Types Of Energy Vampires In today's world, wars are no longer fought over gold mines, as in the 19th century, but over energy sources such as oil, or there is the media war for clicks and views. It takes your attention away from others and drains your energy. With energy vampires, unfortunately the majority of people think, that if they need energy, they get it from another person, who is full of energy and not from natural sources, that are easily available.

How To Create A Lasting Impression When we meet new people, and here I am thinking of especially friends of our own friends, I can't express how important it is to make a good impression on them. Not only for ourselves, but we also don't want to embarrass our friends in front of their friends. After all, they introduced us to them, it's important that the first impression of us is a particularly good one. It doesn't take too much time for someone to make a judgment about us…
Finally She Said Yes She finally said yes. I could hardly believe my ears, when I heard the three-letter word slip out of her mouth. I was so happy, that I could have caught a bird and brought the stars down from the night sky. I had been waiting for this moment to finally say "yes" for a very long time. I know what you're thinking, and maybe you've already imagined, that I'm living one of the most beautiful moments of my life, as I get down on one knee and ask my partner to…
Self-Sabotage I.E. Not Achieving Our Goals Everyone sabotages themselves in some way. It would be a shame to deny, that they don't. Self-sabotage is in everyone, even if we don't realize it, because we do it unconsciously. What Is Self-Sabotage? When you know you have a goal or something you should do, but you don't do it, because you limit yourself in it.

Staying Happy With Insurmountable Problems Do we sometimes feel, that we have insurmountable problems? When we've tried everything, but we can't find a solution to our problems. We are faced with the problem. We can call them in many different ways. Difficulty, crisis, bad family relationships and so on. So there is the problem, which is given. What comes next as a second step? The solution. We try to find a way out of the given problem, but I don't mean running away from…
Indifference Versus Motivation In some of my previous articles, I have talked about achieving goals and how inspiration can have a positive impact on achieving goals and dreams. However, there are days or even weeks, that can go by when you simply don't care about anything, you are not inspired by anything. We feel that the goal we have set for ourselves is too big and too far away. This is not what causes us to show indifference, but rather we are influenced by what is…
The Case Of Steve With Lisa Young Steve is in his twenties, a little shy and reserved, but all the more open with his friends. He kept to himself and found it hard to make friends. Even at work, he was always looking for ways to work alone. Of course, it was different there, because teamwork meant, that he didn't have the opportunity for that. He always did his job honestly and conscientiously. As the months went by, he got to know his colleagues better and better, and they…
The Case Of Steve With Lisa (Part 2) As the boys were on their way home, they stopped for a big burger at a nearby diner. The burger diner opens early on Sunday mornings for the hungry youngsters streaming out of the disco. Nothing better at 5am than a well-stuffed cheeseburger. Of course, the curious enquiries were not to be missed. Starting with how well you disappeared. We thought you went home without a word. And then the boys gave a good talking to Steve, as is typical…
The Forgiveness There are people who leave us in anger, who leave us and may be resentful forever. Is this because of pride, is it a cultural thing or a human trait? What can we do about it? These people must be in that certain biblical state outside of paradise. The unforgiveness and anger is living in them. Everyone wants to stand up for what is right and fight to get what is right. Anger is a kind of response reaction in human. When somebody hurts me for some reason, I…
Story Of A Cracked Pot And How Our Mistakes Helps Us Progress No one is perfect, people say, and we say it about ourselves. There is no such thing as a perfect person and everyone admits it. We often don't even know why we are not perfect, what our faults are or what makes us imperfect. If however we do know, we should not lie to ourselves, we should not be ashamed, we should not try to hide it and perhaps most importantly, we should own up to our own mistakes. I know a…

The Haunted Ones (Chapter One) The Invisible Man I was driving towards Hazelburgh, when my car unexpectedly broke down. It seems like I am stuck in the middle of the nowhere as I cannot see anyone around, who could help me to get out of my trouble. Suddenly a bright light appears in front of me and I hear someone shouting at me: ***-Are you okay? Are you okay?*** ***- Yes!*** I immediately run towards the bright light and start approaching it with all my strength. I hoped…
The Haunted Ones (Chapter Two) The Hotel Room When we arrived I thanked the man for his help and we said goodbye. He got out of my car and slowly walked away. I then drove on. The first thing I noticed, that there were many old houses along the main street. I found it really interesting, that there was some kind of 'pattern' behind the types of houses, that got spared. There were some that got turned into shops, others became apartments, some were just left as they are now.…
The Haunted Ones (Chapter Three) Final Kenosha The Ghost Town We both sat in my car and aimed to go to the lady's friend. As I started to drive, I noticed, that there are a lot of people around. Look how many people! The lady looked around and said: Yes, it's the local celebration. There should be more people on the streets, but... Before she can complete that sentence, I heard shots and screams in the streets. I looked around and realized, that everyone around me is…
Freedom Of Speech And Human Rights In The Digital Age The internet has allowed for the spread of ideas and information, that would have been impossible to reach before.

There are certain things you can say on the internet, that aren't really acceptable. Things like racism, sexism,…

Will Artificial Intelligence Replace Jobs? There are many reasons why the world is going in a wrong direction, but one of them, that I think is very important and has been overlooked by most people is the fact, that we have created an entire industry based on the idea of replacing human jobs. The reason for this is because it makes business sense. We can't all be working in let's say fast food restaurants, so let's just hire robots instead! If you don't believe me, ask Elon…
From The Ancient Civilizations To The New World The ancient civilizations of the world were all based on a single idea: to survive. The concept, that you could live in a place, where there was no war, disease or starvation. A place where people had enough food and water to be happy and healthy. It's amazing how many ideas we have about what life should be like, but they're all based around survival. And it makes sense! Without survival, there is no happiness. You can have…

It was also the era, when music became more popular than ever before, which led to an explosion in new bands and genres. This meant, that there were many more influences on music during this time period, than there are today.

Boost Your Confidence To Reach Your Goals Sooner I believe, that it is a lot easier to reach a certain goal, when we do it with confidence.
