Popularity vs Respect

WHAT IS POPULARITY?

 The Latin origin of popularity is “root pop” meaning “the people” It is the state or condition of being liked, admired and supported by many people. It is a very strong status, but may have more or less importance to different people. It tends to have negative meaning but is still something that is highly desired.

 WHAT IS RESPECT?

  Respect comes from “root spect” meaning “to look back” It is a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something evoked by their abilities, qualities and achievements. It is to have deep regard for another person’s beliefs.

EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE POPULAR ARE:

 First, Osama Bin Laden.      Osama Bin Laden was born in Saudi Arabia in 1957 or 1958. On May 1, 2011, American soldiers killed him in his compound in Pakistan. Intelligence officials believe Bin Laden was responsible for many deadly acts of terrorism, including the 1998 bombing of the U.S embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.                                                                                                         

Secondly, Abubakar Shekau.       Abubakar Shekau was born between 1965 and 1975, he was hated by virtually all Nigerians. He is the head of the terrorist group called “Boko Haram” that was responsible for the deaths of thousands of Nigerians and the kidnapping of the Chibok girls.

EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE RESPECTED ARE:

First, William Henry Bill Gate III.         Bill Gate was born on October 28, 1955. He is an American business magnate, investor, author, and philanthropist, Since 1987, Gate has been included in the Forbes list of the world’s wealthiest people and he is currently the richest person in the world with estimated net worth of U.S $85.6 billion as of February 2017.                                               

Secondly,      Nelson Mandela.            Mandela was born in 18 July, 1918. He was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician and philanthropist, who served as president of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was the country’s first black head of state and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election.

IMPORTANCE OF POPULARITY:

You will be recognized and liked by many people, it makes you feel accepted, the more secure you will feel, the less social mean act will come your way and the more you will fit in.

IMPORTANCE OF RESPECT:

Respect has a longer- lasting effect, most people do not continue to look up to or even remember those who were popular in school for many years, rather they continue to remember those that they respected.

WHAT DO WE REALLY MEAN BY POPULARITY VERSES RESPECT?

Firstly, the difference between popularity verse respects is that popularity is about surface appearance. While, respect is about the admirable quality that lies within.                                             

Secondly, someone is popular because of what they do. While, someone is given respect because of who they are.

QUALITIES FOUND IN SOMEONE THAT IS RESPECTED ARE:

Courage, social – intelligence, integrity, kindness and self-confidence.

DEMANDS OF POPULARITY:

Popularity requires pleasing, it can be limiting, it breeds insincerity, it is competitive and it attracts imitators.

IN CONCLUSION:

In a world dominated by social media, it’s easy to be tricked that the person with the most likes is the winner. However, would you prefer to do business with someone just because they are cool? Um, probably not, you will rather prefer doing business with someone you respect and that comes down to what our grandparents called “Good Morals”. The choice is yours now, do you prefer popularity to respect or respect to popularity. 

Gay Right and Marriage

On SmartKlass today ,I'm hoping to give you an overview on the topic "Gay Right and Marriage"and I will cover these few points.

What causes one to be gay?

Is There a Gay Gene?
Is Homosexuality caused by environmental factor such as Upbringing,Child Molestation,An absent mother or affectionate father.

Although there have been few studies on the causes of homosexuality which brings about a debate between the scientist and the religious fundamentalist.

To get the answer to the question,we need to know what is SEXUAL ORIENTATION.

Sexual orientation is an enduring inflectional attraction one feel towards another person.

In other words sexual orientation falls along a continuum,someone does not have to be exclusively homosexual or heterosexual but feel vary degree of attraction towards another person.

Does it matter if homosexuality is a choice? Shouldn't gay people be offered the same right as heterosexuals? Not all people think so.

If homosexuality is caused by genetics and inborn traits then LGBT community would be unable to change their sexual orientation even if they wanted to, But if it is caused by environmental factor,then they can change and become straight through the help of therapy or rehabilitation.

Is being gay a choice? DON'T GO ANYWAY,SIT BACK ON MORE INFORMATION ON GAY RIGHT AND MARRIAGE AFTER THESE SHORT BREAK.

WELCOME BACK,STILL ON THE QUESTION.

Is being gay a choice?

If u ask most gay people, they will u tell that being gay is not what they choose, Why would anyone choose to be something that could cause them to be scorned by the society,rejected by families,deny of their right and subjected to possible violent rate crime?We don't choose our sexual orientation but we choose whether or not to come out of the closet.

The National Mental Health Association says"Most researchers believe sexual orientation is complex and biology play an vital role,believing they homosexuality is not a choice.

Is There A Gay Gene?
Scientists have not been able to conclude that there is any gene or combination of genes that can make someone gay.

Genetics is very complex and scientists continue to study both human and animal chromosomes for linkage to sexual orientation.

And no matter what they find,THE GAYS ,THE LESBIANS AND THEIR SUPPORTER will continue to fight for fair and equal treatment.

We have about 20 {twenty} countries where same sex marriage is Legal Nationwide exclusive of the United states and Mexico since they only allots gay marriage in certain law, And about 77{seventy seven} countries with law against sexual relation between people of the same sex.

But we know according to the law of God, created ADAM AND EVE Not ADAM AND STEVE!!!

So my dear reads, when you are making your choices, Do make a wise one.

Love does not Guarantee the success of a Relationship

I have been in relationships and I have found out that love does not guarantee the success of a relationship. Love alone cannot help you stick to one person. After all, cheating is not always a product of not loving your partner. In fact, Loving someone does not guarantee not falling in love with any other person.

Relationships work out mostly because of our head not our heart, It works out because of emotional maturity, empathetic intelligence and self discipline. You see, times will come when you will see people that are better than the one you are in a relationship with. 

In those times, Love will not help you, Self control, Emotional intelligence and commitment will. No matter how you feel for someone, The person you are committed to ranks first in your life. 

You think married people don't see better people than the ones they married? You think they don't feel
funny sometimes? You think they don't catch feelings? They do!. But understanding that commitment is greater than feelings is a great arsenal to destroy that impulse. 

You can fall in love with anyone, but building a relationship takes absolutely more than what attracted you to them. It takes more than Love. 

We are too fond of loving when it's convenient, when it's sweet. We are too fond of loving when love is there but that can only last for just the first 3-6 months of the relationship. 

After then, You will realise that the feelings have dropped, It is now your responsibility to make it work, not love's responsibility, YOURS!. Building a relationship is hard work, it's like building a career, It's like pursuing a dream. It's always tough, it will sometimes be so bitter but you can always make it work through hard work. Both of You!

HOW YOU WILL GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU FOCUS UPON

Yesterday you practiced bringing your awareness into the present moment. Hopefully, you were able to feel that by shifting the focus of your mind to what is actually happening around you in this moment, your emotional state literally changed to a calmer, more appreciative level.

This is the first step to using the focus of your mind. Once you feel the power available to you in the present, you can then begin to focus on how to bring about the events of your life that you desire.

The ability to focus your mind is the most physically practical skill you can develop. The simple reason for this is that the focus of your mind attracts to you the experiences that you consistently dwell upon. I realize that I am beginning to repeat myself, but it is vital that you truly understand this truth if you are committed to enjoying prosperity in your life.

The part of your inner self that we call the subconscious mind literally creates for you the experiences of your life. But this creation is not random, arbitrary, or accidental in any way, and you are definitely in charge of this power.

Your inner mind faithfully creates your life experiences according to your
conscious beliefs. And you have one hundred percent control over the thoughts of your conscious mind. This should be an extremely liberating idea, for you are free to choose precisely the focus of your mind and the direction of your life.

So in order to bring experiences of prosperity into your life, you must focus on the wealth you already have, be grateful for the blessings that are already in your life, and focus on the abilities you already possess that will bring wealth to you.

By practicing each day, as you are now doing, you will naturally change your consciousness from a state of lack to a state of abundance. Remember to practice the focusing technique you learned yesterday. Simply be where you are, and notice the world as it is in this moment.

Then focus your mind on how you wish things to be, and project your desires out into the world.

Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:

I WILL NO LONGER FOCUS ON THE APPARENT LACK IN MY LIFE.
I PLACE MY ENTIRE FOCUS ON MY ABILITY TO BRING WEALTH
INTO MY LIFE, AND I FOCUS, WITH GRATITUDE, ON THE
ABUNDANCE WITH WHICH I AM ALREADY BLESSED.

TAKE ACTION: Re-examine the financial goal that you set for yourself on
day three. Hopefully you have remembered to read this goal on a daily
basis. Right now, spend five minutes focusing your mind on this goal,
expecting that it is already rushing towards you, and feel your ability to
create this experience in your future simply by focusing on it right now.

“The forces of Nature are at the disposal of the
person of vigor and determination and desire.
Such a one has but to knock at the door of

HOW YOUR DESIRES ARE THE KEY TO YOUR SPIRITUAL EVOLUTION

Your desires are directions for your psychological development as a human being. If you follow your desires, and ask yourself why you truly want the things that you want, you will find that your desires always lead to the attainment of certain emotional states.

For example, right now you desire prosperity. But what is it that prosperity will give you? Do you really want thousands of hundred dollar bills stocked away that will be the physical symbol of your wealth? Or do you actually desire the feelings you think you will have if you possessed enough cash.

The answer is obvious. You do not want actual money; that is, bits of colored paper that need to be safeguarded from others. What you want is freedom, independence, the ability to share, to solve problems, to heal yourself and others. Ultimately, you want to be happy. These are feelings, not things. These are emotional states that you desire. And why do you desire these states? Because they are the next level in your psychological evolution as a human being. You want to give more, have more, and experience more. So you should look upon your desires as positive, growth-inducing emotions.

Unfortunately, we are often conditioned to feel guilty for wanting too much. Many believe that there is a blatant contradiction between wanting to have it all and feeling empathetic to the plight of less fortunate people. Basically, we are led to believe that it is evil to be rich in a world filled with poverty. This attitude misses a crucial truth of humanity. Evolution is an individual experience, and each individual must learn for him or herself how to manifest more of the life energy we all desire. We cannot help others by being pulled down by the “reality” of the world’s suffering. Empathy does not mean you must be as sad and poor as the rest of humanity. True empathy means that you use your personal power, your hopeful energy, and your wealth to solve the situations of the world that you find unsatisfactory. Only when each individual stakes their claim to divine power can negative physical experiences are alleviated.

Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I DESIRE POWER, FREEDOM, ENERGY AND WEALTH. I DESIRE
THESE FOR MYSELF AND FOR EVERY BEING ON THIS PLANET.
I WILL USE MY PERSONAL POWER TO HELP LIFT THE STATE OF
THE EARTH TO A MORE SATISFACTORY LEVEL. MY DESIRES ARE
POSITIVE, GROWTH-INDUCING EMOTIONS.

TAKE ACTION: Your assignment today is to banish the guilt of desire.
Feel grateful, blessed that you are in the position to draw wealth to you
and make a commitment to use your wealth and power to help change the
conditions of the world with which you are uncomfortable.

“One must not lose desires. They are mighty
stimulants to creativeness, to love, and to long life.”
Alexander Bogomoletz

HOW TO AVOID YOURSELF FROM THE NEGATIVITY OF OTHERS OR NEGATIVE PEOPLE

HOW TO AVOID YOURSELF FROM THE NEGATIVITY OF OTHERS OR NEGATIVE PEOPLE 

You have taken it upon yourself to grow as a human being. Inevitably you
will face resistance, or the appearance of resistance, in the form of negative people and negative self-talk from your mind.

YOU MUST PROTECT YOURSELF FROM NEGATIVITY!
Avoid negative people and situations. Do not allow anyone the opportunity to douse their negative energy on you as you try to evolve. It is not necessary to explain to anybody where your new mental attitude is coming from, or where the cash is flowing from, unless they are completely supportive and genuinely interested.

Do not argue or defend your new ideas to anyone! Ignore them, and get
away from anybody who cannot understand the psychological principles you are learning in this program. This is the easy part. You must also banish the negative self-talk that incessantly occurs in your mind. Replace all negativity, criticism and self-doubt with an honest belief in your ability to change anything in your life.

You do not have to pretend that you do not have problems, or that things
do not always go smoothly, but you must realize that you have the ability
to solve any of your problems, and the potential to attain all of your goals.
This is not blind hope, but literal fact.

The easiest way to banish negativity from your life is to have an optimistic view towards the future. Perhaps your past has been filled with negativity and pain, but there is no reason to drag this pain with you as you grow older. You have the power to make your life a positive expression of your spirit. Realize that you have the power to change anything in your life with
which you are unsatisfied. This knowledge will give you the strength to go
beyond the negativity we are all surrounded by. Also, with positivity and
optimism, it is much easier to turn your problems into opportunities for
growth.

Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I WILL AVOID NEGATIVE PEOPLE AND I WILL NOT ENGAGE IN
NEGATIVE SELF-TALK. I KNOW THAT I CAN HANDLE ANY OF MY
PROBLEMS IF I COMMIT TO CHANGING THEM. I HAVE NOW
COMMITTED TO FINANCIAL ABUNDANCE, AND SO I WILL REACH
MY GOALS.

TAKE ACTION: Optimism for the future is the easiest shortcut to banish negativity. Today, create for yourself a simple, short statement of positivity that you can repeat to yourself whenever you feel doubt, or fear, or anger. A good example is “I am healthy, wealthy, and wise,” or “Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better,” or simply “Everything is going my way.” Find a statement that you are comfortable with and apply it throughout your day.

“Without doubt, the most common weakness of all
human beings is the habit of leaving their minds open
to the negative influence of other people.”
Napoleon Hill
