| Something ridiculously funny came to my mind...
If someone thinks you're "windy" as a speaker, that may mean you're mostly attuned to Air as your element.
If someone thinks you're quite "wishy-washy," then that may refer to Water.
If it's "hot-headed," then perhaps the Fire is firecracker.
If it's "hard to get through into," then you're amongst those that are stubborn as Rocks(Earth).
If you tend to "lose yourself into a whole 'nuther dimension" at times, then you may be commuting between worlds of Spirit.
Definitely makes me think about moments pertaining to each of those, and what a silly laugh to make light of them afterwards to creatively see how true they appeared then.

| From criticisms to constructive criticisms, it is mainly a way of looking at something that seems to be better, that is, without the former believing to have proven better in different situations.
It is often far more easier and takes lesser effort to criticize or belittle something than it is to invest more energy and accept potential challenges in creation. This I will always remember from the moment my preschool teacher tried to open her students' eyes about the damage in knocking over another's clay sculpture, which doesn't get as much more forward progress as in responding with attempts to create their own, for the reason of creating something better by comparison or just creating something non-related because of the contagious sense of aspiration to produce, and have little to no destruction in the value and energy of creations that aren't yours.
Well...there's times that one can't find the constructive ways instead of saying, "that hella sucks." I'm sure many of us do love a little tact and politeness in "uh yeah...that's nice. it's nice." When asked about what people think of taking criticism, annoying or 'hao fan ah" is very commonly felt. With constructive criticism, there aren't any opinions that greatly stand out...plus it goes into each individual's preference towards how blunt others should be with them.
Right now, I have been finding things to lean more on straight criticisms. Probably the rain or cold weather, as they're so believed to be a factor...

| It's great Bush banned the consideration of a person's genetic profile within reviewing he/she for employment.
How much can a person's genes become a restriction or limitation towards their ability to perform the duties of a given job? A person's genetic make-up is pretty much who they are and not something that can be modified easily. Much of the variations in each person's abilities are already being addressed towards the question of available and reasonable accomodations, which we can often quickly spot examples in any worksite.
Because of an article in a medical publication, I am still reminded of when I first learned of the large financial investments, the big skepticism that came to no surprise, and the "dreamers" who saw great subsequent developments from the Human Genome Project. First, it was about mapping it. Then, it was about splicing to correct defects at the prenatal/pre-fertilization stages before some child has to go through life unable to make some necessary enzyme. This project has now advanced towards dealing with cancer.
So what if someone has some kind of genetically-based cancer? They're probably too old and grown up to get their whole body treated successfully in a short amount of time and resume their life eliminated of that 'handicap'. Clearly, society has been including people with skin discolorations and skeletal or muscular mobility problems in smooth integrations into john q public with lesser and lesser things that make them stand out enough to affect the way such persons adequately cope. Some cancers have resulted for some individuals a hardship with little or no hope for correction/cure. It, in a sense, has become who they are. If an employer or HMO interviewer makes significant changes in their decisions based on who-they-were-and-are-now-with-cancer, it appears to me that this is a matter of going beyond assessing a potential "associate/affiliate" personality-wise to an acquired 'handicap' they usually have very little control of. Especially when it comes to qualifying for health insurance, having to pay more or be restricted from certain hmo plans feels like added sufferance. Would it be better to utilize having the genetic profiles of cancer-afflicted victims available for the benefit of research as a pool of individual case persons, shown a little extra discounted-rate gratitude for being available to possibly aid cancer research in some way as they present themselves as a 'sick' person undergoing accepted treatment and/or volunteering in test treatment trials? It beats having research projects place ads to round up victims badly affected by cancers and lack access to decent medical help. Bush's move will greatly help to lock out a part of society where people can face discrimination on the bases of their genetic profile (not to mention having such personal information be disclosed to an institution that may reject your application).

..."Every Other Weekend", a duet with Kenny Chesney and Reba McEntire!

| We often hear about forgiveness and anguishing wish for rewinding time, especially when it comes to the winter holiday seasons. This 'season' can be whenever one realizes their own reasons why they really want such a thing in regards for the other person as well as themselves. I got to hear this again as I am living my life from a friend who is embedded deep in my memories from significant signs of their sincere concern for my well-being. Although I didn't get to humble the wise words, "I may want to hate the things you do, but I don't think I want a heart inside that hate you." Certain social events may propagand this value, and it probably affects me just as much as a lot of other people as we become more aware of the approaching seasonal highlights. Jingle bell rocks! (And it always has since I first heard the song) | | |
