Let go of yesterday

What happened yesterday is only a distant memory now.

Turn the page and look forward to what today will bring.

If there's one certainty in life, it's that life goes on.

What happened yesterday is a springboard to new experiences that await us today and in the future.

But we must resist the urge to harp on things we can no longer revisit except in our thoughts.

Whether what occurred yesterday was favorable or negative, we cannot remain in the same point in time for too long.

Experiences help us learn and grow, and great ones are certainly worth reminiscing about every so often.

But if we dwell too much on what happened yesterday, we inhibit ourselves from progressing.

Obviously, everyone aims to live as happy a life as possible -- one chock-full of magnificent experiences.

But that won't happen if we remain enmeshed in the past.

Always remain forward-looking. If yesterday was a lousy day, guess what? Today can be a whole lot better so long as you believe it to be possible.

If yesterday was a great day, more power to you, but remember to keep a pragmatic outlook: today could be worse, but if it is, you'll have better days to look forward to again.

There are sunny days and then there are dark, rainy ones. Both come and go, and neither lasts too long.

The point is that no matter what today is like, we need to keep moving. Time does not stand still. Life is short, and it's up to us to make every moment count.

Women vs. Men: Who likes to backstab more?

Whether it's on TV or in the workplace, the general consensus seems to be that women gossip, backstab, and stir up more conflict than men do. But, as with every other topic, I thought it only fair to put this so-called stereotype under the microscope. If you watch reality shows like Celebrity Apprentice, you'll notice it's the women who spend far more time bickering. While the men do at times become embroiled in tit for tat, it's the women who are portrayed as meaner and more hostile. In the workplace, I have noticed that women seem to gossip far more than their male counterparts. I haven't really seen any cases where a person blatantly backstabs the other, but I have caught both men and women in little white lies. If it is true that women are generally more into backstabbing and gossiping than men, why is this the case? I believe that it isn't fair to make a blanket statement like "all women play these games while all men keep to themselves and pre...

Do you have Isolophilia? Find out...

You're probably asking yourself, "What in the world does Isolophilia mean?" It sounds like it would be something negative, doesn't it?  After all, words that end in "philia" (e.g., pedophilia) tend to involve things we want nothing to do with. But Isolophilia isn't something all people deplore. In fact, introverts like me welcome it. Put simply, Isolophilia is defined as having a strong affinity for solitude. It describes a person who relishes being alone. While extroverts can only take so much solitude, we introverts find that it rejuvenates us. In order to recharge our batteries, we need to retreat to a quiet environment where we we're left alone to rest and/or gather our thoughts. Extroverts, on the other hand, become bored and drained when they're alone for a lengthy period of time. Social interaction is the fuel that drives them. So while an extrovert would probably do anything to avoid feelings of Isolophilia in most cases, an...

Men prefer to marry brunettes

Study after study shows that men prefer blondes as girlfriends or mistresses and brunettes as wives . It seems many men see brunettes as more trustworthy and loyal. What's more, even though participants claimed that blondes are better in bed, they feel brunettes are better kissers and more affectionate than blondes. I find these results to be rather interesting. In my high school and early college days, I actually had a preference for blondes myself -- that is, until I hooked up with my now-wife. From that point on, I deemed brunettes as more attractive and marriage material, probably because they reminded me of and more closely resembled her. I think we can blame Hollywood, shows like Baywatch, and Playboy for painting blondes as wild, big chested, promiscuous and loose. (Yes, I know that there are brunettes in Playboy, but they seem to be in the minority.) When someone tells a man to think of an attractive blonde, who do you think likely crosses his mind? More likely than...
