelings.
Referring to the above, it is simply clear that there is a relationship between feelings and behaviour. However, people tend to misuse their feelings by behaving in bad way such as committing crimes and so on and taking that as excuses before judges in courts or even at families when trying to sort out things or conflicts friendly.
Some might argue against this statement but others would agree with such as statement as behaviour only reflects people’s feelings. It should even be said that behaviour follows feelings and one might say “I feel like doing this or that” and then later you will see such person doing what he or she felt like to do; therefore, his or her behaviour explained/reflected his or her feelings.
Others however would support such statement in the psychological aspect; there might be a relationship between feelings and behaviour due to the fact all are not physical things that one can touch but as they are from the inside and only reflected outside and they should be connected to one’s soul and spirit. Or everything connected to spirit or soul should be in relationship each other. That the reason why sometimes, one can justify him/herself that did not mean to do such a crime but did it i.e. from one’s feelings even he/she did not want that to happen but as connect to the spirit or soul, such person would behaviour according to his/her feelings.

It is better to practice a little than to talk a lot
This statement is obviously clear when it comes to scientific point of view as practice makes better or even perfect but talking too brings nothing at all. It is never stated somewhere that scientifically, talking too much would contribute to an achievement unless that when it comes to negotiations but still you cannot talk too much as a negotiation is a win-win process.
To some extent I would personally agree to such statement as most of time people who talk too much sometimes do also practice a lot and from their achievements, they are then proud of themselves and they feel like talking too much to praise the outcomes of their practice. If we look at someone like Tupac Shakur, he had what himself called big mouth i.e. he liked to talk too much but at the end, he was one of the best rappers at the time. He was like a prophet; everything he was singing about, later was realised or accomplished. Same applied even in his late album “Maccaveli” when he predicted his death and later he died. What was positive from him, he practiced hard and then talked too much from his well-doing.
However, scientifically, it is wise to first practice and then talking based on what you have achieved. That does not mean that one might talk a lot but should talk little to support what he or she has achieved in terms of promoting such achievements.
It is better to practice as well as to talk by respecting one’s limits or boundaries i.e. one might talk based on certain purposes such as specific achievements not by infringing others’ rights or achievements, just to avoid conflict, trouble and/or judicial consequences.

It is a poor idea to lie to yourself
I always say that if you are sure about yourself, you should not worry about the things. If you lie to others, your conscious will tell you that it is a lie and why lying to yourself as long as you know that it is a lie?
From the religion point of view, a real man is measured while facing obstacles and when lying to people, you cannot lie your conscious and the Almighty God who is our Creator cannot be lied as He knows the past, present and the future! Unless that you are not a Christian nor believe in God that you can behave in such a way.
From the scientific point of view, you can lie others but your research shall be expelled once caught in fraud and not able to defend it before the members of the jury. Even in academic context, you can be penalised from copyright or plagiarism. At the end of the day, you will put yourself in a bad position from the idea to lie, which is called a poor idea as your own conscious knowing the status of your situation and even facing the charge, you will not be able to defend yourself before the judge unless that you do not care about your conscious and would not mind to cheat or to be called a criminal because the idea to lie to yourself will lead you to criminality.

Not all who wander are lost
I tend to agree to this statement as life is a real game and most of people who have succeeded are those who wander as take the chance to be where no one would like to be but whoever who is not afraid of risks, basically does not risk in reality.
Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland, sated once “If you are going nowhere in particular…any road will take you there”, and then Dr. David Crombie would agree that “If you are going somewhere in particular…expect the unexpected”. That said, life is completely filled of surprises and if you only seat there and wait for others to do everything for you, you should not blame yourself to your destiny as those who wander and one day find themselves in position of controlling the world by not being always lost.
Despite fortune favours prepared mind i.e. more you are prepared, less surprises; those people wandering the future of their lives are not always lost as to some extent they always get the unexpected. We can get the example of Colgate, he wandered and today he is one of the rich people in this planet.
This statement applies in our daily basis life, actually in politics; we see some politicians who are not even well educated but once enter politics by adventure, finally become successful leaders more than the well educated politicians with a planned vision. That should teach us good lessons on how not all who wander are lost. To be continued!

How do you step from the top of 100-foot pole?
This requires a deeper reflexion on how to step from the top of a 100-foot pole; what really happened from one to be at the top and how did he or she have to get there? Somehow there was a ladder, there were steps, or he or she has been dropped there by a helicopter?
From my opinion, taking such a risk would not work for many but there might be people out there who always take chances and always experience life in the way that a normal human being would not. This said, how do you expect someone like me to step from the top of 100-foot pole, even offered millions of dollars, I would not agree to such a proposition because I’d be dead before I get such money and what about my family? Oh, no I would never take such a risk or adventure myself!
There is however an old saying stating that if everyone is from the same thought that means that no one deeply thinks i.e. being realistic, I do not think that this should happen to me as long as I am awake and surely if such thing happens to me, I would conclude that it is only a dream and what the best to do for stepping from the top of 100-ffot pole, it’s just to wake-up and that nightmare will end there. Who says better?
