Week 14 – The Importance of Achieving Truly Individual Goals

Odds are that if you’ve gone to school or listened to any sort of “successful” person on the radio/YouTube/etc., then you know that goals are important. You also probably know that achieving goals are important. It’s fairly common knowledge. But what’s not as well known is the importance of achieving truly individual goals, which can propel you to accomplish other tasks.

Now when I say truly individual goals, I don’t mean plain old individual goals. To be more specific, Continue reading “Week 14 – The Importance of Achieving Truly Individual Goals”

Random Things I’m Thankful For

[Thankful for the above: my mom and brother came out to visit me in NYC last week]

This Thanksgiving, I’m truly thankful. I’m thankful for those of you who read these blog posts, consistently or not. I’m thankful that some of my posts (especially from The Serious) have benefited these same readers. Aside from this website, I’m thankful for my family (immediate and extended), friends (and acquaintances), and the support that they give me. I’m also grateful for a great many more things this serious in nature…and for a lot of things that aren’t so serious.

So without further ado, here’s a  small sampling of the random things I’m thankful for: Continue reading “Random Things I’m Thankful For”

Week 12 – Pick and Choose

[The theme song for this blog post is “The Choice Is Yours” by Black Sheep. Yeah, this blog post has a theme song. I’m changing it up. The revolution will be televised.]

Over the last month and a half, things have gotten a bit hectic. Between midterms, basketball, creative writing, my business, this website, and a plethora of other things, I simply haven’t been able to do everything which as much vigor as I would prefer. I’ve had to pick and choose what activities I give precedence to, what I let my thoughts dwell on, and when and how long I fulfill other personal and external commitments. This is an important thing to master, because it’s applicable to every walk of life; regardless of age and background. Continue reading “Week 12 – Pick and Choose”

Week 11 – Squeezing The Most Out Of A Week

Back in high school, here in college, and (I’m assuming) professionals in the work place often fail to do it. And if they do, then, like me in high school, it may only be for a couple weeks (if that) at a time. But going to college here in New York City, I have no choice if I want to achieve all my goals and aspirations. I have to squeeze the most I can out of every week.

Before I can do that though, I have to make the most out of every day. Doing this takes a combination of Continue reading “Week 11 – Squeezing The Most Out Of A Week”
