Own The Moment


If there is one thing that I have learned is that life only presents you with certain moments, certain chances to act or remain still. The cliche is that life is short, this is true, life does and can pass by in a flash and you will be left wondering how things could, would, and should, have gone had you decided to act, had you Owned the Moment that life present. Another lessons is that you cannot recreate the moment once it has past, once the door shuts a window will not open for you to still enter the house of opportunity you will forever miss out. Everyday you are placed at a crossroad where you can continue to walk on the path you have been or you can choose to change directions but you have to choose you have to seize the day, you have to Own the Moment or you will always wonder...

School House Lock


There was a point in time in history where people were overwhelmed with debt, they owed the banks for their houses, cars, and even their healthcare. Today I see a similar version of mass debt dealing with the college tution. College tution is being increased while government and state funding for these schools have decreased causing people to ultimately have to take out a loan to pay for their "education." Our society and our government has stressed the importance of education, more specifically the importance of college education in a fast changing more COMPETITIVE world. But how important is education when a student must drop out of school, or cannot register for classes because they owe the school money??? The underlying meaning of this is money is more important than education, the money that you pay in order to get into school and the money that you owe after you graduate. The dollar has greater value than your mind. After you have worked hard in school, you are then forced to work harder to pay for it, it is a continuous endless cycle similar to our justice system but instead of prision they put you in a university.
