Under a Thousand Words

As a parent, we want everything that is best for our child. We want them not only to be alive but also to have a higher and decent chance in success and life. We want them to grow strong because we had witnessed how cruel the world could be if one doesn’t know how to stand on his own feet. Making sure that your child is properly nurtured is indeed on of the biggest task a parent could have. Aside from making them live a happy life, we also worry so much on preparing them for the inevitable future circumstances that they’ll meet along the way. Of course, we cannot stop them from growing up. That’s why the best thing that we could do is equipping them with some useful skills and knowledge to help them overcome challenges. Proper education is necessary, no doubt. However, mental nourishment outside the classroom also plays a big role in shaping your kid and helping them win in life. Extracurricular activities can make your child be one step ahead to those who solely rely on ...

Finding love was never easy for any of us. Since the mid eighteenth century, the state or quality of being romantic has taken the world by storm. The romantic ideology of love which originated in Europe was greatly influenced by many artists, poets, and philosophers. This great influence that they created had widely spread throughout the globe and it eventually affected most people’s lives. Up until now, we can still see it in some books, novels, movies, TV shows, music, and many more.s Growing up in a world where the majority of us value “love” the most, it is so surprising that human culture had developed some practices that celebrate this magical feeling at least once a year. In a world where love is scarce, I think having a person to share our hearts with is already worth celebrating for. Since Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, we can expect to get lots of different emotion during its celebration.  Of course, not all heart cases are the same on a heart’s d...

As we all know, business is about having sales. That is highly correct. But behind those known and established brands lies some very clever techniques to generate a single purchase. Selling a product or service to a targeted group of customers is not just about having a good product. Although a good product is indeed very important, successful businessmen understand their market deeply. They know their age, their gender, their income bracket, their thinking as well as their behavior. They use these kind of information to come up with strategies that will affect their purchasing behavior in no time. Aside from the noticeable efforts in marketing like personal selling, advertising, sales promotions, events, and many more, there are also lots of subtle methods which can still affect the mind of the customers even without words or involvement of another person. One great example of this is the interior design of big retail stores here in Singapore . Even before we decide to enter ...

As you decide to create or build your own home, you are also deciding to create a new life. Your home will reflect the kind of plans you have in the future, how you want your life to feel and look like, how you want to settle, and a whole bunch of things about you that will define you as a person. If you are still not looking forward about the design or even just the simple structure of your dream or future home, chances are, you also still don’t have a strong personal outlook in life. Maybe you just want a roof where you can shelter and not a place where you look forward to build yourself with a brighter future. If you think about this deeper, you will understand why we find it very difficult to figure out the structure of our dream house. You have to examine everything from the smallest details to the largest components of each and every part of the house. Everything from the wall colors down to the floor tiles, pieces of furniture, lighting and decorations – should coordina...

Deny it all you want but whether you like it or not, beauty and physical appearance does play a very important role in the world that we are living in. As much as we want to think about an ideal world where everyone is being treated equally and nicely, we cannot also control the fact that every person has their very own standard that affects their preference and thinking. This is not only true and applicable with the people around you but also to yourself as well. Practicing self-love is not just about practicing to love what we are now or today, it also includes hard work of bettering ourselves every single time not because of wanting to please the people around us but simply just for ourselves. Just because we want to see us grow and become better. Confidence in presenting yourself to people is very sexy especially if you fully appreciate and accept who you really are. But there are some instances where confidence is scarce. We cannot stop ourselves from having anxieties...
