Motivation to move forward Today. Today I have this burning desire to succeed and I'm sure majority of it all stems from my mother, and her powerful stance she took on parental guidance, and nurturing us to become strong solid men. Many people today seem to lack motivation for some odd reason, and they all have their own personal excuse's for such a thing. I have been able to detect ways of helping others with this issue, I'm not going to be like my mom though & try to do the drill sergeant method of motivating people. I'm simply going to list many themes to begin focus upon, and attempt to inspire people from my own personal experiences. Those who choose to use this help or form of guidance.
I just hope they all can learn to take the information, or ideas to help others in their path. This is the most that I can do today as being a very self motivated individual who knows what it takes to get things started, especially while under a great deal of pressure. Extreme Sports - What's in your bag of tricks. Skate or Die - The wonder years of New York City Streets When I was young what had appealed to me most in the sporting arena was skateboarding. I'll never forget the very first time I saw a skateboard & not one on television. I must have been about 7 or 8 years old back then, and when I tried to stand on it I simply fell on the floor. At that time I was living in the big city of New York at 174th street in the Bronx in a tough dangerous drug infested neighborhood at the time, so skate boarding became a way out of street life for us young city kids. Not everyone there was bad, or into drug dealing then our building we lived in was probably the cleanest one & had the most friendly people too.
I couldn't understand why someone would take a board and put some wheels underneath it, so that you could fall, and almost break your head. Now this was two years prior to a whole new introduction to a much large type of skateboard that was to soon enter into my life. Flash - & Drag and Drop Design. It takes some getting use to, to discover where the hidden features are located, for each application tooling & advanced user interface capabilities. For the most part it's fairly simple to get it all started though, once you get the hang of it, you won't wanna let go of the mouse.
Dragging things into place on the screen & then seeing the results of your laboring is definitely a super rewarding experience. Many people pick up quickly on how to work the flash tooling of the editor, especially with the usage of the mini-page, which allows for hidden pages to be built within a single web page. Powerful imaging tools, & audio/video rendering software also goes into the inner workings of this editor. To become a real force to contend with in the flash web development industry you truly need to become familiar with such things as SEO, Social networking tools & forming team collaborations, Usage of HTML widgets from third party websites (such as youtube).
The true power behind Cloud Computing. The true powers behind this new technological advancement they call Cloud Computing actually begins at your network connection; without a good network connection, people have no way to gain access to it's powerful source of networking potential. The speed of your network also makes all the difference dealing with cloud computing, and how effective it will be for the average user as well as advanced users, such as online business owners. The companies that currently offer these Cloud services utilizing power computing, all deal with any technical issues that arise due to faulty programming or invasion from intruders on their networks.
We only responsible for making the best network connection as possible on our end, in dealing with the type of internet service provider we choose and the devices we purchase. Keeping up today does make all the difference when it comes to high powered technologies such as the usage of computing online. Conclusion. Romancing the Stones by Dancing. Going out to clubs to find people, to date, to have fun with friends, and to seek a romantic night of dancing pleasure is what many people do today, and have been doing for years. A night club can make for a great escape from the everyday hustle, and pressures that people experience, so dancing is what many look forward to.
I loved watching the dirty dancing movie many years back as a child, which became my motivation to learn as well, & so movies can help us all get into the swing as well. Romance on the dance floor in a club can be tough at times depending on how crowded it is, the female to male ratios & the particular season of the year it is as well. I do believe the summer is the best time to go out and party with a loved one, because when it comes to romance the less clothes the better sometimes.
Rap Lyrics in Controversy. Tupac's life, was one that ended in rebellion against the world itself and tragedy as well us as Biggie who appeared to be his enemy to the rap scene, but it was definitely associated to him becoming anti-american in many ways through his lyrics & social movements he got started. Him and Biggie Smalls we're actually friends long ago and we're going to unite their music movements prior to being persuaded, and misled by instigators on the ground to begin waring and fighting verbally in lyrics against one another back in the late 90's.
He began a movement of his own through his music which stirred up a huge uproar from as far as the west coast of the US, to the East coast, from inner city to inner city, and even reached many rural communities. His music was very serious at times, and was loaded with tremendous passion about many deeply embedded inner city stories of lives that were shaken by poverty & harsh living conditions. Meditative Focus.
At this point I was over joyed to actually have in my possession something that has captivated my mind for years, leaving me wondering & desiring to learn much more about it all. I quickly got to the reading of each book, I was so absorbed into them that I literally read 8 books in a matter of 2 weeks, this was something I had never done before. The content levels of the info I was absorbing was far beyond my previous college experiences I had studied years back of some related subjects. This all lead me to the core of my inquiries as to what was the true origins of such a metaphysical thing as meditation.
What occurred shortly after my new found attained knowledge's and discoveries was quite a surprise, I never imagined it all to be as simple as it was put. The meditative teaching's from these books had a central focus, and it was all about what it takes to learn how to meditate correctly. The main purpose of meditation all depends on the person & what level they choose to take it too. I Can't think of what to write my next hub about. Poetry for me became a sort of artful game, where I could literally jump into a hidden reality that never ever existed before, but through writing these new found realities of my mind, bright new radiant idea's would suddenly pop up like colorful butterflies do so unexpectedly, on some nicely weathered dreamy day. Each line allows for a differing view or perspective, but doesn't have the same rigid structure of a prose piece of literature.
It wasn't long before I was able to fill up an entire book with words I was gathering from all around me. I had consumed words in mass quantities from books, encyclopedia's, library's & dictionary's. I was determined to be something of an anomaly, by the time I reached adulthood, at least on the mental capacity level. Today I enjoy writing on the web, for many reasons then one, but definitely to express my knowledge on differing subjects. Life brings new meaning to poetry. Levitation. College Life - Venturing Around Campus. First day Out On Campus College campuses are something of a fantasy for most young people, and it was a dream for me to finally get onto it to meet others like me. Knowing that college presents great academic challenges for us all, I was to make the best of my very first day out on campus at Manhattan College, located in New York City, in a rich area of the Bronx borough known as Riverdale.
After leaving my college dorm called Chrysostom Hall, I decided to venture off into the main campus area, where I was to meet a large number of other students filtering through the stair cases & walking in various directions. It was so exciting to finally meet the many new faces, & college personalities on campus especially the veteran students that have had knowledge of the physical things to do there at Manhattan College & all the cool places to become more actively involved with. I was happy to see everything unfolding in a manner that I expected, and definitely in the beginning of college.
The College Experience - my take on it all. I went to college back when college was truly a fun experience, people wasn't losing their minds, & doing harm to themselves or others back then due to the harsh survival stats today with the economy and all. It was the year 1993, and I was 18 years old at the time, these times had their up's & downs for me & my family in particular. I was somewhat forced to drag my clothing through the city trains in a shopping cart, it definitely felt embarrassing, but I am proud to speak about it today. Now this might all sound kinda lame compared to today's stories of survival, but this is my true experience. On levels of authenticity this hub should hit a pretty high score with folks here, considering the fact that I'm pulling this one out of my actual life experiences as a youth.
I really had to hustle my butt off just to get to the dorms, my mom & brothers were residing in a homeless shelter where I pretty much felt relieved to escape from. College Activities. I use to love watching the Manhattan Jaspers play basketball, this NCAA D-1 team when I was in college around 1993 was serious. Their head coach at the time was Coach Franscilla, I forgot what his first name was, but oh well I guess I can google it.
LOL. The important part for me was in how the teams chemistry was actually formulated, and how they displayed such a powerful presence on the court throughout all the years I was there. I got the opportunity to actually participate in their pre-season cross training with them, even though I had no scholarship for basketball, or the fact that I weren't even on the team. I think they liked my motivation, so the head coach allowed me to run with them every morning at 6am before the school day began. This to my surprise was something that made me believe, that my dreams of making it in the basketball arena would finally come true one day. The School of Civil Engineering. Calculus-I was actually the easiest class for me, and I'm sure many of you reading this hub would think I was crazy for saying that.
I've always been an amazing mathematician since I were young in grade school, so at every interval of learning the subject I excelled at it far above the average math student. I actually enjoyed math so much that I was doing equations all the time in my head where ever I went, the only time I didn't practice math problems was when I had to learn a differing subject, and even then the equations would somewhat float around in my head. I use to have to force myself not to think about it all, but I loved me some math especially calculus. Since I were an engineering student at the time, this love of math came in handy for me. Engineering involves some pretty complex usages of mathematical formulas and each student is expected to have a strong hold on the basic principles that support the presence of such subject matter. Collective Idea's. Does Life have a true Purpose? Purpose is something that people find hard to define for oneself.
My purpose in life is one that has a biological essence, a philosophical order, a social atmospheric pressure, a conduct that's disorderly at times, & spiritually may be seen as absent when not focused upon. Overall the purpose to life in general seems to lean towards repeated efforts to achieve levels of successive achievements, on the grounds of survival, mental capacity, physical expression, spiritual awakenings, governmental freedoms as well as controls, & humanities interpretations of the world as a whole. The purpose of particular things for instance will be determined by the means at which it's usage can have some sort of end to it. Now the original purpose of that same object may also change it's directed course of action depending on the objectives of it's user.
History, Lies & Deception. Does Adulthood take a toll on People Today. Becoming an adult today can actually be a very difficult task, and notice I stated task. Many years ago adulthood came with a host of well known responsibilities, that were all based on real world experiences. Today these responsibilities have somewhat been altered in it's level of intensity, and direction of what's expected of an average adult living in a civilized social environment. These responsibilities dealt with the fact that adulthood is something not to be taken lightly in any way, shape, or form. This is mostly true because becoming an adult entails the fact that many major factors of decision making is tied into the fabric of all civilized societies. Many lives have been interwoven into situational complexities that involve outside forces, such as schooling, laws, government, church, and regulations that define the rules of a given system people have grown to depend on.
Major Earth Quake - East Coast. There was a massive 5.9 earth quake that hit the east coast today August 23, 2011. Many people were slightly shaken up by it's powerful shock wave, that had neighboring homes shaking. This quake was sudden and lasted about 2 minutes in New York City, it stretched across for miles on end, from places like Detroit Michigan, Washington DC, Toronto, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and many many more states in the United States. We have some news footage of the Quakes actual occurrence from Youtube & many other channels on the web, were hoping this will help people get an idea of what had actually occurred on that very day. There may be more of these natural disaster events occurring worldwide so keep posted to your local & national news stations for the latest updates.
The Pentagon was evacuated as well as many other locations in the US so that a sort of safety response system could be put in place, just in case if anything further was to occur like after shocks or what have you. Hurricane Irene. AfterMath of Irene in Jamaica Queens.
