No Need to Be Fake, Bring on the Real!

Too many times people try to be what they are not and say what they are not.  You are living a lie.  There is no need to be dishonest about what you are. Most people like to be so proud and full of boast. 

If you want to be proud, then why not be proud of your real self; the true you.

People like to hide behind masks so people don't know the real person, maybe because the real person.  Some people might be liars and cheats or something else that is not really a good thing to be.  If you don't like who you are then change. But don't lie about who you are.  It isn't fair for people to not know who you are. 

And it actually isn't fair to yourself either.  There is such freedom in being yourself. 

If you hate something don't pretend to like it.  If you like something don't pretend you hate it.

This is real talk. Like it or hate it.  Cool. Either way, it is honest and real.

The Power of the words "Thank you"

If any of you work with the public like me then you know what it is like to encounter all kinds of people with all kinds of attitudes.  Some look grouchy, some sound grouchy, some are angry and take it out on you the minute they see you even if you had nothing to do with the reason they are upset.

Then others come walking to you, you greet them and they stay silent.  You proceed to help them and then they turn and walk away without even saying a word, never mind a thank you.  It's just amazing to me that people expect you to roll out a red carpet for them and then they do not even have common courtesy.  What is that all about?

I think some people are just down right miserable.  Others I think put on this front of toughness while they are out.  But come on really.  What are you accomplishing by being rude to me?

As I write this I have people coming to me and the last 4 in a row didn't even say thank you for my helping them.  I know we are supposed to be the "bigger person" but when you are dealing with mostly rude all day, that can be very draining.

So the bottom line is, if you are one of those people who comes into a public place and does not respond to the person helping you or does not say thank you for the assistance or help that someone provides, I ask you that you consider a small smile and a thank you for the help you have received.  It's just common courtesy. 

Why Do We Obsess Over Celebrities?

Unless you have been living under a rock lately, you know that every radio station, TV channel and online source is talking about Charlie Sheen and giving their thoughts, opinions and two cents. We have an eye on his interviews and follow his tweets to see every word he says.  Why?  

Why do we rush to the TV or the computer to see what celebrities are doing, saying, tweeting and such?  Sometimes I think it is the drama.  If we do not have enough drama in our own personal lives already we tune in to partake in the drama of others.  And celebrities are the ones whose lives are put on display constantly, by either themselves or the media that chance them.  

It is what people love or else every other show in TV today wouldn't be a reality show.  But why do people love it?  Weigh in and tell me.  Leave a comment if you like.
